Confession# 71

There's nothing more painful than giving exams. And obviously, the last-moment preparations for it. When you can't help but study because you had learned nothing but sleeping with eyes wide open through the whole semester.I am no mood for studying, but doing it anyway. Ugh. My life right now,is a complete mess.

And I don't know why I am being such an ass. I have so much to take care of. The dream to get into a public university won't just come true on its own you know.Honestly, I am not even that much sure of the board exam that's coming up. I could screw it, big time! My preparation ain't gonna get me an A+. So. Admission into some good university isn't something I should emphasize on right now. Because the big scary thing is already on my way to make it or break it for me.

I slept the whole morning.Woke up at 12 pm and had lunch. Then slept again for couple of hours. Woke up, bathed, had tea and freaked out at the huge syllabus for exam tomorrow. I totally hate it. This pressure to study all of the things in one night that I never even attempted to study the whole year...Life is so unfair!

And I've been thinking about the future lately.What would happen if I don't get what I've planned for? What if all of my friends get into DU and I don't? What if I screw up the HSC? What if I get an F on tomorrow's exam? What if nanu stays at our house for forever and I don't ever get a room of my own? I really don't want that. I need a place where I can be alone, some privacy. Apparently, nanu is planning to settle here which is completely freaking me out. I can't live any further with her being on that room because you know how dominating she can be.One thing to clarify-Doing the things that make you happy doesn't make you a selfish person.A room is what I crave for. And how could I blame nanu when nobody in the house seem to understand it? They don't care about anything I say of giving me some space. If only nanu weren't here, I'd be a happy little child, going back to the regular self and then the room would be very much of my own because staying with Api in one room is never a pain. I love her no matter what. And I miss those late night gossip and laughs with her. With nanu being in the room there's no chance I could have a talk with her while going back to bed. My sister is gonna leave me this December. I wanted this last month to be special.To always stick around her like a super glue. But now there's nothing I can do.

The person I want to live my entire life with is gonna leave me.And the person I would so much like to live apart gonna stay in. Life is so unfair!

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...
