Day #102

I had a really rough week with emotional ups and downs. I keep obsessing over him, his likes on my feed, him viewing my story, these instant validations fogging my mind into having delusions again. Maybe he still wants me. Maybe we aren't finished, maybe he will call me again one day and we will catch up and be together. No matter, how secondarily I was treated while us lasted, I keep telling myself, we are meant to be together. When in utmost truth, we didn't hit the level of intimacy two people needs in order to be called a 'thing'. I cried my eye balls out again over him, I keep repeating the memories I had, I keep missing him day and night. I keep stalking his instagram like it is my oxygen and I can't do without it. I found his ex on a picture. And I stalked the crap out of her. There was a caption in her picture. It caught my eye.

The pictures were taken in nepal and the caption said in 2017, at this exact place she made the worst decision of her life. In 2020 she made the right decision with the love of her life. I hit an epiphany. This girl, she met him in 2017 and I heard a lot about that trip from him, that's the trip where they finally started being a couple. He was her worst decision in life?

He said lot of ugly things about this girl but I stalked her with awe. This girl is a social butterfly and also she is very hot. It hit directly on my insecurities. I am not his 'type'. I told myself. I am so opposite to the girl he dated. Why did he choose me? Why did he pretend he is into simple things, when clearly he is not? I tortured myself a fair amount of time. I told myself, I am not hot enough or sexy enough to be with him. YOU ARE NOT THE NASTY THINGS YOU TELL YOURSELF. Rung to my ear. I am absolutely fine as I am. I looked at this girl with nothing but awe. She is different, as she is. We are never going to be the same. The fact that, I wished to be like her, is absolute nonsense. Also, whatever they had, is in the past. Whatever they had is never going to be comparable to what we had. The timing, the situation, the place everything is different. I quickly drew myself out of the incessant nonsensical thought bubbles.

He is not my soul mate. He is just a mere experience I had, which I needed for a push. I needed to grow out of my insecurities and love myself. I need to stop being this overthinking, obsessive girl. Nothing good can come out of this. I need to chase my dreams, not a guy who can't value me. Whose life surrounds only himself. Who is not ready for me or unsure of me. I know I tend to fall in love easily due to my childhood trauma of being left out. But this gotta stop. I have educated myself long enough to know my worth. I am not gonna be some girl to be tossed aside.

I have to fall in love with myself. It is a work in progress but I believe I am gonna wake up one day, feeling good inside my body. Feeling good that I exist and I am wonderful and I am worthy of love and affection. I am kind and compassionate and the universe will be kind to me too. I deserve full treatment. I am worthy.

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...

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...

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...
