don't you dare look back, just keep your eyes on me, I said you're holding back, he said shut up and dance with me.
So, 2015's ending. It's been a bittersweet year, filled with plenty of discoveries and laughter.
Let's start from the top.
I moved 5675miles away from home.
Honestly, I started the year rough. Hoping that whatever that I was going through was about to end while I was here. Basically, my mom and dad are both unfaithful people and they aren't the best parents. If you have known me long enough, I always had a dream to study abroad, simply because I hated the education system in Singapore and I hated how I was viewed as the kid that might have never went into university, so I wanted to prove everyone I knew wrong. And here I am today.
First of all, I met an amazing guy last year, he inspired me to be so much more than I am. He taught me how to be a better person and showed me that I was able to be more that what I perceived myself to be. I didn't know if my relationship was gonna work out with him last year, honestly. I was just foolishly in love with this guy that was treating me really well even though I felt like I didn't deserve all of that. Through the end of the year, he got in university - we were parting ways. A part of me didn't believe my relationship would have worked because I knew I would have needed him next to me, physically. I needed him because I was mentally breaking down when my family was turning into dust right infront of my eyes. I needed my escape route, and going to Melbourne was a definite no from my parents because I was the only daughter and safety was key to my parents even if they were both messed up, so they felt safe only if I had someone looking out for me.... so a chance to study abroad + not going through ldr + escape route: it felt like one of the best decisions of my life.
But sometimes, I feel like this decision that I made was one of the most selfish thing that I have decided, because I left my two younger brother alone in that mess, especially Sean.
Months went by, and through it all - i realized that being by yourself makes you learn so much about yourself. I finally figured what I want in my relationship, what I want in my life, and how I want things to be done. I figured what type of person I was, and you learn to become you because there's no one else to follow or impress. I get to be myself and I finally get to breath.
I realized that I am not as independent as I think I am. I am very emotional. I get hurt very easily just because I'm very sensitive to things that people say. I say sorry even if I feel like I'm not in the wrong. I give in and suck it up to people I care about. I forgive people but I may never treat them the same. I believe that having no intention to hurt is not true. I think that secrets kills relationships. I hold some of my beliefs strongly because my parents have shown me alot. I realized that I'm not as simple as I think I am. I believe that I'm very spoiled and I like being pampered once in awhile.
And the list goes on.
But hey, i stepped out of my comfort zone this year and I'm proud of myself. For those who said I could never live without my parents, I did it. I managed to cook my own food, wash the toilet, vacuum the floor, wash the dishes, do the laundry, fold the clothes, pack the house, do my own groceries. I'm not that spoiled..... to a certain extend. But one big take away, I don't need to prove myself to anyone or to make anyone proud of me, because so long as I know I did it, I'm contented. I know that from other people's eyes, I may always be the little girl, the emotional wrack, the timid one, or even the princess; but I know I did what I never thought I was able to do 5 year ago, or even 1 year ago. I'm doing things that I may have never thought possible.
yes, there were days where I could feel like shit, I felt like things were tough and life was just crap and I could quit university and go find some job that pleases me. On the other hand, I have parents and family to worry about. Living here isn't all that fun when your home is all broken and you have more to worry about. Sometimes, it gets scary, it gets really tough and I do always break down. There is no one time where I don't throw my phone onto the ground or cry after having a conversation with my parents. Afterall, they are the one supporting me through university, and they brought me up. Even though one or the other has done wrong, I can't possibly leave any. I can't pick sides even though they are wrong. I love them both even though there are days that makes me hate them so much. Maybe I do, I just hate their actions. I can honestly say I'm scared to go back home. I'm scared to get pulled into all that drama. I wouldn't know what to do because it feels really scary. People can giving me millions of solutions but that's not what I need, because you won't ever understand what I've been through in the years, and you can't tell me you know how it feels because you know nothing at all. I've always wanted my family to be important to me but it feels like one of the hardest thing to keep close to my heart because it feels like a knife stabbing through when you constantly pull it closer and closer.
