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.

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...
