birthday girl~

I'm turning 19 today. Not just me, my brother too. Yes I have a twin. There's still no cure for common birthday.

Today's weather is super duper fit for getting cozy in bed for a full night sleep. But what the hell. I can't sleep, besides I have to study for UGH exam. WHY GOD WHY? WHY ON MY BIRTHDAY?

But I decided today, I mean from tonight to the end of the day, I'm gonna do what makes my soul happy. If I want to sleep I'm gonna sleep. If I wanna dance like a fool, oh hell I sure will. Life is too short not to celebrate.

It never mattered, never actually, when someone forgot to wish me. But I don't know why it so mattered today, at this moment when I turned nineteen and my sis isn't here and didn't call me at 12. I feel like today is such different and of so many's to come. But of first of eighteen years that my sis isn't here with me. And it's okay. It's a part of growing up. It's a part of how the world really is. People come and go, in and out of your life, you just have to accept the way it is. You're not getting any younger anyway. 


Today, I have a lot to thank for. I mean, first up- THANK GOD I wasn't born on April Fools. Think people would prank me on my birthday, how cruel that'd be .Really. Not to mention this is the last stage of my teen years so I can't be thankful enough that I have survived it halfway now. A year after I will no more be a teen so CONGRATS to ME. 

future note:
Two years from now I wanna see myself as a successful, grown up woman who's sure of herself and who still have midnight sugar cravings. Who still doesn't know how to act her age. Who's still stubborn, hyper, sentimental and flawed. Accomplishments: I wanna see myself get admitted to public university. And perhaps a less insecure, less scared of cockroach, spiders and lizards. Not that I will be ever in a lifetime. I hope to see myself living my dream. Two years from now.

spring is almost here

Hi B,  Season is changing. The hard days are almost over.  The city I live in has turned so beautiful, I get overwhelmed by the beauty.  Tulips are in. Cherry blossoms are blossoming.  Magnolia, Beautiful white flowers, name unknown to me.  Taking a walk out feels like a celebration of life.  It feels like I'm falling in love with the city.  I remember when I first moved here 2 years ago, the excitement and the crippling anxiety of starting a new life from scratch. Now, after 2 years, I feel a warmth and love for the place.  I don't know if I would feel the same when the winter comes though. Seasonal depression is no joke.  My new mantra for life now is to chill.  Praise the nature and find pretty little corners in the city.  Write poems.  Paint, maybe.  Seek positivity.  Love. Be kind to self. No rush. Read books. Just flow.

long distance again

 I came back from my trip. It was amazing 2 weeks of my life. Seeing him again after so long felt strange yet peaceful. I finally got to be in his arms again. 2 weeks flew by and now I am back home and back to work and normal hustle and bustle of life.  He got an extension offer and decided to stay for another 3 months. It is sad because he was supposed to be back next month. He asked me if he should take it and despite having my heart aching I supported him in the decision. It is not confirmed yet but he probably be staying another 3. Another 5 months of long distance. How am I going to survive the winter by myself? I don't know. Honestly, in my heart, I don't care about how much compensation he be getting. I miss him so much and this long distance thing is killing me inside. Today is Friday night and instead of cuddles and movie, I am home alone. No plans to look forward. No one to talk to. I am the loneliest girl on earth right now. He is probably sleeping and not picking u...

winter together

 Dear B,  Sorry I've been so MIA. Here's the update you missed - My husband came back! He wasn't approved for those 3 months of extension. I've been getting enough cuddles and kisses to survive this winter.  Yes, winter is here. Never underestimate the Canadian winter. It's the worst. Everything is grey and dark. However, I am looking forward to going home in March. I'm so excited to see my friends again. Most importantly my parents and brother. It feels a strange kind of feeling. I am planning to 'visit' the place I was born and call home. It is definitely a new kind of feeling.  Things been okay. We are okay. I am glad to have him back.  We bought a new couch and a coffee table. It's still in back order and I'm impatiently waiting for them to arrive.  Can't believe only 4 days left to 2026. Time is flying so quick. Hope we talk again, B. I swear I missed you!
