Alone

There was this movie that me and my dad used to watch all the time together, it was a father-daughter movie in my mother tongue about an overprotective father and how he walks through the different paths of life of his daugher.. There was also an OST of that movie that my dad kept as a ringtone on his phone for my contact called "Come to me angel (literal translation)".

Though we were never like how the duo were in the movie, it still felt nice to watch it together or even alone. I guess I will never be able to watch that movie again, ever. Last week the song I mentioned played on the radio while I was driving back home, two lines down I had to stop my car because of the tears that didn't stop to fall. I still can't believe I actually broke down while driving in the middle of the road, but yeah it had to happen because of that damn song. Because I will never be able to hear it as a ringtone in the house when my dad asks me to ring up his phone to find it in the house when he misplaces it which is kind a lot of times.

I have never felt so alone and hollow in the past few weeks,

even with my mom, brother, grandfather and uncles around,

even with my best friends, friends and cousins checking up on me all the time.

It just keeps to be a constant reminder that they are all doing that because I lost my dad, I know they mean good but my brain keeps ing things up. It sometimes gets out of hand. Like again last weekend my aunt wanted to get me some clothes for my birthday in a few weeks all in good sense, but internally I couldn't feel that this is happening only because I do not have my father by my side.

Every year for the past 21 years of my life, it was my dad who chooses and buys my birthday clothes (even for the past two years I ask him not to, he always insists). So it might be one of the major reasons I don't even want anything from anybody this year or want to do something on that day. I don't know if people get it or they are just being oblivious idiots. I cannot help but hate everybody for this, for continously reminding me of my dad in every ways possible. I clearly know I shouldn't be thinking of such a thing, it is bad. I know it is my fault and nobody else but what am I supposed to do?

I am just so ing confused, frustrated and feel alone in this world.

If I tell this to my best friend or maybe even my therapist, I know I will only be told to do this and that. Feel all this optimistic bull, let go, forgive and forget. But its all so easier said than actually ing doing it. I am trying okay, I am so ing trying to be silent all this while and not hurt anybody's feeling by saying all this out loud because I have no right to lash out my anger to everybody. Nobody deserves this.

Everything is so ty and ed up in my life. I just have no way out now, because there is no person physically consious or unconsious that I can call my dad. He is gone forever, I am going to be labelled as a fatherless girl for life everywhere I go and every look I get filled with ing pity. I don't want anybody's pity, I don't want to be told to be doing stuff, or stay strong. I just want my dad back, something that reality will forever deny me. I can only laugh at myself of how pathetic and stupid I sound like a child who wants a lost toy back. I don't want words of encouragement or moral support, I only need somebody who would understand the I am going through and actually do not ing order or instruct me to go upon life.

Why don't I deserve a better peaceful life? Why does mine have to be so distorted? Did I deserve to be punished for doing everything wrong? for all my mistakes? Don't I too deserve some good things to happen in my life too? Why does everything have to keep going downhill? from me failing exams how much ever I study hard? from the stupid decisions I took a few months to take my own life? Was I so undeserving to better things that I only get thrown bad things directly at my face? Maybe I did something horrible in my past life to be tortured like this? Why are the only people I actually want by my side do not ask me if I am okay? Because I am ing not and never will be at this rate.

I feel so betrayed and disappointed in my dad, my mom, my brother and my best friends. Though I have no right, I just do.

I don't want people to get me things for my birthday or just anything just to make me feel better or happy.

I don't want to keep updating my relatives and some more people on every single thing I do in life just because I have to feel grateful for all the things they have been doing to help my family, I just want to stop feeling grateful or obligated to update them about everything I do in my life. If only I had my dad here none of this would have happened right? Yet again I can only think this as a reminder.I am truly a horrible person to think about all this, this way and I hate myself for that.

I am so angry, so ing angry that even I just realized I had so much pent up inside me. Because all I do is remain mute, silence has practically embedded itself in myself.

아무것도 아니라고 했잖아
신경 쓸 필요 없다고 했잖아
그 누구보다 강한 너니까
모두 이겨낼 수 있다 했잖아

근데 요즘 들어 어깨가 쳐져 보여
요즘 들어 네가 한없이 작게만
그렇게만 느껴져

돌아와 줘 다시 예전처럼
나를 보며 환하게 웃어줘
요즘엔 날 바라보는
너의 그 눈빛이
한없이 슬퍼 보여

                                    - 거울 ( 김성규 )

I am just so tired of building my hopes of things I wish would happen to me somehow, or with the words everybody tells me of how things will get better through time, good things will knock your door. Well, I wish something completely knocks me out forever because of all feeling, disappointment last the longest. Someone told me I am way too mature for my age, maybe I am. And I don't like it 1%, I sometimes wish I could be a naive stupid girl who has no clue of how the world works. And I am sad that my dad or my family or my circumstances didn't give me that. It just feel so unfair and suffocating.

Maybe I expect things from my best friends? But aren't they supposed to know me the best? Why do I feel like I am the one trying even though I am at my most weakest and vulnerable point?

I guess to summarize everything simply in four words,

IT'S ALL MY FAULT,

it always has been and I would be the biggest idiot to not realize it. No this is not self pity or any of those . It is just plain realization to tell myself why I actually feel alone especially at a time like this.

