I am kind of having a hard time to collect my thoughts. I feel like I am in midst of a chaotic life situation. I think I get easily influenced by people and it is not a good trait. It especially does not help when you are taking an important life decision. The horror of making a mistake stops me from having experiences; having fun. You know what scares me the most? My family saying 'I told you so.' I simply don't want them to be right. Na-uh. Can't let that happen. 

I want to be the architect of my future. Here comes all these judgments and advises from family, which I highly don't appreciate. I wish they knew the context of my life. They barely know what is going on. What I like and what I don't. The fact that they still feel entitled to choose what's best for me is hysterical. 

In this world, the people I now hold close to me are people who are going through similar phase in life. I have infact turned deaf to people I don't show my true self to. There is no point in trying to abide by rules of others because it is absolutely impossible to make everyone happy. I am maybe stupid. I am maybe emotional. I am maybe making mistakes but those will be my mistakes. My personal issues and my own set of struggles that I have to overcome myself. I don't want other people to be in remorse for that. Gosh, this sounds more and more idiotic as I think through it. Why do people give so much fuck about the societal rules! Why is there a timeline for everything? Why can't we just live a little instead of being in constant stress to settle in life? 

I just decided that I am going to be a rebel. I have most of my life accepted bullshit from people. Not anymore. I need to evolve to my full self. In order to do that, I kind of have to listen to myself. I hope I stay true to my words.

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.

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...
