After a hard day, my brain is drained. In comparison with other days, this one wasn't so bad, but, my health it's misbehaving again so, I'm on minimum charge. Plus, I had to give an exam today to my student in Peru, and that didn't help much with my headache.
I started to write something though, a short story, but I'm drained, I couldn't connect one sentence with the other. Then I thought that I'd write about food, but I'm hungry and on a diet so writing about food will give me more hunger so that's discarded for now.
Finally, it clicked: Random Questions!
Since I started writing I haven't found anything better to kick start my brain than a fresh batch of Random Questions, so, I searched in Google and found some good questions, this time for friends or about friends, that are interesting and fun at the same time.
I picked five questions out of fifty and here they are!
Have you ever had a falling out with a friendship? What happened?
Yes. Several in fact. The most recent was due to my dad's passing. Two of my college mates came to the funeral, they are not from here, they live in another state but they came anyway. At one point, we were talking when another one send an audio text, not to me, but to one of them asking if they could give me the message because she was busy. That's a girl that often referred to my father as her father and not mine, and to whom I gave shelter when she was homeless, I gave her food when she needed it, and put myself in the line to help her graduate with all of us. To this date, she hasn't given her condolences directly to any of us, but she often asks "How life is treating us" like nothing happened. I'm sorry, I won't have it. I'm easygoing and loyal, but once you lose me, it's for good.
What is more important, good communication or good connection?
This is a trick question. I believe that one of the foundations of a good connection is good communication, period. I mean, how can you connect to anybody if you're not able to communicate effectively? It's not possible, or at least not for me.
What would be the first thing you say at the gates of Heaven?
Can you send me back??
If there is a heaven, and it's like the movies or books I've seen and read, I would enjoy it for a bit, but I would definitely want to come back to earth. I lead a pretty monotonous and I don't like it, sure, I like to rest and chill as much as the next person but, not doing nothing because there's nothing To-Do is just bland, that's why I wouldn't like to spend eternity like that and would ask for a comeback. And that's assuming that when I die I would go to Heaven, maybe I'll be in the other direction.
What advice would you give to someone who is struggling in a love relationship?
That of course depends on the circumstances of the struggle, and if the person is willing to hear what I have to say.
If for instance, it's a trouble due to another person involved, I would probably advise you to leave. If the relationship is as weak as to welcome and accept the third party, one should leave by all means.
I had a friend who instead of leaving she welcomed the third part and the results were bad!
She had a relationship, a very serious relationship, live-in and all when an older dude started to court her. She fell for the guy even against all advice and cheated on her boyfriend, and years later that decision backfired, the older dude scammed her, he had a wife and kids and was on some risky business.
What does friendship mean to you?
It means loyalness, honesty, and respect. It means acceptance also, a full package, the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's not very different really than any other type of relationship, it all is based on what I just said. A friend must be able to say the truth to my face as well as accept when is my turn to give it. Is knowing that not all the time we'll be inseparable, but believing that the bond is strong enough that when we need each other we'll be there no matter what. It's love and care, at least for me
Yo ya he, Finito!
I'm still drained but I feel better now. If any of you want to do this, please, pick your questions Here and Have Fun!

It is as you describe that I see friendship. Friends are to be there for each other at all times, through thick and thin.
