I feel like this year has been eventful...
First I found out that my brother is schizophrenic. It came as a shock. But I got used to it. A lot tears shed, depression, denial, silent sufferings then slowly surrendering to acceptance, I've come a long way. And seeing him going to classes, and doing the usual stuffs like eating, praying, studying actually gave me a relief, he is a lot normal now, although he still hears things, he manages to ignore it and live his life. I am grateful for that. I accepted the way he is now. And there's never been a time, I wasn't proud. He is a lot stronger than I am.

The highlight of this year would be that we moved to our new apartment. To a completely different area. And so far, I have no such complains. I don't miss my old home, or any of my aunt's ongoing tantrums....

Two of my senior cousins are getting married this year and maybe leaving the country. That is a huge deal in our family. So we are actually getting older and growing apart. This is I don't know, a bit exciting and scary. I wonder where I am at; in the line.

My sister is also moving next year to Canada. She is taking preparations. With my niece being gone with her and her husband, I don't know what I will look forward to anymore in future, for my niece is the bundle of joy in my depressing days....I am gonna miss her. And my mother already cries her eyes out thinking about them being gone. What will happen at the airport, I don't know....


Yet here I am. I didn't end up with good grades. Okay still there are chances, this year hasn't been over. But I just kind of, lowered my expectations with myself.

This year, I cried more than I thought I ever could...I cried a river you could say. I cut myself once. I don't know for what, the pain became bigger than my existence, and I just felt like slicing some skin. Okay it wasn't a biggie, I just ended up with minor scratch marks on my wrists which screamed for attention and it did get some. One of my friends noticed it and ironically that made me realize how stupid I was to do such thing.It was an impulsive act and I am over it.

I learned that you cannot force friendship. All you can do is be yourself around them and let them deal with you. That's all I am basically doing and I have no frustrations whatsoever, I mean at the present time.

I also learned how certain people can appear attractive and it is okay to get attracted. There is no harm in swooning a little. It gives life a bit passion. Inspiration...Having a crush, okay, that not be right, having a strong feeling about someone isn't bad. At least you have something to give out to. It is okay to feel affectionate toward someone, in my age, it is completely logical, given that I have hormones that rage in certain circumstances...SO I guess. It is okay. It doesn't make me a creepy weepy person if I over-analyze things with him. I like him and it is okay.

What's still not okay is.
This year, I have cried too much. I wasted an awful lot of time being unhappy.
I don't deserve that.

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!
