Waiting desperately for a new beginning.

2015. A remarkable year for me. Unlike every year, this year has actually made me realize how the world is out there. How to act in a grown up way no matter how much childlike nature I have inside of me. I think every person has a child inside of them, that's why people say- "Act grownup." It's all an act, keeping the mind in illusion. Pretending you're worthy to be called an adult, taking responsibilities and fulfilling them.

 How much I have to learn. No there's no measurement there. It's all about how much you can gain, not about how much is there. And I am up for it. I will let myself free off the boundaries and image. I will embarrass myself until I get to the point where I can completely be myself. This is almost the end of the year, the time to reflect.

I think God wants you to face your insecurities and your biggest ones. Because once you do it, you get courage. And it's a great reward. I am not anti-social, I just get anxious in front of people, mostly strangers. And from next year I'll be doing BBA. I'll be facing lot of challenges and I have to be outspoken if I want to succeed. I have to be the opposite side of me. And it's going to be stressful. Because being in front public and giving presentation is like my worst nightmare. I have panic attacks whenever I am about to give speech of any kind. This is like thinking outside of the box for me. I am in the process of taking all in and be confident about it.

This new year, I pledge to be confident. I pledge I will be awesome at whatever I do. I will sort my life out like I sort my files. Life is an assignment for me now. And I am excited to get at it.

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...
