I don't know what to believe anymore you know.
In two days, there will be a change of a digit and I will be completing 20 years on this earth. In these 20 years, I am no near where I wanted to be. No near the things I wanted to achieve. But.
But I suppose, that's what adult life is like. You get separated from faith and fantasy and get more exposed to the reality of pain and confusion. Of course, it doesn't apply to everybody. There are successful adults of 20 out there. Who worked hard on themselves, who gained something in return.

It is time I accept that, if you don't put an energy on something, it won't have any outcome.
I have to put myself out there. I have to set a constructive goal and work toward it.

I can say, I am not scared of being Kind. Of being called- Innocent. Because, I have encountered people being ruthless, having no sense of character. And it only has driven me to be who I am right now on this very present. Just to make yourself look interesting, you can't just backbite. If you take pleasure by being called a BITCH then you are nothing cool. You know what is attractive?

Boldness of character. Not hypocrisy.

2016 has made the scope for me to meet new people and see things in different light and gain perspective. You cannot change a person for your own ego. You let people be who they are. You accept. That's what I learned. And why would I try fitting in? Why would I change myself or pretend to be cool?

Let's face it. I am nice. I am neutral with expressing hate. I am never going to transform into a bitchy personality, because the world is full of it. I like being this unique. I like when people get shocked by my kindness. I like when they see me, they see only the good.

I like it and I am not gonna change myself for anything. Here's to 2017. Operation more Self-Love.

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...
