NOTE: - This article of mine specifically and eloquently speaks about the bond we humans share with some other very special humans, known as Friendship and its related content. The bond friends share, the things they do, the fun they have and etc. So it might contain some explicit content at places and therefore for those of you who still belong that orthodox community of world I beforehand urge you to please stop your journey of reading this article at the end of this note that is here.
So to begin with, in 1994 a show aired on American TV including six persons as its lead cast widely known as F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Most of you must be acknowledged to it and some of you may not. The show often credited as the "Best Show Ever", "Best Show of All Time" and etc. is usually regarded so because there is something very special about this show. We all feel connected to this show with us being one of those six characters and the other five being our five best friends that matter the most in our life. But this specific thing is not the only beauty of this show. It has got a lot more. In fact, if you keep yourself out of the image being anyone out of six of them then this shows teaches legion of things that in real life our friends do and that's what the purpose of my writing this whole article is all about. The things I learnt from F.R.I.E.N.D.S or I must say from friends.
Let's first start with Joey Tribbiani not only because I connected with him the most but also because he is my personal favorite among all of them. So first of all, this man taught me to be blithe for every moment, for every second of your life. He taught me to be chill in life because this very life we live ought to be chilled. He taught me that you should live every breath of yours till it's your last. Be a glutton. Eat recklessly and greedily and do not hesitate in doing the same with your friends because they only adore you for this. Be popular among girls. Make out with as many as girls till you find your true love. Love what you do and do what you love even if doesn't earn you well because someday you are gonna be Dr. Drake Ramoray in Days of Our Lives. Be the one who always makes other laugh because of his out of the box antics. Be the one who can open a girl's top without ripping off any buttons on it. Be awesome and carefree that's what he taught me cause life is short and you gotta live every moment of it.
Moving to Chandler M. Bing, the funniest of all. Well, he taught me that there are a humor, satire, and sarcasm in almost everything and even if there's not, you can make one out of it. Maybe no one takes you seriously or maybe people at your workplace do not know your real name but let this not stop people from loving you. Be supportive to your friends in thick and thin, be it financially like to Joey or emotionally like to all at times. And it doesn't matter if your past had someone like Janice or you are bad in bed because there will be times when you will eventually fall for someone very special, someone very close, someone whom you always called your best friend. Their happiness is what will matter you to most then. He taught me that be funny and touch-wood that ignites the fire of laughter.
Now Rachel Green, the girl upon whom everyone had a crush on at least at one point of time. And why not? The most beautiful (needs no proof), the best dressing sense (again no proof required) and obviously the princess of some fairyland. She taught me that a girl who has had always been a daddy's daughter and always under his caress, never seen the real world before, can well stand on her because of the talent she has. She taught me how to attract someone towards you. That it's always extraordinary to be loved by someone special very close to your heart. She taught me that it's not always good to hide your emotions. Sometimes just let them burst out. She taught me to be what you are in reality even if that's not good for the world cause it would be good for your friends no matter what.
Then the insane one Pheobe Buffay. Well, she was my favorite among the girl not only because she was attractive but also because she taught me something that we often ignore in us. Being weird and awkward. She taught me that it doesn't matter if you are in your 20s or 30s because everyone's got a child inside them and although most of us would bury it deep inside us you let him out in this real world. She taught me to be helpful and kind to others even if that requires giving birth to triplets of your brother. Don't forget the ones who begeted you even if they left you in misery cause it's because of them you are in this world. She taught me that it doesn't matter what your past was, all that matters is what your present is. She taught me to be weird, awful and childish because just like the Joker said, "Why So Serious"?
Then comes the most peculiar man Ross Geller. The nicest guy among the whole group. A father, a son, a brother, a friend, a lover, a paleontologist and what not? He taught me that it's amazing to love someone special with the whole your heart out. Be a brother who knows what is bad and good for your sister and be there for her. How to be a sincere and obliging son and how to be a dutiful and responsible father. And it's okay to get married and get divorced again and again because sometimes things just don't work out. Be emotional as and when required by the situations. Be smart and a man who knows his ways around everything be it friendship or life is what I learnt from him.
And the last but not the least his sister Monica Geller. You know that competitive and bossy Monica I am talking about that wants everything to be done in the way she has thought of it or you better be ready for the forthcoming disaster. She taught me that it doesn't matter whom you love is way elder than you cause all that matters is how much you love them. She taught it's okay to be mean at times especially if it involves your friends cause they just don't mind it. She taught me that sometimes your soulmate is very near to you all you need is to find him. She taught me that don't always feel special to have best persons as your friends but also constantly strive to make your friends feel the same. She taught me to be competitive, contending and be a true friend.
There are unremitting number of things that these six characters edified me in one way or the other and the list is beyond the scope of this article because writing all that stuff is just impossible as somethings you just have to feel and at the same time it would be unjustified so as to pen down them. But I will try to outline the basic things that I learnt all in all. First of all, I learnt that be a true friend and if you can't be that then don't be it. As simple as that. Be supportive. Be a friend who has always got their back. Encourage them when they need motivation. Have fun with them. Share everything with them. Tease them. Make a fool out of them. Surprise them. Celebrate with them. Plan out a journey with them. Be in trouble with them. Stand up for them cause they will always for you whether it's right or wrong. Cheer them up when they feel lugubrious. Give biased judgment toward them. Quarrel with them. Be upset with them. Make them happy. Make them go furious over tiny things. Reveal their secrets to their parents (cause they hide the best with us). Mimic one of your friends with the others. Fall in your love with one of your friends just like Joey-Rachel, Ross-Rachel, Monica-Chandler because worst that can happen is there will a no for you. Be genuine, no show-offs. Be frank with them. Laugh your head off with them. Cry with them. Mourn with them. Let your friends fix a date for you cause sometimes random date can give you your soulmate, remember Mike? Confide in and hide your best secrets from them because they don't know that we know they know we know. Have priorities and keep them on the top of it. They are the second family to you. Create unforgettable memories with them because it's only that when you reminisce will bring a smile to your lips. And in the end be a FRIEND.
And this post is basically not an article. It's a thank you note from me being a general person to his friends that thank you all for being there in my life. Thank you for being there when I was going through the toughest times of life and no one was around. Thank you for teaching me something every day. Thank you for giving some cherishable memories that I can always embrace and endear. Thank you for every small thing you people had done in one way or other for me. And no matter where you are you will always be close to the heart cause distance, time and things do not change anything. For me, friendship needs only two things. Me and you.
And lastly a request that be there like you all have always been, when the rain starts to pour like you have been there before.
Your true friend.
