 Dear B,

Glad to report you that I am very much alive. So far, my family is doing okay. So grateful for surviving each day, each week. It is a blessing from Allah. 

I have submitted my internship report. Waiting for the final presentation of my undergrad study. Can't wait to finally be a graduate student.

For now, me and my friends are planning to apply for post grad abroad. For next year intake. I need some fund. Which I have to manage from my aunty or uncle because my father has already so much in his shoulders. Can't pressurize him like that.

My internship is still going on. It is till November. I just sincerely hope, me and my family survive this through pandemic. Nothing else I wish or hope for. 

My mental state is better. Some days are hard. I try to keep in mind, life is not always going to be a smooth ride. And I try to be in the present moment instead of worrying about the future. I think it is better like that. 

My dating life is on pause for now. I just don't get time or energy to talk with new connections. However, I am very much open to love. I have forgiven my past and all things I said or he said and move on with good memories. I am not at all in bad terms with him and honestly I am so happy that whatever happened between us, I stayed my authentic self and told him everything that was in my mind so I don't have any regrets of it. I am proud of myself for not being scared to be vulnerable in front of him. I am walking away with my learnings from this and I feel so content now. And that's what matters.

Dear B,

I am stronger than before. And I feel the shift. This year has been a very unique lesson for me. I never thought I had it in me to come this far.

Indeed, everything that happens, happens for a reason. 

Signing off.

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...
