My definition of a perfect world


In a perfect world, I’m lying on my queen-size bed, snuggling with my newly adopted cat. Manicuring my hands. Having a perfect view of the sunset through my windows that have seats built in. In a perfect world, I have plenty of time to practice literacy and appreciate life. I have the perfectly long hair and the perfect pitch to my voice. A natural glow in my face. In a perfect world, I have the pimple free skin. A perfect round of diet, with the consistency of ice-cream. In a perfect world, my surroundings are vital. I have someone who loves the sound when I giggle. In a perfect world, there’s sickness, caring and letting go of things. There’s messing up, there’s failure. There’s sweet- sweet torture of missing someone close to my heart. In a perfect world there’s everything, yet there’s desire. Desire. There’s fantasies. But there’s no- regrets. In a perfect world I’m a traveler. Who’s also passionate about music and art. In a perfect kind of world, I am feminine effortlessly. In a perfect world, there’s happiness. Sweetness of living. In a perfect world there’s no happily ever after but there’s  moments. Just moments giving me happiness of a lifetime. In a perfect world, I have someone, someone that feeds my soul. In a perfect world, I get to cuddle in bed, skin to skin. Have tea and talk about life and stuffs. In a perfect world, there’s love, there’s hearts and flowers, there’s serendipity. There’s light, there’s hope. There’s beastliness, then there’s what’s left of it- irony and beauty. In a perfect world there’s no war, no stupid serial killers or suicide victims. In a perfect world, there’s just appreciation, appreciation of aliveness, truth and beauty.

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...

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...

"Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you.”

“If I had a camera," I said, "I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life." "I look exactly the same." "No, you don't. You're changing all the time. Every day a tiny bit. If I could, I'd keep a record of it all." "If you're so smart, how did I change today?" "You got a fraction of a millimeter taller, for one thing. Your hair grew a fraction of a millimeter longer. And your breasts grew a fraction of a—" "They did not!" "Yes, they did." "Did NOT." "Did too." "What else, you big pig?" "You got a little happier and also a little sadder." "Meaning they cancel out each other, leaving me exactly the same." "Not at all. The fact that you got a little happier today doesn't change the fact that you also become a little sadder. Every day you become a little more of both, which me...
