A Redemption Arc- Day 255


I am truly grateful that Thinley has given both me and our relationship another chance. His ability to forgive and believe in us once again is a testament to the depth of his love and the kindness of his heart. For a moment, I was certain I had lost him forever, and the thought of that filled me with immense regret and sorrow. Yet, despite everything I put him through, he chose to take me back, not out of obligation, but because he still sees something worth fighting for in us. His unwavering faith in our love speaks volumes, and I can only hope to honor this second chance by proving that his trust in me was not misplaced.

After 33 agonizing days, we have finally started texting each other again. I know this has been just as hard for him as it has been for me, because he has a soft heart, and because I have been through my own version of hell. The pain was relentless. The nights were filled with silent cries, endless tossing and turning, and a suffocating loneliness that seeped into every waking moment. Everything around me became a reminder of him, his scent lingering in forgotten places, his laughter echoing in memories I couldn’t shut out.

The sadness was all-consuming, an unshakable weight pressing down on my chest. Some days, it felt like my heart had turned to ice, sharp and unforgiving. Each morning came with the same cruel realization that he wasn’t there, that I had to face another day without him. And worst of all, I didn’t even want to wake up. It’s the kind of pain I wouldn’t wish upon anyone, not even my worst enemies, because it doesn’t just hurt it dismantles you, piece by piece, a day after day,  until you don’t recognize yourself anymore.

Then there was the insistent feeling that my phone was ringing, the phantom vibrations that tricked me into thinking he had texted or called. Every time I picked it up, hoping to see his name on the screen, my heart would sink deeper into the abyss of disappointment. The uncertainty of not knowing what he was up to, where he was, or what he was feeling was a torment of its own. It was a different kind of suffering, one that words could never fully capture, a restless ache that gnawed at my soul.

But somehow, we have made it past that unbearable darkness, even if just a little. The storm hasn’t completely passed, but for the first time in a long time, I can see a glimpse of light breaking through the cracks. Maybe, just maybe, this is the beginning of healing.

I am taking this chance to make things better, for both of us and for myself. I want to grow, to become a better person, and most of all, to be a better partner for him. The thousands of miles between us are already unbearable, and if there is even the smallest way I can make things easier for him, I would do it without hesitation. I would throw everything I have into making things right.

Like I said, we have been texting, and when he finally replied, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. February 15, 2025 and that will forever be my redemption day, a day I will never forget. It is a day of rekindling our vows and my commitment to our relationship. It was the first step toward healing, toward rebuilding what we lost. I know he is not yet ready to see me face-to-face, even over a video call, and I understand. I don’t want to rush him or push him into anything before he is ready. Healing takes time, and I know that more than anyone. It will take time for us, especially for him to feel like ourselves again. Until then, I will wait. I will do everything in my power to prove myself, to earn back his trust, to make him feel safe with me again.

He needs time to detox from all the pain, to let go of the sadness that has weighed him down, and most of all, to find it in his heart to forgive me. I won’t ask for more than he is ready to give. I will wait for as long as it takes.

I know I have shared this blog with him which I have never done with anyone. This is the place where I pour out my unspoken, unconfessed feelings. As I write this, I don’t even know if he will read it. But if you ever do, Thinley, I just want you to know how deeply sorry I am. I am grateful beyond words that you have given me even the smallest chance at redemption. I don’t take it lightly. I will do better, I promise.

I am waiting for the day we find our way back to each other, to the warmth and comfort of what we once had. And until then, I just need you to know one more thing that I am helplessly, hopelessly, and endlessly in love with you, Thinley.

Signing Out,

Celebrating One Year of LDR Journey

  They say distance separates hearts, but I think ours just learned to beat louder. Today marks one full year of being in a long-distance relationship, 365 days of holding on, showing up, and proving that love doesn’t shrink with space; it stretches, adapts, and if you're lucky, it deepens. What once felt impossible is now something we’ve lived, and are still living, one day, one call, one “goodnight” at a time. I still think about that day at the airport. The way your hand slipped out of mine. The tears neither of us wanted to let fall. The ache I carried through,  that was Day One, the beginning of this strange, beautiful, often frustrating chapter. We didn’t know if we’d last. But here we are. A year later. Stronger, closer, and even more in love. This year taught us that love doesn’t always come in fireworks or fairy tale moments. It comes in the little things. Your sleepy morning voice notes were my daily shot of warmth. My late-night texts full of memes became your las...

Cheers to 5 Years of Us!

Today marks five beautiful years of our journey together. Looking back, I’m truly thankful for everything we’ve poured into this relationship, the laughter, the tears, the love, and even the lessons. It hasn’t always been easy, but here we are, still choosing each other. And I hope we’ll continue to do so for the rest of our lives. Life isn’t like the perfect love stories we see in TikTok, K-Dramas or BL series. Real love is messy, raw, and honest. It’s a balance of both sunshine and storms. It starts with that giddy, butterfly-filled puppy love, fooling around, sharing silly jokes, and feeling like the world is brighter just because you’re together. But it also comes with disagreements, hurt feelings, and moments of doubt. Love, I’ve learned, isn’t about avoiding those hard times but about standing side by side and working through them. It takes two people, equally committed, to make it last. A friend once told me, “The first seven years of a relationship are the hardest with constant...

Thinley's bucket list

A few months ago, completely out of the blue, Thinley sent me his bucket list. Rereading it now, given everything we're going through, it feels like a collection of faraway dreams. There are moments when I truly don't know if we'll pull through this challenging time, but my heart desperately wants us to. We have to. His list, simply titled "Things I Want to Do With My Husband," holds the most beautiful and uncomplicated desires: a nice date, dinner, a movie, a visit to a Lhakhang, and traveling (just the two of us). These are such simple things, the kind we often take for granted in the rush of everyday life. It truly speaks to the pure, childlike heart that Thinley has. Despite the uncertainty that looms over us, I cling to the hope that we can make every single item on that list come true. It might not be exactly as we once imagined, or on the timeline we expected, but I am committed to finding a way. Here’s how I envision us completing his precious bucket list....
