yours truly

Maa,
I thought you were different. Apart from those people. But it was just a thought. Misunderstandings. We've had them. A lot of'em actually. But despite of your imperfections and everything that I might not like about you, I accepted you. Like you accepted me when I was born. when I was in your lap helpless and crying for your affection. But now, I'm not that baby anymore. I need freedom. I want privacy. I've grown. I don't tell you every little secrets that I've been holding. I keep it to myself. and I like it like that.
Because You don't understand me. You just can't. It's not your fault. You are from a whole different world and we have so many differences.You didn't encourage me to be truly free. All you did was screaming at my mistakes, regretting over me. I know it's there. The love, it's still there. And it's unconditional. Because it's a mother's love.I don't question your love, trust me I don't. It's just some of those stupid moments, you hurt me with no intention. But I get hurt anyway. I feel sorry for you, when you compare yourself with me. because we are heading to a total different direction, and we are in such different positions. It can't be the same. I'm not you. SO stop comparing your time with mine. Today is not the same as yesterday. It's a brand new day.

I wish you got all the privileges like mine. I really wish that. Because may be I don't value them the way you would. But you really can't just throw out everything on me. And stop saying that I've got no feelings. Cause I've got feelings. A lot of'em.  and I'm trying my best here.
I know I don't say things like I Love You, and kiss you in the cheek. or hug you randomly, expressing gratitude or apologizing and stuffs like that. Because I'm not good at it. I can't just say sweet words and still not be awkward by it. And I really don't know how to be all silent when you're coloring my mistakes, or questioning my character, or blaming me for stuffs I don't even do. I mean seriously, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't have any love affairs, I don't even have any guy friend. So cut that crap and be cool about this okay? I'm still your innocent little daughter, And I wouldn't do such things to make you down. ever.

I admit. I admit that I don't respect all of your opinions or values. Even sometimes I just tolerate them. But I accept you as my mother, because mothers are like that, they beat the crazy outta you in times, and you can't do anything about it. All I want from you is  a little trust. Believe in me. Believe in my instincts and I'll believe in yours. Don't treat me like a trash. I'm your daughter. Your perfectly planned baby. You know, if you are gonna raise me like this, you didn't have to give birth to me in the first place.
But you did, and I love you for carrying me in your womb for 9 freakin months. Not just me, you gifted me with a twin brother, so yeah, someday I may feel or understand the pain you're having because of me, but today, you've got to understand mine.

And please! Don't do the work of F.B.I !! I beg you. If I'm up to something wrong, don't spy on me, just let me come to you and tell you. It's my humble request.
 I wish I could explain all these to you, cause I know you ain't gonna read all these, I'm not gonna let you anyway.
So you are not changing, and I'm on the same page again. I wasted all these. Clearly.

I love you, I loooooooooove you. And there is no shame to call you my mom, I love the way you are. You are slightly irritating, I can tolerate that, after all you are my big fat crazy mother. We'll have a lot of fights, arguing over hypothetical issues and you won't ever let me have a boyfriend or go on dates. Fine. I'll deal with these for now. But I will never stop fighting with you. And I will never stop loving you.


__Your daughter who is annoyed at you right now.

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!
