2022 in a nutshell
- Had my first Omakase experience; which cost my date $900 for 2 pax. It was so, so good. I will never forget how rich the uni was, the lobster broth and how fluffy abalone tempura could be
- Had my first cat-fished experience twice this year. One had no neck (and no, he isn’t fat) and the other had the audacity to meet me looking so far-fetched from his profile (he still had his jawline in his profile pic)!!!
- Had 2 dudes randomly deleting our entire convo on Telegram and un-matching me on apps IN THE MIDST OF A VERY ENGAGING CONVERSATION. Bro???
- Had 3 times Stay-home-notice when I have no covid.
- Had covid from clubbing after being successfully avoiding it for 2 years.

- Birthday was great - no need to wait for a girlfriend that is always late, and then I can’t be angry because it’s my birthday

- I need this year to end, ASAP.
I am so, so tired. It comes to a point where I don’t mind being taken out of this life - is living supposed to be this difficult though?
All the bad things must end with this year. 2022 shall be the WORSE year of my life and nothing more. I am done with hospital visits and calls. I am done with administrative work.

Are you in love? Or does he just need you, and you like being needed? Are you in love, or are you so tired of lowering the bar you have promised yourself - this is not the ground, it could go lower - as if being in the basement is comfortable enough. Is he good to you, or is he just sometimes good to you and that makes it “kind of count”. How many times have you asked him to change. And how many times has he stayed the same.

Sad
What do you do, when you’re sad?
Do you cry?
Do you scream?
How do you vent, this sadness - so much energy to try to breathe properly while crying, yet not having the energy to get out of bed to grab that tissue box that I desperately need.
How do you stop this throbbing feeling in your heart between wanting to wallow in self-pity and also wanting to get your shit together and just be ok?
So many questions.
So little answers.
Tender – Fear Of Falling Asleep (Henry Green Remix)
And as I lay here in my bed at night
The only thing that’s truly mine
Is my fear of falling asleep
And not waking up
on repeat.
Lonely
Tonight just feels so lonely it’s almost horrible to just be this sober at 1.53am.
For some funny reason I just had to go dig out some old wounds - and I don’t know am I doing this to feel alive or just pure masochism at work.
How long do I still need to go, to forget everything completely?
How I wish soma exists. How I wish I’m not who I am.
How I wish I didn’t exist.
