Something

              So this is my very first time writing a blog about myself. I never thought of writing blog until I find that I need some kind of way to express my thought and my feeling since I cannot find someone to talk to. Well I am not a good writer. I hate taking English classes and barely got B for English. Hence I think this is a good way to improve my writing. So well my life kinda gets odd since December last year. Everything slowly change and become chaotic. My mental life has been mess up. I got depress for several months since then. It was mainly because of relationship problem. We date for nearly a year and from the month of sixth, many things break out and it was just like a boom. We fought, we argued, and we tired. It was a time that seems like I cry every single day. I am tired and sick of fighting and arguing with him. And I know I am not the only one who was tired. Yes, everything might because of me. But that's just me and who I am. I know to him, I was definitely wrong and he wants me to change. However, he never understand me and why I am that way. I think everyone has their own dark side and my problem is a common one that many people has in their relationship or marriage life. He doesn't want to accept me for who I am and live with it but want me to change or we move on break up. I was so disappointed because of his easiness of giving up this relationship. He doesn't know that what I do for him and the love that I gave him are worth more than that....Now I am the one who have to change myself and shut my month up, live with the reality so I can be with him...I dont know what to do more than that.
