day 91

Felt  a bit feverish yesterday. My parents were worried sick. I am okay now, but I feel kind of lathergic. I stayed home all this time, I don't see a point in getting infected. It would be so ironic.

My final semester's results were published. All I am left with now is the internship. I can't believe I almost finished my undergrad. Time moves fast.

I kind of took a break from the routine. I wake up a bit late but sleep well at night.

I am taking an out of sight, out of mind approach with him. I kind of restricted his feed on my social media, the less I see of him, the less I think about him. I hope I stay persistent on this techniic, I kind of cheated yesterday, took a peek after like a week of break but yeah from today, I am gonna be strict.

Yesterday, a celebrity I loved and adored, hung himself at his flat...He was very successful. And this is the lesson here. We think that success defines mental serenity or satisfaction, it actually doesn't. You can have everything you want, you can still be unhappy. One of his interviews, he said and I paraphrase- I have everything that I once thought would make me content, a car, a house, all those dreams I had when I was a boy, right now afford it, but it's like 95 percent boredom and 5 percent of excitement with all those things. You just have it and then you're done, you move to the next thing. What's next, what's next.

He was so talented. I felt really gloomy after seeing the news. The lesson is, stay in the moment. Embrace the present, not the future, the process, not the outcomes.

I hope I come out of this quarantine with wisdom and practicality.

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.

long distance again

 I came back from my trip. It was amazing 2 weeks of my life. Seeing him again after so long felt strange yet peaceful. I finally got to be in his arms again. 2 weeks flew by and now I am back home and back to work and normal hustle and bustle of life.  He got an extension offer and decided to stay for another 3 months. It is sad because he was supposed to be back next month. He asked me if he should take it and despite having my heart aching I supported him in the decision. It is not confirmed yet but he probably be staying another 3. Another 5 months of long distance. How am I going to survive the winter by myself? I don't know. Honestly, in my heart, I don't care about how much compensation he be getting. I miss him so much and this long distance thing is killing me inside. Today is Friday night and instead of cuddles and movie, I am home alone. No plans to look forward. No one to talk to. I am the loneliest girl on earth right now. He is probably sleeping and not picking u...

winter together

 Dear B,  Sorry I've been so MIA. Here's the update you missed - My husband came back! He wasn't approved for those 3 months of extension. I've been getting enough cuddles and kisses to survive this winter.  Yes, winter is here. Never underestimate the Canadian winter. It's the worst. Everything is grey and dark. However, I am looking forward to going home in March. I'm so excited to see my friends again. Most importantly my parents and brother. It feels a strange kind of feeling. I am planning to 'visit' the place I was born and call home. It is definitely a new kind of feeling.  Things been okay. We are okay. I am glad to have him back.  We bought a new couch and a coffee table. It's still in back order and I'm impatiently waiting for them to arrive.  Can't believe only 4 days left to 2026. Time is flying so quick. Hope we talk again, B. I swear I missed you!
