him

I'm afraid this post is gonna be entirely about him. And I know it since last night. When I couldn't sleep thinking, that was the last class he took of us. And even I talk frequently enough of him in this blog, I don't think it's ever enough...to sum him up. Nothing I write will ever be enough.

He will always be my favorite teacher. I know at times, I didn't pay attention to his class but it doesn't change the fact how amazing he is. You must be wondering why I'm using pronouns, why haven't I mentioned his name ever when I am crushing in all sort of way on him. I don't say his name because that's how respective I am of him. You see, I never picture him as my boyfriend or a life-partner, I just picture him as he is. He is someone whom I developed a sophisticated fondness in. And I will never get over it.

It's like he's on a stage or something, doing a play. And I'm watching him. Falling in love with every line, every detail. Like an audience, I don't give away much. He's in the spotlight. And there's only adjectives of him. He doesn't know how awesome he is. He doesn't know how kind, sophisticated, intelligent, honest, truthful and humorous he is. That's what makes him so special. He knows how to make women laugh, without being rude, Without hurting feelings. And that's what I search in all men. He makes me smile, a smile that I can't wipe off the day and when I am thinking about him. He's an Aries. Like me.

Yesterday, at the last class, a girl in our group cried on his shoulder. When I saw it, I kind of judged myself. If I wanted that. If I actually wanted to soak that side of his shirt with tears. No! Hell no. Even my inner slut doesn't permit that. I like him but there's got to be boundaries. You can't just cry on his shoulder like that. I get that she was emotional and couldn't control but this is beyond inappropriate. To hug him like that and sob in his shirt. That was the moment I realized. I actually didn't love him the way I thought I had loved him.

And it's time to move on. He's done what he's supposed to. Be a good teacher. He's been excellent at it. I actually feel jealous of those freshmen. They're gonna have him for another year. I remember this quote Ankan wrote in my diary- "You don't need a lifetime to love somebody. Love is a moment that lasts forever."  Exactly. A moment unforgettable. So it doesn't matter if I'm not seeing him anymore after hsc.

I never imagined I would come across people like this. It was a privilege being his student. And I am glad I'm leaving as one.

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!
