Day 71

Last night I had a mental breakdown. I kept thinking back all the good memories this year, and it traced back to him. We don't talk anymore. Like the old times. And after wallowing and soaking my face with tears, I realized, I am such a micro portion of his life. I stalked his instagram like a textbook, I occasionally do that. It makes me feel more insecure, because he got a lot of going on for himself. And the pictures he likes of girls, they look so perfect, with their bodies and with their fancy backgrounds. And here I am. Such a mess.

I know perfect is an illusion. And I know, I have said, we will meet again after lock down but I am not so sure anymore. The idea of us is fading. He probably sees us as some fling that has flung by now. And he probably will not miss me. Because this is normal for him. He has done it before. And he will do it again, with someone else. Or he will find someone to be in a serious relationship with. And that's just not with me.

You know, realizing this, has pained me more than all the other subordinating facts. When I try distracting my mind with other guys on my DM, he is still sneaking up in my mind with all the moments I had with him. Some were great and some were super hurtful to my ego. I am so insecure about my body and he had many times, made it sure I knew I am not beautiful or sexy. I feel like I am not enough. Before him, I knew I was enough to be loved, adored, cherished. Now I am not so sure.

My logical self, screams of letting him go. And I have let him go, on paper, I have. I don't demand him calling me anymore. I don't tell him I need you anymore. I don't text when he is online. But I haven't let him go truly because, under the brave face I put on, I am still waiting on him. To call me. To text. And probably after the lock down, I would expect to meet him again. And who knows. He would probably say he is busy or something and I don't know if I am ready to take rejection from him. To actually make up my mind, he is gone. He is never going to be the special someone. He is never going to be his old self again, who was trying hard to make an impression. He figured me out. He doesn't want me anymore.

I will be okay. I just need to stop holding on to things. These are not going to be my last good memories with a man. Someday, someone will come and sweep me off my feet. And  I don't have to worry about being resented the next day or any day.

You know what they say- Love should be easy as breathing. You should feel great, most part of it.
I am waiting for such love. I am waiting for such man.

I will be okay. I just need more time for accepting and forgiving and forgetting.

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!
