I hate it when someone tries to control me. I profoundly hate it!
But there's no way to get away with it now because I have a control freak living in my room for- I don't know how many days, months or years she gonna stay. I am gonna suffocate, seriously. My intuitions tell me, I'm gonna suffocate if I spend another day with her...You know who I'm talking about, right? My beloved grand-ma who thinks I am obliged to her which I am not, I hate it when she tries to get us back on shape. I know I am reckless, lazy and whatever. But she has no right to change me or my habits. I am not an infant. I am eighteen years old, I know my choices, its consequences and I know what to do with my life.
All I want is some space from her, but she happens to always interrupt me with her whole controlling system. I get that she's a senior, I should respect the perspectives she often makes, but still. Why doesn't she understand I don't like it when she tries to change me>? I am not going to change, not when she's wanting me to. Why doesn't she get it, her advises mean nothing to me and I often don't listen to her bullshit? But who am I kidding? She goes on an on and questions my parents every now and then for not raising me right. Shitty woman.
Last night I spent sleeping on the couch away from my own room to get away from her. In the morning I woke up to her scream, that I am not supposed to sleep that long. You have no idea how I was frowning inside while she was crapping me. She even scolded my mother for spoiling me with affection. How dare she! I know she's my family, I should obey her and all that. It's not like I say these things to her face, I don't say a single rude word trust me, just because she's my senior. I've been tolerating her all this time.

I just want a single minute without her trying to control me with everything. Every freaking thing! Made my life a living hell!

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...

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...

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...
