I don't like jumping into conclusion before I am perfectly aware of any matter. When I am into something, I am deeply into it, when I am not, I am passionately not.

I'm feeling alone. I am alone. I am so alone that I can't sleep. If a person was in my room right now and if I had to be silent, I would  delightfully be. It's not like I am craving to talk or anything. I am just...I guess, I am tired of this feeling. I am tired of thinking that this is my life. I have to live it like this. And that I feel marooned at my own house. I feel like my soul deserves to be elsewhere, and I want to end up there. I want to get a life, so I can forget how lonely I am. How disordered and unfit I am. Even my writing says it.

 Here's a confession.
I think have obsessive compulsive disorder.   (OCD) Judging from the symptoms I have.
I repeat actions countless times to be sure. My thoughts are obsessive and I have no control over it sometimes. I label memories. I think I am a bipolar. I think that I have cancer, I often think I am gonna die pretty soon. I have a sleeping disorder. I have it for couple of years now. And whenever I get acne, I give my hopes up and loathe myself. I often question people about myself to be sure, to feel secure but it doesn't work.  I get really frustrated when things don't work out like they should. I don't have any obsession dealing with cleaning or like keeping things in certain order. But I don't know for some reason, I think something is wrong with me. I often think I am not likeable. I am often in doubt with myself. And so I just, I feel that it is unavoidable, and often I would try to fix it, but no matter how hard I try I just end up failing. I end up frustrated, sad, defeated by my own thoughts. And I find myself alone to be dealing with this. So I conceal what I feel. I pretend that I am happy and not lonely in midst of a crowd and I try to believe it, I try to believe I'm happy.

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...

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...

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...
