Diary, September 5th

I’m sitting on my Macbook, next to Chiu who is sleeping on the floor. I have been a much better mom lately. Because instead of always just focusing on me and what I want, I now spend everyday preparing things for the next day for Chiu. I look up activities we can do together and am generally less driven to have as much time for work as possible. It’s like preparing for a trip. Which some planning, the whole trip will definitely go much smoother, than when you go somewhere and end up lost.

Everything we learned about love is so wrong.

I constantly trap myself getting really triggered and annoyed when my boyfriend Nam doesn’t do something the way I want it. My expectations are also, when he “misbehaves” from my point of view, he has to make up for it. When he doesn’t make up for it, because he doesn’t see reason why he is wrong in the first place, I pull all the “I don’t feel loved” cards.
