It was supposed to numb the pain.
It was supposed to make me forget.
Who would've thought that heartbreak can cause actual physical pain? A single chord of a song can trigger such strong emotions that I had so bravely tried to bury. You have to understand that this is not easy for me. Being so attached with your loving family and your enigmatic self and the very idea of a forever and ever with you. I must still be in denial.
I miss you still.
PS - I hope your grandmother gets better. She asked us if we were next, remember? But then, I guess not..

You are by far my favourite way to bleed
I re-read the March 21 entry I wrote four years ago. FOUR. Uncanny. It's like I never learn.
I did some research on interpersonal communication theories and found an article about why people always make the same mistakes. Apparently people have largely unconscious preconceptions that guide our romantic choices and it is only by becoming aware of the kind of story we have about love that we gain the freedom to create more fulfilling and lasting relationships. As long as we remain oblivious to the role our stories play, we are likely to repeat the same mistakes again and again. However, it also states that though our stories drive us, we can revise them and learn to love the partners whose stories are compatible with our own.
Then I found another article that says denial in our ability to change breeds self-defeating behaviours making it part of who you are: inescapable, inevitable and stereotypical.
[http://www.slowleadership.org/blog/2009/02/why-do-we-keep-making-the-same-mistakes/]
Reflecting back, I think I have come a long way from simply whining about my problems. Today, I'm mature enough to realize that no problem is unsolvable, no mistake unfixable. Today, I can give myself time to identify the obstacle that was in the way in allowing me (and my relationships) to grow. I can take a step back and think about what I want, what I need and what's important.
I think it is only in realizing that people are not infallible but have the immense capacity to change. And I am testament of that.
The previous relationship I had broke apart because we failed to
nurture, encourage and appreciate it. We let our stories go their own
ways instead of writing them together. We let the passion fizzle out
with the lack of care and the lack of time.
Now, realizing that I have to change to be a better person and a better partner, I might be ready to take the next step towards a happier and more fulfilling life.
I just hope, from the bottom of my heart, that he sees this determination I have to resolve, learn and love.
Maybe if he does, he will be willing to take those steps with me.

Fading..
I can't write you down and put you on this page, no matter how hard I try
I can't find the words to explain you, to say who you really are
Time and time again I sit down to write of you, but I can never find the words
If I put you down on paper, will you lose your meaning to me, will you become less to me
The great fear is that you already have
Memories fade much too quickly, no matter how hard you try they still fade
Your smile, the way you hold me, your laugh,
The way you walk, your voice, the way you look at me
They're all fading from my mind no matter how hard I try
All that's left is the empty spot where you used to be in my memory
How could I forget you? Maybe not all of you, just the little things
Come back, rest here, fill your spot in my memory
Why couldn't we stay the way we were, why did the world have to get in the way
I can't write you down and put you on this page, no matter how hard I try
Come home to me, come play in my memory
You Don't See Me-Josie and the Pussycats
This is the place where I sit
This is the part where I part where I love you too much
Is this as hard as it gets?
Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough.
I'm here if you want me.
I'm yours, you can hold me.
I'm empty and achin'
And tumblin' and breakin'.
I dream a world where you understand
That I dream a million sleepless nights.
I dream of fire when you're touching my hand,
But it twists into smoke when I turn on the lights.
I'm speechless and faded.
It's too complicated.
Is this how the book ends,
Nothin' but good friends?
This is the place in my heart.
This is the place where I'm falling apart.
Isn't this just where we met?
And is this the last chance that I'll ever get?
I wish I was lonely.
Instead of just only
Crystal and see-through
And not enough to you.
Cause you don't see me.
And you don't need me.
And you don't love me.
The way I wish you would.
The way I know you could.

.. our lips first met
.. I realized that this feeling just wouldn't stop growing
.. the future stopped looking so scary now I have you
.. you told me about a flying licence ;P
.. you talked to my mum
.. I just melt (when I'm in your arms, when you start sweet talking, when you kiss my nose.. or my forehead.. or my cheek, when you apologize..)
.. we stayed out that whole night in Brisbane.. just the two of us, holding hands.. just talking..
.. I noticed my heart actually answers to your call (it does, baby)
.. I fell in love with the OC.. and Never Gone..
.. I inhaled and smelled you..
.. I woke up the middle of the night to see you dialing your room number, half-asleep, to look for me, without knowing I was on the bed next to yours
.. you promptly fell asleep right after I was back in your arms
.. you get frustrated when you can't fix the problem
.. my soul feels sad just because you are
.. my heart found a home
.. I finally feel complete
I think I've found you.
I love you.

