hello friends, i am raj and presently I am out of country for my work,When I was in India we friends use to have a bash for the new year and we enjoyed like its the last day of life.But now as I am away from them, it makes me realize how special they are to me and what's their place in my life. Why is it so that you only realize the value of someone when they are not with you..? How can you fill that emptiness in your heart which you already know it can't be. I dont know weather any of you guys have gone through this ..but would like to ask you what would you do if you are in my situation ..?

I am already in that situation even worse than that... I just accept it and try to make myself busy to not think that much and I pray and leave it for God. that is the only way for me to continue and have patience..

oh dear :( that's sad to know.Well I wish I could help you in some or the other way,but unfortunately we don't know anything about each other. The way you write makes me feel you are going through a very rough phase of your life,as if you have lost all your hope and given up to fight.Why do you think everything is over and you don't have choices.There are always choices for everyone,the only thing needed is guts and confidence. I've been reading your post since a while,you seems to be very sad inside though your name says extreme fun..! Well life is fun,unless you share happy and sad moments with people you like.If you don't like someone,doesn't mean there is no one to be friend with,Isn't it.So don't worry and cheer up,For life is full of surprises and fun,you just have to search for it.. Enjoy life Raj

hello there, thanks for the support and understanding my situation.its really tough for good friends to be away from each other.When you are in a different country,different culture and different people then it makes you remember your friends and family the most.And now the only thing i can do is to remember those old days of fun and smile alone. thanks.

Hello raj I lived abroad for 6 months. In another continent. I missed so much my friends and my family, but I tried to profit each minute in other country. When I was feeling alone, I wrote my friends and family (because there wasn´t internet 20 years ago). I enjoyed reading, visiting parks and museums. If you think in your friends and the distance between you, you can feel very sad. Avoid negative feelings and instead try to change it with positive thoughts and activities. Blessings raj... dainy

hello mam, its really an honor for me to get this nice and pleasant reply from you.I believe you have gone through this phase,may be you have missed your friends and family a lot as i can imagine. Fortunately we have net and cell phones ,so atleast we can interact with our loved ones,but during those day,one cannot imagine how you must be feeling when you were away from home. I am not a guy who takes things negatively,but at times when you feel that for small things there are frens who scold you help you,your family who takes care of you,no matter how grownup you are.As a matter of fact , i've stayed away from my family since childhood,but i was in the same country (india),but now its different.Now i am in a different country,so its hard to stay away. Anyways would love to interact with you a lot.would be honored if you could be my net buddy...would you pls.. ?

This is so true, most especially when some people that are close to you will be going to another place like living in a different place, and then you will suddenly realize that life is quite empty without that person. Sometimes we can’t pretty much appreciate them because they are much attached with you and you think of being dependent on them that in a way you have put them in least importance, but then you get to realize that once they aren’t with you, that are the time that you think twice and regret on not appreciating them. What one should do is make thank you in all the little things they make to you, that in a way they feel that they are valued in your life, and make the most of it while they are still with your company, because you never know when and how such people will vanished in your life.
