You want honesty? okay I am going to give you that.

I am not sure if I genuinely like him or I actually force myself to like him because I am single and I feel this urge to be with somebody rather alone. But I feel like I have figured this out. He doesn't like me that way, I think he just wants a girlfriend and he saw some possibilities in me as I was always blushing around him. It wasn't like that before. Before, we didn't know each other, he just hung out with his friend's circle, never actually bothered talking with me. But have I told you, these last few weeks, this last month, I had drastically changed, I had mixed with a big group and he was included there. So I don't know what he saw in me, he just started giving me attention, telling me I'm cute over and over again. And oh gosh what it did to me. Every day I would think about him, no guy has ever given me such attention and I just found him sweet and I don't know I felt like he wanted to be with me or something.

 Maybe my reaction told him otherwise. I was always shy to respond to him with good humor. There was this night he sat beside me and told something really deep and I was like not even meeting his eyes to give him the peace of mind that you know you matter to me as well. The first few days, he was active in saying sweet things to me, noticing me and all. And I kind of showed indifference. I don't know why I did that, it was so heartless. I was scared to expose my feelings to him, what if it's just all a big lie?

Then there is this other girl he always sits beside and talk to. He even walks with her. I saw that and it hurt me like no other. And that girl has a boyfriend. So I couldn't clear up my confusion what was it all about...Why was he so desperate before, always complementing me and stuff. Then gradually I noticed he stopped the flirtation, giving me extra attention- I thought maybe he gave up on me. And that wasn't good for my ego. I would crave for his attention then. There goes my dignity.

And yes I have figured it all out. He just needs someone by his side. I am that easy one he can approach to. Just be nice to me and I will melt like Popsicle. Maybe that's what he saw in me. I am so easily impressed. And it is so pathetic that he chose me as the last and least option. But to be honest, there were things about him I pretended to like, because I don't like to be rude. He tried. I tried. But I am not sure about us working out. We don't belong to each other. There's still something that's halting our way. We can't be. I guess by this time he figured it all out.

But one thing that he did to me. He has made me feel lonelier. I feel like I need somebody in my life right now. I am getting sick of being always single. He has distracted me. I wish I weren't to meet him again, ever.

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...
