It's been raining since I don't remember. The sound of it, so peaceful and the thunders just make it heavenly than it already is. I feel just so blessed that unlike the people in the street, I have a roof and a home to keep me cozy. And it's so beautiful out there for me, because at my house, in my room, I only see the beauty of it. This is to me a blessing, that in the ugliest of ugliest possibilities, God has given me somewhat luxury. And I am genuinely thankful for that to Him. He just saved me off a lot of struggle and starving and hardship via genetic lottery. Though I sometimes wish to switch lives with Charlotte, the new born princess of Cambridge, then again who doesn't wish that! Every girl wants to be a princess. I know I do.

Anyway, what I meant to say was, this isn't bad either. I love who and where I am, right here, right now.  I got this one life, and no matter how I spend it, where I spend it, the years I spend it with are what matters to me. That I have both my parents now, I love them so much and I thank God everyday for them to exist in my life. When I don't think about the future, when I am completely living in the present, I feel happy and content like this, I quit being sad and I look at the blessings I have which I may not deserve, it's been given to me like a gift, like almost a miracle that I am here, my loved ones are here and I am still alive and happy. Thinking about the future stresses me, but not when I dream about it. And tell you what. I dream pretty wonderful things. Not unicorns. Seriously what do you think, I am 4?

I have my petty desires but I am not an unfinished project. I desire because I have passed those basic needs of life and now I am in hunt of self accomplishment. So dreaming and desiring aren't such a bad thing when millions of people are dying in wars,famine and deadly diseases. If those people weren't dying in wars and having a perfect normal life, they would be dreaming too. It's what we humans do. We get all stressed up and sleep for hours, deal with depressions while we're in luxury. While we stay fed and while we have this roof over our head. Being sad, isn't obvious, it's a luxury we keep, because those poor people, they're only looking for to survive and depression is a fancy word for them. Surviving? We have long passed that one now. So our needs are different, our stories too. Us unhappy doesn't have to do with wars and famine. Us happy doesn't have to do with surviving and having square meal a day. We are among the desperate people, trying to establish ourselves as individuals and so our notions take many twists and turns. 

I am among those needy people who are looking for to have more out of life and who still hasn't figure out what to do with it yet. Still, STILL I'm happy because, Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful.

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!
