Destination unknown

Wednesday. At home. Thinking. Why?

我想你! 你想我吗? Why thinking so much anyway? Doesn't make sense. But it makes me human. It won't help me, but it makes me normal. Do I want to be just normal? Part of me, yes. Part of me, maybe. I don't wanna be like Amy Winehouse or something. Just wanna be unique. But I wanna be strong as well. I wanna radiate confidence and happiness. Need to break from the past, wheather I want it or not. The wheels are in motion, I can't stop the train anyway. Even if I could, it's the wrong train, it would bring me to the wrong destination. I need to stop right now, take a breather and then look for a new one. This time the right one.

Relationships, soulmates, dreamgirls

I'm not dwelling on the past. It would be too many unanswered questions. I know I'd get very emotional and everything... That doesn't help me at all. The girl's made up her mind. Time will heal all the wounds. And I will be better as the days go by. Actually I'm fine. On the outside. But now I try my best not to peek inside. I have to stay on the surface, I have to stay on track.
I know I won't have a girlfriend very soon. I need put away my emotions I invested in the recently ended love story. I'm someone who never goes into a relationship just for fun. I take every woman seriously. If I see that someone's no girlfriend material, I don't start anything. I realized I'm looking for a soulmate. Someone who I know will always love me and I will love her always, too. And most importantly, we will be best friends. I don't understand people who are in relationships and their partner is not their best friend. My girl has to be my number one and I have to be her number one. If I'm sick, jobless, depressed, angry, sad - I want my girlfriend to always support me, stand by my side, be patient with me. Because I would always do same and be the same person to her. Is it too pathetic when I say that I'm a person who would die just to save my soulmate's life. Wouldn't you do that if you were facing that choice?
Yea, I met some fine women in my life, had 3 long relationships. My teen years weren't that serious and I forgot most of the girls from back then. And I loved every girl I was with to the fullest and tried my best to make them happy. I was 2 times the 'breakee' and 1 time the 'breaker'. The hardest thing for me was to break up myself. To break someone's heart is really devastating. She doesn't talk to me anymore. This makes me sad. But now I can't do anything about that. I wish her all the best and will always keep her in my heart.
So far, I haven't found my soulmate. No girl was a perfect match for me. And if I was a different kind of man, I'd probably break up much sooner. But the way I am: I can't. It's like I fall in love and obviously I only see the girl's best side, I project my desires onto her and create an image of her that she's not. That becomes obvious after a while when we both show some other not so pleasant traits of our characters. And then the quarrels start. I want this, she wants that. I think it's this way, she thinks it's that way. Of course you can't always agree on everything, but sometimes it just too different. There have to be some common interests. It shouldn't be, that you have to ask your partner to be into something, to show interest and excitement for something. It should happen naturally, spontaneously. So far, I haven't had a girl who'd really meet my expectations in this regard. Of course, first, you do anything for your loved one, but after a while, you become yourself again and you realize that you expect more. You should be yourself from the beginning and that's how you'll prevent future surprises.
So, is it possible to find a soulmate? I see many people and hear from them how happy they are. But how come so many people break up or divorce nowadays? Is it really so hard, that you have to throw the towel so fast these days? A while ago I heard this saying: It is easy to make a different woman happy every day, but it's very hard to make the same woman happy every day. There's a lot of truth in it. And the problem is, you have no guarantees in life. A relationship can go well for a year, for 5, 10, 20 and then people break up... You can never be sure. You always have to invest in it, you have to keep renovating it (like a house) and keep it intact, fresh and interesting. I don't mind the routine. I think the sometimes dull every day stuff has its charm. I'd immedately trade excitement for stability and security.
So now I'm looking forward. I have to learn from my mistakes, have to make it better next time. I will be more careful, I hope. Maybe I'll check more thoroughly, but that's for my own good. I can't be careless any more. I don't wanna waste my emotions and time. And I still won't give up on finding a soulmate/dreamgirl. There must be someone out there. My perfect match. Where are you?

Starting over, again

History repeats itself. Yep. I broke up again. This time me and my girlfriend, now already my ex-girlfriend, both agreed on it. It's funny... When we broke up last year, that was the initiating moment to start this blog (here's my first post). But this time is different. This time is serious. A year ago was a big shock, because I didn't expect something like that. It came out of nowhere. Now I sensed something like that's coming up and partly I was also thinking to break up myself. But I wasn't strong enough. I wasn't sure enough. Well, now it's done. I need to accept it. And I need to get over it. It was never the same since last years break up. We were single over 3 months before we came back together. I took her back because I loved her, even after she hurt me. I tried my best to make it work, but I saw it got harder and harder. Sometimes I wasn't like I used to be and she felt that. I was sometimes very moody and unsecure. It was hard for both to continue like that. We knew that. And while being in Malaysia, it was still mostly ok, we had a great time. And I'm sure we both won't forget that. Her family loved me and I loved them. All the nephews and nieces called me uncle Nino, hugged me. It was a touching moment when her 2 years old niece said 'Uncle Nino, I love you.' I will always cherish these moments. I am still lucky to experience so many unforgettable moments with her. Thank you, 慧凊。

Faithful


I was always faithful to others. But seldom faithful to myself. It seems as whenever I made a decision in the past where I would really follow my own will, my own desire, I hurt someone. Why do we sometimes decide to be loyal to ourselves and hurt others by doing so? I hate situations where I'm deciding between 2 lives to be fundamentally changed by my decision. And whatever I'd chose, I'd make at least one person unhappy. Sometimes even miserable. So why can life (let's say life is something real) be so unfair? I know it can't be. Life doesn't know 'fair' and 'unfair'. Life knows nothing. Life is what we project into the idea behind the word 'life'. It's a process. Some people just live, do what they want, betray others, lie, never keep their word - but they're happy! I always try to please everyone. To keep my word is holy to me. Holy as the holy father to the pope. But always striving to be perfect, to be honest, friendly, polite, true... it's tough. I'm not claiming I don't lie at all. But my lies are harmless. It's those white lies or those that make the truth look a bit nicer. Mostly I try not to lie by avoiding a topic that would make me lie if I had to talk about it. But all these things are unimportant. I did not betray anyone in a long long time. I did not wish bad to anyone in a long long time. If I did, it was because I felt the person was mean or unjust to me or to someone close to me. I don't wish bad to anyone in this world. I want people to be happy and successful. Seriously. I mean, is my reality any better or worse if someone is happy or unhappy? Not if this person is not involved in my life. So, now we're in a recession. I'm in one since I graduated 2 years ago. I didn't have the best job waiting for me afterwards, even though I finished as one of the best at our top university. I made some tough choices in these recent years. My life could've been totally different. But what good can happen if I dwell on the choices that I made in the past? Nothing. Completely nada. I just keep eating myself up and getting smaller and smaller. Yea, to be faithful to oneself is hard. Because people like that have it tough. I think I must change my mindset. I see people with less intellect and integrity, with less knowledge and humanity having a more successful life than me. I don't want to make the impression that I measure success in material things. But being almost jobless for so long is not a good perspective for a successful life. I work, but for what I do I could spare myself the 7 long years at the university. So if soon there will nothing heading my way (and the recession is not really promising in this regard), I will lose my patience, my mind and my faith in everything.

I hope I wake up soon. This dream is already wearing me out.

I made you cry...

I made you cry and I'm terribly sorry...
I just couldn't control myself.
I have to figure out why.
Please forgive me.
