Things are never easy. I cry most of the time though I'm a big girl now. Most importantly, my emotions are more in control now. Being an adult sucks. Falling in and out of love sucks. Feeling sorry most of the time is even more traumatic. Anyhow, memories are still made.
I love this guy too much to let him go just like that. I'm still cautious but I'm still in love. He means everything to me. Yes, there were a lot of misunderstanding, a lot of screams, a lot of crying and even sighing. Almost 11 years knowing this guy made me realise that I cannot simply take my life for granted. He was there during every cut I had on my hand. He was there during every rage and outburst I had. He was there when I was the weakest. Some of the time he was there as the cause and some, as the solution. My friends call me an idiot to stay in this relationship cause they saw the bad things that happened to me from him cause I hardly show them the good things he made. I was gatekeeping that's for sure. I'm too scared to show because the last time I did I almost lost my life and him. I want him in my life. Be it good or bad I still want him. So what if it's toxic, nothing on earth is not toxic -except non-toxic crayons. Frankly speaking, nothing on earth is challenge-free. He is the reason I want to get well. He is the reason I want to survive and see my future. He is the person that held my hand through thick and thin. He was the only one who saw me at my worst and didn't leave. He saw the monster in me that nobody knew about. He stayed anyways. He never once said he wants to end things. I was the only one who could not bear to see him with me and my monster. I was scared he'd run away or couldn't stand it. He always agree to what I say. He always know what's in my head. He always recognise when I'm gonna split. 11 years is long. At times I felt like I wasted my years with him, at times I see that I've wasted his years but most of the time, I saw that those long years was how I grew up with him. I love him unconditionally. I'll be lying to myself if I say I hate him. I have never once hated him. I might said it but I have never felt it. Yes, he is dumb and annoying but he'll always be the one I run to when I'm in need. That promise I had with myself when I was 15 still has not been broken. I never did fell in love with someone else after him. He was not my first love but surely the last.
Happy birthday Bulat. May your years be filled with blessings and happiness. Always remember that I never did and will hate you. You will always have a special place in my heart. Always.
