so you can see what I can't say.

It's pouring outside. Seriously weathers like this... (speechless) Music, Rain, Daydreams don't go well with my textbooks. Annoyingly distracted from studies right now.

See how nature has an amazing impact on our mind? My room is filled with fresh air, the sweet-sweet smell of earth and the calming sound of rain. So today, I started reading Ellen  DeGeneres's Seriously...I'm kidding. I gotta say, she's one of a kind. Too much talent and humor in one soul. I'm helpless because I have English exam the day after tomorrow, So I couldn't continue but once I started, I couldn't really take my eyes off the book, it's enticing and I'm already half way through it.

You know, this past year, I've learned so much about myself. I realized that I enjoy literacy way more than I enjoy stuff like bookkeeping or mesmerizing Finance math equations. I learned that maybe I am not just into the things I thought I was into. I am a business student. BBA, MBA, Bank jobs do attract me. But there's this other things too, that I might not be so passionate about, but I love and appreciate. Like reading short stories of Tagore, getting a good laugh via Ellen's book, Music and Art. I don't know maybe it's time to explore a bit. Fact is. here people chase after what they think would bring money and solvency, they go after jobs that they might not even like. And universities, they pick you subjects unless it's a private one. Another fact, private universities cost a fortune. So you wouldn't really dare asking your parents for it. I don't know, I'll study anything as long as it doesn't bore me.

You get this one, just one life. And I feel like, I'm not spending it right. I feel like only if I were to born again, I would make my every decision count. I would study perfectly on high school, I would be an extrovert, not like this shy, I would do everything right. I would speak up to my mother about how much I love music and how much I want to learn to play musical instruments and singing even though I've a terrible-terrible voice. If only I had second chances to live, I would finally confess to my father that I suck at all of my subjects, I suck at Accounting. I would tell him about my real dreams. Travelling the world. Or try writing for the first time. I would do anything, just to make things right. But I can't. I am financially depended on my parents, I'm 19, I am a screwed up HSC candidate and there's no do overs. I dwell on my dreams, I simply don't think I do even half of the work it requires to materialize those dreams. So they stay right where they are. In my mind and in an unrealistic, mythical world.

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!