I just can't deal with any of this, I am not strong enough but everyone thinks I am and tells me that I am.

Probably that's the problem with being a strong one even if I am pretending to be one,

no one offers a hand.

I wasn't gonna say this or even compare my situation to yours your pain might be different than mine or maybe greater, but I get what youre saying losing two kids of my own wasn't easy on me and others aka friends and family telling me to be grateful because I have another two wasn't the right thing to say to a mother grieving her kids no one can replace the other and I will never forget them, PERIOD.

Yet that's how ppl are and I learned the hard way not to put an effort in what others say (as harsh as i may sound) and it made me feel somehow good.

I learned with time to cherish their memories in a way that makes me feel that they are still around, the smallest thing you do (ex a charity in their names) in your case doing things you and your dad used to love doing together something I couldnt done with mine little angels , not saying you have to it's just an example, you'll get there when youre ready, you'll find your way when the right time comes, and believe it or not doing such thing made me feel a little better (a little)

A little advice where you have the right to dismiss or take, don't push ppl who care about you, take your mom as example (regardless how their relationship was) she lost a soulmate best friend and most of all her husband someone she shared her life with and depends on even before you guys came around, and what makes it worse is that she has to be strong for you guys and act normal which is also hard to do btw.

I pushed my husband away once and blamed him for my losses for putting me into this situation something I couldve avoided if I were still at my patents house single and carefree (I was 19 when I lost my first after holding him for one night, it was shocking to me he simply stopped breathing, the second one I couldn't even touch)
I never realized how important my husband to me until I almost lost him too in a terrible accident on his way to see me even though I pushed him away and kicked him out everyday (I moved to my parents house for a while)

Bottomline, we're all here for you whenever you wanna talk rant or sulk take a month or 10 years ♡♡♡ feel free to silent us if our words aren't helping (I dont mind) and remember it's not your fault or anyone's fault, there is no time limits for grieving you'll get there when youre ready //sending hugssss//

And I'm sorry if I said too much, something you might not want to read or listen or I shouldnt said it to you but it was from the heart ♡ hope you can accept it in a positive way.

The very fact u keep trying to find peace in the midst of this typhoon is a clear sign of how much u r gifted to bear pains that other cannot or ignore.
No, ur life is not perfect, but neither is other's.
We all lose smth, smo we hold dear. And it breaks us. But we get chances to push through. No one says it has to be done rn or for the sake of other people's wish. But u will def find yourself worthy to try again when it is time. And some nag u, because that's their coping mechanism;they feel they have to do smth to move on and it's usually at ur expense, as in they annoy u with their actions.
It's fine to step back, but never too far. Ppl do worry about u and this is no small deal. Ur father did it and so do others.
It might not come to ur heart's desire, but wishes have a funny way of becoming true.

I have no idea of what to say to make you feel better,but anyways I don't think at this point nothing which we say will make you feel better.
I haven't gone through something like this,but believe me your friends and family is there for you.it is rational for you to dismiss what others telling in hope of making you feel better by telling them they haven't gone through that,but still they are trying right?
And I guess it is better to cry,lash out other than bottling all those emotions inside. And I think, this is great,I mean you are venting your anger frustration by writing which is really good.
I know this would be bitter,but you are not the only person who went through this there are loads of people who have gone through the same and much more than you. So always have faith. At one point of your life,everything will be alright.
You are not alone darling.never think in that way.
Keep fighting as you have always done. Keep being the bravest and the loveliest girl you were for your daddy because he is looking out for you.and once in a while cry get angry break things.it is okay..you are not at fault for anything that has happened. Trust yourself. You are a great fighter.as I always say keep fighting.come here and lash out when you need it..

Shall I tell u a story?, like 2 days ago, someone from my tuition clz lost her father. I am friends with her best friend but not her. It was yesterday I heard the news from my friend, and she broke down infront of me while telling me how the incident happened and how her best friend behaves, not eating or drinking anything but staring into the space and falling asleep. She told me she doesn't know what to do, but it hurts her so much that she can't do anything about her but telling how to cope with the sadness, which earns her scolds of 'you dont understand it' 'you dont know what I am feeling' ' Dont tell me what to do when you still have your father'... She tells that its all her sadness speaking and she will gladly be her punching bag if she feels better.

Is this the situation with you? Are you frustrated because you hear what to do from people who have never gone through what you went through? Because you think you are the only person who can understand you, and thats why you feel that you are alone. Trust me.. Others might not have gone through it but trust me they can feel you too. I was the one who had to hold my friend when she cried for her best friend. I saw the hurt in her eyes. I saw how much she tries. I saw how she pretends to be okay for her friend so her depression wont worsen thinking that she is making people around her sad too. This is how it works. You are never alone. You are just a part of the people who experienced the crual reality.

Just remember that YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!!! You might not know me and Heol, I only know whats in your wallpaper only, but I am trying to understand you too. And it hurts so much that you are hurting. I really hope your rainy days to come to a sunny end. Really♥

Idk if this is going to comfort you or not, I cant say I understand, I havent going through losing someone dearly, well once, my grandma, I still dream of her sometimes. I wont tell you to be strong, because no one can be that strong for a long time. So grief, grief your lost, cry and breakdown. Let it all out. Dont keep it inside. But once you're done. Get up and remember your dad's love, and live. I wish the best for you.
