I hate myself when I have to stick my finger down my throat. It feels terrible and it makes me look like a mess with my eyes tearing, nose running and a sore jaw.
I don't do it very much, only when I binge snack which makes me feel horrible. I don't want to get fat.
I have a phobia of gaining weight. I know I'm not fat but somehow in my head I think my legs look fat.
Maybe they do. I'm just scared of being fat.
Somedays I binge eat. Today was one of them. I just couldn't stop eating. I ate so much. I just had to get it out of me or I'll think I'll get fat.
Why do I eat so much? I just want to be skinny. This depresses me.
Note to self: Seems like I've gone a bit too far tonight. I was about to go to bed so I went to the toilet and when I looked into the mirror, to my horror there are little red specks around my eyes! I thought they were because of my recent change in face wash and efforts in using a moisturizer every night, but after some googling it turns out those little red specks are broken blood vessels caused by the force of throwing up. I don't know whether or not to feel relieved that my skin is fine or to feel horrified that I did this to myself. Please stop. Oh dear. I'm going to get into so much trouble if B finds out :/ >.< :"(

It's 5am and I'm awake, dealing with myself.
I think best at night, but it's not always a good thing.
I don't talk about my feelings a lot. Even to B.
Maybe because nobody asks. I don't feel like anybody is interested to find out how I'm doing inside.
A lot of things make me happy. But a lot of things make me sad.
And when it comes to feelings, many people don't understand.
Happy things don't take the sad things away.
You can't just tell someone that her sadness is uncalled for when she has so many happy things in life.
Happy things are good. They make you smile, they make you feel blessed.
But one thing they don't do is take your sadness away.
It's not a war between happiness and sadness.
I think it's more like the sun and moon.
They both happen, they both make you feel different things.
But they don't outweigh each other. They just.. Exist.
It's April. And all my life there's only one thing I think about when April rolls around the corner.
My birthday. But this year, how I wish it wouldn't come.
I wish April hadn't come. I wish my birthday wouldn't come.
23 more days. What am I going to do?
I truly feel like nobody cares. I hide how I feel because I just can't face it.
I know there's no point expressing how I feel.
I already know what's going to be said to me. And all I can say it, none of it makes me feel better.
None of it will make me feel better. NONE.
Almost two weeks. Funny how emotions create different perspectives. 23 days seem really fast when you're dreading it. But almost two weeks seem like it's a terribly long time to have to go through.
Whenever I think of it I feel a little panic growing in my heart. I literally feel it physically.
I push it away everyday. But I know I can't run away from it.
As the day gets closer I feel all the more dreadful.
What's the point though? Nobody asks how I feel about it. Nobody wants to know.
Not even B. He's just avoiding it. I know. When the time comes he's just going to say that time will past really quickly, he'll text me, he'll call me, he'll see what he can buy for me.
Screw that. I don't want any of that. I'd rather he not leave and not get anything.
Again, none of that makes me feel better. So why do I bother pretending to accepting what he'll say? Why do I bother nodding and saying okay? Because it's easier that way, isn't it? Take it in, keep it in, at least one of us will be happy.
Is there a point in me showing how upset I am? He'll say why would you be like that when I'm about to go? I'm about to leave for almost two weeks and is this how you want me to leave when you're unhappy? It's all a lie, really. Even if I don't show it he knows it. He just doesn't care to know how bad it is.
At the end of the day it'll all get brushed aside. He'll happily go and I'll be here. Stuck with myself. Being upset. Nobody said life was fair. I can only keep it in.
I don't cry in front of my parents. A lot of the things they say and do hurt me. They don't do it intentionally. They just don't consider my feelings. I keep it all in too. I don't tell anyone about it. Only the person who caused a pain can fix that pain. That's what I've learned. You can't fix what someone else caused. You can only do your best to treat it. Treating isn't curing.
What happens to people who keep everything in and don't ever let it out? I don't ever blow up on my parents. I think that's a miracle on its own huh? I just keep telling myself, 'just get used to it.' The things is, I should have gotten used to it by now. But I'm not. Every single day it hurts. And every single day I give myself a pained smile and say, 'It's okay.' It's not okay. I know inside that it's not okay. I'm not okay. Nothing is okay.
As the days go by I just wonder. What happens to people like me? Really. What happens to people like me? I just want to lead an average life and be.. Less sad. I don't even dare to use the word 'happy' anymore. I would like to happy. But nobody is always happy. I just want to have nothing to have to keep in. I don't want to hide so many things inside. But I don't have a choice. I wish I had help. But nobody can. You can't fix what someone else broke.
Nobody said life was fair. But nobody said life was this unfair.
Why me? Am I the problem? Do I deserve all this? Perhaps I do. Why else would nobody care enough to help understand my feelings? Maybe I deserve to be like this. To secretly cry myself to sleep, wake up and tell myself, "It's okay" for another day and put on smiles for everyone?

