A letter not for me

Dear (name has been deleted for his protection),


All the best for your exams.

I am sorry things have come down to this, I wish they hadn't and I wish we both could both be mature adults and talk about this in a calm and collected manner. Obviously not all of us have moved on to phase two of their young adult life. It is disappointing to know that you hold so much anger for me and if you really wanted my happiness, you would be happy.

I am sorry if I led u to think otherwise. Your mother hates me? Good. My parents do not hate you at all. They just feel that we do not mesh well together. The reason they aren't so friendly? They have nothing to say, so why bother? Pse do not say hurtful things unless you mean them.

And if you do mean them, then I'm sorry it has come down to this. Sorry we cannot be friends like before. Sorry we cannot even be civil to each other. IF losing you as a friend means that your life is devoid of dramas, then so be it. The sacrifices we have to make.

I had strong feelings for you once. So strong I would have done anything and everything. And maybe that was my shortcoming. For letting myself live for one person and not for myself. I live for myself now.

I have made mistakes in my past, mistakes I cannot erase but I would like to move on from. Everyone is a sinner, no one is a saint. I admit I have been fucked up. I have lied, cheated, backstabbed, bitched everything. And so has everyone. So who is anyone to tell me about what a rotten person I am? Who are you to criticize my actions or the fact that I am dating again?

It would've mattered had we sat down like normal people at a normal time, not when we're working or having lack of sleep, and you speak to me about your concerns about the way I'm living my life but because of the way the day has unfolded, it doesn't matter anymore.

It doesn't matter because you do not respect me now, and you never have. You want to talk about respect? You never respected me, and perhaps, that could be why as time went on, I lost respect for you. Our relationship was a foiled attempt at making love WORK when we come from two very different worlds.

This doesn't change the fact that you once were held dear to my heart and that nothing meant more than seeing you after you finish work. That was then, life was different. We can look back and say, how come it can't be like that anymore, but don't u see? It can't ever again because it is over. And life wasn't a bed of roses then either. We had so many issues, and we weren't happy. Do we want to subject ourselves to unhappiness based on a vague memory we have of something that was a year ago? I should think not.

On the subject of respect, if you have read the email until here, then a pat on the back for you. That shows you have respect for what I have to say. you actually are bothered to listen. Thank you for giving me that. Watching you mature and change has at times made me feel sad that I wasn't there to see you pass all your exams, wasn't there to share your bday with you, didn't have u when I was buying my first car, my first house... and moving into my new life. Definitely, there is a twinge of sadness when I think about the beautiful relationship we did have. And no matter what you say, nothing will discount the memories.

This is too long I think and I have spent the whole morning not working. please do NOT cost me my job.

Regards,

Sad sAD SAD


Tonight I can write the saddest lines

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example,'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

This is new, let's see what we can do about it.

Recently I've been seeing so little of her but that made me think more about our relationship and how it is progressing.

She said when I was in France she has learned to be more independent. She realized that phone call, physical prescence or not the relationship would still be there.

Although I really miss the communication and closeness, but I guess the honeymoon phase is over right? Does this mean our relationship has matured or has it become stagnant?

This is my outlook...

Our relationship is just like a pendulum. It will swing towards me and I will feel very close and loved like during our chalet BBQ, daily telephone calls and emails. But the pendulum will swing away and you will be distant from me. During this times I feel neglected, ignored and unloved like when I can't reach you or when you're mad at me.

But this pendulum is connected to a line! As long as the line is not broken or cut it will swing back! And I will feel close to you and we will be happy together again!!! :)


This line is our shared memories and experiences. The love care and concern both of us had contributed to the relationship. It holds us together!

miss you dear... you're still close to my heart. swing back to me soon

Feel much better this week after clearing much of my school work deadlines.

First 3 sets ran with the RJC boys. I was runnin with them and they were having a bad day at training. dunno why but they were off the pace so after finish the 3rd set I just went ahead on my own.

The air was quite heavy in the forest due to the rain. It was quite hard to breath.

