I could kick myself now when I consider how foolish I have been.
Why question love, when it feels so unambiguous?
Why ponder retirement, when it will happen as night follows day.
I may as well be poor, living with Maiyuu, than relatively well-off, but alone in the West. Love conquers all, even an empty bank balance.
--
I read the comments, and realise that some of my readers were UNHAPPY about the recent series of posts on whether I should stay with the boyfriend or go back to the West.
Thailand has not felt the same lately, I wrote, since my return from a recent trip to Malaysia.
I suspect my love for Maiyuu was simply at a low ebb, so everything around me looked black.
Now that we have rekindled our love for each other, Thailand looks just as bright, breezy, and wonderful as it did on the very first day when I set foot on its soil.
I should get down and kiss the ground, the way former leader Thaksn Shinawatra once did, after returning to Thailand from a brief period of exile abroad (he's now in exile again).

Did I miss something? What brought this about? He just said one line to you and now everything is okay?
Did you take care of that ear infection? It may have gone deeper.

Too bad the Thais we love don't think the same way. If and when you are poor, will Maiyuu stay around?

Swtbun: Thank you, and welcome.
Jake: I agree, if we love each other, we may as well stay together. I would miss his little face if I left.

I love reading your blog and I've been an avid reader for about a year now. I have decided to leave a comment because I'm really glad that you've decided to stay with Maiyuu. I think this line from the song I'd Rather by Luther Vandross fits your decision well. Here it is "I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart". I wish you and Maiyuu all the best! - Richard D., Philippines

Anon(Richard D): Thank you. I am sure you're right.
I can't really leave when I still love the guy. Maybe love really does conquer all, as they say -including common sense!
