Few days ago

I had one of my proud moments

After 4.5 years of hardwork

I'm finally one step closer to my goal

My thesis finally returned after months of delay

& now I have to rush before a deadline just 1 month away

So I can have my convocation next year

That moment I received my theses

I was all so ready to work on it

Coz I know I am really close to the finishing line

I posted a photo of my letter

& commented that more work is to be done over the holidays

Friends were congratulating me

For making one step closer

I was thankful

Thankful for all the wishes, as well as my friends who encouraged me

A lot of flashbacks came into my mind

I saw how me & my friends worked hard

Played hard

Shared fun times

& told myself to appreciate friendship, no matter short or long

The next day

I received a call from a friend

She told me to be careful of what I post

Because my post & following comments made someone unhappy 

& I was condemned 

I was shocked

What have what I posted and my friends commented bother that someone?

Why poke into my private life and imply me of something i did not purposely do?

I was so sad

That I actually broke down during work

It was a happy & proud moment for me

Unfortunately only lasted for 1 day

I can understand why

I actually have sour grapes around me

who told twisted accounts behind my back

 

I then realised how naive I still am

Believing I have all the good friends who walk with me

But only to know

That the closest and most trusted friend screwed me & my 1-day happy moment

 I spoke to some other friends

Outside this community 

& they consoled me with their full heart

They felt for me and understand who I really am

They know I was innocent and appreciate me for being true all the time

and being me

They advised me to not look back

Move forward

Concentrate on my amendment

Prove them wrong about what they think about me

& that all of them will be supporting

Thanks

With all my heart

I took that 1-day happiness as a learning lesson in life

That no matter how old you are, thinking you will no longer have friends in life

The closest and most trusted person you know can be your enemy

My true friend told me

What doesnt kill you  make you stronger

& yes

It sure did

This kinda thing works extremely well for me

I will fight on
