I'm tired. I'm exhausted. Carity was right. If you study for your parents, one day if your parents are gone, then you won't be able to continue studying any more. My parents are not dead, neither are they gone, but it's like I can't feel them there any more.
Today I quarrelled with my parents cause I went home late after singing karaoke. They were angry that I didn't tell them that I was going to sing karaoke. HELLO? They didn't receive the text okay! Is that my fault? Then they start to say that a girl shouldn't stay out too late etc. etc.
They said they were worried for me and weirdly, I felt satisfied. What the hell is wrong with me man? I feel like I'm going through this rebellious phase whereby I wish to make everybody worried about me by returning home late so as to test whether they even care about me at all.
Funny huh? They just realised that they don't even understand and know a thing about their youngest daughter at all. Ha. They actually asked me how was my results so far. HAHA. Did I answer them? NO. I didn't feel like it. What the fuck man. I waited so long for you to ask me this question since the first class test and it's only recently that you started showing concern for your daughter.
I know. Actually, deep down I truly understand. They love me and care for me, but you know, sometimes it just hurts so so much to see them expressing concern openly for my other siblings and not for me. Yesterday, I watched a veteran talking about suicide and here's what he said: It's not because you wanna escape your problems that's why you think of committing suicide. It's because sometimes the pain is just too much that the only way you can stop it is to shut yourself up.
What was the reason that I used to cut in the first place? Do you even know? Do I even know? Ha. I don't think anyone truly knows, or maybe I do really know but I'm just afraid to face it. How can I even accept that part of myself? How can I even accept myself? Do you know that feeling? That self hatred that is so intense that it just threatens to consume you whole? Sometimes when I'm talking with Nelli about committing suicide I really mean it. Seriously, what the fuck right? Like what the hell is wrong with me?
WHY AM I MOURNING AND GROANING ABOUT MY LIFE WHEN OTHERS HAD IT WORSE THAN ME??!! Everytime when I look at Carity, I remind myself how fortunate I am to have whatever I have and to appreciate it but right now, it's really not working. I try to be happy but the tears just keep flowing, what do I do?
Nelli asked, "Are you alright mimi?"
What am I supposed to answer? No. Your mimi is not alright, but you know the most amazing thing? She doesn't know what's wrong with her either. She is facing an identity crisis now. Wanna help her with it? HAHA. How can she even help? How can anyone even help me except for myself? It's like I'm sinking into this damn bloody black hole and I can't even pull myself up. I open my mouth to scream for help but my pride keeps my voice out. In the end, I just form a ridiculous picture. When will it end?
This freaking confusing feelings that I have now, what do they entail exactly? WHY CAN'T I JUST BE FUCKING SATISFIED WITH MY LIFE FOR ONCE? WHY DO I KEEP HARPING ON WHAT I DON'T HAVE? I HAVE A COMPLETE FAMILY. I HAVE GOOD RESULTS AND EXCELLENT FRIENDS. I HAVE EVERYTHING. WHAT THE FUCK AM I COMPLAINING ABOUT? what. the. fuck.
I really don't know either. I just feel pain everytime I come home to an empty house that I don't even wanna go home anymore. The hamsters are there but even they ignore me most of the time. I'm just forcing my affection on them. What for? I need someone to love, and I need that someone to love me just for who I am.
Stop saying that I'm too violent and vulgar. Stop saying that I'm just like a boy. Can't you accept that that's just who I am? I won't change for anyone. I tried and it hurt a lot. He didn't even notice the change. It's like I'm invisible in his life. It's like I'm invisible to everyone. I'm just a shadow in this world. When I die, I'll just become a statistic. Ha. A statistic. Turns out Mstats is useful after all huh?
Weirdly, as I type my feelings out, I feel calmer. Haha. Maybe it's because my heart has finally let out whatever has been cooping inside of it, I feel free now! Hahaha. I still can't smile now though. It's like there's no reason to smile anymore haha. (okay, maybe except for DBSK.) I don't know. Sometimes I feel like all that's keeping me sane is DBSK and my friends. Not my family. Never my family. They are what that's driving me insane. Oh. Okay. Maybe not all friends? Sheryl is a prime factor in my mental instability too. I mean after my friendship with her, I can't even trust any new friend that I make and that fucking sucks! I hate telling myself that she is not Sheryl and that she WILL NOT do that to me. Wounds leave fucking scars. Well, I've learnt my lesson aye?
