/me REALIZING MY BIGGEST DECISION IS MY BIGGEST MISTAKE

April 2011. Summer classes. I worked for a photocopying center with one of my flatmates for me to pay for my tuition for that summer. My lodging was waived by our landlady provided we help her in chores during weekends. Yes. I skipped meals - I only ate dinner that time (actually that dinner was provided by my good Department Head when I was still in university). I managed to live on my own. I want to finish studies. I want to be what my heart desires.

May 2011. My dreams shattered. They say I should stop studying. They said I should come home to live with you that’s already pregnant and seeing someone. At that time I thought it’s the wisest decision to work and leave my dreams behind.

But looking back, all those decisions are the BIGGEST DECISIONS THAT I CONSIDER AS BIGGEST MISTAKES.

I should have continued studying. I let go of that scholarship just to work FOR you.

-else-

I should have worked for myself and lived on my own. Maybe if I did that I now have saved for myself.

I should have been more selfish. I should have thought of my growth first before you.

Why? All those struggles, all the harsh words and all those predicament thrown to me (and some slashed through me) is nothing compared to how you think of me. Others see my worth, the people who knows nothing about me sees my potential and my efforts - whereas you who I have served, who I have vowed my life to, who of all people I’d be willing to die for - you spit on me like I am just one piece of shit that stinks.

And what’s worse? Of all people who’d accept me for who I am, you spoke words as if my preference and my orientation is a contagious disease or a heinous crime.

I could never heal this wound. I could never be the same. And of all mistakes, it may have been your biggest mistake to have let me live.
