I guess I'm just annoyed at everybody for living their perfectly planned lives and me on the other hand, clueless of my life and goals. How am I supposed to get a life this way? When I am constantly blaming people for moving forward, their goals, creating their future and for making things more challenging for me. Making me unclear of what I want. I wish seeing them could work as a motivation to me, but it's just all so depressing.I don't wanna prove anything to anyone, I just wanna get a life of my own. I just wanna get outta here. For some weird reasons, all I could think about is leaving this house. My family. I feel like, there's a whole new life out there where I have to end up. I feel this urge to leave this confinement and just completely spoil myself out there. Then I stop and listen to myself telling these things, these stupid little things, and I shake it off. Because I am not going anywhere. I am stuck in here. I am confined with my parent's dreams, I am confined with making them happy and proud, I am confined with everybody's decision. That's the way it is. And let me be pissed. Let me be pissed at everyone for getting their shit together. They are not helping. And I feel too down to help myself.

These times, I talk to myself. Cause hello? Is there anyone in this planet who understands me more than me? I talk to this voice inside me,Not so weird I promise. She is my optimism. 
"I'm pathetic."
"No you're not."
"Look at my face. What do you see?"
"I see your soul through your eyes, nothing scarred it, you still have good in you."
"That's bullshit."
"Okay then look by yourself. Can't you see it? It's not too late. You're still a good person."
"All I can see, is a face covered in pimple and acne scars."
"I didn't say look close, I said look deep. Look in your eyes.Your thoughts."
"Why are you talking to me anyway? You are no one."
"I am your good thoughts."
"You make no sense, and I feel ugly and sad and dreamless."
"You don't have to say this things to clarify. Take a break from it all."
"Again, you're making no sense."
"Stop saying those things to yourself like a mantra.You're not lonely or sad or dreamless. Just cut yourself some slack. Literally, hug yourself. You're not pathetic."
"But I don't know I just feel like I am not doing what I should at my age. I haven't accomplished anything yet, I haven't done anything splendid."
"You are just nineteen."
"And half."
"Whatever. You should forget those cliched things you said you feel.There is no certain timing.Like you still can enjoy see-saw rides or sucking a strawberry lollypop right? Just don't think it's over for you cause it's not."
"But...I am a lazy person. I sleep like a pig."
"I am afraid it's true. But here's the thing. You're not lazy, You choose to be it. It's you, who takes control and it's you who takes no action against laziness and sleep."
"So you're saying?"
"Get yourself out of the lazy island. Do some work. Plan it. Be technical."
 "I am just too lazy to do that."
"Then. Fuck you,Fuck you very very much."
"Hey I was listening to that song today, no wonder why it's stuck in my head."
"Our head."
"When will you stop talking to me?"
"When will you start doing what you gotta do?"
"I don't know. Tomorrow?"
"Okay. Great. Why not now?"
"I am tired."
"Fuck you,Fuck you very very much."
"Tomorrow. I promise."
"You promise yourself that. Every night. And I haven't seen you keep it, ever."
"May be this time, I will. And please shut up now, I have to get some sleep."\
"Who am I to keep you from sleep? Have anyone ever, on this planet, succeeded to keep you from your very own sleep hours?"
"Yes."
"Uh. Okay you know what? I am gonna shut up now."
"Thank you "
"Sleep tight."
"Oh I will."

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...
