Friendship is literally a ship (as its name suggests) that sails on the sea. A colourful and cute-looking ship, just like what I've just drawn:
Once you board this ship, you would find that life is more interesting as you get to hang out with your friends and do all the crazy things that you've never thought of doing. You get to share your worries with your friends, and often you would ask them for advice or possible solutions to solving your problems. Other than that, you and your friends would go shopping together, exercise together, eat together and just have fun together.
However, many of us understand that the situation can change at any time, such that the friendship is "broken" somehow, and that's when some of us would feel upset and find that we have got no one to turn to. Possible issues that have led to this would be disagreements, different opinions and etc. When these issues arise, the ship that you have boarded would most probably be traveling across the sea of huge waves. Huge huge waves which makes you unable to stand properly while on the ship. So, how do we deal with it?
The very first thing you should do is to stay calm and don't try to upset your friends by saying nasty stuff (whether it's in their face or not). Perhaps you can try to go for a nap, or go to bed if it's almost time. It is quite useful as you would have a clearer view of things once you have sufficient rest. After that, think about what went wrong. Remember, you must not have biased views, otherwise you would never be able to figure out what exactly went wrong and who is/are responsible for it. Once you are done with it, proceed to the next step, APOLOGISE.
In this way, you will be able to maintain a good relationship with your friends and that be rest assured, the ship will sail smoothly on the calm sea.
