You lost, we lost

It’s been a year since love came into my life. She is most precious stone I found, my angel. I want to keep her. I try my best to plan something for her. Her plans though, are very different from mine. She talks about how she feels when we are gone, how she lost her loved one when she was young. I listened to her only I was angry. She will never understand.


I tried to tell her many times, "it is for us, we need to have a nice life". She says "Let me be part of both ups and downs". Sometimes, I think we are so cross. She doesn’t think of her future, she thinks only of her family. With a loved one gone, I understand how difficult her life would be but what should I do about it? Get married even when I think I have to "settle" down or get married and blame her for the life I didn’t want?

Too much to ask, hey?

I met him at my friends, I didn’t think he was cute neither was I interested. We exchanged phone numbers. I was too naive to understand why. We texted for a few weeks, he said he liked me. I was blank because I didn’t feel anything like that; I denied telling "I am not ready to decide". We didn’t stop speaking; we spoke the longest that day.

Months went away, I still wasn’t feeling numb for love, I agreed. Sometimes, my intuition says "Do it" but many times, I don’t. I am scared. I have been hurt before, I don’t want to go through that path again... When I agreed, I spoke to my mother. The next question "Marriage?” I spoke many times of this topic that I was wondering if he is even interested. Many times, he agreed but after only six months, the life plan flipped a whole 360 degrees.

I was so scared, if he was going to post pone our plan. I was scared. I was scared if I am going to grow mother’s worries. I was scared if I lost it again that I should have not agreed. Tiring thoughts, after many arguments, I let go. "It’s what you have decided" I said.

Life and love relate to mother, brother, sister, father and spouse.

Relationship means going through life together even if it means you have lost everything.

Family means more than money because my motto "Money comes with an effort, people? They just leave"

Together at any situation means talking, sharing, loving, comforting.

Marriage means I love you, loved you and always will love you. No matter how hard it gets.

That one photo

When you know the life is cruel at least in your mind, you shuffle through your books, only to find the one photo that makes you want to go back in time. If there were a time machine, you would go back at least a trillion times so you can enjoy every second more. Someday, when you are happy, you still shuffle through your books and still find that one photo which was the happiest. We all have that one photo and that one day when we want to go back in time and feel better for the happy times we have had, the friends we shared, the moments we want to relive. You would, have a happy moment again, someday, you will pick that photo up when you have a cruel, sad or even a happy day and feel better about your life so you can create more memories! Cheers!

Whose child?!

This is what we dream. We all live our lives. We talk about allowing our children live their life. We say “live and let live” is our motto. Coming to reality, the laws are a little bit twisted…we listen to others gossip…We are curious to know what’s happening in our neighbor’s house. We want to know what someone else feels about the way we talk or dress… Well, can you stop yourself? We all are under the pressure... the constant pressure to impress... to not let yourself be misjudged. Why? It takes a little bit longer to realize there is nothing interesting in the neighbor’s doors anymore… takes a little longer to understand someone else could be doing the same about you... When would you really stop? When you realize you are already in the swamp? When you think there is nothing more left than ‘inner peace’? It’s the undeniable truth that we live our lives for others, not your mother but for the neighbor’s... for the people among whom you do not belong... W...

I still love you....

How I fell in love!? I still have a vague idea how this started, it was a wrong message I received. Like a child who found her chocolate, I was texting all day and all night. It was nice, the feeling. When he asked me, "How are you?", "How are you feeling?" after I caught cold. It was pleasant, I kept looking at my phone to see if he texted. Something was stopping me though; I was never the first to start a conversation. Though I am still not sure why, I moved that thought out of my mind to float in love, I am not sure if I had already fallen for him. Days went by, I saw his name blinking on my phone, and he was calling me. I panicked. I didn’t know if I could pick up the call. When I did after several seconds, I heard his voice for the first time saying "Hello", my heart sank. I was so dumbstruck that I didn’t respond for more than a minute, I was imagining a latest song tune. Finally, I responded, "hello". With the start, we spoke on the p...
