That Ice Queen Called Me

      When I was scrolling my friends list here, I decided to make a testimonial for one that I haven’t seen in years.  I usually maske testimonials in a jiffy, but when I clicked this person’s name I went suddenly numb.  Why I am doing this?  What for?  What’s the use?

       A colleague at my office once said that I was rather hard to strike up a friendship with.  Why?  Well, my habits are strange for one (I sometimes go to work with no make-up on, and I often go to work outrageously early).  I don’t do "girl-talk" usually.  I like to read, and I sometimes can’t understand why girls fall for a guy on a poster whose qualifications for such adoration are a set of six-pack abs, arm muscles, clear skin, etc.,etc.,etc.  I don’t like to be around lots of people too.  And I heard from my sister that someone told her that I was a sort of "Ice Queen"—someone who is cold and aloof.

       My "Ice Queen" image oftentimes filters down to my relationships with my family and relatives.  I don’t usually attend gatherings, and when I do I don’t talk much at all.  I am the quintessential cold turkey when something bad happens.  I remember when an aunt died.  I was her favorite niece, and I haven’t seen her in 8 years! Yet when I heard about her death, I hardly shed a tear.

         I don’t know.  I sometimes don’t know why I am like this, a being insensitive to things around her.  A person who had been devoted to building walls around her, and now is trying to break them down with difficulty since the walls are much too thick.  I’m sorry if I had been so cold when I even know that I shouldn’t.  I’m sorry that I run away whenever you all try to reach out to me.  I’m sorry……T-T

       I have been so insensitive.  I am ashamed.  I bow my head down to all of you here.  I am humbled by the fact that a lot of you still want to reach out to me after all that’s been said and done.  I will be better, you’ll see.  I thought that I was destined to be invisible all my life, and I recently got the shock of my life when I found that someone out there loves me, in spite of myself.  I cried like I never did for a very long time.

       I hate myself.

    to my queen,
    what the term ‘ice queen’ mean ?
    its the person who had a cold blood, someone who cares 4 no one, you like 2 spend most of your time alone, thats not wrong, thats a part of a romance, but they cant see.
    your friend who said that about you is only giving him self an excuse 2 explain his failure approaching you , he said that about u, he is no longer a friend, you love your family ,your parents , your sisters, an most of all , you love your boyfriend, if you are capable of love , then you are no ice queen, he said one right thing about you , you are a queen, my lovely queen
