serendipityˌ(sɛr(ə)nˈdɪpɪti/)

noun
  1. 1.
    the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
    "a fortunate stroke of serendipity"
    synonyms:chance, happy chance, accident, happy accident, fluke; 
    God has a unique way to surprise us. A unique beautiful way. You know, the more i'm growing, i'm learning that; when you crave for something to happen and when it happens, you just can't get any happier. But when good things happen by chance, and surprise you like crazy, i think that's the awesome feeling you get. because it's beyond your expectations, it's shocking yet satisfactory. i don't know i guess i'd love to fall in this type of sweet accident. :') 

    “It's a bizarre but wonderful feeling, to arrive dead  center 

    of a target you didn't even know you were aiming for.” 


    ― Lois McMaster Bujold

    so i would rather let the path guiding me to get a new path. 

    It's not that i'm completely relying on luck and whatsoever, but sometimes i guess mistakes can be really sweet and beneficial. i mean you'll never know, what is really going out there. you'll never know if you're assure of what you really want.In crisis, you may feel what you don't have. Again, being surrounded by all the craved thingies you wanted in your life, you may feel something is really missing. My point is that, expectations and reality can be freaking different. so there'd be gaps in them. it's you who can fill the gap by taking risks, get shocked,exhausting yourself with everything that life throws at you...

    I'm not in mood with philosophy but i think it's fun to pretend like "Ms. know it all" ;)

    Coincidences, yeah they happen for a reason too. May be we don't know what God has prepared for us along the road, so we better trust him, and who knows what he's up to?

    “Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a 
    wonderful stroke of luck.” 
    ― Dalai Lama XIV

    I didn't know that, this wonderful feeling has a name. A beautiful name. 
    Serendipity

    “I may not have gone where I intended to 

     go, but I think I have ended up where I 

     needed to be.” 

     -Douglas Adams
    And sometimes, i feel like,this ain't gonna work. I'm not gonna able to make it. But in the end, i get overwhelmed with the fact that, "i made it through this." 
    Every time it's like i'm changing bit by bit, knowing myself differently, and it's surprising how one person may not know what they're capable of, until they finally go ahead,feel it. 
    “It's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems.”

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...

spring is almost here

Hi B,  Season is changing. The hard days are almost over.  The city I live in has turned so beautiful, I get overwhelmed by the beauty.  Tulips are in. Cherry blossoms are blossoming.  Magnolia, Beautiful white flowers, name unknown to me.  Taking a walk out feels like a celebration of life.  It feels like I'm falling in love with the city.  I remember when I first moved here 2 years ago, the excitement and the crippling anxiety of starting a new life from scratch. Now, after 2 years, I feel a warmth and love for the place.  I don't know if I would feel the same when the winter comes though. Seasonal depression is no joke.  My new mantra for life now is to chill.  Praise the nature and find pretty little corners in the city.  Write poems.  Paint, maybe.  Seek positivity.  Love. Be kind to self. No rush. Read books. Just flow.

healing in progress

 Dear B,  What I learned from the past week is that I tend to take on grief from others in my family like my own. Even though there is nothing I can do about it to ease other's pain. Hence, I suffer internally.  There is a song that I deeply connect with:  Tu Jhoom | Naseebo Lal x Abida Parveen. It kind of goes like this: “What is meant to be yours will find you through any excuse. My heart, understand that there is nothing in your control. You just swirl (let it go)” My brother recently got rejected from a marriage proposal from a girl he really liked. It was arranged but this was his first experience talking with a girl. Seeing him being torn left me in tears as I know how much he was hurting. He is such a gentle soul. I took his pain as if my own and could not sleep at night. Nothing I say could ease his suffering but I still tried to cheer him up. I prayed genuinely for him to be showered with blessings. I want him to experience life, be with someone who would ca...
