Have you ever known someone so well that,


you could tell that he is lying even though he tries to provide you with all the proof in the world? You can read him like a book, and you can tell something is not right even through a text. Every gesture and reaction of him reflects his state of mind; as if you have a handbook that you know by heart for this person. 
I woke up at 8 today, spent 30mins staring at the ceiling. Last night before I went to bed, I was hoping that today would be a new day, that things would get  better in the morning and I would be able to cope with the emptiness. 
But they didn’t. 
I am still so sure of what has been lingering on my mind. I believe in myself. I do not start an argument unless I know I am right. It broke my heart that you blew all the chances that I gave you. Yes, you were right. It wasn’t a big deal. It really didn’t matter. By all means, a relationship should not be based on what you see on a social networking website. I wasn’t mad about that; I was upset to see how different you became when I tried to talk to you about the issue. Instead of explaining it to me, you made me feel stupid. You twisted everything around, and made me sound like I was the rowdiest, the most insecure and self-conscious person ever. Your attitude scared me, the instant transformation made me wonder what would happen down the road. You protected your pride, and crushed mine into pieces.
Recall how broken I was after my former relationship, I told myself I wanted to be with someone completely different. I told myself to forget about the external qualities, to neglect my ‘type’ for someone that I could rely on, that would truly appreciate my faithfulness, someone that wouldn’t take things for granted. I came across you; I thought you had what I was looking for. So I made it easy for you, at the same time I wanted to give myself a chance to slowly re-build confidence in this crazy game. 
I guess we both decided to see past each other’s flaws, and came to a decision that we wanted to start something new with each other. No matter how bad things got or how things weren’t working out in my favour, I tried. I slowly got used to constant disappointments and your laziness. I somehow always managed to make up new excuses for you, as well as new ways to understand you. Surprisingly, I also found a couple good traits of you along this journey, which was also part of the reason that kept me going. The more I did, the higher my tolerance became. Because I wholeheartedly believed that, you had always been real and sincere with me. At the end of the day, I would do the same. If not, even more.
Yes, nothing really happened. But it was really pathetic that you didn’t see what I saw. I don’t believe caring about my relationship should be called being insecure. Everything is so fragile nowadays, being proactive does not make me a crazy individual. It’s going to be too late if you wait till things happen. I wasn’t trying to tear things apart to analyse and judge you. All I needed was a reason, I was just curious. But you wouldn’t even see eye to eye with me. This is hurtful. 

I thought I would have been able to prove everyone wrong; turned out I should have listened. How sad.


OKAY CRYSTAL, PICK YOURSELF UP AND GET INTO EXAM MODE! 4.0 I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE!
“Stop putting other people first, give yourself some time.”
p.s. I put my relationship status up for a reason, I wanted to eliminate your competition and avoid the troublesome for myself as well. How silly? It was for you too.

Constant disappointments

Perhaps you were right; I really shouldn't linger on a bad relationship. There is no point of holding on to constant disappointments. I can't change you; I can't do anything about the things that keep us apart. I don't know how to make you do more. Instead I walked the extra miles for you; I did more than I would have ever done for anyone, hoping that you would feel the love and effort, and give me a little bit more in return.

That's all I need, just a little bit more.
There you are, taking me for granted.

I have been doubting our relationship quite a lot lately. I wonder what makes you think that it's okay to take me and my kindness for granted.  I am slowly getting tired of this; the amount of patience and feelings that I used to have for you is depreciating day by day. I still post pictures of us on Facebook and tweet about you, fooling myself and everyone else to believe that I still give a good amount of shit about our relationship. But deep down I know it is not true. So do people who know me.

The bottleneck

I understand that now we are in a relationship, you don't feel the need to try as much as you used to. But is it that difficult for you to remember my schedule?  To not call me while I am in class because you are bored on the bus? You say I mean a lot to you but why can't you live up to your words with actions?

My weekend getaway




Spent a weekend with my boyfriend at Niagara Falls for the Lambda Phi Epsilon Formal. Other than the fact  won the Pimp Of The Year award, it was a really fun weekend. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I was glad to find out more about what has my boyfriend been involved in for more than one and half year.
As an outsider, I could definitely see the passion and the brotherhood within them. I was never really against any fraternity or sorority groups, but I used to not give a rat crap. Especially when Ray told me he had to attend those lambda events as opposed to spending time with me. Now I am definitely more supportive. It's adorable to see how they have been passing down the traditions. I am more than happy to be a lambda lady.





Our brunch at the iHop aka the fake Denny's; it was definitely overpriced but I enjoyed it. haha
