I am kind of in a denial right now. I am not accepting the fact that I am utterly depressed about everything. Going back to that place. I was adjusting just fine. I liked being with my friends. But after this break of a week, I am not sure if I am ready. This week has given me time to process what happened to me within this two months I stayed there. I kept myself thinking at night, remembering things said and been told, all those flashbacks. Not everything was a happy memory. I had bad days also. And about my friends. Are they going to stick with me or leave me when this semester be over, because I had a really hard time making friends...I don't wanna lose any of them. I think I've never cared for anyone that much. I was always putting a border in friendship, I was afraid of closeness. Now, I have shared an awful days with my friends and deep inside, I really care for them. 

One thing that has happened to me couple times before. The people I started to become good friends with, the people who made my days brighter and full of laughter, left me. I still remember Ankan. She was my best friend. We used to taunt each other but at the end of the day, we would look forward to another meet up- another adventure in school. And Ann. She had this dark humor I always liked. They were all I needed to wake up in the morning and leave for the class. Really, now I think about it, my college life was invisible without their existence. Now these people, I don't have any idea about how they are holding up. I don't chat with Ann anymore, and Ankan, she doesn't call me. I am not calling her until she cares to dial up my number. SO both of them, whom I had spent a great deal of my school and college years with, are completely disconnected with me. I know nothing of their life. They also don't of mine. 

I fear this.When I started caring for these people, this fear kept growing that they will forget me after this semester, we won't be friends anymore. I have a little hope that T will stick with me because we have the same department of study but I don't know about others.

I am also unsure of me. The reason Ankan and Ann gone mute is that, I also don't take the initiative to call or arrange a meet up. Ann is outside the country so, I really don't see us hanging out anytime soon, but I could easily stay connected with Ankan. SO I am partly, actually we three are equally responsible for this break up. So I don't know if I will stay with those people I call my friends now. I may drive them away, or never talk to them again. Happened before.


But I won't let myself. I will try my utmost to keep our friendship together.

Because I cherish them. I really do.

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...

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...

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...
