Big Girls Don't Cry

I'm eighteen and I still cry like a baby. I can't stop crying and dreaming. I just can't.
I cry until I get what I want. I cry because of insecurities. I cry because there's a pain in my heart. A pain, not understandable why.
what do I want? 
I want snow. I want to be happy again. I want to laugh. I want to breath. well not like normal in and out type of breathing. A long deep breath. An escape from the town, far far away, in the green,cold weather.I wanna breath till my lungs get all soared up. I want to sleep like a baby. Not just lying in bed thinking and regretting about the choices I've made in the past...a sound, profound, peaceful couple hours of sleep. a sleep that is unbreakable in the midway. so that I can wake up fresh,cleaned.like a new born baby.

I don't know how it started.But it's not ending. All those stupid little things that causing this pain are not going away. I'm crying over little things. but trust me it hurts like crazy. I feel like I'm in a gigantic dark round well and I can't get over it. May be this is because of the exam pressure. but I don't care anymore. I just cry all the time. I can't stop thinking about some stupid stuffs.

I'm just eighteen. I don't have to get all serious. I mean, I really don't need to think about how the money will come or about some serious shit. I should think about make-up or shopping , dresses, this and that. 
But I can't stop thinking about problems that aren't even mine.Stress, like a caramel syrup, it's getting all over my head.It's just all Messed up.I wipe it, I make it even more messed up.

I feel depressed seeing my daddy's face.He doesn't look the same as some years back. He's getting old. and why's that. I'm craving for a smile on his face. but looks like he's stressed too. He's got some serious things to deal with. He's got a load of responsibilities and work. And I'm, like a silly sally princess; crying, wiping, wasting tissues for no big reason. how fair is that?!

I have low pressure and my pulse are beating slow as last checked. My parents think it's because I'm not eating properly or skipping breakfast. But it's not how they think it is. may be those are part of the reason but...I'm just tired. I don't know why. But I'm really tired. And deeply upset. I guess, that's the  reason why I've been feeling so low.

I didn't sleep all night. I waited for the Fazar Azaan. Yeah, I prayed after a long time. I almost forgot I'm a moslim girl and almost didn't realize Allah is up there,controlling everything.
I didn't pray for forgiveness, good marks on exams or for some Sawab. Or even for the afterlife. I just prayed because I want some peace. That's all I need right now.

Life is not a fair game. I wouldn't even say that if I was put into some different place from where I am right now. 
May be I'm complaining way too much because I don't have everything that I want.But I have everything that I need.Well not everything. I mean, I need a squeeze, stomach aching hug right now , it's like 6 in the morning.no one's awake so no tight consoling cheesy hugs for now.


“I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

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.

long distance again

 I came back from my trip. It was amazing 2 weeks of my life. Seeing him again after so long felt strange yet peaceful. I finally got to be in his arms again. 2 weeks flew by and now I am back home and back to work and normal hustle and bustle of life.  He got an extension offer and decided to stay for another 3 months. It is sad because he was supposed to be back next month. He asked me if he should take it and despite having my heart aching I supported him in the decision. It is not confirmed yet but he probably be staying another 3. Another 5 months of long distance. How am I going to survive the winter by myself? I don't know. Honestly, in my heart, I don't care about how much compensation he be getting. I miss him so much and this long distance thing is killing me inside. Today is Friday night and instead of cuddles and movie, I am home alone. No plans to look forward. No one to talk to. I am the loneliest girl on earth right now. He is probably sleeping and not picking u...

winter together

 Dear B,  Sorry I've been so MIA. Here's the update you missed - My husband came back! He wasn't approved for those 3 months of extension. I've been getting enough cuddles and kisses to survive this winter.  Yes, winter is here. Never underestimate the Canadian winter. It's the worst. Everything is grey and dark. However, I am looking forward to going home in March. I'm so excited to see my friends again. Most importantly my parents and brother. It feels a strange kind of feeling. I am planning to 'visit' the place I was born and call home. It is definitely a new kind of feeling.  Things been okay. We are okay. I am glad to have him back.  We bought a new couch and a coffee table. It's still in back order and I'm impatiently waiting for them to arrive.  Can't believe only 4 days left to 2026. Time is flying so quick. Hope we talk again, B. I swear I missed you!
