You're soooo sweet, my girl!

Buổi tối mẹ dạy con học tiếng Anh, đọc draw drew drawn mà mãi con đọc thiếu âm "d", lúc được lúc không làm mẹ hơi bực.

Xong đến lúc đi ngủ mẹ mệt, con mới thì thầm "draw" phát âm chuẩn, kiểu muốn xoa dịu cho mẹ đỡ mệt íh. Trời ơi sao con cute vậy con ơiiii

130 Days in Malta

February 24, 2024: Touchdown Malta

We came here with not enough pocket money, not enough winter clothes, no friends, and no idea where or what to do first. On our first week, we roamed around Sliema, got used to the place, got used to the weather, got used to the transportation, tried new restaurants, and of course, processed all the paperwork.

The second week, we were able to settle into our new flat and got excited the first 2 days. We get to cook our own food and no more resto-foods. Until I got bored and started to feel something was missing - friends, lots of it! So I decided to download Tinder, not to look for what it was intended to do but to look for new friends.

March 8, 2024: And so I met this guy

We matched on Tinder and had a good chat with him. He doesn't seem like a perv. He asked me out for dinner, and I agreed. He picked me up, had dinner, had a good talk, a little tour around Sliema, and dropped me off. To be honest, in my 36 years of existence, that was my real date. Well, there's always the first time.

March 9, 2024: The Beginning of It All

As I have told you, we don't have enough pocket money for this Europe life. We're on our last euro and we're just in the middle of the month. Ana and Tita Jess decided to buy Tequila (always bound to wrong decisions), then when we were almost drunk, we decided to invite over my very first friend in Malta, the gentleman Indian guy, with the hopes of him bringing along his other friends and more booze. To more friends, salud!

It turned out, he's kind of an introvert so he didn't bring along any friends, but hey! He brought Vodka, that will do - and that's when it started.

March 19, 2024: Holiday - No work, 2nd Date

So I got bored. Again. Asked him for lunch. Got to know him better. There are signs of a little red flag (existing soul-mate) which I thought was in India but turned out also living here in Malta.

So the chatting continued until I realized I was kinda into him. He's gentleman, he's sweet - he went to our house to let me see the moon and he was under the tree, waiting for me to go to the balcony, he took me to beautiful places here in Malta, and I started being competitive with this existing soulmate. My stupid mind was into it! I had a goal to get his 100% attention, I wanted it all. I didn't like the idea of him having other dates. Besides, my adjustment phase of living in a totally different country was taken out from me, in a very good way of course, and I want it to stay like that forever.

Weeks passed. Weekends usually start on Wednesdays til Sundays, I've been drunk texting him almost every freakin' night. I laughed, cried, had butterflies, didn't sleep, got me smiling like crazy, etc. - it was a roller coaster ride in just 2 months.

More than Friends, Besties

June was still a roller-coaster ride. Every weekend we're together, cooking, drinking, watching sunsets and the full moon on top of the world, waiting for sunrise, binge-watching, star-gazing on the rooftop, and talking while cuddling. This is when I realized I was not in love with him, I was attached to him - meaning, I'm happy and at peace when I'm with him, and when we're not together, I'm a wreck. It's like my world starts to revolve around him. Which shouldn't be the case.

I was used to being single for 6 years. I enjoyed doing things I love without getting permission from anyone. I enjoyed meeting and mingling with other people without worrying about someone's feelings. I enjoyed staying out late with friends. I enjoyed being single and being happy just by myself.

I tried my best to accept that we wouldn't be together, that someone else had his heart, that never will I ever be part of his future plans. He said it, loud and clear. I can still hear every word - it still echoes in my head. I know I have to let go.

You will always be my incomplete favorite wish.

Is my happiness enough to stay? Or is it sufficient for me to let go if it’s the only thing I’m holding on to? We're starting to drift apart. I can tell. We're no longer asking how our day was. No constant texting. No longer giving updates on what we're currently doing, where we are, and who we're with.

I set a day to be our last day, June 16th - our 100th day, because I was hoping that by this day, you’ll get to like me, fall in love with me, and even choose me. But I was wrong, instead, I was the one falling in love with you every day. Whether you spent the whole day not texting me or being on the phone with her, I still like you. I’m still falling in love with you. And I still choose you. I thought it was just because I was in a foreign land where I didn’t know anyone or had no diversion that’s why I was falling in love with you, but no. I know what I feel and I was sincere about it.

I thought i was selfish for wanting you to want me so bad. But it turned out it was her who’s selfish for not letting you go. You always tell me to be “present”. I am. You’re the one who’s not. You’re the one living in a parallel universe where it’s just you and her.

I hope, next time you see me, i won’t be in love with you anymore. I’m raising my white flag, this battle i’m fighting alone is over. I’ve worn myself down. I am exhausted making myself worthy for you, so this is my surrender. She won.

I know it will be so damn hard to forget you. You have her and your friends, and I only have you. You’ve been so transparent with me since time immemorial. I’m the one who disregards all the red flags and insists on being with you. I wish you nothing but happiness.

