While cleaning the dust in my inbox, I happened to trip over this one:
This convo was last December 10, 2011. I said it and meant it as a joke, but thinking about it, maybe I'm a little mean? Considering I know how he feels about me and no matter how comfortable we are with each other maybe I have stepped on his boundaries. I said it not because I wanna hurt him, I said it to know how he would react. I pushed him to know how long he will hold on to me. And now all I think about is that I'm a jerk. Three years of pursuing is no joke and knowing that it is his first time to actually woo makes me a douche bag. But you can't blame me, I'm an insecure b****. I wanna be constantly reminded of how beautiful I am, every woman wants that right? I demand undivided attention and yes, somehow I'm hard to deal with. And I do have trust issues and testing his sincerity. I actually liked him, but not enough to actually say yes. But that was before.
Things changed since then. And it's amazing how time flies so fast. The man who've always said he would understand and love you whether you want it or not, in your ugliest or prettiest day. The man who've chased you for 3 long years is happy now with someone. And the girl whom he'd always wished would fall for him is now staring at his pictures as if that guy from then is a whole different man now.
Thinking deep about it, what do I want him to do in the first place? I just want him to be the man he proves to be. I want him to be the man that I could be proud of. The man that have dreams in life. And yes that is selfish. I should have asked myself, what can I do to make him happy? It is called relationship because it involves two individuals. Both of you are working, thinking, giving and receiving. You think of what makes him happy and he will do things that will make you happy. Not me, but him. Not him, but me. But baby it's too late.
It's amazing how much I believe in myself, how conceited, how naive, to think that he would actually wait for years that's uncertain.
This things just pop out of nowhere. Maybe they are one of my secret regrets in life. Pushing people thinking they're jerks, or they will just use you, or they're just having fun. But it turned out that you are one of those jerks yourself. Being too doubtful leads on hurting other people and yourself.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous or secretly wishing he will come back to me. (Hmmn, but that sounds delicious!) I'm happy that he is happy. I know that I am not yet ready for commitment and I'm afraid that I might hurt him as much as he could hurt me. So us having our separate ways is good in its own way. But those what ifs? Let me handle with that. It's been a year. I can live with it for more years to come.
