RE: Going back home
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It's been 3 years that we moved away from our home, the one where my two brothers and I grew up in. We lived there for two decades, and finally in 2020 we had to move because we needed a bigger place. My brothers are all grown up now and I also got married, so we had to move. That area was so well known to us, familiar faces all around. I doubt we'll ever have something like that again.
Now, even though the house is bigger, it just doesn't feel like a home, and nor can we call it our own.

Do you think you'd ever go back and live there? Would you even want to? I mean in the town, not necessarily in the same house.
I surely wouldn't mind, that place was quiet and had a fair bit of green too. We actually tried looking for a house there, but the houses there were just too old and small. That is why we just had to move out.
And even now we're not living that far away, that old area is probably about 2 to 3 kilometers away from our current house. It's just in a much older part of town.
Ah ok, so you're still in the same town.
I moved quite a long way from mine, much farther than a few kilometres, but I go through there now and then, several times a year I guess. I could go back and live there but it would not feel the same.
Do you think you'll even move to a more distant location? Overseas maybe?
Yeah, you can say that. And Dhaka is a small city after all, it's really small, but also really crowded too.
I feel like it'd be the same experience for me, it surely wouldn't feel the same.
I see myself leaving in about 5 to 10 years I guess, probably with my wife, or with my whole family even, depends on the opportunity and timing really. But where though? I don't know for sure. For now I'm just laying the foundation here, taking care of my parents and waiting for my younger brothers to finish their higher studies. The rest, time will tell, hopefully.
You're young, there's time to consolidate your position and think things through so that you end up in the right place. In the meantime just focus on living life as best you can as that's all any of us can really do.
I have something planned, it's not full-proof, not yet at least, but as I keep working on it, I surely am taking my time to live life every now and then, that truly is all we can really do.
Well, all the best with that, I hope it works out.
Thanks man, I know I'll need it. 🍻 Considering my streak of bad luck, I'll need every bit of support and the good wishes I can get my hands on lol.
