Disconnected

The walls we built around us to keep
out the sadness also keep out the joy.

Two months ago I lost someone important to me to lung cancer and it is now slowly sinking in that at this moment, in this sometimes cruel world that we live in, I no longer have anyone who has my back. Of course my family will always be there for me and my little bear but I always thought of this person as a bonus - someone outside of my family who I can call if ever I needed a friend. But now he's gone...

Now I really need to put myself out there and at least try to make connections with people. I really want to have someone who understands me, but it has been quite challenging for me to find a person like that. I guess I've been burned one too many times that it has become tiring to get to know someone only to lose that person and somewhat disappointing to realize that the efforts I've put into building a connection were all in vain...

I often wish someone would give a damn about me... 
I don't know if I'll ever find such a person... 
I really need to shake off this feeling of being alone... 

Or maybe I've just been watching too many Kdramas on TV the past few days.

Life, please go easy on me!!!


If the month of May had been rough, it's now just a walk in the park
compared to the month of June... I lost the job that I had for 2.5 years... 
Because I lost my job, my Baby Bear is not able to go to school for the 
first time in 5 years... Anyone out there who wants to sponsor his tuition?
It breaks my heart to see him stare at his school building every time we
pass by the place, I guess he misses his teachers and classmates... :(

On the brighter side: He's been responding well to Applied Behavior 
Analysis Therapy 3 times a week... He doesn't have tantrums and meltdowns 
as much as he used to... I found a part time job... I have more free time to spend 
with my Bear... And HOPE is always there... I'm hoping that life will not be as 
hard as it is at the moment... There is hope that the Infinite will lead me 
SOMEWHERE... :)

The curve balls that life is throwing my way seem to keep coming... 
One day I had job security and many trips to the shopping mall... 
The next day I get an email that my contract has ended and "we ran 
out of work for you" and there are still debts to pay and groceries 
to purchase... One day my Baby Bear is happily giggling, smiling, and 
talking... The next day he stops communicating and just starts crying... :|

I am praying, praying, praying for better days to come...
Please include me and my Bear in your prayers...
Maybe God just wants to toughen me up...

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." --- Jeremiah 29:11

Hang In There

I'm not gonna lie, the past month has been rough on me. 
Autism has always been the enemy and I feel like I have been losing way too many battles lately. 
I'm hoping for better days. Please, Lord, let there be happier days ahead for me and my Bear...

What doesn't kill us will only make us stronger!
