Love, without regrets.

Chorus:

爱上一个人

我们都没有错

只是走了不同的

一个分岔路口

[It’s not wrong for us to fall in love with someone; it’s just that we’ve taken different turns on the path]

如果从此双手

不能再和你紧紧相握

就让我再拥抱一秒钟

[If I can’t hold your hands (henceforth), let me linger in your embrace for just another minute]

爱上一个人

我们都没有错

只是不能一直陪着你

走到最后

[It’s not wrong for us to fall in love with someone; it’s just that I can’t be there with you til the very end]

如果我的心痛

全世界没有一个人懂

我也不后悔曾经爱过

[If my heart hurts/aches in a way that no one else in the world understands, I don’t regret having once loved you]

2.29am

What keeps me up at night - and find my thoughts in the day: the gap between who I’ve known myself to be, and grasping at a connection to what’s going on.

So so so lost. Whatever’s happened to my wit, charm, intellect?

#MaybeBabyWoes Guys, it’s been rough. I suspect we lost a mini bean at < 4 weeks. PM me if you want to see the evidence of suspected pregnancy - images are gory but you can see and know. #QUITASKINGWHEN is something I’m wildly passionate about. Link in bio From a place of grief and loss, comes this idea that we should step away from the shame of fertility struggles to a position of strength: knowledge empowers. Instead of asking *when* newlyweds would be parents, and looking out for the next IG ultrasound pregnancy announcement: Let’s have a conversation about women’s health - shift the attention a little away from #obstetrics to #gynecology. Often, people look so much at the littles and forget that Mamas also need to be in good health. I didn’t have a great experience as a first-time would-be Mom seeking medical attention. The first instance I had a weird bleed, I headed straight for the ER. I didn’t look for a gynae - and didn’t know where to begin. Singapore’s lovely and we have a glut of options. ... And that was what made it so confusing! A healthy, full pregnancy remains one of the least discussed topic - it’s almost taboo to talk about PCOS, miscarriages, ovarian cysts, cystic fibrosis... And yet: when I announced on FB that we might’ve had lost our little bean, there was an outpouring of emotions from private messages - of other women who’ve been through worse circumstances of multiple miscarriages. #TryingtoConceive / #Fertility #struggleisreal - let’s have a conversation about informed choices and options.

Landslide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0ans1ukv4M I took my love and I took it down I climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well, the landslide brought me down Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love Can the child within my heart rise above Can I sail through the changing ocean tides Can I handle the seasons of my life Well, I've been afraid of changin' Cause I've built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older And I'm getting older too Well Well, I've been afraid of changin' Cause I've built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older And I'm getting older too Well, I'm getting older too So.. take this love and take it down Yeah, and if you climb a mountain and you turn around And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well, the landslide brought it down And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well maybe... Well maybe... Well maybe... The landslide'll bring you down
