a thank you

In addition to receiving an overwhelming amount of prayers, love and support from friends, relatives, neighbours, church and kind strangers I met in the hospital and ICU waiting room the past few months...
I have also been bombarded with questions as to why I did not inform anyone regarding the unfortunate events we've been going through and how they could've helped... to which I am truly grateful knowing how everyone is so ready to lend us helping hands, and I believe I owe you an apology...

I do not cope very well under the stressful events we went through during these recent circumstances and my emotional and mental unstability led to me not being very responsive.
Anytime anyone show the slightest concern and asked how I am doing, my voice starts to break trying to explain and I find myself sobbing before I even get to explain how it all went wrong. So I may have cut short every concerned person with "we're fine" while trying my hardest to hold myself together and not lose myself which I am afraid could often times come across as me being dismissive...
So I want to make everyone aware that on the contrary me and my family deeply appreciate your concerned prayers, sympathy and compassion despite my withdrawal. 

My dad and I have been taking turns taking care of mom so both of us have been quite sleep-deprived and tired. 
and my slow little brain was quite troubled and  confused that the thought of informing others did not even cross my mind.

While my dad was out working and I was alone with my mom, she needed to use the washroom and as she was done I tried leading her back to bed which was when she collapsed and lost consciousness. 
I tried to carry her but I wasn't strong enough to hold her up which led to both of us falling on the washroom floor. I left my phone in their bed so I couldn't make any calls, I thought of screaming for help but knew I locked the doors so noone could've possibly come in to help... 
So I left my unconscious mom lying on the floor as I left and call my dad for help while begging and praying for her to keep breathing and to hold on to life...
By the time we reached the hospital, although she regained consciousness and was mumbling, they coouldn't find her pulse and she was admitted to ICCU for a 24-hour monitoring and treatment.

Everything happened in a glimpse and it was all so hectic that all I can remember is trying to calm myself so I can take care of the requirements that needed to be done in the hospital. 
It wasn't until a day later that I was able to have the chance to sit down and really process what was going on and when I was mentally in the place to re-trace everything that had happened, it felt like I was on the verge of losing  the one person  I am closest to, the person my whole world revolves around.
So, I did the only thing my weak self was capable of doing- I shut down. 
I am aware that I did not make the smartest choice all along the way which led to me pushing away people that meant well and have been offering helping hands. 
But all things considered, I truly truly appreciate you all so very much!!!
I also hope I can be there to give back for the same and return your kindness.

Irreconcilable Love

Never been one to have wondering eyes. Been too focused on navigating life and building myself up that I forget to derive pleasure off casual flirty interactions.  No, I do not deny the attractiveness of the beautiful people around me. They sure are a pleasure to the eye. But like the saying "out of sight, out of mind"  I tend to appreciate them as part of God's creation. I acknowledge their beauty but swiftly return my attention to the self-centered trajectory of my own ambitions and the life I aim to achieve. Been so emotionally closed off while aching for a shoulder to lean on, someone to deeply connect to. Then there you were, showering me with promises, security that you won't do me wrong as I slowly let my guard down giving you the trust I haven't had the ability to instill on anyone else. I am not denying your claim that you did treated me well... atleast on the initial stages when you were overwhelmed by your infatuations. You worshipped me, treated me in

BEAUTY

Do you derive pleasure in telling people they look ugly/disgusting because they do not fit the criteria of what you perceive to be beautiful??? Are you aware of the consequences of your actions? Or how your "jokes" can have impact on not just the person but everyone around you who hear it?  I have been on the receiving end, where I had to pretend like what they said do not have any impact on me, but it does.  After all, we are just social animals who seeks acceptance and validation.  I do not put the blame on you if your perception of  "beautiful" is so manipulated by our society that you just cannot look past it.  But if the factors that contribute to this standard of beauty was slightly changed, YOU yourself could be awfully ugly and disgusting that looking at you alone could be unpleasant. I am not here trying to teach you to be kind when I am not so kind myself, but your lack of empathy and demeaning jokes is such a shame.

An infatuation that will pass

Telling you that I am reminded of your cat just to avoid admitting that I think of you  (to be deleted before the person actually see this) The thought of you haven't crossed my mind in quite sometime now until today, I came across a song which reminded me of your cat, then my thoughts start to wonder off to how you used to make me feel. I wonder how you have been, it's been a while isn't it? I heard you met someone, i heard she's a sweet grad school student- an ivy league undergrad, just like you. Seems you two have a lot in common. I heard she loves cats, just like you and that you took her to cat cafe for your 2nd date, that sounds puurrrfect. I heard you're starting to love New York since she happened. I can't help but wonder how she must be, and by the end of the day I find myself looking up all your friend's profile hoping to see if your dates with her have been going well. So there I was, looking at pictures of you in tuxedo with your arms around a gi
