So on the month of may, we are probably gonna move houses. It is so sudden I know.

Our family have been living here since my mother got married to my father, since my sister was born, learned to walk and then talk and then me and my brother were born. We've been a joint family for all these years. I've never been alone in the family side. My cousins were there to play with. Then us, siblings, we grew up, after 20 something years, we grew apart. For a family feud that took place between my father and uncle over a piece of flat. And then, my brother took it so seriously, he got badly affected, he heard voices in his head, thought there were spy cameras, invading him, fixed by my uncle and then we came to realize, he isn't mentally well. He got diagnosed with schizophrenia. I don't know if that resulted from family issues but it surely did harm the mental harmony of my brother's health and nothing can be compromised now. We need a change. He needs a change. I need a change from all this.

The corners of my room, the varanda, every part of this house holds significance to my childhood my teen-hood. 20 years in a same place, same location, same apartment. I mean it is a big deal of us moving. But I crave some change. I cannot see anymore of this family conflict. I can't bear the fact that I am not allowed to go to my own uncle's house and meet my cousins. I can't bear the fact that my auntie didn't wish me on my birthday just because we are on a family feud. It is better to lay off- live in a distance so I don't have to sit and watch all these crap they put up for us and disrespects my parents. I am so done with their shit.

So yeah I cannot wait to go to our own new house and make it a home.

On a completely different note.
My finals gonna be over tomorrow. And the next semester, I have a cross schedule which prevents me from seeing singer guy. I don't know if I am over him yet. I mean he sees me more as a friend and in the most unromantic ways but also sometimes it makes me wonder what if he ever felt more than that. What if he liked me. And I just ruined every chances with him. I mean there's like o.1 percent of him thinking me romantically and 99.9 percent of the time thinking me as a friend or a sister. But what do I know? What are the chances of things being flipped?
Fuck it. I know I am overthinking again. I mean I still have a little affection left for him. I don't think as much I used to think about him before, but the thought of him comes back after an interval. It is not completely gone. Maybe seeing his face less in the next semester would help me to get over it. Or make me feel even worse. I don't know. At this point I am just looking for a new face. Someone who would pick up where I leave off and mentally connect with me. And just. Love me back, and make me feel like I exist.

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...
