Today I have to visit one of my aunts who came from Australia last night with her family. I'm psyched to meet her but also it's going to be awkward after this huge gap that taken place between me and her eldest kid.

So my cousin brother, who was a 7 year old maybe when they were in Dhaka and I don't know how the friendship happened. I was maybe 12/13? I forgot. Anyway, so he used to follow me around like a puppy, and I used to spend a lot of time with him playing because my mom used to go to that house frequently, most occasions. So yeah, I was forced to play with a kid. He used to hold my hand wherever I go, like that trip in Sunderban with his family, he was always clinging to me like I was his only friend. I can't blame him, he was a kid back then. But now that I think it through, what odd friendship it was! Then when he went to Australia, I kind of missed him and my aunt was added to facebook, so I used to see their pictures. He had a brother few years ago and now he's all grown up! And today I am gonna see him, it just feels so weird. What am I going to say to him? Would he remember his old play date? I don't know it's just fucking weird, I don't know him anymore. I didn't wanna go but my mother said they want to see me and if I don't go they will mind. I am just not that into it. Seeing people after a decade and pretending like we still have the bond is just so weird!

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!
