somehow people who broke up with their girlfriends/boyfriends deserve more sympathy than those who have to deal with the death of a loved one.
no doubt the loved one is a 4-legged piece of furball - it's a living thing, breathing, eating, peeing, shitting, whining and cuddling like any other human being because it is a living thing.
it just disgusts me how many people think that losing a dog is equivalent to that of losing a goldfish.
i dont need sympathy nor attention from anyone because i am strong and i am independent.
i reveal my vulnerable side to a selected few who wont judge me for anything in this world.
sea sea's death has affected me in more ways than one and i am taking it harder than expected.
it has been a month and i am not remotely over it. Every morning, i wake up and i think of her. Everytime i come home, i think of her. Every nite before i sleep, i think of her.
Many times when i was on the bus, i would think of her. Sometimes when i was working, i think of her. Almost everytime im having lunch, i think of her.
I appear ambivalent and nonchalent about it in front of my friends because i dont want anybody to ask me about her and wants to offer me condolences because i cannot deal with all these. I might just break down - even consoling smses from friends drive me to the brink of tears at times.
the past one and a half years - i was having the time of my life in australia, pursuing a dream that would last me a lifetime. the opportunity cost is the time with my loved ones.
i wasnt around to watch her grow old and sick and weak.
i shouldnt have to deal with her death the moment i came home.
too many regrets...
i am a very positive person - if you, my friend, didnt already know. And i hate imposing my feelings and emotions on other people.
Just because i am smart with my feelings and emotions, and i am strong enough to control them does not mean people can take my feelings for granted and assume i can and had gotten over my dog's death.
i shall not go into my opinions on breakups for it will appear insensitive to many.
people cant deal with raw emotions and confrontations - they squirm when the truth is told.
why do i have to deal with stupid people all the time?

-kel
haha kel~!!!
that my figure of speech - cos i somehow think u cant really be too sad when ur goldfish die.
firstly - they dont live very long so logically u wouldnt invest too much feelings into it during its short span of life.
secondly - they dont make any noise like whining, barking so they cant get your attention to watch them chase their tail, tickle their tummies or plainly happy to see u home.
thirdly - they dont cuddle u to sleep so u cant really be physically close with them such that they become irreplaceable.
this is gonna sound heartless - but i think goldfish are pretty much replaceable. unlike dogs.
----
conclusion is - u cant really say things like its been a month - u mean haven get over?
well - idiots exist everywhere.
i'm just glad im not one of them.
;-)
that's precisely what i meant!
you can't talk to a goldfish and expects it to understand you.
you can't teach a goldfish commands.
you don't have a goldfish that springs into excitement and wags its tails to welcome you home.
you can't play catch with a goldfish.
you can't go swmimming with a goldfish.
you can't have a goldfish that tells you its happy, sad, or angry.
you can't bathe a goldfish and have it shake to make you wet from head to toe.
you can't scold a goldfish when it misbehaves (as if it will) and have it looking at you apologetically.
its not heartless, its a fact.
i maybe extreme, but i'm glad i'm not one(idiot) too! ;)
