There is surprisingly a calmness in watching people rush. There is something about the street markets. Repeated verses of - Madame we have this, we have that, just stop by our store. Do they know how much that bother the customers, or I don't know, is it just me. When I am buying something I don't like the seller and his assistants shadowing me. This is one of the reasons I hate shopping. Those idiots keep asking and asking without being any help. I somehow managed today, to buy pretty things tho.

There surely is. A space of tranquility in a space of noise and crowd. You might not notice if you're lost in the chaos. But if you for one second stand still where you are, look around, look around to all that busy faces, street people buying and burgling street things, beggars hanging around saying the same dialogue to every man and woman they come across that they haven't eaten all day(I wonder how they rely all their lives on the humanity of others) cat fight among young girls passing the street, cars facing with parking trouble, drivers shouting, dogs barking, all comes together like a movie scene. A chaotic hot mess. Nobody stops movement. Goes on and on. The noise. The people. The cars. The horns. The dialogues the shopkeepers say like mantras. But if you standstill, Hear yet not listen closely, Look around, you will find out yourself what I am talking about.

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!
