Just eleven days into 2014, and I've been slapped with the harsh reality of life. I've noticed the people who use you, the people who genuinely care about you and the people who selfishly act like they are a good friend for the reputation they despairingly want to acquire. C'mon, it's 2014... no-one's an idiot here (excuse the irony). But hey, it is not subtle to differentiate the genuine from the fake people.
In the past week, I've realised I only have 5 friends who actually matter to me, and I actually matter for them. Those who once considered me as a "close" or "best" friend has shown their true colours to me (and their true face) where they urge to bitch, two face everyone and yap about drugs or alcohol. Where is the sense of humanity? Where is the passion to discuss about future career opportunities and talk about headlining news or finance, or enjoy music and reprimand on certain restaurants or the latest movie releases? Where is it all? It's hidden under the superficial and materialistic society that I'm surrounded by, and one by one, everyone's assimilating.
