HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
This is what I feel like telling you, but I wouldn’t dare to tell you face to face as this is my inmost feelings. If I were to tell you all these face to face, you’d most probably figure out what will happen, gotta prepare a few boxes of tissues. =p Without a shred of doubt, I do really owe a debt of gratitude to you.There’s really nowhere I can find such an aunt like you. You have been really kind to me all these while, I’m truly grateful to have you as my aunt. Sometimes, I do really wish that you are my mum.I know that’s a silly thought of mine.Frankly speaking, I don’t know if I ever could be this kind towards anyone if that person is facing what I’m facing right now.
The love that you and popo has given me, I truly appreciate. But no matter what, a family love could never be replaced by the both of you even though I don’t know how exactly a family love feels like, anyway, it’s okay, because nothing I do or say could bring back the old times which is 12 years ago, when everything seemed to be fine. Family love doesn’t really matter to me anymore, or I shall say, family love doesn’t exist in my world anymore. Or maybe, I was just meant to be alone. It’s all right. I know I should be grateful, because there are many other people out there who are even worse than me.I know I still have you, popo, and sarah as part of my small family, another small family which includes my friends. These 2 small families become a big family of mine. That’s my definition of a family. I gained something and I lost something, too. Enough is as good as a feast, I should be content with my life.
Somehow I know you are the one who gave me courage and support whenever I feel discourage, I know you gave me a lot of encouragement and even comforted me in a special and unique way when I was having a really hard time, especially when i need to go through lots of difficult struggles. I know you did all these in some way, I do really know about it, even though you didn’t tell me anything about it, nor did I tell you anything about it. But I do really know what you have done for me. There’s really nothing I can do to repay my gratitude towards you. What I can do is to try my best not to let you down. I don’t know if I have ever let you down so far. At this moment, what I can do is to complete my degree level, getting a degree level isn’t easy for anyone I supposed. What I know is it has never been easy for me, I really need a strong determination and motivation for it, to continue it. I’m really having a hard time for both studies and work. I’ve tried my best and put in the effort that I should, somehow, I know I didn’t put completely 100% of my effort in studies, in fact, I put more effort in my work because working hours occupied my time more than my studies, and this the fact. Well, there’s really nothing else I can do, since I’ve been like this for one and a half year, why not continue doing it?
I do obey every single of your words and advice so far, but there’s only one thing that I will never ever obey. I supposed you know about what. I’m really better off without her, much much more happier ever since then. Yes, unquestionably, my life is getting hell tougher, I have to face and bear down with every single thing alone. At least I’ve learnt some lessons which are good for me. To be honest, I’d rather to have all these silent sufferings than to live my life together with her. I’ve chosen my life to be like this, thus, I hope you’ll understand and let me live my life just the way I want it to be. I also understand that being a middle person is not easy. You know I’m such an adamant person, nothing anybody do will ever get to change my mind towards this matter.
Undeniably, I’m a person who emotionally breaks down very easily, I don’t know why.The older I grew up, the worst I’ve became. I bottled up my feelings, rarely I can turn to someone and spill out my feelings. And I feel weird to share my problems with you, somehow, I feel very awkward. Sometimes I personally think that somehow it ain’t good to tell someone else too much about your personal matters, because I’m afraid, and also, I do really care on how people are going to judge me. Well, the more you reveal yourself to someone, the more people will know about your weaknesses. I know that you and popo will never stay by my side for the rest of my life, in the end, I still have to go on with my life all by myself. At the end of the day, everyone will leave, there’s no such thing as forever.
It is not a good thing especially when you used to share your hard times with that only one person, because you tend to depend too much on that person. When that person you used to share all your sorrows with leaves you alone, that person will no longer be the one for you to share all of your hard times anymore, no longer be the one to listen all of your woes, and that’s when you have to suffer all alone. Just as you thought that person is gonna always be there for you, they no longer exist, that’s the most suffering part. I’ve learnt that I shall not rely or depend too much on anybody, because anybody will just walk out on my life without giving any warning signs, this is true. Therefore, I should learn to reduce my dependence on anybody. As I grow older, I realize that parting and leaving becomes a part of our life, and this is another learning phrase. Life is seriously so unpredictable, all of us will never know what will happen tomorrow.
Sometimes, I do really blame and wonder why I was the one chosen to face all these shits. But in the mean time, look at a brighter side, if all these had never happened to me, I’ll not be who I am today. What I have gone through all these while makes me who I am today. As the saying goes, “no pain, no gain”, this is real true. Instead of complaining and blaming for having such a life, I shall learn to take it as a gift. As I’m able to make it through all these, it actually takes me to climb up another higher level, which is also makes me a stronger person. However, I wish I was stronger and tougher, because i need to potray a "man" character, so that im able to protect everyone. HAHAHA! CRAP! well, i think i should learn to love myself more.
All right, I should stop with my “nenek cerita” here.
Once again, im here to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AH YI! Many many happy in returns! As what you taught me, we should live our present live to the fullest. Not forgetting to wish your hubby a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY too! May the blessings, joys and happiness fall upon the both of you, and also, may the both of you getting healthier day by day. :)
A cheerful person, i wish to be.
A mature person, i hope to be.
A better person, i promised to be.
Much loves,
Your adamant niece.
