Old Friends

“Old but Gold” said an old saying, stated that something old or having a longer existence means that its possess values that can’t be easily replaced by the new ones. I’m totally agree with this proverb since I have experienced it by myself, about how precious the things that have been with us for a long time. But in my case, it s not a thing but something more valuable than others, it is about me and my old friends from the day of my middle school. I really am grateful for the chance to meet them back then, because they are precious to me and can’t be replaced, they have been with me for the longest though many hardships together, they knows and understand about me more than the others, and we also sharing the same dreams and interests.

First of all, my old friends have been with me for the longest time, we have gone though many hardship together and its something that strengthen our bonds. I first met them about 7 years ago; it was when I first returned to Bali after living in various places. It was awkward for me who was a returnee and I still remember it about how kind they were, they accepted me who was confused by the new condition of new environment and taught me about cultures here in Bali. We spent our time by hang out at the game centre near our school, and even now we still keep in touch with each other, they were the very first friend I made during my middle school days. Sometimes I recall the memories that we shared together and  I realize about how important they back then and even now.

Secondly, another special thing about my old friends are about how well they know and understand about me. They know the things that I like, the clothes that I prefer, my good side and bad side are also something that they are familiar with. They also had known things about me that most of people could not accept, but they were always there whenever I need a push to move forward. They always give me support and motivation when I was down, and they doesn’t hesitate to criticize me when I got ahead and turned arrogant. I really am luck for having them as my friends as they always able to accept me for the person I really am.

 Thirdly, those old friends of mine are rather unique, each of them really do share the same interest with each other. During our leisure time, we used it to gather in the game centre and gaming all night long. We still doing that kind of thing even when we are university student now, we often joined game competition for regional event. Last year, one of my friend asked to join a game competition known as “RO2”, and we were very anxious since it was our first competition after entered the university. We fought hard and ended up as the 4^th winner, however it was a good memory for me since we enjoyed our time during the tournament because it is precious. Not only that, but they also help me to achieve my dream to be a good writer, they help me to gather materials and samples to make good stories, and vice-versa as I help them with theirs. They are precious part of my life for various reasons.

 My old friends aren’t things that easily replaced by any other people, no matter it is my lover or new friends. They can’t be forgotten and will always by my side in joys or sorrows, struggling together to achieve things that we always believe on. They have known me for years, they are always cheered on me and will be there when I need them. They accept me for the person I really am, we share the same interest and they sees the world as what I do. We’ve gone through many things that strengthen our bonds, they are not people who will be forgotten or replaced by me.
