Life has become blunt. These days I am talking too much of life. It is becoming tolerable and tasteless. Don't feel sorry for my vocabulary I actually wanted to use these words.

I am feeling for those people who would have taken drugs on this stage. I know what they would have gone through. It is like losing the essence of aliveness. Nothing is interesting. No excitements there. Either worry or anxieties. Either bed or sofa. Either panicking or restlessness. Either silent or sleep. In literal, being a living dead.

All those depressing thoughts just made me live unhealthy. I sleep over hours, eat nothing at all and then eat like a cow. Whenever I am depressed, I get really reckless over my skin. I don't clean, I don't moisturize. I feel like a garbage can.

Mostly, I feel like a bad person doing this things to my body. Not staying healthy. Not doing hard-work, it's like affecting me as a whole. Maybe because I am a nice person I feel bad. What if I smoked like that girl in our class. What if I took drugs like those people in the streets. I could do worse. I am not. Instead, I oversleep and eat unhealthy-like, don't wash my body nor hair and write all about it in my secret blog. I mean you have to give me credit for all the goodness I have still left.

I want to be successful. And I won't get successful like this. Knowing that doesn't help. All my energies are spent on meaningless things. Nobody listens to me the way I want them to. I want my voice to be heard yet I don't tend to hear it myself. What do I want?

There's plenty of things that only make sense in my head. Not in reality. Like. Dancing. I like dancing. What if I were pursuing dancing as a career. Life could be so much fun. Photography. Music. Everything sounds aesthetic. Studying four years without the guarantee of getting the job I'd love, doesn't really. If I had money, seriously saying, If I had just the enough amount of money, I would pack my bag and fly to Santorini. There will be no one I'd listen to. Do you know how much it hurts staying in one corner of the earth when there's heavens out there? I feel so deprived. The rest of the world is a fairy-tale to me.

And I tell myself I am an impatient person. To have the patience to deal with this life that I have. I am not ready. I am not ready to pass four years in business school, graduating and then maybe or maybe not get a job. Because that's too obvious. I wish I could gamble my whole life into something I would passionately love. I would passionately care for. I would passionately live for.

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...
