If only a year ago, he asked me out, I would've said yes to him. I would've loved him with all my heart. I don't know what got to him lately ... He held my hand today for a while, my past self would've jumped up and down with joy, that he finally is noticing me and saying all the sweet things a girl wants to hear, saying you're pretty over and over that it is losing its meaning now. I don't know what I feel for him anymore. I needed a validation he is giving me that. I never imagined myself, actually expecting him to be unreal for a second. To be completely catching me off guard. why did he made me feel like. He is going to ask me out for real this time? If he actually liked me he would've noticed all the other things than the way my hair strands fall on my face. If he liked me, he would've known how much I like to be in the background while everyone just talked their hearts out. I am afraid, he is only going to like me on my look good days. That thought is scary. I wish he didn't have this much power over me til this day.
He has been a long story in my life. This two and half years feel like a decade. I have changed myself a lot. He had been there...all my bad look days, my happy days, my exhausted days. He had been the only person, for whom I started singing so much. Alone...in public at times.
Why is it that whenever I remember him, I remember me, changing myself for him?
Why couldn't he just love back  then, despite the way I was...despite the way he was...I secretly wish now. This is all a joke. Just a joke to make everybody laugh at me...because at the moment, I cannot imagine anything better...see the consequences? If he asks me out, I'll probably say yes to him, and what happens after that? I don't know any other way to keep him interested other than the fact that he only enjoys my looks.
I want to be more than that. For him I don't know how to be more than just being pretty. Like why everything that he says to me ends with that word. I'm starting to get accustomed to that word. No matter how much it makes me feel validated .for once. I want to be called something else..I want to make him laugh.. genuinely enjoy my company.
We are two different people. And if you want me to get out of my head, I would still see this as a silly move. We don't belong together. Universe knows that.
I used to brain wash myself, stay 30 feet away from where he stood, didn't apply myself around him much because that way I was hurting myself less. The obsession still built up, telling my heart no is apparently makes it more appealing . You can't stay away from the thing you get momentary joys from. You can't deny your heart, when all it wants to do is watch his moves.
He gave out so many confused emotions .I'm utterly confused and pained and looking through my left over feelings, I almost got a closure and now he again, is spoiling this for me. Entirely throwing water at my carefully built up work. I don't know if I want him now...if I do, I can simply get him. But I don't know what I want...this is not fair. He shouldn't have been so late.
I can't even hate him now... He is being extra sweet... He is a jerk alright.
I wish he was nothing to me .I wish I could think about somebody else above him. This is a torture. I can't even tell my friends because they would probably assume it as a joke...why did he make it seem like it wasn't then... Oh gosh. This is a real life drama. I'll keep you updated.

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...