this is the part where I thank B, thank you for being by my side through this year, for taking me to the hospital, or having sleepless nights whenever I fall sick and calming me down when I have a panic attack. Thank you for being there for me even though you think that relationships are non reciprocal. I'm happy. I've been a very happy girl since the day I met you, and I'm really glad that you've been holding on to me till today. This year was definitely hard, where we realized that we may have wanted different things, but I'm thankful we pulled through those days. I'm thankful that you tolerated with me and been with me since. Even though there are days that I feel like maybe I should strangle you and I have every right to be angry, somehow you always... perk me up all over again whenever you make me mad.
I'm happy, yet.... well, bittersweet.
thank you 2015.

state of.....
I'm not mad. Maybe I am beyond mad.
I don't really know what to feel.
I feel lost. I feel unsettled.
I feel like I just ripped the tangibility of trust out of myself.
I say I forgive you, and I do sincerely want to do that. Maybe I just need alittle bit of time, to process what happened and how it all happened.
I hated that all this happened. and I summed it in my head, maybe the only reason why it hurts so much is because I been lied to my entire life, I have relationships that I seen broken down because of lies. I have clear view of my parents lying and see how something gets broken down. I know what lying feels like. And to answer you, I have never ever looked you into the eye and lied to you. If you figured the truth I admit it. But......... hey you didn't. I don't care why you did it, I don't care what the lie was about. I don't fucking care who the best interest was. I care that you lied, you lied to my face.
And I honestly hate you for that, cause you really hurt me this time round. One thing I never thought you would have done because you claimed it was in 'your values'. i can't look you in the face and tell you, I will not doubt anything you say to be ever again. Because fact is, I will doubt. I will think that there might be a possibility that you have the ability to do so. Because hey, you managed to do it, and I congratulate you for having me to believe whatever you said. I know the lie was not big of a deal. But. This is what you capable of.
Maybe I am naive, gullible and stupid. But I do know what it feels like to hurt. And this time, I don't know how to look at you and tell you I would look past this. I don't know how to not cry thinking about it. I feel like utter shit. I feel like crap that you did this. Honestly, I am disappointed in you, and I am even more disappointed in myself for believing that you would never have done this.

detox
Writing to me - is like a sense of detox. I need to get it out of my soul. it clings onto my soul, filled with hatred and disgust. I have two people in this world that I hate - someone that stabs you in the back and someone that looks in you the eye lies to you.
I did an essay about lying in a psychological paper once, figuring if lying was good or bad, whether it was healthy or not. And no, I am not gonna make a big deal of whether my bf did lie to me ever or not. I admit, I been lied to countless of times, I been stabbed in the back for being a bitch so much that I can't even count with my fingers. I haven't been the nicest girl, but I try to be.
you cross my line, i swear, you would pay.
so, i don't care if this goes public or not, but here goes: i had a fucking a friend. i never liked his character, i thought he was the sort of person that needed alittle filtering in his mind before he talked. I felt like he hurt people unintentionally because he didn't know what was crossing the line. His jokes, were the worst, he made things sound so real they could have actually made doubts in your mind and felt a tinge of hatred here and there. Soon, I realized I wasn't the only one that felt like his words were nasty, I felt like he only thought about himself and not others. I felt like, he looked out for himself and saw interest only for himself. pratically, i thought he was fucking self-centered and I never liked him since.
oh btw, I am that girl that is nice to you, but if you cross a single line, I would put you in a state of hell.
see, I was nice. I tried to be. come on, he was my boyfriend's friend, close friend rather - utterly, extremely, really, close. I couldn't do anything. I hated him but i had to like him. At first, it wasn't pretend, I did sincerely treat him as a friend, but when I started suspecting something was up, my instinct told me he was the first to point my fingers to.
Come on, I have the right to be angry here.
