i kind of miss everyone?

Looking through some old photos and realizing how many people have walked out of my life. Those were the people who swore on their life they'd stay no matter what, but with a little hassle, they gave up and left. nonetheless, I have them who stayed. for years. those who saw me mature, those who has seen two sides of me, those who knew my dark secrets that I dare not tell now.
It's really saddening to think that people are bound to grow apart. You may think you can keep your bunch of friends with you forever, but let's face the truth, people aren't that nice. Why would they stay when they can have someone better? Why would they stay if you won't benefit them? Some may stay but never expect things to remain the same. throughout the years, you may stay the same but people and things will change.
they might argue otherwise - they might say that you've changed and things aren't working out. all you can do to make it all seem better that what is actually is, is accept the fact. accept the reality of life.

man did I lose a lot of "friends" over the years.

Post-uni life.

Hello folx and friends! It's been a while since my last post, and reading back, that was when I was still a student - and boy has lots changed. The past 3-4 months of my life has been the most uncertain and confusing moments of my life, but I'm glad that things are starting to look up now. Just in time... for 2020. First things first, I officially completed my degree in chem eng! Woohoo. Thinking back to when I first started, I had so many doubts in myself. But I was lucky to have been surrounded by supportive and ambitious people who push me and motivate me to not let my doubts get the best of me. Fast forward to my third year of university, I transferred to Australia! That transition in itself had such a big role in my life and its outcomes, and regardless of the bad days, I am so grateful for the experience it has taught me, and the woman it's made me today. A little about my life in Australia; I had my most severe depression episode while I was there - my counse

processing bad stuff that happened to me

-
what happened to me was out of my control. it could have happened to anyone, but it happened to me. is it a result of my own actions? possibly, but unlikely.  i could say that i should have been more precautious during that time, but no one else was doing anything more than the precautions than i was taking. arguably, i was taking more precaution than your average joe. but it still happened to me. so, i can sit here and blame myself, and make me feel horrible for the kind of person i am, but that would be counterproductive, because if you go down that route, you won't come out with the intended learning.  i definitely have learned the hard way, that we have to reprimand people, eventhough it feels bad. i have done that actually, previously, but perhaps not the full extent. i could have assessed the situation better, and acted accordingly, but i was complacent, i admit as much as that. i was complacent. i wasn't selfish, or irresponsible, i was complacent. i was in the salon, an

When you're the toxic one.

-
Everyone always talks about how liberating it feels to walk out of a bad relationship, how much better your life is once you cut someone toxic out of your life -- and almost everytime when we read stories like this, we can't help but relate to their perspective, and seek comfort in it -- seek comfort in the belief that we were the ones who got hurt, we are the ones who's lives will get better, and we are the one who tried to make the relationship work.  Then one day, once you get tired of living a lie and playing the victim card, you slowly start to realize your flaws, one by one. And you start to remember how you let your flaws get the best of you back then -- how you let your flaws defined you as a person, and served as an excuse for the mistakes you did in the relationship. You start to realize your role in the shit storm that happened, and how you could've made things better, how you could've avoided so much pain from happening to yourself, and others, and how to
