I was bored so I went blog surfing, and suddenly, something caught my eye. I don't quite know what exactly it was, but I read the whole entry.
.
It was about making choices. Picking one man over the other. She picked the one that was right beside her, over the one that was miles and miles away. Which seem to be a choice that many will make. The easy way out...
.
But as time goes by, things unfolded... and she realised that she made a mistake. However, you don't really realise the gravity of your mistake until you see them again. To see "him" again.
.
It's really difficult to put into words how I really felt upon reading that entry. For it really spoke my mind, my uncertainty, my fear. Of being home, seeing him again. As the day draws nearer, the thought resurfaces in increased frequency.
.
I am thrilled, crazily excited of going home, but at the same time, I know that I'm gonna be flooded with reminders of him, of what could have been. Countless memories, in too many places. And I'm not quite sure if I'm ready for that. Don't know if I'll ever be.
.
A year ago, we parted and went separate ways. But the thing is, he went a separate way, and I, never really went anywhere... Now that it's time to go back home, I can't help but to realise how much I'm not over this, how much I'm still affected by it all. I was wrong then. I should have been more patient, more understanding. I should have stuck by him, and not be a fair-weathered girlfriend.
.
Good men are rare to find these days. And I, missed out on a really good one.
.
And all I can do now, is to wish that he's happy. Eventhough I might not be part of his happiness. I wish I could be easier on myself, for it's been a long time since. But really, I'm still trying to find it somewhere in me, the ability to forgive myself.
.
And I know that someone might be affected after reading this entry. But all I can say is, "I'm sorry. Truly am." "But really, I'm not good enough for you. I don't deserve you. I tried. Really did. But I can't." You deserve someone who loves you back the same. Being with someone who doesn't love you back, is way lonelier than being alone.
.
Perhaps, I'm destined to be alone. For the mistakes I've made. For all the wrongs in my life. Is this really the consequence I've got to face, for having made those choices? Only time will tell.
.
Someone once told me, "What's meant to be, will be."
.
I know this is a sad post, but I do want to be able to look back years from now. And remember that I once vowed that I'm a changed person. And I wanna do right, I wanna be right. That I am, a new me.
.
Besides, the best things in life, are always worth waiting for, right?

And I hope someday you'll be able to find your own happiness as well.. Changes are inevitable, we just have to accept it as they come. Take care!
Caryn: Thanks gal :) *HugZ*
If they return do you think you'll want them back??? I don't. But that's just me.
DentistDownUnder: Frankly, I do not have the answer to ur question, but I guess everyone's different. And no one action is absolute right/wrong.
Hhmm, having said that, I really need to find a way to forgive myself. Sighh
That was a really touching post. Hope everything works out for the best for you. Que sera, sera...right? =)
I think that the saying 'if it was meant to be, it will be / would have been' is really apt here just like you said. That's what I personally believe in as well. No point regretting anything we have done in life or choices we made. We were all young-er once sometime in our lives and I guess whatever decisions we made at that point in time would have seemed right. But as we mature or gain more experience we look back and those choices seem so wrong - but that's life. There's always a silver lining behind every cloud and a reason for everything that happens. You'll be surprise ;)
Please note that I'm not "dentist-down-under" (who's that?!?!)..
Don't worry Mei, I forgive you for leaving me.. and best of all I won't be in Malaysia when you're back.. hahaha..
Cheer up Mei..
Master Peebody: Thanks, I hope things will work out for the best too :)
sooyin: Aaww. Thanks :) and thanks for dropping by and taking an interest in my life too.
Suetling: Uh huh... definitely. I just have to keep looking for that silver lining, I guess. and never to give up :D
Stephen: Hahaha... don't worry. I know that's not you :)
Hrmm...
So serious.....
You ought to lighten your shoulder a bit. A back rub maybe?
I've plenty to say, but i think i'll still offer you hoegaarden.
Hyperhex: Hahaha. OoO.. back rub sounds inviting. I havent had that for far too longggg...
And yes, I'm still up for that :D Back in kl perhaps. *haha*
dear girl, relationships (as i've learnt) can be both wonderful as well as dreadful! but consider the in-betweens.. what i mean by 'in-between' is those who aren't in a relationship, hoping to have had one, but their love was never reciprocated, (hence the never-started), leaving them broken-hearted nevertheless. It's the worst category of the lot because these ppl never had a chance at having a 'had'. All that's left is the memory of regret; that they ever loved the very person who never loved them back. I don't know how guys handle it, but sure it's hell for a girl to get rejected and have to live with it in-her-face for the next 2 years, until she graduates. Spectators include her ever nosy batch-mates, lecturers, and the 'guy-without-whom-the-whole-issue-wouldn't-have-started' with his new gf. Yes, he had to get attached, just to add insult to injury. Your life doesn't sound so bad afterall, huh? I'm still trying to figure-out how to endure the 2 years to come... it kills to know he's happy at all.
-tormented-
Tormented: It's not easy. I never once said I'm the worst of the lot, for I know there are heaps out there who are far worse than me. I do go to sleep, counting my blessings, and I ain't complainin' cuz we're still best-of-frens, on talking terms. As for you, I hope you can see beyond things, and be happy for him, if you really do love him. And him not appreciating you, that's his loss :) Stay strong, gal!
Hi Mei. A really touching post which speaks exactly what is on my mind. We've all been there...broken and unmended. I wrote the similar thing about one month ago, when I was hesitating about going home for Christmas.. I was afraid of the memories...the reminders, HIM..afraid of bumping into any of his family members, afraid of everything, basically. I used to anticipate the moment of reaching KLIA, but now i dread it. But anyways...I did make my decision, and now i'm back in M'sia.. Things are just not what they used to be. I find myself being in sorrow rather than being afraid. Sighs.
But I do agree that 'what's meant to be, will be'. Maybe it's just consolation to the broken heart, but well, we all have to hang onto that consolation just in case we fall too hard again and have to start the climbing all over again.
Cheers :)
Sue
Sue: Well, good on ya. At least you decided to go back after all. Unlike me, who hesitated going home for winter... and ended up cancelling my flight the very last minute. Didn't have the Courage, dear...
