It's been a while since I clogged myself and I can't really sleep anyway, so, here goes.
The clique has really come a long way and I have to say I'm proud to be a part of the twenty of us. There's been alot that I've experienced while being with you guys. Many things that my lifestyle would have prohibited me to experience and as a result, comprehend. Twenty diverse personalities and characteristics, it's been a real eye-opener. I've learnt alot.
Now, some of us here see the clique as a unity of friends, thicker than blood, some us see it as an expandable source of friends; all twenty of us see this clique in each of their own right.
The clique, being something that is rather significant to me, I put in alot of effort in trying to bond all twenty of us, but yes, this is the real world we're all talking about, it's almost impossible.
With clashing mindsets, beliefs and priorities, it's rather difficult for us to always be on the same page. Well, even if it's a fact that there are cliques in our clique, or if there are frenemies amongst us, I guess it doesn't really matter as long as we all get along with one another. After all, it's a way of life. I believe that we can work around our imperfections, if we're just willing to try.
I have to say though, that one trait that this clique lacks is solidarity. We tend to overlook this trait. For starters, we have to admit, there are people out there trying to spite us. (Seriously, I don't even know why, enlighten me if you do. Why again do we have orgies. It's senseless. Perhaps it's just the reckless effervescence of youth) Secondly, backstabbing is such a norm that "friends" have evlolved into a rather shallow term. We're consistently watching our own backs. The list can go on.
There's so many factors that are testing our solidarity, lest it be torn apart. It's time we began understanding one another, be more than a friend and not TO PRETEND. Some of us are self-centered even, I'm one of them.
Let's be mindful of each of us. Let's put our hands and hearts together to strengthen our friendship and camaraderie. Make the impossible, possible.
Remember that this clique isn't here to magnify our status, as some people might have accused us of. I do hope that you guys did give a thought when you clicked yes to join this clique. It was your choice, no one made it for you. The door is always open though, but I hope it doesn't go there.
To end this entry off, I'd simply like to say that...
This clique doesn't need effort or commitment,
it just needs a HEART.
Winston