Hey what do you think of me now
Am I not like I once were
Still if you dont know me
What's the story of this pen
I guess you're not a stranger
And I can tell you're not a friend
It might take a while but, I guess I'll manage waiting till then.
Then when you confront me with your thought.
You may think I don't notice, don't get a bit hurt by what you do
I ask you to please think of
What I've done to you.
Please search inside and let me know
If I've done something wrong I guess I'll go
Far hidden
Never to be found
Just let me know, then I'll go
Then I'll go ...
I guess its back to being alone.
It hasn't hit me yet.
I guess there's just too much on my mind right now..
But once it does..
Oh God.

When a GIRL is quiet,
Millions of things are running through her mind.
When a GIRL is not arguing,
She is thinking deeply.
When a GIRL looks at you with eyes full of questions,
She is wondering how long you will be around.
When a GIRL answers "I'm fine" after a few seconds,
She is not at all fine.
When a GIRL stares at you,
She is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL lays on your chest,
She is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a GIRL calls you everyday,
She is seeking for your attention.
When a GIRL wants to see you everyday,
She wants to be pampered.
When a GIRL says "I love you",
She means it.
When a GIRL says that she can't live without you,
She has made up her mind that you are her future. too corny *pukes* hehe
When a GIRL says "I miss you",
No one in this world can miss you more than that.

My hands are grip either side of the sink.. holding on as if I'd collapse if I let go.. Red, overdrawn eyes stared back at me with malice. And confusion. With what I'd just done. Fingers curled into angry fists but my empty stomach just wouldn't give in. My head felt heavy. My whole body felt heavy. The empty toilet echoed with the drip drip drip of the sink. The sound was hurting my head. But my heart was hurting even more.
The first and last. Never again.
Kids, don't do drugs.

I blocked everyone.
He was online and I could've run to him. He could've been the one to hear me pour my heart out. He'd be more than happy to. But I didn't. It didn't feel right.
I hold my pillow, Fat's pillow actually, wishing it was you.
You'd run your fingers through my hair with my head in your lap. The tears would dry up and your voice would tell me it's going to be okay.. That you're here, and you're going to make this work.. That you're not going to leave me.. Not now..
I'm losing you. I don't know what to do.
I don't get it. Yesterday you said told me you love me. Today..
I'm trying not to call. I put the phone down before it could even ring. I dont know where to run. You probably think I don't care. Then why are my cheeks wet with tears? Why am I sitting here not knowing what to do? Numb. Used to this pain. Used to it. I've felt enough of it in the past to recognize the familiar feeling of solidarity and confusion and insecurity.
This isn't even about you. It's about me.
I need to go. I don't know what to do. This doesn't feel right. I've no energy for this. I'm tired of this. Relationships are trouble. It was easier being by myself.
and never feel the same happiness
Go away.

I just checked the past postings and just saw the comments that random jerk posted up.
Maybe its true =(
Not the flirt part cos when it comes to relationships, you can't find anyone more loyal than I am. I know the rules by heart, and I play by them unlike any other.
Who is that other "someone"? Maybe I'm just being paranoid.. But I know how it feels to call and the phone is engaged. I know how much it hurts when you keep checking back again and again but he's still talking to that other girl. I know how it feels to be blindly cheated on and being constantly lied to..
But I trust him. This time, I do. Because there never has been a reason not to.
Yet, it still frustrates me that I cannot be the first. God, this is so trivial!! But it's as though she beat me to it. I feel so small..
One day he'll start questioning. And that would be the day I chain my battered heart into my chest and never ever give it away.
-Random ramblings of an insecure-
That girl with stars in her eyes. She believes. And she trusts. But for all that it's worth, her hopes and her dreams written down on that shiny card littered with stardust, are brutally dashed. Black ink slashed across the page cancelling the neat writing one by one. There is no such thing as forever. Love doesn't exist..
So on a whim..
I try to run from myself,
but the distance to run is too great
I try to hide from myself,
but wherever I turn it's myself that I face
So I fall,
aware of myself
and I stay,
full of disgust at my own existence
How can I accept myself,
when people all around me judge me
by the impossible standards that surround me
