the truth.

I am no Anime freak. The only anime I watched was Death Note. And without a shame, I am just gonna say I didn't continue it because I lost my interest when Light lost his memory and started to team up with L. And I am not into manga reading either, I read what say- Kaichou Maid Sama and Love So Life yeah that's probably it.

I am uncool. I don't keep up with the trends. When everybody was freaking over Sherlock, I was...I don't what I was up to. I only sat to watch it when Ann begged me to watch it and made me realize what I have been missing. I was pretty much late in the game. Still I am. I didn't convincingly watch Game of Thrones yet, I mean I sorta just started it last month, stopped after season 1 episode 5 because I feel it is just not cut out for me. But undoubtedly I am not over Sherlock, It turned out to be my favorite Tv series. And yes I haven't watched BATMAN movies or Marvel movies, or comics, the only comics I love are Tintin, Chacha Chowdhury or I don't know anything that doesn't involve action.  And yeah when people my age, talks about this stuff I feel a bit inferior. I feel like there's a generation gap. And trust me, when you're making friends, when you're in an environment full of people obsessed with things you don't even give a shit about, it gets hard to be there. It gets hard to pretend. No I haven't read any single Harry Potter Book. I haven't read Divergent Series. I don't know who DOCTOR WHO is. When T showed her Captain America bag to me, I wasn't sure how to react. I don't even know what I haven't had yet anymore.

I need a movie-cation. Hate being left out like this. I feel like I don't connect.

But do you know what's stupid? Blending in despite the things that are solid in you that cannot be mixed. Those things make you, you. And make sure those things do not become an extension, things that you start hiding from your friends.

I thought I was cool. I was artsy. But this year, my thoughts have turned into topsy-turvy. I am anything but artsy. I don't write beautiful verses, beautiful words. I am getting a B- on my English course that's for sure. This wasn't me. A year ago, I was still believing in myself. I was still hoping that, I am going to do something extra-ordinary, put my family in shock, show them how I am capable of things. But I am not so hopeful anymore, you know. I feel my ground shaking. I feel like I am not smart enough to do anything these days. Even just in doing a simple task. It is not the movies, or the books or the obsessions, trust me. It is me. I have completely withdrawn. When I should be fighting, making my position, free myself from all the silly fears that I have. I have given up. And I know it is weird how I started with movies and stuff that I feel insecure about around my new friends, but trust me, there is a state deep within, where this is all on me. I am the one hiding from myself. I am the one. I am the one stopping myself from being fearless, falling into trouble. My life clearly needs trouble because it's like a silent sea. I need to bring the storm in the ocean. Well that's just a metaphor. I need to be the one, the one and only breaking myself free. Share things I love truly, passionately. Say out loud the things I hate, loathe, disapprove. Walk without needing anyone's damn approval on my outfit wherever I go. I need to stop asking my parents if it is okay. I need to stop doubting myself whether I can or can't, because I simply can. I just need that dint of enthusiasm, that sprinkle of belief that I am capable. I am not the odd man out. Or the quiet, shy person. I am a scream queen. Just lock me in a room with bugs and see how I roar.

I don't know what got me today. I am just feeling such a..misfit. If I had some hidden talent to showcase, I would be a wallflower. But such a pity. I am not sure I even have talents. Really. I am blunt.

    "We look before and after,
    And pine for what is not:
    Our sincerest laughter
    With some pain is fraught;
    Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought."

"Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you.”

“If I had a camera," I said, "I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life." "I look exactly the same." "No, you don't. You're changing all the time. Every day a tiny bit. If I could, I'd keep a record of it all." "If you're so smart, how did I change today?" "You got a fraction of a millimeter taller, for one thing. Your hair grew a fraction of a millimeter longer. And your breasts grew a fraction of a—" "They did not!" "Yes, they did." "Did NOT." "Did too." "What else, you big pig?" "You got a little happier and also a little sadder." "Meaning they cancel out each other, leaving me exactly the same." "Not at all. The fact that you got a little happier today doesn't change the fact that you also become a little sadder. Every day you become a little more of both, which me...

v day

 I am in luteal phase and everything my husband doing is irritating me.  It is all scientific I know but still everything is so annoying and I just wanted pizza. He ordered biryani.  I wanted to go on a date on valentines day. He brought me flowers, which was sweet but he forgot to book the restaurant and we ended up going costco instead. I just feel like I am wasting my best years on him. Is it normal to feel like that. We are almost 2 years into our married life and I already miss our initial chemistry. I feel like we are being like an old married couple. It shouldn't feel like that, right? I mean, it is still new; we aren't that old yet.  I feel so bored honestly, and disappointed.  Again, this could be because of my luteal phase.  I am sad too.  I wish, he made a little more effort to make me feel special. Make me feel deserving. I wish I didn't dress up to do our groceries on Valentines day.

opposite sides of a coin

Hi B,  I've been sort of busy with the training for the job and have another interview coming tomorrow. I am torn between staying with the current job and switching or keeping both as part times. I don't know, I guess I will have a decision made if the interview goes well. I have been traveling far for the current one and every time I get on the bus or the the train I feel depression kicking in full force. Suddenly I remember home, the comfort of being around my loved ones, the easy life I once had back in Bangladesh. Certainly, there are things that weren't easy but I guess it felt easy because I was more used to it. Transport was rickshaw and didn't even think twice before booking an uber because I always had some money with me. Now I have literally 200 dollars to go by and I have to think twice to even buy a cup of coffee or a piece of bread. I guess with time, I will be able to save up some money. I am glad at least I got to start working. It is still very overwhelm...
