The Truth Is This

Sometimes you make me so angry. After awhile I feel so drained because to be upset is tiring, especially being upset with you. I get so tired I just want to stop. Sometimes when things like that happen, we worry either one of us would just give up and let go.

The truth is I want to argue with you, because you're worth arguing with. Rather than just trying to make everything okay, I want to be able to get so mad at you and give you my very honest two cents, knowing that neither of us are going anywhere, knowing that you want to argue with me too because you care. 

Because after feeling so tired, I'm secretly excited that we've reached this stage where I can just be honest with you and not worry about losing you; because I know full well that you are mine and I am yours and that it'll take more than just thunder and lightning to change that.

The truth is I want to argue with you, as much as I want to laugh with you and mourn with you and be bored with you and be excited and crazy and silly and stupid and annoying with you. All because you're worth it.

Stairs

There's this unspoken escalator rule in Singapore where you stand on the left side if you're...well, just standing OR walk up/down the escalator on the right as if you're very busy and time is so very precious that even the moving escalator is not fast enough for you. Basically, it's stand left, walk right.

Most of the time I keep right and walk because I'm the sort of person who can't keep still.....unless it's a long long way up. Also because during peak hour, you try to be faster than everyone else to get to your destination as soon as you can so you don't have to wait with a whole bunch of other people. Also because I'm very busy and time is so very precious that even the moving escalator is not fast enough for me. Ha ha ha. No. Anyway.

Today on my way back from work, I took the stairs down and thought to myself, "Better keep right and take a speedy walk down."

Seconds later I realise I'm actually taking the stairs. THE. STAIRS. Then I was like, "What, people walk down the stairs on the right and stand still on the left?"

I actually had to take a couple more seconds to process that thought.
