Read through my old diary, of 2012. As it turned out, I was quite sensible when I was younger. And dramatic, I gotta say. But life was easy. My happiness relied on, watching a movie or having touch pad on phones, or just getting to sleep in the weekends.

I have stat exam the day after tomorrow. I haven't started studying yet, for some reason...I feel no need. Haven't I studied enough the whole year, at college just to impress my teacher whom I was hopelessly crushing on...Yeah. So I don't feel it, The rush to finish the syllabus right now particularly this subject.
My sister's exam is gonna end tomorrow, she's so lucky. I have four to go. Then I will be left with the grand one-the admission tests. My life sucksss.

 A moment ago, Anisha came wearing glasses. A 3 year old with nerdy glasses. Can you picture the cuteness? Anisha is at the stage where she repeats every word she catches in her mind, she did so today. I find it cute rather than annoying. She now can speak thoroughly and makes more sense in talking than we grown up sisters do. Cute and stout.Mysha and Anika came along with her too, and we had a nice chat. I realized, I had too much to talk about and I was babbling mostly and they laughed pretty hard. I was useful too. I warned them about duck face selfies going out of style and that sparrow face is trending. And we measured our heights in the mirror at the end. That's what we normally do, whenever we get together. We measure our heights and it's a competition. If Anika is getting taller than me despite the age gap, that it's a matter of concern. Aww how much I missed us goofing around. Mysha turned out to be an anime freak and she kind of opened tabs after tabs in my browser, of Japanese Manga. And Anika I feel she's changed somewhat. Like in a grown-up way. Before, she used to play a grown-up and act all lady-like but now I feel she really has grown. She's funny, she's got kind of down to earth attitude, she's more different.

I thought I almost forgot to talk, thank god they came to pay a visit. I was dying of boredom. We decided a trip after exam, this year. A family trip. And we also planned how to convince and manipulate our parents into this. I am so not studying today. It's so good not studying and thinking about a trip somewhere in the mountains.

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...

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.

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...
