Day #113

55 people died today. The number is always fluctuating. When you look at it as a number, a statistic, you would think, a country with almost over 161 million, having death rates with 2 digits isn't much but if you put them on a microscope, this 55 people have families, among them are somebody's fathers, mothers, daughters, sons. Everyday people are getting infected and it is not new anymore. We sit in front of the TV with our afternoon tea and watch the briefing with concern that, this virus thing ain't going anywhere anytime soon. This is our life now. At home. When all our lives are still at risk. Stress, financial condition, the economy moreover the health, both psychological and physical. My friend texted last night, how she just wants 2020 to be over. And I couldn't agree more. This year is a complete blunder. It messed us all up. I don't look at the future anymore, I don't wanna think what would come next, I only dream backward now. When we had a normal. When we could smell flowers, walk down the streets, greet, hug, smoke pot, eat junk food and still complain about our lives.


I've been trying to keep myself busy. Doing a course online. Taking classes too. I have to learn the ukulele but it is surprising how I feel like now 24 hours isn't enough for a day. Time feels short when you're busy.

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!