I will be thinking about my options.

WTF Valentines day break up

Have you ever been dumped right before your birthday? On New Year's Eve? Maybe even on Valentine's Day? It's not as uncommon as you might think. Did you know that special occasions could actually invite breakups to occur? Reports from readers at MarsVenus.com indicate that relationships are more likely to disintegrate during the week surrounding Valentine's Day than any other week of the year. If you've seen your relationship fall apart around a big event in your life, you are not alone!

Holidays and personal milestones are prime times to assess where you are in life and where you want to be. Many people's relationships become routine and they move along, day by day, without much reflection about their happiness. When a birthday, anniversary, or holiday approaches, the break in routine and the stress we often feel invite us to take a step back and do some soul-searching about our lives. What were you doing this time last year? Did you share a dream-come-true Valentine's Day celebration, but realize that you haven't felt the same since? Or do you recall feeling uncertain about your partner at your last birthday, and you can't believe that another year has passed, and you don't feel any more hope that you're with your soul mate? Where had you hoped to be at this point in your life?

It is very common for breakups to occur just before, after, or even during special events in your life. Sitting alone on your birthday can certainly be devastating; however, if you or your partner decides at an awkward time that your relationship isn't working, don't despair. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you, or even that they've timed it to be cruel - deep down, it's probably an issue of compatibility. That may seem like little solace to someone tearing through tissues like there's no tomorrow, but take it from the relationship experts: it's not that you're not right: you're just not right for this particular partner!

It might seem ridiculously callous to split up on Valentine's Day, or your birthday, or at any other important time, but deep down, would you really want to spend a romantic day deepening your attraction to someone who's realized that you're not the one? As much as it hurts right now, it's probably better than the alternative of being given false hope that the relationship would survive.

When a couple finds they're no longer compatible, it's time to part as friends and start looking elsewhere. Everyone deserves to be cherished and adored, and if this last relationship didn't measure up, it just means that the uncertainty phase of dating did its job, and you'll have a better idea next time of what you're looking for.

Readers tell us all the time that they feel like there's something wrong with them because their relationship fell apart - especially when important events approach. After all, who wants to go to their sister's wedding without a date?? And what kind of partner would split up with you two weeks before the rehearsal dinner? Was s/he trying to hurt you even more? The truth is probably no. S/he has just come to the realization that it's time to go your separate ways.

How will you go on? It often takes more courage to be alone than to hang onto a partner you're not compatible with. In the long run, you'll be glad you did. Will you ever find your soul mate? Yes, you will. When you're ready to start looking again, follow this simple formula for success:

  • Decide what traits you're looking for in a partner, and be sure they're realistic.
  • Know which qualities you're willing to negotiable on, and which are deal-breakers
  • Give anyone who meets 75% of your requirements a chance - and that means at least two dates! Many people need a do-over after the first date. Give him/her the benefit of the doubt if things aren't perfect at the first meeting.

You will be successful! Breaking up is hard to do, and a good healthy cry will do a body good. Remember that Special Occasion Breakup Syndrome is more common than you may think. The timing may seem brutal, but once you're able to dry your eyes long enough to see that the sky's still blue, take some comfort in knowing that it's completely normal. And, remember: everyone makes mistakes while searching for the right person. Dating is full of ups and downs, but the difference between success and failure is being able to learn from our mistakes in order to become more discerning. If you focus exclusively on hitting a home run, your chances of striking out go up significantly. The secret to success is to get up and keep going. You can do it. Once you do find your soul mate, you will look back and realize that the unfortunate breakup really did happen at the right time for you.

Comments:

Took 10mins to set up all 4 steeple barriers. Track was relatively empty so could set up on lane 1-3. No backache after carrying the barriers.

I started at 120m mark to compensate for the exclusion of the water jump stretch. The barriers were placed at their official marked positions.

First 2 intervals i was stepping instead of clearing them, the rest of the intervals i cleared them with either foot. although i still prefer to use left leg as lead foot. Quite relaxed while clearing.

Wore steeple spikes.
