Tomorrow is the big day. The more I tell myself not to think about it, I'm thinking about it. It's not going to be the end of me tho. I mean whatever grade I might get, I could eventually overcome it by passing the varsity test-the ticket to my desired road. So, I shouldn't actually get distracted by the result tomorrow even if I do well. This will not be the end of me like I said, there are many more exams to attend and results to receive in life and so this is just the beginning.

I guess I'm worried about disappointing my parents. I don't have much expectations, I know I can handle a bad grade or so. But the tension arises, when I have to face my parents. They have a group of families to tell my result to. And if I don't get an A+, they'd be ashamed in front of them all because of me. And I never want to deprive them of their comfort, their pride, their statuses. This is the scary part, I have no control over my results now, I did what I could in the exams and the results have already been checked and double checked so all we're left to do is to wait and see it unfolding in front of us tomorrow.

I'm missing Api. Today, when I put on her old slippers(That she no more uses) before leaving for coaching, I felt her beside me. As if she was telling me everything will turn out okay, I don't have to worry so much. It was good having her last time, when the ssc results came out you know. I was terrified the night before. She comforted me, like she always does, when I'm in a situation like this. She would say- "Been there done that!
Ask me. When I was your age,I used to have these vivid dreams about failing board exam. Happens. It's a world shared fear, and good students always underestimate themselves...You will get A+ puchi, this I know."

I at least had a support-system in the house if something went wrong.
 She's in a different house now and It doesn't feel the same. I'm missing her so much. How am I going to sleep tonight? It's nerve-wrecking! Tomorrow is the result of the final board-test! God knows if I have passed even?!

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...
