How many months have passed since the last time I was here? I've not lost track of time, merely too occupied with the ticking clock. 
And too occupied with my immense pride. 

No, not only male has that pride and ego shit. If it's scientifically proven that only male has it, then I must be a male. How difficult it is to drop your pride and ego to admit you're in the wrong? For me, it IS difficult and I casually associate it to my "princess" attitude. C'mon, who am I kidding to even label this unlikable and juvenile attitude to "princess" when fairy tale is clearly a conjured up space. Nothing to do with being a princess or not, I am just being me, this immature side of me. 

I don't throw around the word sorry easily. It is a good thing if you look at it from this angle - I'm not that person who says sorry just to avoid any argument when I don't mean it from the bottom of my heart. But the reason I don't utter sorry is simply attributed to my highly held pride and ego. 

A night's sleep is therapeutic indeed. It wakes me up, non-literally. 
A wake up call. 
And I hope it's never too late. Because who knows when who will be tired of dealing with my shit and decide to make a move. 

People may say I've changed him, but the changes I've undergone because of him... I'm seeing a better me, for him and the ones who love me and I don't know how long I'd take to realize that I need to change if I was not with him. 

Sorry.
Sorry for doubting you. That's the last thing you deserve from me when you've never doubted me even when people around you said the worst of that me who was locking hands with someone else. 
Sorry for letting emotions get the better of my reasoning skill.
Sorry for not saying sorry earlier.
I'm learning to, as you can see.

I've to learn to be less resilient towards surgeries despite I'm not for the idea of them. By which, I mean plastic surgeries.

Events and experiences approach me for a reason; to give a twist to my perspectives. By learning to place much less emphasis on appearances, I've grown to watch out for more purpose defining issues in this society. This society that seems to view beauty in so many different ways, and I must say that it's all these vast views of beauty which have somehow contributed to people wanting to go for plastic surgeries or have already undergone it. I mean, if you've never ever heard/seen anyone said/wrote the non-exhuastive list below, would you really have given a second thought about your own appearance?

1. Double eyelids are gorgeous;
2. Having big boobs is the greatest gift in life;
3. High nose bridge is what I'd call perfect;
4. Puffy lips are way sexier;
5. I love big butts & I cannot lie;
(This list can go on)

If no one criticizes anyone's appearance, if everyone genuinely makes everyone around them feel like they're definitely beautiful in their own ways, would anyone still be dissatisfied with how they look? My pov is that more often than not, our definitions of beauty has been outrageously influenced by what the society is portraying to us. Even our perspectives have to be puppets of others, what's there that's left of us which can be truly & solely determined by ourselves without any curtailment?
