My morning pep talk:

Self growth happens when you don't settle for who you are and you believe you can be better, you can live better.

There is no shortcut to success other than working hard, it is not a day's work, success is written when you do it consistently, when you don't give up on your goal.

You will never be happy if your happiness depends upon pleasing others. It is a fact. Be kind to others but don't let their expectations guide you. Or don't fall victim to your own expectations of them.

It is okay to not be loved, it is okay to be forgotten, it is okay to miss someone who doesn't feel for you as much. Maybe the reason you're missing them is, they are not available. It could be simply the lack of attention. Try detaching your emotions from your physical needs. Sometimes, we feel lonely because we are horny. We are not mentally attached, we are physically craving. It is okay, it is biological.

It is okay to take a break from a routine. There should always be a room for playing around, getting creative, get on a new project that might hamper your sleep or your usual routine. Let your heart feed on your passion. 

You don't have to validate someone just so that they stay in your life. If someone truly cares for you, they wouldn't need validation to stay. They would find good enough reasons to stay.

If someone is pushing you away, it is not because you lack something in yourself. It maybe because they are going through their own personal battle and they don't want you right now. Respect it, move away, back off. Let them have their space. They will come back to you when they're ready. And meanwhile, don't brood over them or what you could do to make things right.

We criticize harshly of ourselves. Take your focus on other things. Be busy. Don't let the mind boost on your insecurities, instead, invest the energy on good things, kind things.

It is okay to be kind and sensitive. Don't try to blend in. Be proud of your unique attributes and reflect it, flaunt it without being apologetic. Don't think just because you are humane, you have no space in the industry, you definitely have places where you can fit your personality and shine bright. Don't ever think you are not right for the job, instead believe that-the job is not right for you. 

Most importantly love everything about yourself. Even the uncomfortable part. The ugly part. The not so lovable part.

I know it is easier said than done, but have patience in the process. Maintain consistency. Don't give up.

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...
