It’s so wrong and yet so apt to feel so reluctantly unhappy, yet blissfully happy in this relationship.
I’ve asked myself many times (old habit) that if I had the choice of a guy who can have all of his good qualities and more, would I choose him or that guy, the answer is always the same. Yet, at times, I feel so deprived in this relationship, so unsatisfied sometimes. He always managed to take my mind off things but the thoughts come back once again, always.
I’ve always managed to somehow analyse all my thoughts and know exactly the reason why I act or feel in a way, so hence a blog, to break them all down so I can analyse even more. ha ha.
The reason why I feel deprived is partly in general due to the age difference. Not the literal thing but rather as a consequence. Due to him being older, he will be andi is working his ass off day and night. I cannot demand his time like a normal girl of my age can in that sense. In a way, our relationship is more mature than it is supposed to be, not that it is necessarily good or bad. Good more I guess. Anyway, we hardly if ever go out, not that the both of us particularly like to go out to shop or whatever, but sometimes, you just feel the need for a breather or some, and he is always so tired or busy or troubled. The weight of our relationship is so heavy sometimes. I guess it is rather frivolous of me because sometimes I feel the need to be a teenager again, to just forget about money woes, or whatever not and just go shopping and stuffs. For him, however, it’s always about worries. Loans, bills, problems…
Most of our quarrels, if not all, are due to the fact that he is always so busy with work and I just want to spend some time together. Now he has dragged me into this whole saga and I find myself busy with work commitments, studies, exams, attachment and so on…
I was remarking to him some time back about how we were rich in our own rights when we weren’t together, but now that we are, we are deep in debt. ha ha.. in a way, we spend more as a couple than we ever do (most of the time) alone.
but the thing perhaps I like most about him or about our relationship rather, is the fact that I can talk about stuffs to him, without the usual “wth, why are we talking about such chim stuffs,” and so on. It’s like we can discuss religions, history, politics and everything and it’s always so meaningful and enriching. We share similar beliefs and we aren’t anal about most stuffs which make us perfect disccusion mates.
Anyway, the point of this post is because perhaps due to him being so busy recently and me as well, I find myself occupied with watching Taiwanese dramas on youtube which led me to think of someone I haven’t quite thought about for some time. Oh well, I always find it amazing how I can remember someone’s birthday for the past 5 years maybe and suddenly I didn’t even remember his birthday until a day later in 2006.
The power of distractions is so damn great. When I’m busy I just forget about everything in the world. Not that I’m missed much. I mean my friends have their own lives to lead and perhaps if they didn’t understand me well enough they would assume I didn’t give a damn about them. Shrugs. I tried. I tried to remember. To ask after. Bad memory is my woe..
That day I did remember and so I asked after a few people. This friend replied in a rather bland, i-rather-not-talk-to-you, i-don’t-really-know-you that-well tone and I continued to sound so chirpy I feel like slapping myself. because seriously I make the effort but you just don’t respond. You can never please everyone I guess.
Anyway maybe we are just too different I guess. When I have problems, which usually flood me most of the time anyway, I tend not to make a big deal out of them because like it or not it’s going to be here. Some people however, will make a great deal out of it and make it sound like a life-threatening situation. Anyway it’s different from complaining. I like to complain as well so I don’t mind when people complain but just don’t really like it when people allow others to see their weaknesses in a bad way. Argh no idea what I’m saying.
Nowadays, I tend to be more cold to people, whether I know them well or not because I’m tired of being nice to people and showing them the real side of me and them coming to backstab you or criticise you and stuffs. I’ll rather be called a loner or whatsoever than having to undergo all those stuffs that I can really do without. I mean even him sort of backstab me once and I had to chant to myself that no one’s perfect and I should accept him as he is to prevent myself from telling him I want to break up and to be able to forgive him and look past all of the stuffs.
I think I’m better off watching the Taiwanese dramas, at least I won’t be so troubled and think too much.
Anyhow if anyone bothers to read this, would you pleasee leave your birthdays as a comment with your initials or something because frankly I don’t remember Alan’s hp no. even though I call him like at least 4 times a day and of course I won’t be able to remember my friends’ birthdays. bane of my life..
