As I grow older and change myself too I recognise what they live for, what ideology they follow or what they believe in. Which side they have taken in life, what they fight for. Perhaps I see in them things that I find in myself too, evolving and coming into surface.
For example, I noticed that my friend C talks many times about humanitarian topics. Against wars and for the sake of equality in humankind. As I am taking my own individual position opinion wise, his words are becoming interesting to me.
Before, I wanted to have friends I can count on. Friends that we share same interest with, true and faithful friends. I realised, no one can promise fidelity as we tend to adrift like snowflakes from one to another, and the person who lives in your memory is not the same person who is present, we change, move on.
Even before this, when I was young I looked for friends who appreciated me and saw the best in me, who were there for me in times of crises. Now I understand, that what I was looking for in others, I wanted to find in myself.
