"I want what she has":
I sometimes wonder, since when I started to take that as my mission statement. Success stories and love stories are my secret enemies, they snatch away even the littlest bit of happiness I have left in me.
I want to be happy for her, but I know some part of me is insecure and jealous and full of ugly feelings.

Everybody has different journeys and self growth. But when she makes it look so easy, I wonder why can't I? Why can't I be focused and successful woman? Why can't I get the man of my dreams? Why can't I be everyone's favorite?
I know how childish I sound. I know how stupid it is to want something that sort. My post depression is purely based on "Look at all the other women. They're so put together. Why am I such a mess."

I always thought there was a lacking in me that cannot be fixed. I always thought if I was being loved the right way the right time, I would turn out to be a complete person. A person with a super excellent story.

When she says how happy she is in love with him, I want to feel it as well. The feeling is so alien to me, but I fancied this feeling since I read books on it, since I watched on movies, since I heard stories from real people. I feel such a dark heavy feeling, looking at myself. I feel so lonely sometimes it is unbearable. I drove people away because I am at my worst, I am at my pitfall. I can't be loved. I can't be held. I am broken before I am even trying anything anymore.

This is about love and friendship. I never had a friend who would deeply understand me. I never let anyone in. I always faced difficulty in opening up to people. And I am so vulnerable sometimes, I'm even scared at how ugly my emotions can be. I feel like nobody can ever love me. And I would die just like that, without anyone appreciating my existence. I have such few achievements in life, I almost wanna cave.

Why is 22 such a difficult age?

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!
