Hello! Yes, I'm still alive! It's been crazy the past months but I'm genuinely excited for the upcoming things I'm gonna be busy with. A lot of the people I know have experienced stress in more ways than one. As for me, I'm keeping everything well-balanced - albeit hard.

Get into that MOSHI Monday habit!

Anyone out there?

The last entry in my journal is dated November 2nd, and a lot has happened since.


I haven’t really felt the urge to write lately. It’s not that I have nothing to say (believe me, I have plenty). It’s just whatever I start to write I end up deleting. I can’t seem to focus on any one thing at the moment. A lot of things run through my mind making it difficult to put anything down on. I start to write, then edit, then write, then edit some more. I keep editing until I end up with nothing. I guess you could say that’s pretty much my life at the moment: a few hundred things going on with a few hundred different messages and absolutely nothing to show for it. It’s rather complex and mind-boggling. I’m not used to so much uncertainty and indecisiveness.

I'll try to update this "blog" more often.

Every little thing you wanted.

Yes, Fashion is a hobby of mine, but I think I'm into it so much because I'm using it as an escape. Maybe if I wore my shades, no one would look at me or maybe if I had a killer outfit, they'd forget about how ugly I really was. I do believe that my personality is rather pleasing - I can say I'm respectful and caring and responsible, but why is it that the people or person I want to impress doesn't even notice me, while the people I have no interest in are like obsessed with my existence. This makes me think that I'm really not good enough, that I have nothing to show for myself. I really don't like bragging nor fussing about my accomplishments and yet, others do to climb the social ladder. I really don't give a fuck of where I am in the hierarchy - All I want is to be happy. Just a little bit more to what I'm used to. 

 

I wish I could be every little thing he wanted. Sometimes I wish I were pretty. Maybe, just maybe he would have never left me.
