I like to read my old journals. I learn more than I think myself to be. Because the time I write is different from the time I read it. It could be months or years, and mostly I forget what I have once written in months. And I finally realize how I change through a month/year just by leaping through pages of the journal I kept. SO here is the start of the 2015's. It consists of just one entry, because I am too lazy this year to write something up everyday, and I figured, I am in short of a diary. Reading today this put a smile in my face and I've realized how ridiculous I am/used to be. :

Don't touch your hair.
A mental note to myself because I touch my hair, significantly. Soft, rough, edgy or whatever condition it's in, I just touch it to feel like I'm a female with hair unlike Miley Cyrus. But the problem is, many times, I end up pulling my hair out in a painless repeated motion for which I feel guilty afterwards. And horrified because I don't have much hair on me as I should at my age.I envy gorgeous hair. They make me hate myself, I feel ugly and insecure and concerned that my hairs are falling off. Look at that. I nearly covered half page of my new journal talking about hair. Applaud me on that.
It rained today. That might be the cliched thing to say. I hate this thing I am writing on by the way. I hate how this looks more like a phone book. I hate how short it is to cover the whole year. Also I hate spiral things.They're easy to rip off. I can rip off the page where I talked about hair and my habit of touching it.By any chance will you, yes you there reading this crap,will you excuse my handwriting? I know that's a shitty font for a 19 year old but what the hell. Don't judge a journal by its handwriting. Yeah I totally made that up.

I am not aggressive as you think maybe reading this. Oh so you judged me? Okay. I take criticism pretty well. But I'm not aggressive, trust me on that.People say, I can be overly sweet and annoying sometimes. Here's the thing. I'm not confident as I am in writing. I'm vulnerable in talking with people.I suck as a conversation starter. There's an infinite list of things I suck at. But I think I am a good person in a sense that I don't hurt people. Like I don't murder them.

I'm a good girl in a sense that I don't sleep around with my boyfriend, the fact that I don't have any. And that I am respectful of my culture, though not deliberately. I'm as pure as flower. Meaning that I'm a 19 year old virgin with no guy friend. Doesn't that make me one hell of a good girl?
Talking to strangers is nerve-wrecking, talking to guys outside your family circle is much more nerve-wrecking.There.My real reason for not having a boyfriend when most of the girls my age do. And side but not least among the reason is that I'm not pretty. I mean I can be pretty gorgeous wearing make up and make sexy poses in selfies but god. I'm not pretty! The conclusion. The maiden fact; I'm not pretty.

I'm a good girl because I haven't been caught watching porn. I don't even like porn. In fact I get offended by it. But I watch it when I am bored and when I have access to it. I am a teenage girl with Wifi.You tell me.

Conversations thrill me. But I don't engage myself much in that activity. I could be a good listener than of a talker. And I'd feel awkward most of the time. So. yeah. I am delicate, easily embarrassed and I could be a pain in the ass if you don't handle me right. Learned something about me now? Okay. Good.

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!