I never, ever, fought with my boyfriend over trust. I know when b hides something from me, or when he is lying, Firstly, my boyfriend never, ever, shuns his phone away from me, and when I saw your name was the one who popped up, first instinct - something was up with you. I didn't ask, to the point where I realized he wasn't just hiding your name, he was hiding his financials from me. That was the breaking point, where he started shunning his phone away form me whenever I peeped through. That was not okay. My boyfriend never hid anything from me and it was not okay that he was doing so. Thus, I forced the truth out of him, I tried to investigate in my own head was was going on and summed up the things that he was doing and made a conclusion out of it. I knew what was up, and I confronted b about it. I demanded for the truth, but when he said I was over-reacting, and when we fought, he acted like it was non of my concern. Fair enough, none of my concern? for goodness sake, i am your fucking girlfriend, what can be non of my concern when it does concern you. I mean, who hides things from their girlfriends. Fine, you had your reasons b, i dropped matters. But when I asked the last time, and asked for the truth with you looking into my eye. You said none of my speculations were true. And I gave in, I said Okay and I gave up pursuing it.
Today.
I found out every single truth and honestly. I am mad at you, B. how you are so fucking capable of lying to me, even when you looked into my eyes. It's not a matter of what the lie was about this time. or why you lied. but the point is, you could look into my eyes and tell me you did not do it. You lied straight to my face and I could tell you a million times how much it hurts when someone lies to you.
I have every right to be mad, for the fact that you lied.
but here's the thing that makes me wanna kill your friend, the thing that wants to make me hate your friend so much.
dear xx,
he fucking lied to me to protect you. protect you from me knowing the truth about you. I don't know why my boyfriend said 'knowing me' i would have gave you faces and weird looks. if that reason was legit, if there was some problem somewhere on your side, then why would have gave looks. It's embarassing to get help from someone? fair enough, but why, why ask him to ensure that I would never know. Isn't it more embarrassing that you made us have a week of endless fight and speculations. I was filled with insecurities for two fucking weeks because I didn't know what my boyfriend was hiding from me. and now i find out that it was all because of you. That's not it you know, you fucking lied to my boyfriend, you gave him a shit reason to help you out, and I couldn't know he helped you out? wow, what's more fucked up about you. I don't know what to feel because I can't stand the way you have hurt b, but I can't even stand the fact that you taught him to not tell me the truth because what, protecting your identity than me feeling insecure? what the fuck is wrong with you. i don't even know what to say to you. I feel ashamed to even know you, i don't know who else was cahoots in this shit. but, you? lying to your fucking girlfriend as well? what is wrong with you. if you had the guts to do it, why not admit it. if you genuinely needed help, seek some rather than lying about your fucking problem and seeking all the help out from pity from a secondary source. I hate you so much. I fucking hate you. I'm filled with utter hatred because of you. I hate how you made b believe your fucking story for some sort of help. I hate how you told him to not tell me what was going on.
i can't believe i ever regarded you as a friend and tried to even look the other way just because you and b are close, i can't believe you're such a sucker and such an asshole. you know what, you literally taught me that some people are not who they perceive to be. they are fucking monsters, genius monsters infact, much disguise, much disgust. you are a fucked up person and I sincerely wish, i have nothing to do with you ever again.
you know what, it hurts being lied to. It hurts even more to know that the person that lied to you was someone that would have never done it. someone that was so dear to you. but it hurts even more knowing that what was being lied about, was lied to as well. i honestly don't know what to feel, the funny thing is, i don't feel so much towards b, maybe because I do understand his situation, but it just sucks knowing that you were capable of looking me in the eye and still lie to me.
I did an essay about lying in a psychological paper once, figuring if lying was good or bad, whether it was healthy or not. And no, I am not gonna make a big deal of whether my bf did lie to me ever or not. I admit, I been lied to countless of times, I been stabbed in the back for being a bitch so much that I can't even count with my fingers. I haven't been the nicest girl, but I try to be.
