BREATHE.

I told him last night. I told him it doesn’t seem right. I told him it seemed that he doesn’t know what he wants. I told him it wasn’t working and I need a week off from him.

I know I wasn’t being overdramatic last night. It’s a week past ‘that time of the month’ so I knew I was off the hormonal surge.

Funny how it seemed easier than I thought it would be. I’m just quite glad it finally came out of my mouth. I guess it finally hit me. I gave him a chance to prove himself… but it’s just not it. It’s just not it. No matter how much I tried, it’s just not it. He’s not the one.

On the phone last night:
Apol: So… Are you okay?
Bungi: Yeah. *giggles* Are you okay?
Apol: No.

*Dead air*

Bungi: You should get some rest now. You have to get up early tomorrow. 
Apol: I know.
Bungi: Alright, good night pol. I love you.
Apol: Good night, Ngi.

I put down the phone feeling quite good thinking, “It feels really good to not say things that I really don’t mean anymore.” It feels good not to  pretend. It feels good not to lie.

I woke up today feeling refreshed and happy. Really happy. For some reason, I can breathe.

I hope I’ll get a clearer head this weekend when we get to talk face to face. I hope I get to have the strength to not have anyone again. I hope he won’t do things sweet or he’ll make it harder for me.


“Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”
