This Is The Day When I Stopped Being The Other Girl Who Loved You Like The Only Girl

When was the last time you are able to take over your life and finally be able to do the right thing? 

I did it a few days ago. 

The guy I am with already has a girlfriend and he meant our relationship is supposed to be just for fun. But after some time, I caught in feelings and it bothers me a lot because he was invested time in me by taking me places, buying me gifts, meeting me halfway (I just can't with people who sacrifice their time just to meet me), texting me every day, video calling me in random times. He's fun and loving of course but I caught feelings and I start getting upset every time he told me he wanted to go out with his girlfriend. 

Every time he did that, I always wonder "What is wrong with me?"

Why I always be the second choice to everyone I hold most dear? Is it because I'm always around and easy to approach?


Is it better to know that in his mind, I am the best? Better than his girlfriend like he said every time I asked him why he plays such a game he knows he can't win? 


Why he still chooses her when he knows that he had a better chance with me in everything?


And I finally take control of my life. Telling myself that I don't want to be the girl who waits for him every time he went out with his girlfriend for a chance to talk to him through chats. I decide to tell myself that I deserve better than just a girl who only has his hug in a room where only I can see it. 

I decided to take my phone and tell him I deserve better. That I didn't want to be the one who makes him unfaithful. That I didn't want to take part in making someone cry from the mistakes I know I can avoid. 

I've learned that someone who truly wants you that much, wouldn't hide you behind a shadow named 'friendship'. 

I did tell him that I grow some feelings for him, feelings he could never answer and if he answer, the answer wouldn't be the words I hoped he said. 

So before he leaves me, I left him first. 

To avoid the heartbreak. To take control of myself that once gives up for a glimpse of hope that somehow you will choose me over your girlfriend. To make myself stand back to the reality that it would never be that simple and easy. 

I left you to take back the power that I was invested in you.

That moment when I left you, I feel more powerful. I feel that if I can do this, I definitely can do anything. If I choose to love myself first and know I deserve better, eventually, something better will come along and find me. 

Sometimes I miss you. But it doesn't mean that I want you back.

You Are Absolutely Don't Know Where You're Going

Right now in life, everything seems like you're coming to a dead-end. To the end of the road. At the edge of a cliff.  You absolutely have no idea where life might take you. You keep thinking of the life you've been picturing for so long--and this life isn't even close to what you're dreaming of. You haven't been on the place where you should be right now. That dream job hasn't been yours. Even the plan of getting married by 25 is forgotten because hell, every guy wants to take it 'casual' right now. You try to play it cool, try to brush it off. Telling people that 'I am living in my own timeline' or 'Things will falls into place for me one day' but you can't help to wonder: when is that 'one day' will actually happens to you? Why aren't you living the same timeline like your bestfriend who's already pregnant with her second child? Aren't you good enough either to be a mom? Why are you keep doing the same job...

Actually, Timing's Not A Bitch. You're The Bitch

What do you say when you failed a relationship? You will start blaming time. The thought of "the timing isn't right" will burst out of your mind, being the first cause of why some relationship doesn't work. Why some people aren't together. Why they ghosting other people.  We start using timing as an excuse of why we don't act. Why we never pick up the phone to say we miss them or apologize of things we did to them. Why we met all the wrong people in--we say--the right time and all the right people in what we thought, the wrong time. Timing become an excuse of why life didn't align to the things we want, instead brings us to the things we don't know we need it yet.  Since then we become obsessed with the terms 'good timing', but what exactly a good timing is? Is it when all the things makes sense to us? Or when every moment become convenient for us? Or when we finally have the courage to the things we always want to do, so we kinda feel t...

If he want, he would.

If he wanted to work things out, he would. He would still say i love you when you fight. He will tone his voice down because it's you that he's trying to win, not his ego. He will say sorry first, regardless who makes the mistakes first. He will come to your house, even though your house is 1 hour driving by car. He would be patient, because he realize you need time. He would still say good morning even though you two fights the night before without resolving anything. He willing to talk things out, without keeping it and let it blow your relationship off into pieces. If he wanted to call you, he would. He will try to call you or at least text to know how your day were. Because he realize that when he let a day go by without talking to you, that day is just no good. He will let you know what is he doing whenever it is because he doesn't want to worry you. He will listen to you, because he really interested in your thought. Not just making small conversation.