Some nights, when I allow myself to, I cry.
When I'm alone and I cry, I don't have to be afraid anyone would see or hear me.
I'll let everything I've been keeping inside out, and cry and cry.
But no matter how much I cry, how hard I cry, how much tears I shed, the pain never goes away.
The pain is always there. Always reminding me cruelly of the emotionally hole in my heart.
In my heart I know, nobody and nothing can ever possibly make up for your absence.
Nothing takes the hurt away.
But crying makes me tired. Really tired. I'd always fall asleep right after, even though I'd be bothered by tons of snot and a blocked nose. And potentially a migraine.
Tonight I'm tired. Very snotty and I've got a migraine. But this pain in my heart, it just won't go away.

Sick of hearing about people going overseas.
Yes, yes you say that I was the one who chose not to go.
So what's the point in me saying anything? Nobody would understand.
I chose not to go because not only did I not want to leave Patchie behind,
But I also didnt want to leave him behind.
But now it seems like I'm the only one who cares to do that.
I don't want to leave anyone behind but everyone leaves ME behind.
Sick of hearing people plan for their trips. Sick of people yabbering on about how their trip went. Sick of hearing people tell me about where they're planning to go. Sick of hearing how excited they are. Sick of this shit.
I guess to everyone else my feelings are either insignificant or non-existent.
Two weeks. Hurray.

13 days.. 13 days is a long time to be left behind.
Everyone else gets to go somewhere and I'm just getting left behind here.
I don't even know why I'm sad. It's not like I'm scared or worried.
Maybe it's the thought that he could actually be happy somewhere without me that scares me..
Maybe it's because I don't get to go along.
Maybe this is just the feeling of getting left behind.
I don't really know. I'm just sad. Really sad.
Thinking about the future scares me.
Who knows what could happen when he starts school?
I didn't know what could happen when I started school years ago.
And yet this happened and the worst part of it all is I'm thankful this happened because I love B.
I'm so afraid of losing him to someone else.
If that happens I'll really get left behind.
Left behind in the past, left behind in memories, left behind in everything..
The fact that I see the world as a cruel place where unpredictable things happen that snatch my loved ones away is scary. Where is God in this?
It almost feels like this world relishes in the joy of taking things from people and sending misery straight into the depths of our hearts. Where is God in this?
I think the most cruel part of it all is having to put a smile on my face because I don't feel like I'm allowed to wallow in all this despair.
Having to smile and nod when inside no matter what is said to me, even with the best intentions, I know will not make me feel better. Or not for long anyway.
Sometimes you just get used to a certain kind of sadness.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm too much of a romantic or does nobody do romance anymore?
We can say we'll never become the way old couples no longer hold hands, give kisses and cuddles..
But time will always be the silent thief of our lives.
I love kisses. Exceptionally. Just something about them that is so passionate, so sweet. Not pecks on the lips or cheeks. Real passionate kisses.
Is that something we've lost for good? Are the things we used to do destined to just become memories?
I feel so alone in these things. I've tried so many times, but words are nothing if they aren't heard, words are nothing if they aren't remembered.
Many a time I've tried to express how I feel, I guess it's just not enough to bring it back.
Now I just keep my feelings to myself, deal with them myself.
In the past I would seek new relationships simply because I just love how Love feels in the beginning.
Like a firework, a burst of bright, beautiful brilliance.
Nothing feels quite like the beginning of a relationship. The passion, the love, the obsession..
I've always been in love with being in love.
I sought to find a love that would never lose that burst of brilliance, but time and time again I got disappointed. It becomes something else. Still beautiful, but never the same as the shine it once had.
Those memories of the things we used to do, is this all they will always be? Just memories?
I know we can never talk on the phone like we used to anymore.
But I just can never forget how I would always wake up to those kisses, they felt magical.
As days go by it seems like even phones have taken a place of higher importance during times spent together. And even on social media I've lost the attention you used to give me.
Other people get more likes and comments from you than I get. I get none at all actually. I even have to bring things to your attention. And even that doesn't get heard sometimes. Or just get forgotten.
I've tried. So many times. But nothing happens. Now I'll just keep it to myself, to try to let time maybe take even those memories and feelings away. But they don't ever go away.
I treasure them too much. And these tears on my pillow just reminded me that it's been a while since I last cried in bed. This blocked, runny nose reminds me how much I hate crying myself to sleep.
Why does my heart hurt so much thinking about all these? I feel like I'm the only one who cares enough to want them back. Actually, I know I'm the only one who cares enough to want them back.
You don't. I know.
We can say we'll never ever become like the way old couples are. But who knows what else time will steal..

