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.

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...
