Well, my mother passed away on April 14. This Saturday will be two weeks. And I haven’t grieved. I want to, I just can’t. I cannot force myself to cry. I have to keep going in life. I have to write papers, read textbooks, take exams, go to work.

It’s coming, though. I can sense it. Maybe when finals are over next week, I can take the following two weeks to think, to heal. Of course I know I won’t heal completely. This will be a life long battle.

I love living in a city where I can have tea and people watch. (Taken with instagram)
