That's what I am afraid of. That is the only thing that scares me to death. Not being able to make you happy. Make you proud. Make you see, what I've been trying to do my whole life. Just for you two. You don't see it. You don't have faith in me. When I need it the most, the faith of yours because I trust myself very little. And I want you to see, that I've been trying not to fail you. Your expectations mostly.They never die. Sometimes you have too much of it, sometimes too low. But they never die.You overstate me or you just understate me. Oh it's so very-painful.
And it scares the hell outta me. It gives me shivers. It makes me crave for sobs middle of the night. To think that my life's a waste if you two don't understand me. I'm here now, I am right here and you still haven't understood me yet.It's tiring, sad and terrifying. Because I'd be gone someday, and when the time comes, you still wouldn't. I'd not exist and you still wouldn't...know me. That's one scary thing.
And I believe, I know, I know pretty damn well what you attempt to do. You want me to have the best life. The life that you couldn't make happen. The life that you always cherished and wanted. I get that. But it's not what I want. It's not how I want it. I don't want it to be best to be wonderful. I just want it to be spendable. I just want some moments from life that I would happily remember for a lifetime. Clearly, mine doesn't go with your definition. And it's okay because you weren't supposed to defy my life, or how I want to lead it. You were just supposed be with me, through this. Through the journeys I take. Or just not. It's up to you. All I want to say is that, as soon as you understand, as soon as you leave me as humble as I am, it would start working out. It would start working out for me and you. And I wouldn't be scared at all. Knowing that I am not owned to anyone, I can do whatever, I can hurt myself, I can break myself, I can build myself.
I didn't want to be assisted, but you claimed it anyway. You again, set up an expectation, set up a goal for me to reach which I don't even know if I want to. It's like give and take and the guiltiness after that I might have nothing to give back in return. Surprisingly all this, is for me, for my life and all I could think about is that how to make you proud, how to make you happy. Because you made it all seem like so different from what I would actually predict for myself. You made it seem like it only serves me a purpose when it does you. You made it seem like something everybody hankers after to, something not unique at all but popular. And you made it seem like it's life's achievement, an opportunity not to miss. You made it seem like so important rather than of me, of who I am and what I want.
  
You can't make everybody happy. You can save off some miseries tho. And that's what I am gonna try to do. Save you off some miseries.

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!
