I’m free! I’m elated, but also, oddly apprehensive. Or at least I was last night. I fell asleep while watching YouTube, per yooz, but this time, I slept for an hour on the couch. Which made me think maybe I could go back to sleeping on the couch. Once I woke up, though, I was… Continue Reading
Today is the day. In seven-ish hours (by the time you read this, it will have been yesterday), I will be on the way to the airport and hopefully a few hours later, I will finally, finally, have the house to myself. It’s been three months since that fateful night that changed my life forever.… Continue Reading
One-and-a-half days to go until I am on my ownnnnnnnn….Now I have two songs I could use as the ‘before the cut’ video. The one based on the title, obviously, but also that first sentence. What to do? I could include both or just add a link here for the latter one. Lea Salonga, of… Continue Reading
My parents are suppose to fly back to Taiwan in two days. Except my father’s health is wobbly. He’s still experiencing dizziness on and off. From the outside, it seems more off than on because he can walk by himself, but who knows? I think they should still fly back and this is where it… Continue Reading
Three days. Barring my father’s health taking another nosedive or a positive COVID test, that’s how long I have until I can be on my own again! It’s been three months since I’ve been able to sleep on my own. As someone who is used to spending 95% of my time alone, this has been…hard.… Continue Reading
I’m unhappy. I don’t think that’s a surprise to anyone who’s been reading my entries for the past few weeks. I’m holding my breath and hoping that my parents will be able to fly out on Saturday, which is five days including today (Tuesday). I’m not very good at the end of things in general.… Continue Reading
Yes. Yes, I do. I have to believe in miracles because as one of the nurses who visited me at home said, I am literally a walking miracle. I was talking to my brother yesterday about what happened to me. It was in the context of how to talk casually upon meeting someone for the… Continue Reading
I’m hyped to be on my own again. It’s the way life was meant to be lived. And yet…. I’m nervous. I’ll admit it here. My system worked (calling the cops when I felt faint and Ian contacting my brother when he, Ian, hadn’t heard from me the next day). My brother found me and… Continue Reading
One week. Barring a positive COVID test, that’s how long I have until I get to return to my bachelor’s life. It’s incredible. At the six weeks to go mark, I was despairing of ever living alone again. Then, I realized it was only five weeks and suddenly felt freer. I don’t know why as… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I went to my brother’s for Thanksgiving (along with my parents). I wasn’t planning on going ,but my brother really wanted me to go because he had made too much food. That’s what he told me, but I knew that meant he wanted to see me. I was able to rebuff my mom asking… Continue Reading
