Moving On

Moving on. Still something I hate to hear, very much.

It was one the guys that I dated who first talked about 'moving on'. He was telling me that in life we all have to move on, and that's what he did with his past relationships, as I can vaguely remember. I remember telling him how bad it is to move on, and that people shouldn't be made to move on, because it's a bad thing, it's saddening.

After i broke up with my ex, he kept telling me to move on, to stop contacting him and that he's moved on.

'What's wrong with you guys seriously!', I said to myself, how can people be so heartless. I simply can't move on, just like that. I always think people who are able to move on simply because they haven't really fallen deep enough for someone. Just my opinion, you may disagree.

It will be the 1st of July in 5 minutes.

For the past 6 months, I wasn't very happy. It was rocky. It was hard.

All because I fucked up.

In Jan, we were already on the brink of breaking up. I fucked up. I was super guilty. I started to get worried about getting infected with the disease because I did something wrong, and maybe i will get punishment. And because of the all the worries, our holiday back in Malaysia and Singapore didn't go well at all. And, I finally had to tell you the truth. I couldn't hide the fact that I did something wrong against you. I couldn't pretend nothing happened. I have to be responsible, for our relationship, so I thought.

Things were still hard for us after we got back to Sydney. It took me until March to be partially convinced that I was not infected with the disease. But soon, I fell ill again starting late March, through to April, as the flu season started in Australia. Again, I was struck with anxiety, thinking that the illness might be something worse. Because I did something wrong, I may be punished by God, and that's something I deserve.

You couldn't stand me anymore. You decided to leave me.

At one point, I thought I could 'move on', and so I became very active on Jack'D, and ended up visiting sauna and thought I could lead a 'vibrant' gay life, and would never be hurt by a relationship anymore.

Unfortunately, that incident on May 5th happened. I was so traumatised emotionally by it. With all the anxieties, panics, worsened by the fact that you actually didn't care. Not that you have the obligation to do so, but my own wishfulness and foolishness.

With all the support from friends, and God's presence, I was able to live till today. Tomorrow will be 29th day post PEP, things should be getting better, I hoped. But I fucked up again yesterday. To many of you, this may be nothing. I am not in a relationship. I can 'have fun' as I like. But it's against my principles. I thought I could 'have fun', but it was 'having fun' that got me into all these troubles, worries today. So I decided to not do it again, but I failed. I was vulnerable.

Yes, I really have to move on. It's 1st July already. I will go for another test tomorrow morning (this morning actually), will be seeing the counsellor. And I will have to start planning for my studies. Should I or Could I apply for special consideration, so that I could have a few extra weeks. Or Should I apply for a suspension so that I could rest for a semester? I am tired. I am not at my best.

Health. Relationship. Religion.

There are so many things on my plate. But I couldn't share any of these with my dearest family.

Moving on. Moving forward.

Where to? How to?

  1. Sounds really similar to what I went through. It'll definitely take awhile, but you'll move on. Not entirely, but at least enough that your every waking moment won't be occupied by the one who got away.

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi

Are you the ONE?

One thing being a gay and single is that, I tend to screen for prospective Bf, every single day, every single time a man, in the right age range walks past me. (Though the age range criteria has been relaxed most of the time) It wasn't this 'serious' in the past, my brain wasn't working like this... Now, it's getting a bit excessive sometimes. Stealing glances at random guys on the bus, in the park, around the neighbourhood, in the gym...And these glances are getting more and more 'advanced'. I know perfectly, where to scan, the legs, the butts, the triceps, the forearm, etc. I know the timing. I know where to sit on the bus so that I can have an easy access to the view. And most importantly, I acted as if I didn't care, with the cool face, acted as if I'm the least possible person to steal glances at random guys. Am I perverted? weird? desperate? Maybe it's the desperateness. With guys that I haven't met, I find myself having all the
