You know how some people can brighten up your day simply by smiling? When the same person talks to you, you'll feel as if there were a lighthouse around you all day.

Now, I am not talking about someone whom I idolise, admire, or have the slightest crush on. Nah. I'm talking about a friend of a friend. We met today by chance and talked awhile because we were both waiting for someone. There wasn't much depth, just the normal stuff you'll talk with someone you don't really know. But it does have an effect on brightening my day.

Also, there are others who can do the exact opposite. They can plunge your days into darkness simply by not talking to you. It happened to me awhile ago. It was depressing. But I'm glad to know people who can light up my day. I don't mean to say that those who darken my days aren't friends. If I don't know them, why would their silence even bother me? They are friends, just perhaps there's some kind of gap between us.

Friends are not only part of our life.
They make our life.
So treasure them.