This post is starting to sound like it will never end, haha. However, this is actually the reason why I didn't want to blog about my personal feelings on my blog these days. I didn't want to let this ugly side of me out. Look now! This ugly side of Amelia is up for exhibition. Please look, stare, observe and do the best that your eyes can do to gawk at this animal that has finally unleashed its inner beast! It's only for a limited period of time so get your tickets now. *commercial music plays*
HA. Why do I feel this urgent need to insert humour in this post? NO. SHOO DRAMATIC AMELIA! This is finally a chance for depressed Amelia to shine. GET LOST. *kicks dramatic Amelia away*
Okay, so now I'm feeling this weird numbing feeling within me. It's like I'm now numb to all pain. How cool~~ Haha. I can be Iron Woman~ ^^ tralalalalala~ But Iron Woman probably doesn't shed even a single tear right? Iron Woman probably doesn't even have feelings, haha. She will not feel suffocated by her parents' expectations. She won't have this constant overwhelming need to prove herself to her family and herself. She won't feel love-deprived and resort to drastic methods to gain her parents' attention. HAHAHAHAHA. I guess I'm really not Iron Woman at all huh? I totally fail the criteria, lol.
God, save this broken soul now please? I don't even know what I'm lacking. It's like my heart's crying out for a loss that I don't even know I have and it's driving me crazy. Please, help me? And to my friends, I don't even know what to say, haha. It's just pretty ironic that everytime I'm depressed, it's always Nelli who's asking if I'm alright. It's always her or either Michelle.
How did we end up like this, Tingwei, Yilian, Shimin and Sheryl? You four used to be the only ones who could tell if I'm happy, angry, sad or worried. You guys used to be sensitive to my emotions. Is it because I didn't tell you when I'm upset? Is it because I'm shutting myself off? Is it because of that? We're all distancing, can you feel that? I feel like I don't even know you guys anymore. Yes, some of you like Tingwei may have not changed, but did you notice? I've changed. I'm no longer who I was before.
The past girl was so innocent and naive. She thought that no matter what happened as long as she had her friends' and family's support she would be fine. She didn't know the meaning of the word betrayal or misunderstanding. She didn't understand the feeling of crying alone because she wanted to hide her tears even from herself. She didn't understand the reason for cutting herself. She didn't know what it was like to be empty. She didn't know that losing her passion could literally mean losing her life. She thought she was so strong. She didn't know that she was already crumbling inside. She thought she was alright. She didn't know she wasn't.
Her world is falling apart, and now she finally sees the cracks that were always there. Slowly, bit by bit, her world would surely topple, and she would be left with nothing. She starts to isolate herself and gradually stops talking to her friends about her feelings at all. She learns to fake a smile and pretends that everything's alright, fooling everyone and even herself. What an actress she has proven to be!
But she didn't know that the facade could not last. She did not know that there was always a 'cut' to any acting, and an ending to every show. A scene cannot play on forever, and acting cannot continue always. There was an end, and that end broke her. Now she can no longer act. Now she doesn't even know the reason for acting in the first place. She's hurting, but she doesn't know the reason why. She's afraid, but no one's there to comfort her, and she gradually learns her lesson. She is alone, and nobody can save her except for herself.
She's still struggling, but she swears never to ask for help. She has some friends who know that something's wrong but she just can't bear to tell them how she truly feels cause she doesn't even know the reason why.
*Wae: Korean word for why.
Wae? Wae? Wae? She keeps asking herself that question. She doesn't get herself either. Wae is she upset? Wae does she feel unloved? Wae is she bitching about her almost perfect life? Wae? Wae? Wae?
The night goes on with questions unanswered and the girl is left still troubled. In her heart, only one word remains:
WAE?
