Omg you won't believe what just happened this morning.

I went to college...ok that's kind of believable, because I had to get some official papers done....anyway so meeting him (my man crush back in college days you remember don't you?) was something hard to believe. Because he was supposed to be busy with classes. He used to be always preoccupied, as far as I remember.

So when I was like peeking through the teacher's room window, I could only see teachers from science department. I was fine however, I didn't expect him to be there. But then after I came out from our head's office I found him walking in the hallway. Just a second, we glanced at each other and I was almost convinced that I wouldn't meet and greet, I thought it would be awkward, he probably wouldn't recognize me. But then I thought, "When will I be able to see him again? No I can't miss this chance, besides, he already knows I am here, it would be rude if I don't say anything." Yes I thought these things in a second, while we were staring at each other. I would have missed him, he was already taking a turn but then I approached, for the first time ever I spoke out loud and clear to him! The college days, I was always shy to speak with him but today!! I did it. I felt awesome!

Good morning Sir!
He then smiled, I noticed he wasn't wearing his glasses.
"Good morning. How are you? He asked oh-so-warmly. Like he knew me so well.
I said I was fine and asked after him. He was busy after all so that was it. We wrapped it up , he was on the way to the hall room then...I don't know if he recognized me tho, I mean maybe he did, just my face, not my name. I felt that because it's been a year already and it's normal if he didn't.

I was also my way to the main gate, walking in front of the basketball court, craving a hug. I mean, if this were America, we would have hugged each other. I mean I would be the one initiating the hug. It's just, when you see your loved one after a long time, it requires it. A hug to fix all the missing emotions. I missed him so bad. I missed his jokes and all the nice things he used to say in the class. I wish I could stay in the college longer but my brother had exam so he needed the car and I had to hurry. I left the college playing back our conversation like I did in the old times.

I know this sounds cheesy but I think fate brought him to me. Whenever I craved to see his face, he came right before me. Like literally.  He just crossed my path. Not I. I mean how's that even possible...Today I knew he would be busy, I wouldn't be able to meet him, but I was wanting for one glance to see how's he doing. And boom! It happened. Aww it just made my day. :)

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...
