Have you seen the latest remake of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte? The trailer is just so moving and touching that it brought tears to my eyes. The young Jane Eyre and her punishing routines in the orphange and the most captivating friendship of a girl simply send chills down my spine.
I remember my first days at school when there was no one I knew... and suddenly these sympathetic eyes caught my sight and from then I knew she was going to be my friend. The same happened when I went to secondary school, college and university where I was constantly searching for someone to be my friend... It was as if I had to be part of two people and this longing has stayed with me all my life.
I guess we all need friends and we usually find them, naturally and by chance. I am talking about bosom friends who stay with you from the day you meet them, through thick and thin. One does not need many bosom buddies but definitely one who will listen and be there regardless and especially when you are in the wrong!
The Chinese have a saying, 'The true friend brings coal in the coldest of winters'.
