9 August 2019

It is the nation's birthday.

It is also Mei's birthday. I've been wishing her for 17 years and this year, out of habit I texted her to wish her happy birthday as well. After sending it out though, I wondered if I was doing the right thing.

Adrian was in Melbourne. In less than 10minutes, I got a text from him saying "I got a text from Marc. Please do not send Mei greetings anymore."

I felt hurt and disappointed. For some reason, I also cried. It was an immediate raw reaction.
I guess, I was hurt because all the things she'd said previously seemed to be just lip service.

"Keep in touch. Take care."
"I'll have a small housewarming and invite you when the house is ready."

Nada. Zilch. Zero. Nothing.
Just lip service.

Maybe she did mean part of it when she said those words last year but grew cold feet as time went by.

Anyway, she wants to cut off all communications. Ok fine. I respect that choice.
I'll tell myself and remind myself that. No point in trying to keep something when it isn't working or when the other party does not want to.

Just need to tell myself to move on.
