The good news is I am healing. The pain is 2 out of 10.  So I can walk and do other normal things without flinching.

In the previous post, I have let out all my frustrations and how I am not so happy with my friends. I even used the term 'pretentious'.
Well aren't we all a little pretentious? Today I feel more positive and I understood this one thing. Parents are the only people who is there for you selflessly. It would be silly to seek selflessness from your friends. And it would be sillier to want to have more than what you deserve to have from them.
So yeah I might have misjudged my friends. I may have let my personal feelings and the things I was going through get in the way of our friendship. To judge them like that, I have to look at myself first.
Have I been a good friend?
No. I was barely there this semester, and I barely have been honest with them about things. I didn't put myself out there much for them to realize what I was going through and how I felt so negative and left out and how I always played the victim card. I realized, I didn't put much effort to have the right to say, I've been nothing but a good friend. So there is no reason to be upset about this. In life, I will have these situations come and go. I would lose people, people won't always be authentic toward me, and neither will I.

And I can't be alone. No matter how I think I will be fine by myself, I won't be. So I guess I will be okay with whatever happened, it can be forgotten. I choose to move on. I choose to stay with my friends and make my life less miserable and lonely.

I didn't give them the scope to understand. To be sensitive toward me. They weren't so aware. So it is not their fault. I feel more positive now, and I feel that there is no point in pointing out flaws with other people and be frustrated about them. Everybody's going through some struggle in their lives themselves and you just have to focus on yours. How you can get through yours. So I am okay now. I have no grudge against anyone. I am looking forward to working on myself and be a better human. Cause I know I have it in me. I can be better.

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...
