Today went unexpectedly well. It could've been better tho. I mean. Yeah sure it was unexpected and sudden plan but I still expected it to go swiftly. It almost.

Then I was tired. And for some reason I felt like I was plotted to do something I didn't.

Here's the thing you need to understand about me. I don't get twisted circumstances, unless I am spoken directly. SO you have to tell me exactly what you want or I won't get it at first. I will get home and then get what you said. It's not that I am slow(I'm kinda slow) it's just that- I'm an after critic. I have an absence of wit and currency. I have the presence of it when I am alone in my room, replaying all the moments spent, feeling like the silliest girl on earth. And I am so not worth it. I am not an infant. I did what I thought was right at that moment, I didn't think that I would be misjudged. Look at that- HOW complicated I sound when I'm home? It's where I over-think stuffs. That is not a good thing.

I have no big heart, not like everybody has it...I am thankful no matter how I express it. But sometimes (most often) my actions speak differently about me. I don't like my image. I don't like what everybody thinks of me, because I am not that person, I am in loathe of being that person. I am not the quiet, unfriendly image. I am the giggly gossipy- can't never keep a secret type. I don't understand twists or the people who expect highly of me. I am not that. And I have no idea why I am having these weird feelings and why I am trying to explain it because it's just so frustrating when I don't understand things. Now I realized. I like people who are straight-forward. Who tell bottomless things to your face. Those kind of people I can abide with. Others are just aliens to me.

Anyway, for what I've known and learned is that- when someone is counting out gold for you, don't look at your hands or the gold. Look at the giver. That's a quote actually. And it's an awesome one.

So at the end of the day- I am thankful and I might be going bed early tonight. This is the highlight of my oh-so-miserable-week.

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...

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.

healing in progress

 Dear B,  What I learned from the past week is that I tend to take on grief from others in my family like my own. Even though there is nothing I can do about it to ease other's pain. Hence, I suffer internally.  There is a song that I deeply connect with:  Tu Jhoom | Naseebo Lal x Abida Parveen. It kind of goes like this: “What is meant to be yours will find you through any excuse. My heart, understand that there is nothing in your control. You just swirl (let it go)” My brother recently got rejected from a marriage proposal from a girl he really liked. It was arranged but this was his first experience talking with a girl. Seeing him being torn left me in tears as I know how much he was hurting. He is such a gentle soul. I took his pain as if my own and could not sleep at night. Nothing I say could ease his suffering but I still tried to cheer him up. I prayed genuinely for him to be showered with blessings. I want him to experience life, be with someone who would ca...
