Been

“If you play with fire, get ready to be burnt.”

I thought it was over.
But I guess I am still expecting something.
A miracle?

You know boy, how tempting it is to ask?
So tired of talking in coded language and figuring you out.
I just need to know where I stand.

They say ask and you shall know.
Never thought this is going to be so difficult.
I’m not ready. Not ready to say goodbye.

So messed up.
How long more can we preserve this status quo?

I need to know.

Time machine

So familiar.

The familiarity is making me cringe.

Almost lover

Love. Relationship. It makes you feeling weak and dependent.
It makes you lose self-control.
It makes you possessive and impulsive.
It brings you back to square one.

It does you no good.

So why do we still need love? relationship?

I need to stop. Until I find someone worth the troubles, the heartaches, the time, and the effort.

On a side note, I have a paper in less than 8 hours time and I can’t even get to sleep.

Another ordinary day.

Obligations. Disappointment. Expectations.

Maybe one should not expect too much on a birthday.
Time and time again, the idea of birthday has caused me more hurt than good.

Maybe I should just treat 15th Oct like any other random day.
It’ll save me many negative emotions.

Once again.

Another piece of evidence to show that maybe, you don’t really care.
It’s your daughter’s birthday and yet you have to such an asshole.

Thanks.
Luckily, I am sort of used to this already.
So shame on you.

Mirror mirror.

Seems like birds of the same feather flock together.
And probably similar attracts.

It is true that only the best gets the best?

Oh well.

Enough of envy game.

Hang in there.

“It’s like wearing socks that are too big for you. You feel the warmth but it’s just not the right feeling” (Lee, 2011).

 

This, is just a passing phase.
It will be over in time to come.
Endure.

Where are you?

All of these nonsense needs to get out of my system.

Confidence. Where are you?

Vivian lim, where are you? You’ve been missing for quite sometime.
Please return when you see this because I don’t think I can stand any longer without you.

 

Sincerely,
Me.

Another cold and incoherent night.

I am starting to hate cold nights.
Maybe the cold freeze my brain
And I engaged in too much (or lack of) rational thinking.

Envy is a a self-destruction tool.
Trying my best but there are times (and probably many of it) where I wish I was someone else.

Unhealthy.

“There is no greatest sin than not knowing yourself and being yourself” – J

Some day back a good friend of mine told me something meaningful.

“There’ll always be someone better than you. So there’s no point comparing. What’s important is that you try your best every single time.”

—————————————————————————————
On a separate note, I would want to end this post with this,
“Would you rather choose to be loved or love someone?”

Who am I?

The stormy and cold night makes me wanna write again.

It’s night like this when you reflect and wish that life was easier.

A school of dream, success, and prestige.
A place where many people aim to go.
A place filled with praise and compliments when mentioned.
A school that elicit envious remarks.

I have done it, made it, achieved it.
But sometimes I ask myself.
Am I really….. happy?
And there are times when I go..
What am I doing? Is this what.. I want? 

Ironic that I am thinking twice about an option that people (maybe me even, before being here) would die for.
Ironic that what you want is not what you get.
That’s just life.

I have no courage to be different.
Although I sometimes desperately want to be a non-conformist.
There’s too much at stake.
I want to feel alive in this place.
I want to feel happy and meaningful again.

———————————————————————————————————-
On such a night where the it’s cold and comfortable,
Don’t you just wish to snuggle beside someone?

Sometimes solitude creeps in.
So badly that I want to scream.
But I hide the fears away,
because good things don’t come in a day.

“You got to learn to be happy on your own” 

There are a lot of setbacks. It’s really not easy.
But I must and I will continue to press hard on this journey of self-growth and self-discovery.
