I have this friend who’s the typical happy-go-lucky character in every high school story and the one who’s always smiling in the face of adversity. She takes things one at a time and almost never cracks under pressure. She’s the kind of person who’s, more often than not, getting picked on by others because she almost never retorts whatever that others throw at her.
Work wise, she’s not to say the most well organized person you’ll ever meet. She’s that bit lazy and also that bit clumsy so you can’t really expect her to give you her all in any given piece of work. She almost never does. It’s rare for us to see her doing something seriously, which is also one of the reasons why nobody takes her seriously. To us, she’s such a joker that we’ll think she’s joking when she’s being dead serious.
She hates the fact that others seem to see her as somebody that’s dependable because in reality, she isn’t. She wants to depend on others just as much as the next guy but it rarely happens; which is why she sort of hates to be leaders for anything. She knows she’s not the most dependable person on earth and neither is she a very well organized one and she doesn’t want to cause trouble to us if she were to be a bad leader.
The reason why she doesn’t like to lead is because she doesn’t want to disappoint us. To her, seeing our disappointed faces is a nightmare. She’s a forgiving person but she’s not sure about the rest of us. Will we forgive her for her mistakes and for what she had lacked in leading us? Of course we will but she doesn’t believe us.
Everybody has this sort of friend, don’t we? It’s just the matter of how we adjust to them and how they adjust to us that makes the difference between a long lasting friendship and also one that is a temporary as everything else on this earth.