Sometimes I feel like when you become a constant in someone's life, they begin to overlook your requests and needs because they seem to know you're always going to be there no matter how they neglect you..

2013 has gone into history! I can't believe that 2013 is already over and it's now 2014.
Truly I feel like this year has flown by so fast, the last thing I remember was June! Not in a literal sense of course otherwise I'd have serious memory problems but you get what I mean.
I've always been one who believes that New Year's resolutions are simply there for nothing. People keep to their resolutions for only a few months or weeks, if at all!
I for one have never managed to even remember mine right after I make them.
But for some reason I truly believe 2014 is going to be the best year yet and that a lot of things will change for the better. For that reason I believe I owe it to myself to not screw up, as best as I can!
I always find that goals are easier to achieve when you set small little goals that are actually achievable and not seemingly impossible. Aim far, but to get far you gotta take steps to get there right?
Stop Worrying and Just Pray
I'm such a worrier. If you knew me at all you'd know that I worry about everything, even the smallest things. I'm always anxious about things and really I hate to admit it but worrying doesn't help solve any of my problems at all. It's not like worrying about something all night is going to fix the situation. I just have to remember that I cannot control everything.
My most favourite Bible verse of all time came to me at a time of need. And I really feel that it speaks to me perfectly.
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done." - Philippians 4:6 (NLT)
And the next verse says "Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
Truly, I have to say that no other verse has ever struck me as hard as Philippians 4:6. I need to learn to worry less, pray more; whenever things happen, the first thing I should do isn't to panic, but to pray.
Ignore Others' Opinions and Just Be Happy
This is kind of similar to the one above, to not worry. I've always been someone who's really self-conscious, and it's really difficult for me to not care about what other people think about me. I truly admire those who do whatever they want without a care in the world. People are so judgy these days, and I really need to remember that there isn't any amount of worrying that could change that. I don't want to be a slave to opinions of others. For some reason, all my life so far I was constantly picked on, be it in person or on the Internet. Is because people could tell that I would take their nasty comments to heart? I have to remember, "A lion does not lose sleep over opinions of sheep." Although, I really do love animals and sheep are one of my favourites :)
On a side note though, I don't understand why people can be so mean. Especially now that social media has taken over our lives. Everywhere on the Internet, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.. People can leave the most nasty of comments on a video or photo of someone they don't even know. Some even make fake accounts to leave nasty comments on a photo of someone they actually know because they don't want that person to find out it's actually them. I don't understand this! What has this world come too? What's more appalling is such acts predominantly come from females. No wonder girls are always said to be bitchy. In a world like this, women should empower each other, not put each other down. A word of kindness does good not only for the one it's being directed at, but it does good to ourselves too. I've found that genuinely complimenting others makes me feel happy, really! I could dedicate a whole post to talk about this so moving on..
Think Before I Speak and Consider Other People's Feelings More
These all seem to be linked to one and another, don't they? Since I was talking about people being mean, I think it's also important that I reflect on myself and do my part too. I must remember to think before I speak, simply because a lot of the times I say things too quickly and realise how embarrassing it sounds in hindsight. Other than embarrassing myself, sometimes I wasn't aware that what I said came off hurtful. To save myself anymore embarrassment that would make me wanna slap myself and anymore guilt from hurting people, I must learn to use words carefully.
Your mouth can speak beautiful words that give people warmth, but it can also say horrible things that set a big fire. This year I am determined to be mindful of what I say.
Sleep Early!!!
I need to be more disciplined regarding my sleep patterns. Don't really think I need to explain why!
Snack Less!
I used to be someone who would snack constantly at night. Always munching on junk food. So far this year I've been pretty good in that I haven't been snacking at night or I'll just have a few biscuits or chocolate if I'm really hungry. Of course it's still snacking but not as bad. Believe me you'd be horrified if you saw how I was constantly snacking on hot Cheetos for months. So bad for my body.
Exercise!
Honestly I'm not sure if I could do real exercise like jog or yoga but I started doing squats and lunges some time in December and I quite enjoy, surprisingly. Although, I admit that when Christmas and New Year came around I got too lazy and into the holiday mood that I've been slacking but I shall get back into it now! No more excuses! I shall keep telling myself, train insane or remain the same! I don't wanna remain the same :( Or become fat. God forbid!!!
Spend More Time with Loved Ones
I really treasure what I have in my life and I feel really blessed for all that I have. Family, B, Patchie, friends.. I want to spend more time with them all and really enjoy my blessings.
Of course, I definitely want to be a better person in general; be who God wants me to be. I feel like I really need to work on that and there are a lot of things I struggle with but I believe I can do it.
I just know 2014 will be a year with great changes in my life and will definitely be a year that I will look back upon for all the fantastic stuff that will happen. 2014 will only bring good things and bad things will not happen. I'm looking forward to everything God will bring this year!
