A SAMPLE LETTER FOR A FRIEND



Dear Jo,
           I want to use this opportunity to give my sincere greetings to you. I would also want to express my feelings as a friend, or since the day of the mark of our friendship…
It’s still vivid the times when we’re still on our second year in high school. That period was the days of the most heated friendship we had. In our every conversation, I always enjoy when you share your personal life events even though we’re not the same in gender. Sometimes, you cried, you laughed, everyday different. You trusted me. That’s what I’m very thankful to you. I had patience in conversation only with you and I can’t say no one had ever had the guts to talk to me within long hours except you even though I only replied through nods.
You were the only one whom I tried to befriend without stumbling. I am certain that I am being hated by no one but when people approach me, it’s very unique and in neutral way, it’s special. But I understand them because I was able to see things within their perspectives. However, you’re different from those people. You showed the true you. You punched me, patted me so hard, pinched me extraordinarily, you also shouted and frowned to me in a very, very bad way. My parents or my siblings didn’t do these things. I was not used to be punished in our household like what my siblings had experienced. It seems that they’re shy to teach me lessons after I did something wrong. No doubts, I’m their favorite indeed. HAHA!  Kidding! But what I am trying to say is—you’re being shameful to me. However, did you know that I appreciate that more than the passive approach I receive?
           I felt a different—and natural—personality when you accompanied me. We even fought many times. Sometimes, I let my words to be harsh. However, we solved our quarrels immediately. And you continued again your ‘drama’ in front of me. I am not sure if my advice were enough but am very happy even though we’re not in the same classroom anymore because I think your world had changed. You’re not already in sad mode, as you were always. And you have made a new circle of friends—true friends.
Now, we just talk rarely. By the way, I am sorry if I didn’t grant your favor in the past few days. But I promise to grant it next time. I was just so sad these times. I was just belittling you before that you’re weak, that you were overacting depression because your problems were too small to be focused on. But now, I have experienced those feelings you had before that I didn’t seriously consider.
However, I didn’t change myself even though I am going through difficult situations now. I’m not a bellyacher, you know. And that’s one of our differences.
We’re approaching to the start of end of our high school journey, we’re approaching the time that we’ll be so far to each other. When that happens, I hope that we won’t change ourselves—particularly our dealing to each other—because you have become a part of my life and I wish it is mutual.
We’re friends forever…
:)