The real goodbye is the one that happens slowly. Overtime. Wordlessly. There is no "see you again". There are no future plans. You stop checking up on each other. And eventually, you go back to being strangers.

So this is me from ignoring everyone else just to be available for you, to being available to everyone else just to forget about you.

What makes me happy? This guy. And this guy. And cartoons. I didn't enjoy the #100daysofpositivity as much as I anticipated I would. So I quit. If something, within reason, makes me unhappy, I don't have to be bothered with it. Neither do you. MotS: Do what makes you happy. #day28 #deadtheneg #100daysofpositivity #100daysofhappy or I guess #28daysofpositivity #28daysofhappy since that's all I had for y'all 😫😂 #mybestfuckingself #yourbestfuckingyou

#day2 and I'm already struggling with #100daysofhappy. Even this post is bittersweet. I've loved this song forever and have fond memories of high school, singing along in the car, windows down on fall nights. Tom Petty's voice has always conjured crunchy leaves and sweet woodsmoke, and that feeling of endless blacktop stretched beyond the horizon. Thank you for the music. #RIPTomPetty

Do you prefer single, dual or multiple POVs in books??🤔 . I love multiple POVs (point of view? But it truly depends on the book and story. Sometimes I don’t like going back and forth reading different POV but other times I don’t just want to read from one person’s POV, I want to see the other side of the story too. When I like all the characters, I love to hear from all but often times, I fall in love with one character or maybe two characters and would want to just read from just them🙈😁. Mostly, dual POVs is definitely the best option. . But truth really is, Single, Dual or multiple POVs works for me as long as it fits and works for the storyline/narrative and it makes the whole experience better ❤️❤️ .

100 Days of Writing: Day Two

Courtesy of @the-wip-project. Also tagging fellow participants @thelittlefanpire @she-who-the-river-could-not-hold and @hopskipaway but lmk if you’d like to be added to or removed from this list!

Today I will be following the prompt:

For your current WIP: What motivates you to write this specific story? What makes this story special for you? Is there a special twist/trope/setting you want to explore? What got you started on this particular story?

And this time I will be talking about And They Lived: A Sleeping Beauty AU because it’s as current as WIPs go.

Embarrassingly, I started this story because it was requested. By an anon in 2017 so... they’re probably not interested anymore. The request was just for Bellarke and Sleeping Beauty, and then I made it ambitious (as one does) and then got overwhelmed (as I do).

What’s motivating me to work on it now and to try to finish it is a combination of stubbornness, a sense of obligation, and the sunk cost fallacy tbqh. I wrote 4 1/2 out of 6 chapters. I posted 2 chapters. I just can’t justify doing all that work and NOT finishing, even though the work that remains is not insignificant--I’m bad at predicting word counts but there could easily be another 20k between where I left off in 2019 and the as-yet-unwritten end.

I also feel bad about posting part of a story and abandoning it. Only so bad, but bad.

I think the concept of the story is interesting and ambitious--a fairy tale merged with a modern AU merged with a canon-verse story, mixing in fantastical and sci fi elements in a completely unhinged way--and if I can finish it and post it all, I’ll be really proud that I did it. I see all the story’s flaws and I am, at least right now, very critical of it, but it’s one of those fics that... at least I tried.

I had this idea in 2020 that I would write more “weird stuff,” that I’d push myself more to do creative concepts instead of sappy relationship vignettes (NOTHING wrong with those, I had just done a lot of them, for various reasons, and was getting bored) and then I kinda didn’t do that because... 2020. But actually the Sleeping Beauty AU IS one of those fics, I just haven’t given it enough credit for its weirdness or its ambition.

My favorite part of it is still and probably will always be the first chapter though. I don’t even know why... it’s a terrible way to start a fanfic because it focuses on characters who disappear entirely by the middle of the second chapter, is not overly shippy, takes place before either of the two parts of the main (and very popular ship) are even BORN, and doesn’t even represent the main setting(s) of the rest of the story. But I think I did a decent job of mixing the ordinary with the foreboding, and the last scene with Kane and Abby is awesome imho. Definite Mood. Exactly what I wanted.

Getting OT now so I’m just gonna wrap this up! The end!

Hạnh phúc nhất là khi...

Đêm nay mình lại tỉnh, sau khi ngủ được 2 tiếng. Làm linh tinh rồi ngồi thiền. Chỉ ngồi 2-3' thôi mà nước mắt trào ra không ngừng...

Mình biết rồi!

Nếu muốn sống ở thời gian nào nhất, đó là tuổi thơ bên bà ngoại, nhổ tóc sâu cho bà, nhìn cái sân bay trên đầu bà. Trong trí nhớ này, con bé Linh cũng rất hiếm khi cãi bà.

Mình nhớ món bò kho của bà, ô mai khế của bà...

Nhớ nụ cười răng đen của bà...

Bà ngoại chắc luôn là tình yêu thương lớn trong đời. Ai có bà ngoại cũng thật là hạnh phúc nhỉ.

Còn có bà ngoại là được blessing biết bao.
