The more I am putting myself out there the more I am getting scared of getting hurt. Guess I can't be too careful. But there's a pattern of men I went out with. And no matter how much I do not want to overthink, I do end up analyzing their behavior and become anxious of myself. 

I feel vulnerable when I get close with someone or share my feelings. Once my thoughts and insecurities are out there...I feel stupid and powerless to that someone. Suddenly, they become my priority and I choose to let them hurt me and say it's okay. Have your way with me. I don't let them feel  a thing. It's like I become this comfortable couch they can sit on, spill drinks, do whatever they please. It almost feels like I don't have ground under my feet.

 Thanks to all the self help knowledge I gained through books, I know now, it is not okay to let people treat you less. It is not okay to let them turn your kindness into their advantage. You are not a toy for them to feel entertained. You are as much as in this as they are. So, own yourself.

You see, in my head, I know I am not supposed to take bullshit from people. But in reality, I take it. Tell myself I am undeserving of love and care. I guess from the very early stage of my childhood, I had it imprinted in my head that I have to make room for other people in my life, I am just a place for them to confide in. I am supposed to be quiet and silenced when loud.

I am facing problems every time I am getting close with someone. I fear they will leave me, I will be taken for granted, I will be hurt. Every time they show slightest change of voice, I start getting all teary. I say to myself "Maybe this is it, they are bored of me. They figured me out. I am nothing exciting."

The truth is, you attract what you think. I think all the bad things even before letting good things happen to me. I let my toxic thoughts cloud my nicer judgments. 
You can't force anyone to love you. And you don't have to be perfect to be loved. You don't have to be the giver every time. You don't have to be the compromiser for a relationship to sail. What will work will work by itself. You are here to be felt. To be heard. To be loved and cared for.

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!
