Childhood
My Awkward High School Moment
Hey, I'm Shubmana, and I've got this story that's still a bit cringy to talk about, but I guess it's time to share. It all went down in my high school cafeteria, the place where the daily drama unfolded. I was just a regular teenage girl trying to fit in with the cool kids, or at least not be seen as the biggest dork. Well, one day, that plan went awry in a major way.

The Books on a Shelf
My parents were not into home decorating. One time they went out to buy a piece of art to cover a bare bit of wall over a sofa. They went to the store and fought in front of the framed pictures for three hours. They came home with a water lily painting by Monet because that was the only thing they could agree on. This story kills me because I can't think of anything less style-neutral than a water lily painting by Monet. In any case, we owned four humongous bookcases which covered most of the rest of the available wall space.

Homeward (Second part)
My obliviousness could keep going just so lengthy. I heard murmurs through the recently shaped breaks in the familial walls; detected a hurling exhaustion at my appearance. I heard accounts of food and AC controllers being covered up, protected from my avaricious mouth and hands. These came from the equivalent mamis whose cooking had once coaxed my Noakhali stomach with such excitement, the equivalent chachis whose thick flavors I had ravenously guzzled down for a whole adolescence.

What is one sided relationship?
When it comes to relationships, it’s important to be aware of potential signs of an unbalanced connection. One such sign is when one person consistently dominates conversations, making it difficult for the other person to contribute their thoughts and feelings. This can create an imbalance of power and hinder open communication, as one partner may feel disrespected or unheard. Additionally, a lack of reciprocity in effort and decision-making can indicate an unbalanced connection. If one person consistently puts in more effort to meet the needs of the relationship, while the other fails to do the same, it can create feelings of resentment and dissatisfaction.

Homeward (First part)
At the point when I was conceived, my skin was dim, similar to my granddad's, in whose arms I found my most memorable home. Family members old and new, whose failure was being breast fed by my folks' fair appearances, looked from far off as my stout cheeks softened into the sleeves of my dada's stained half-sleeve shirt.

Relativity & Perspective

21 years too Late
At some point in most of our lives we've been heartbroken by someone. That can be a parent, relative, sibling, friend, or romantic partner. Or all of the above. In many of these situations we never receive any type of closer. Leaving us to hold on to the pain, and find ways to bring ourselves closer without actually receiving it from the ones that hurt us. I am a master at burying feelings, so I never really deal with anything. That is probably why I didn't realize I needed this apology, but with so much happening in my life lately the universe just keeps throwing me curve balls. I feel it's all part of my healing journey honestly.
