No matter how many times I have to pick myself up, I will be there to pick myself up. No matter, how much I feel like, I can't go on, being happy, I start to look for ways to make me happy, and even sometimes, MOST TIMES, it doesn't work, I still persistently somehow make it work, make it at least, to survival of the soul. No matter, how broken I feel, I mend those pieces together, with tenderness and compassion and I stand up and I carry myself, I take care of my heart. Everything that I need is within me. I don't have to look elsewhere. It is here.

I cried to the point, where I felt, it is not possible to get over it and it felt so heavy and I didn't see a point in working on myself, for someone again. Today, I was feeling mentally down, since the morning but I don't know what happened, sort of like a magic, I realized,  I don't need him to want me. I don't need him altogether. His course in my life has ran out. I shouldn't drag this anymore. I should let the universe be the judge of my fate and handle my pain and let the chapter of him, be closed, or be done or be in pause or be in whatever, I don't care. I can't feed on the amount of attention he is willing to give on me, if I live like this, I won't ever find happiness. I will cry and cry and run out of tears. There's no one person for us. There's no one fit. There's no one soul mate. I will have love, when I am ready. He is not the only one. There will come a time, when the right person will come along, love will be right at the corner and I will not have to question myself. Right person will put my insecurities to sleep. The right person will not be tired of seeing my face. Or loving me.

I reached out to my cousins, they are my baby sisters but they're so wise and thoughtful. I love them. Talking with them felt so much better after. I really recommend it, whenever you're feeling the sadness is overpowering, just reach out to your close ones. It helps a lot.

I think I am gonna be okay. It doesn't matter how many times I say this. Or try this and that. All that matters is, I got the courage again. I let myself guide me. I am taking care of my soul.

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...
