Skating on thin ice

Sharing personal past stories...
Sharing what really bothers me...
Sharing my fear and insecurities...
Terrified I would scare you away...
We are skating on really thin ice...

I cant help how I feel and continuously tell myself to be careful and not fall...
I just can't stop myself...
Despite my feelings I just can't bring myself to verbally, face to face tell you how I feel...
I... am lost for words...
I am unprepared...

Scared of being hurt...
Scared of rejection...
Scared of losing you...

Decided

When I do things for other people I dont expect anything in return.
I find happiness in spoiling people I like and making someone happy.
In a way I also do it for myself.
Kind gestures to redeem for my karma, oh yes, there have been moments of my life that im not proud of...
Thinking about karma and the after life scares me.
Sometimes I think it is just easier if I could believe theres nothing beyond this life and could adopt the "yolo" attitude, sadly im an over thinker.

The past few days I have been thinking.
I do not expect anybody to change themselves for me.
They dont owe me anything, even "promises" are often broken.
The temporary pain and tears are nothing to anyone else but me.
I need to lower my expectations but also not "settle" for anything less than what I want.
I am someone of their words.
Mark my words, I will be happy.
Whether in a relationship or not, I will be happy.

Relapse

Old habits die hard.
Feelings and hope creep back.
Relapse, leaving me vulnerable...

Trying hard not to care.
Trying hard not to think.
Trying hard to be in denial...

Please eradicate the emotional masochist out of me
Please instill some logic into my turbulent mind
Please stop the overthinking, second guessing and just get on with life

I wish to experience life
I wish to make memories
I wish to be happy

See You Soon - Coldplay

See You Soon by Coldplay




So you lost your trust,
And you never should have,
And you never should have,
But don't break your back,
If you ever see this,
Don't answer that,

In a bullet-proof vest,
With the windows all closed,
I'll be doing my best,
I'll see you soon,

In a telescope lens,
And when all you want is friends,
I'll see you soon,

So they came for you,
They came snapping at your heels,
They come snapping at your heels,
But don't break your back,
If you ever say this,
But don't answer that,

In a bullet-proof vest,
With the windows all closed,
I'll be doing my best,
I'll see you soon,
In a telescope lens,
And when all you want is friends,
I'll see you soon,
I'll see you soon,

I know, you lost your trust,
I know, you lost your trust,
I know, don't lose your trust

Hoops - Jones

Hoops by Jones


Meet me at the moment it was equal
And those weekends, where love seems so simple
Saturdays now far away
Since you say we’re different people
How high do I climb for you
Gotta jump through hoops
To get to you
To anything I own
Even if I could, be close to you
You never break the fall
Shake this divide when right on my side
For every angle that I try
Still I jump through hoops
To get to you
Stone cold landing, I’m still where you left me
Crumbled, story, circles never ending
Butterflies learn to fly
Though I tried to hide these feelings
This motion sickness, sequence
It could be the death of me
And I jump through hoops
To get to you
To anything I own
Even if I could, be close to you
You never break the fall
Shake this divide when right on my side
For every angle that I try
Still I jump through hoops
To get to you
Calling love, calling love
I’ve seen all your faces
It’s not love, it’s not love
Boy don’t make me chase it
For your love, for your love
Oh it leaves me breathless
I’m in love, I’m in love
And I jump through hoops
To get to you
To anything I own
Even if I could, be close to you
You never break the fall
Shake this divide when right on my side
For every angle that I try
Still I jump through hoops
Gotta jump through hoops

All You Never Say - Birdy

All You Never Say - Birdy


You've been searching
Have you found many things?
Time for learning
Why have I not learnt a thing?


Words with no meaning
Have kept me dreaming
But they don't tell me anything


And all you never say is that you love me so
All I'll never know is if you want me oh
If only I could look into your mind
Maybe then I'd find a sign
Of all I want to hear you say to me
To me


Are you uncertain?
Or just scared to drop your guard?
Have you been broken?
Are you afraid to show your heart?


