Winter is almost here. I see insects flying their way to my room at nights and the uncertain urge to turn on and off the fan and covering and uncovering myself with blanket. And acting like a corpse in bed at morning, because of the cozy feeling. Sweet November is here.

Tomorrow is my presentation. I practiced my speech for hours tonight. I know I am still gonna screw up.
This whole weekend, I treated myself like a blunt existence. When I was in car going to a wedding, listening to songs in my earpiece, I told myself how unhappy I am lately. How ungrateful that makes me. I don't know how this started and when this will end. When I am around my cousins, I am this giddy, uncomplicated version of myself, and that goes the same with my friends. But this psycho babble in my mind, I can't stop. I get sad and every aspect of living loses its meaning. I don't wanna die but I don't wanna live either. I don't know how that's possible. If there were any one in the whole world who could understand what I am feeling inside.

I didn't wanna end on a depressing note. There were also times in this week, I made myself watch Indian stand up comedies on youtube at 3 am in the morning and cracked up, I laughed so hard that for a couple of mins there was no trace of sadness in me. I really try to be happy. To wake up in the morning, but it only lasts about 3 or 4 mins. Is this chronic depression? Am I psychologically becoming unfit?

My skin is showing a slow pace of improvement, maybe that's a reason I feel so sad. I don't enjoy looking like a wreck to people. I want to look like I am getting things done.

Pretending to the world you're okay is the easiest thing to do because no one seem to care. Everyone is busy with their own problems and I don't blame them I mean look at me. I don't care how many children in Africa are starving because it never crosses my mind. I have my own fears and anxieties to deal with everyday...

Looking forward scares me everyday. Every sun rise and sun set is the deadline I get. I don't cry now like I used to before, but there's this dark and shady, shallow feeling that never goes out.

I want to be free from it, I really do.

"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...

 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...
