My mother was never in support of me. I always felt like she was ashamed of me or something. We don't have a close bond. She is a stranger to me for the most part. She hurts me in ways she doesn't even know or care. Today she said why in the first place she gave birth to me? I am such a waste of a child. 
I won't have a baby, ever. After this. I won't want a baby because I wouldn't be able to provide all the things in the world my baby would want. I am obsessed with babies but you know, when I see myself, failing at everything, so unimportant in people's lives, I tell myself. I wouldn't want another of me, to exist in future and suffer. I don't want my traits on it. Unless I am incredibly rich, provide for everything, I wouldn't want another life suffering like me in future. 

You know, I have had enough of it. Listening to all the money problems and the way I live my life. I am just not the daughter they want me to be. 
But do I not beat myself up because of it? I don't buy food in the university cafe because I feel guilty wasting money on food. It is not that I don't get hungry. I better keep myself starving than waste my parent's money on food. They already are paying for my education and soon they will marry me off to a stranger to transfer the burden they have been carrying since 1996. 

I am not a saint. But how can they just say mean stuff to me everyday. How much less of a daughter I am. I try my best to fit in this world. I try to be good and kind to people. I mind my own business. I am not a bad person they portray me to be.

My brother and sister have made them proud in multiple ways. I am just a middle child, struggling. I am a trouble. They regret having me. I am just a curse. Allah sent me to pain them with. It is okay you know. It is okay, I guess I deserved this. I should've had not exist in this world at all. To ruin their perfect little family. If I weren't here. Everything would've been so easy and breezy. 

Do you not see why I sometimes feel killing myself?

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...
