Dear B.

I was doing absolutely okay until I heard his voice. His song. Someone recorded him singing way back in july and sent it to our group chat. The moment I heard his voice against my ears in headphones, I realized what trouble I am in. A big trouble. I am madly falling in love with him.

I couldn't stop listening to it...I don't know for hours maybe I kept it ringing in my ear, until my phone battery went to eight percent I stopped and stalked his profile pictures. The latest pictures had captions. He wrote them...So nicely. His use of vocab was on point. I like that photo of his two friends, caption mainly, in that photo one of his friend is sitting on another of his friend and the caption was somewhat like one was his life's FIRST friend. The other is that one person who can never be replaced, knows everything about him, his deepest darkest secrets. I have seen this picture before even I met him. He was in my class first semester but we didn't exchange a word back then. At that time, stalking his profile had such a foreign feeling, he was practically a stranger to me. I was interested enough to stalk only because he shared our group photo in the last english class and I was there and someone tagged me, so I found his profile. Little did I know, in the next three months he would step into my life and wreck my mind. Challenge my thoughts.

Here's the thing. He has his plate full. I saw all his photos a while back, read comments. His girlfriend's comments. His friend's ones. I don't fit in his story. Nowhere near. I can't tell if we had a proper conversation. All he does is tease me about random things. We never had the conversation two friends would have. I don't know what we are, what I am to him.

The moment I saw his picture with his girlfriend, all the madness I felt for him kinda went off. They fit so perfectly together. He loves her so much. She is so pretty and smart. Although she is just pixels on the screen for me, we never met but I can tell this girl has something in her. And him. I saw his earliest pictures, like six years earlier, and I gotta say it shocked me a bit. He was nowhere the man he is now. He has become so sophisticated and good looking in these four or five years. I am crushed on his soul. He doesn't know how much I think about him. I wish I could let it all out. Tell him. 

I love him, I truly do. You can't choose whom you love. That's just happened to me. 
Do you understand how much fucked up this is? It's five in the morning. I can't sleep. Hearing him singing after so long left me sleepless and dreamy. I pictured him sitting next to me, with that ukulele ....I should stop thinking about him like this. He considers me a friend. I should too....And this will never work. 

Irony so, I know his plan. He is going to graduate, go abroad maybe Canada, along with his girlfriend who'll be his wife then and they would have kids later on and upload family pictures on fb. And I will stare at them. 

You know what. I should start focusing on my study and career. He is never going to love me back. He doesn't even know. And even if he knows somehow, he will never feel the same way, he will pity me or something. Let's just. I should sleep now. Hopeless. Everything in the world is hopeless for me. 

He is quite something tho. It's been what almost four months since I passed my last semester and he hasn't escaped my mind since. 

Pathetic and fucked up. So fucked up this is.

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...