Life can be unkind
But only sometimes
You're giving up before you start


And all you never say is that you love me so
All I'll never know is if you want me oh
If only I could look into your mind
Maybe then I'd find a sign
Of all I want to hear you say to me
To me


All you never say is that you love me so
All I'll never know is if you want me oh
If only I could look into your mind
Maybe then I'd find a sign
Of all I want to hear you say to me
To me

Let It All Go - Birdy & Rhodes

Let it All Go




I've been sleepless at night cause I don't know how I feel
I've been waiting on you just to say something real
There's a light on the road and I think you know
Morning is coming and I have to go

I don't know why, I don't know why we need to break so hard
I don't know why we break so hard
But if we're strong enough to let it in, in, in
We strong enough to let it go, oh o, oh o
Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now

If I look back to the start now I know, I see everything true
There's still a fire in me heart, my darling, but I'm not burning for you
We started it wrong and I think you know
We waited too long now I have to go

I don't know why, I don't know why we need to break so hard
I don't know why we break so hard
But if we're strong enough to let it in, in, in
We strong enough to let it go, oh o, oh o
Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now
Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now

Who says truth is beauty after all?
And who says love should break us when we fall?

But if we're strong enough to let it in, in, in
We strong enough to let it go, oho, oho
Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now
Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now
We're strong enough to let it go, oh o, oh o

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been a difficult week at work, I am exhausted.
I haven't exercised all week, just simply don't have the energy to change and get to the gym.
When I get home I just collapse on the bed and sleep for at least 2 hours straight.
I wake up to eat if I'm hungry or shower and surf the net until insomnia passes and I can finally sleep again.
Wake up, drag myself out of bed and its back to work and the same routine repeats.
However, I have stuck to my diet and resisted sugar including dessert last night despite peer pressure #proud

It has been two years now, I still have moments when I miss K.
Thought I was over you but in my moments of weakness I still think of you...
A few nights ago I had a nightmare
The first thoughts when I woke was when you used to hold me and tell me everything was going to be alright, that you'd be by my side no matter what...
I felt so safe next to you...
What I would give to relive those days, blissfully happy, hopeful of the future, naively believing everything you said.

I miss you calling me 老婆...
I miss calling you 老公...
I miss us...

Didn't expect the flood of emotions to hit me as hard as it did tonight...
I am trying to change my ways and stop complaining, to bottle everything up and pretend I am happy and okay, but I am not...
I am lonely...
I was so accustomed to thinking as "we".
To know someone is always there for me no matter what.
Oh wait, 'was' there for me...
There is no point dwelling on the "what ifs", it is what it is...
I can only wish you happiness.
Hope it was worth it and you have what you've always wanted - 平平淡淡的幸福.
我不能給你的,希望她都能給你.
Thank you.
謝謝你給我的美好回憶,謝謝你讓我愛過,謝謝你讓我成長,謝謝你帶來的傷疤提醒著我要愛自己.
If we cannot love ourselves, how can others love us?

We had a discussion at the dinner table last night - would you rather be blissfully ignorant or miserably wise?
Often I wish I was blissfully ignorant, life would be much simpler and easier to get by, but we do not get a choice.
Knowledge is a double edged sword.
We can use it to our advantage, but it can also turn around and hurt you.
At work, as much as I wish to learn, I must also remember to look out for myself,
Trust to some extent, but also know when to push back.
Know my worth, know where to draw the lines, know when to pass it onto others because I cannot simply do everything.

As exhausted as I may be, I know life goes on.
Momentary moments of weakness that only I will ever know of.
Tears evaporate into nothingness, if only my emotions and feelings could as well..
Be it for K, be it for my 'friend', feelings why won't you fade?...
A few close friends are currently experiencing difficulties in their lives.
I wish I could do something to change their circumstances, but there isn't.
I can only give them support and company, be there to listen should they wish to vent, pray for their good health and happiness.
I need to stop wasting my time being miserable, I should live my life to the fullest while I can.
I have many positives in my life - amazing friends, healthy (ish) body and independence.

I must let it all go. 

What does happiness mean to me?
Is it selfish to ask for a break and an injection of happiness in my life?
