Teach me how to cry

It sucks.

For the past few nights I have been trying to cry to make myself feel better. But no matter how hard I have tried there's still no tears. 

I looked at the oldest photos I have on my iphone, those taken within the last two years. I have changed. The relationship had changed too. I have aged. My face was slimmer, I looked younger and more cheerful, or cuter. We used to take lots of 'sweet' photos together. Random photos u took of me. Naked,half naked. We would dine out together more on Friday nights. And we would take photos of the food AND of us, but then gradually, only photos of the food. 

I failed to cry maybe because I am afraid of being the 'stupid' one. "What if, actually you never quite liked/loved me?" "What if u thought I was ugly with my acnes?" "What if I was really standing in your way in the last few months, disturbing you when u perhaps had moved on and was dating someone when I kept texting you?" Or worse, "what if you did the most intimate act with someone else already?" 

This thought, that you might have had an intimate relationship with another man already, is like a knife making lacerations on my heart. And when I thought about it more, I wonder if it had been bothering u that I'm "unclean". I wasn't a virgin anymore when we met. How did u manage to accept that? Was it love? But even if it was love, it didn't last did it? 

I looked at myself carefully in the mirror tonight, naked. I thought I looked ugly. Maybe this is one of the contributing factors too. I imagine it's more bearable dealing with a cute/hot but demanding bf, compared to a fat/ugly and demanding bf. I should have had looked at the mirror more since the beginning. 

Then I stalked u on your instagram. I noticed u started following some hot guys there. Could one of them be your new bf now? That's a bit too soon isn't it? But then they are really hot. Maybe they may even have a better personality than me. That would have made them perfect, and on the contrary, made our separation even more legitimate. 

As I was walking home today, i was again thinking about u. Actually I have been thinking about u almost all the time. There's so much that I would like to tell you. I wanted to tell you that I'm finally free from Phd! We can have fun now! I won't be gloomy anymore! When I came across a recipe today, I thought I wanted to let you try my lunch box if I make something nice. 

I also wanted to tell you I'm really really sorry, and that I really really love you more than what you would believe. But I know there's no way of saying this to you. There's no good of saying this to you. What if you are already getting into a new relationship? I will just make it more difficult for u. Then u have to compare, and my existing records are so bad that I know I would lose for sure. 

I read somewhere online that you broke up for reasons. I hate how I feel so insecure because u failed to make me feel secure. Especially how u seem to value your friends more than me. I hate how you can be so stubborn. 

I checked the dating apps so often these days. But the hot guys there failed to distract me for long enough. Instead, I think about u even more. 

But I know I can't contact u in any ways otherwise u would look down on me even more. I wanted to pretend I'm the winner, I walked out of it with my chest up and i can't lie to myself. 

I even didn't wan to click on your LinkedIn because u would know. And I'm starting to think about all sorts of heart wrecking moments. What if one day I see u kissing a guy? What if I can't resist and call u and u tell me u just had sex with your new bf? 

What would I do? Revenge by going to have sex with random people? What would that do? It would only hurt me myself. Because most likely I know your heart is no longer with me. Not even a cell of your heart. Which is why I said to KK the other day that even if I died u wouldn't care.

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

I am free!

Submitted my thesis last week. Worked till 6am, sent my final draft to my supervisor, and went to bed. Didn't really sleep though, as I set my alarm at 8am, and by then, my supervisor had already emailed me the final edits required. I incorporated the final changes, and saved a few copies to my pen drives, to dropbox, before I showered and headed off to uni to print. Deadline was at 12pm, I was at the print shop at around 10.30am. It was a super cheerful asian lady. The print shop was empty, probably because it was Stuvac. Printed the entire thing in colour, cost me a fortune. But luckily the lady kindly gave me some discounts, so nice of her. Took a few photos of them before I handed them in. Uni is finally over!!! ...OR probably not??! One of the best things being with Jay, is that he is interesting. He's smart. Because, you know, I am already smart, so I need someone smarter for some stimulation. (Just kidding!! :-p) I called him right after I finished posting the ph
