Recurring Question.

Have I made someone happy? That is the question I am asking myself these past few days. I can say that if the only people that was happy because of me were my parents because I was born in this world, maybe I am living in vain.

I know, I have made people smile or even laugh, but on a deeper level, I don’t know if I have ever made someone thank God that I have them in their lives or if ever I have changed someone’s life positively. That’s the thing I wanted to know. And if there are maybe a few who were thankful, maybe that would be my proof that God has made me a blessing to others and that would be a great feeling for me. Maybe that would make me feel that I am living my purpose and maybe it would make me change the way I see myself.

Is my circle getting smaller?

During my two decades and three years of living, I am pretty sure that I have made quite a number of friends. From pre-school, elementary, high school, college and in the workplace, I can see that I have made many acquaintances, those people I will give my smile and wave a Hi when I see them in the hallways of the university or in the boundaries of the office or even while strolling in the mall or somewhere else. I had also quite a number of online acquaintances or those people I used to chat in facebook and even exchange a couple of tweets in twitter. 

But I would never even bother to boast about the number of my acquaintances, may it be on a personal level or just virtually, what I can boast about are the number of friends I gained during the twenty three years of my existence. I can say that I have made more than a few. I have friends whom I can count on in times of need, and not just those people I laugh and drink with during outings, night outs and dine-outs. I can say that most of these people, still belong to my circle of friends in college and high school. I don’t say that I am not fond of the people I am with in the workplace, but I just think that through the years, I do became picky with my friends whom I can really open up. Is this a sign of maturity?
