 After a week of doing night shift schedule, I am here basking in sunlight. I realized how much impact sun has on our moods and body. My new routine is certainly affecting my mental state. It is not that I am depressed or anything. Honestly, I am too busy in week days to be depressed. I just feel dead inside. And it is all because I am seeing night time more than day time.

My office started. Getting out of home feels so sane. I almost feel like a human now. I talk with my colleagues, share frustrations, eat the office food, and complete my designated tasks. This gives me satisfaction.

My tendency to connect with people on dating apps and stalking my ex flings has reduced down to almost zero. This is a sign that I am tired of the bullshit.

I want love, I do. The kind of love I am receiving is, well, very much replaceable. I do not want to be someone disposable. Good energy, communication, empathy is my love list.


I am not thinking too much of my career right now. As I have been on this for 3 months approx. I need more time to settle where I am now. Learn a lot of things. Be of some value.

To be rich, I need to incorporate some habits of investing. My assets are zero now as I make so little money and most of them goes to spending.

My parents have never hesitated to pay for my basic necessities but I still feel guilty to ask. For the past year, right when I started making a little amount for myself, I payed for my expenses. Though I could not manage to give back to my parents anything. I tried to reduce the expense of them having a daughter.

Shampoos, lipsticks, cosmetics, shoes, dresses. 

I feel good to be affording myself. And if I get this job at the end of this training, maybe I would be able to give back something to my family. I look forward to that.


You know, I had given myself a hard time with money in the past. I am glad that even now, when I am kind of affording myself, I still do not waste it on unnecessary things in life. Maybe this habit will help to save up enough for travel. My child hood dreams need to be saved. That little kid wanted to travel. Maybe I will give her that.


At this point of my life, I have a purpose. 

When you get a purpose, everything in your life will point you to that direction. And you will want to live despite the hurdles. 

You will want to wake up. You will want to look forward even the darkest of times.


I miss my friends though. In the midst of working, I kind of lost connections. I did not fancy this. One of my intentions of getting a job was so that I could get out of home and spend time with my friends. It is just being difficult to manage that. My work makes me mentally exhausted and this pandemic doesn't help at all.


Will see. I will try balancing it.


Anyway, just wanted to update you on how things been going.

It is going good. 

I haven't forgot you. My teenage self had spent too much time on you for venting. You'd be happy to know, whatever important and unimportant things happen in life I come to you to write. I like you as my habit.

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...
