Happiness is...taking a break


Stay Happy. Stay satisfied. Stay cool. 
These are easy to say, and tough to be. I really can't remember, the last time when i was fully happy, or smiling or laughing like crazy. I mean seriously, did i stop for a moment and looked back to see how i was holding up with my life? Did i take a moment to feel what i was actually feeling? No. Some how i just skipped the emotional part and continued with the practical. Some how being happy became the least thing i wanted to have in my way towards life. But is it that simple? Leading life without preferring yourself a bit? I think that we all should just stop jostling and getting lost in this worldly life. Just take a moment, see what you've been through and appreciate what you've got. Good or Bad.
Wishing and Dreaming- these two are unlimited. Dreaming is good. But sometimes we dream so much that we forget the reality. Then it comes- Depression. Sadness of not getting what we fantasized of. But because of the ugly reality we can't just stick to our fantasies, or dreams or wishes. We should have the courage to dream and to face reality in both hands. It is what it is, depending on how you see it. Expectations should be in your limits, so that you can easily attach it to the reality. If you can't make it, just give it time. time heals everything. Sometimes in this buzzing life, all you need is just a break from everything, and only you own it, no one else. Then everything seems so better, the pain heals itself, and the problems start to sorting out. 
I know, we are humans. We can't be fully satisfied but what we can do is to have patience and inner strength. Life is a gift. It's in our hands. It is us, who can decide whether to be happy or waste it in depressions. We can wrap it in rainbows, we can color it. We are that much powerful! So why not be happy? :D

“Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”

Can we just halt a sec. and review all the good moments we had with our friends,families and loved ones? It can really be refreshing. Having all the flashbacks of good times. Life is not that bad, is it? 
“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by 

smiles, not tears.” 

― John Lennon
Do we need any particular reason to stay happy, satisfied? We are gifted a life from god, we have a beautiful earth having trees and oxygen so we can breath, we have families, we have loved ones, we have pets, we can go window shopping, (do i need any money for that?!), everything that we needed. Life could be worse. I could be born as a cockroach and could be bitten dozen of times by sandals, gross! So lucky that i'm a human. I can lead my life in my own rules. That is happiness. That is my satisfaction. Tell you what this can't get any better. I'm good with this "boring and not so special" kinda life. And i can try my best to put all the little things together to be a happy teen. :)

from your own actions.”

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...

world war?

 Dear B,  I don't watch the news but there has been a lot of speculations on social media of a possible world war III. My sister just texted me that I should save up money as we don't know what that might do to the economy. It is ironic because I just ordered something online last night. Every time I go out, I spend. I don't even have a good paying job and I spend like I have full time. However, one thing I learned from my past is that there is no point in stressing about the future. What I have control over is now. I can either live in the moment or ruin it by ruminating and what good will it bring to my life? Living alone can get boring. However, I am trying to find things to do. Maybe I will visit a bookstore today. Lets see.  I have rearranged the furnitures yesterday. Cleaned as well. The place looks good.  Maybe I will go IKEA. I love it there. Even though I can't afford furnitures, I just enjoy looking at them. Oh what to tell you B. My in-laws are coming this...

"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...
