Friends

Is it just me? Or does it really seem like every manga that contain the above theme could easily surpass other mangas that don't? It's weird isn't it? So why does this phenomenon occurs? Why would people chose to read a manga that contain a theme that so common to us? Weren't people nowadays are trying so hard to create something different and new? Well, the same goes to me too... despite of my effort to piss you guys off in the last few annoying sentence with my cynical criticism towards the theme of friendship, I too........ (*sigh)..... has become one of your comrade.... (*cheers, everyone..)... Well, right after I was infected with your virus, suddenly I just realize, manga with this kinda theme, along with its commonness has such a big effect on us because childhood was certainly the best part of our lifetime.... the time of childhood when people become friends without hoping for any benefit in return... Damn it, it has just been a year since I left high school, but I'm missing it already... having friends that climb trees together and getting scolded, friends that skip school together because the teacher scolded only one of them, friends that at anytime willing to put their breath on the line, just to save each others' asses... I could never found myself to be saying this kinda things when I'm in elementary school. I'm actually someone that happen to be lucky enough for not having even a single person which I could've called a friend... Shit, how I hate myself at that time... Everyday ends with me asking God, "why the hell did he put me into this world... did he hated me so much, and like everybody else, just wanting me suffered..." I spent my day that time just getting bullied at school and coming home later, expecting myself to be beaten just like any other day before... but when I sit here today and i tried look back to my darker past, that hell I've gone through wasn't that bad after all... because when I was 12 and going to 13, I started to leave my past behind and entered a boarding school... and there, to my surprise, are a few gentlemen that are willing to stood next to me in hard times... and since i have a very scary solitude in my earlier childhood, I learned to value my friends even more. From that moment, more and more people came to trust me and becoming my friend... Finally, I understand, what god gave me isn't so bad after all... and I won't have my childhood any other way, just to gain a true friend when i grow up... These are some pics to remind everyone about the beauty of those hardship we had before when we were kid...for those who had been through them...
