Last Day of 2020

2020.
It's been a "special" year where I can go full on my solitude and healing. 
The year where I learn to let go and to welcome new people, new chances.
The year where I can go being mindful and at peace.
 
2020.
It's pandemic. Never in a million years did I think I'm gonna experience this in my lifetime. Joke on us, human around the world was thinking it's gonna last only 2 weeks. 2 weeks became 2 months. Let's hope it's not gonna hit 2 years. Not really optimistic about this one though. It's almost a year and we've seen no exit..yet. Hang in there, pals. We're all this together. I am doing my own part. How about you?
 
2020.
The year where I realize I can't hold something I thought valuable while it keeps cutting me.
I made it valuable. I valued it. At some point - or even since beginning (?), it's growing its thorns. My hand kept bleeding. I made myself bleeding. It was my choice. I thought it's gonna stop bleeding. I was wrong.
 
2020.
The year where I am bettering myself at boundaries. Saying what I really mean. What I want. Bettering at communicating. Saying No as a No. Yes as a Yes. I stand for myself.

2020.
The year where I can learn myself, my likes and dislikes, my inner child, my fear, my dream, and my triggers. Learning more about my attachments.
Being alone in pandemic throughout the 2020, I tried to start over. Everything. E v e r y t h i n g.
I finally do what I had refused to do all this time. I try new things and new interest. I give myself another chance to grow. Grow as a better version of my old self.

2020.
The year where I can finally forgive myself. My mistakes I thought unforgivable. Things that made me stopping or slow my pace. Back and forth. I've let myself hurt by my own anger for myself. Saying I don't deserve forgiveness. I was too hard on myself. Too hard, I can't even comprehend why I did that to myself. It ruined my peace and my sanity.
 
2020.
The year where I love myself and others. The year I let others love me. The year I let my guard down. People say I am too picky. I am not. I am selective. I know what I want and need. I need to know them first. Trusting other human being is hard after being trapped with liars. This year, I open my heart. I let people in. Learning them is fun. Different people, different characters. I don't put pressure on myself. I see them as they are. If we're vibing and getting along well, we can go further. No rush. 

2020.
The year where I finally..yes finally can commit to workout daily. It's been good. Starting since November 2020, up until this post, I am still on track. Yay! Taking care of myself this year. I've been eating no good this year. I ate what I was not supposed to eat. Eating while staying at home (pandemic), what did I get? Gaining weight. 6 kgs in total.. in a year. No, not even a year. I could say it happened since June 2020. Worry not, the workout works like a charm. I've seen good progress. Gotta stay consistent. I'll see what it can offer and what I can do in the future. This year, I write in the back of my mind, I get to do good things so my future self can thank me. I have an important homework though, getting my sleep schedule like other "normal" human being. Being friendly with my circadian rhythm. I sleep for 7-8 hours daily, but still.. the schedule. Eum, working on it! Hehe

2020.
They year where I accept myself as I am. As a whole human being with soft rocky heart and thoughtful busy mind. As a whole human with imperfection in attitude, behavior, and looks. I am bettering myself. Accepting and embracing all the feelings. Allowing myself to learn triggers that can make me sad, happy, confused, joy, scared. I am learning.

2020.
I am at peace and at ease.
 
Last day of 2020,
as I am typing this, I was left in the cold. Waiting for someone to write me back. I've been waiting since 6 pm. I was supposed to meet him today. Where is he? Is he okay? I don't know. He's gone into the thin air, I guess. What a day to end this year, huh?
 
It's okay. I hope he's good, there.
I'll be spending today alone, just like my others "happy new year."

Thank you, 2020.


Hey, 2021.
Buckle up!

Confrontation

This is it, huh?
The last straw
The very fucking last straw

The audacity..
The lies..
Why?
WHY?
W H Y?

How come I've tolerated it all these times?
How come?!
My intention was pure

The confrontation..
I gained my strength to open
the bottle of layers of questions
I finally did it

I did it with no hesitation

I didn't give myself enough credit
for getting treated like this

The only apology I owe was only for myself
I've let myself got into bottomless hole
I've been digging the dirt too far
Barely see the sunlight
Only darkness
Only looking for an emotional vampire
What did I get?
Getting my soul sucked

I had enough
Enough is enough
Crawling back to witness the sunrise
Too pitch black in here
I stop looking
I don't want it anymore
This is exhausting

A start over awaits
A brand new day is approaching

I deserve healthy love
Healthy love exists

And no..
I won't settle for less anymore

 Bye.

The Answer

Is this the answer I've been looking for?
I can't make this up
I know this is it
Clear as day now

Is this the answer I've been digging all this time?
Collecting maps of never ending tunnel
Well..I thought it has no ending

I was wrong
I was wrong for thinking it needs another months

I was right
I was right all along

Numb is an understatement
Relief is beyond blessed

But, is it really the answer?
I need to check one last list.

Pandemic

So here we go..
How long does it take?
The atmosphere is tensed
No one has been trying to go out

Everyone left, too
Looking for safe haven
I could hear fallen needle
Silence is scary

I've been friends with silence
Been a good friend
Is this gonna be another food for my solitude?
Been staying at home intentionally

Feels like this is not gonna be a short one..

Set it Free 🕊️

The last time I went through this
I was unsure either

I know I've seen the clearer pictures
The hints I saw scattered around
Yet I chose to ignore so I can be... optimistic

"The time will come."

A lot of questions stranded in the back of my mind
It's like a handful of sand
Looks quite small but contained a million sand just like my questions

"I need more time," I said to my inner self.
"Maybe it will change."
She gave me more time than I asked

All of these only leave a big hollow of hope
It hurts but windy and cold

This ain't gonna work
This ain't gonna go anywhere

How can a human be so selfish?
It's all about them
them and them only
Thinking the world revolves around them
Never truly care about anyone else
Using every souls
they can take advantage of
until the souls feel so drained

This is exhausting
This is tiring
This is intoxicating

If all of these are truly real,
I don't need to assume
I don't need to conclude by myself
I won't confused
They will let me know only
when the actions get along with the words

I can't trust anyone else right now
I feel like I don't know anyone else

And it made me so certain this time
that..

I've made up my mind
I've let that go and set my mind free
I won't ever think about it again

As of right now..
I just want to be under
a few layers of
my big thick warm blankets

I need some rest.

Confusion

One day I feel..
"this is it!
This is what I'm looking for."

The other day I think,
"Why would I even bother?
They don't even confirm by words what they are doing to me."

I could just translate their actions
to many things
I need confirmation

Say it.

I don't want to think it's the thing
what my mind wants to hear
and despise other possibilities

Say it.

God, they probably never even thought about it

How do I Feel?

Lack of sleep
Wake up in the middle of the night
Not even eating lunch anymore
How does it feel now?
How does the food taste during the midday?
I don't remember..

Confusion
Been trying to untangle the strings
Strings inside my foggy brain

One step at a time
One step at a time
Too hard on my self

Looking back,
What was I thinking?

Looking at it now,
Why would I think it now?

It's a never ending cycle.

Embrace it
Embrace it
Accept it
Accept it
It will be getting lighter
I'll watch the sunrise again
I'll get my sun bathing session again

Reset?
