Alright, so this will be a long, year-end post. So bear with me. This is a highlight of my entire year, and 2014 was a very very bitter sweet year. January- You can feel the light start to tremble The year began very mellow. Until my cousin Fabihas 14th Birthday. Thats when my grandfather broke his leg. He was confined to a bed. I looked after him. Him and I were close February- Im just a boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am Since grandfathers cripple, things have been tough on me. I was skipping school a lot and spending most of my time looking after him. You have no idea how hard it is to watch someone close just deterioate day by day and just be the shell of the man he once was March- So I put my faith, in something unknown Im living on such sweet nothing Im tired of hope with nothing to hold Im living on such sweet nothing The heat is progressively getting worse along with everything else going on in my life. Grandfather suffered a stroke. I was getting very worried about everything. And on top of all that, one fine day I went to school. For the last time. March 27th 2014, I was expelled from the place I called home for 11 years. I couldnt see how things could get any worse for me and my family. That was me, in my lowest point April- My feet are on the ground My eyes look to the clouds The heat is killing everyone. I enrolled in a new school, a new beginning. I was hopeful. Maybe this is when things finally turn for me. Maybe this is when life decides that Ive had enough troubles and just turns things around for me. And things were gonig pretty well for me...until life made me realize I got too comfortable with it. It took away grandfather. April 22nd 2014. We laid grandfather down to rest on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon as the red sun stared at us from its throne May- And Im ready to go Lead me into the light After all the crap that I had to endure beginning this year, I was rewarded with some time off. May 4th my family and I went to watch the Amazing Spiderman 2 and that was something we needed after the death in the family. Props to Samanzar, Sumaita and Marium for staying by my side during the tough time June- Only today theres no tomorrow Leave all behind In this place theres no space for sorrow It all piled up to this. All that shit throughout the first half of the year, all the complications, it all piled up to this memorable month. First week, we shifted back to our old house, that my grandfather built. Week two, I gave a very important exam with very little prep but I still felt satisfied. Week three, the world cup began, we went out to Kashimpur for a very memorable weekend and returned to attend the Pop Expo. June of 2014 is one month that Ill cherish forever. July- I was the one who cared after all Things were going really good for me. Sleepless nights of football and Ramadan, gonig to bed at 7 and waking up right before iftar, those were the days. Thats when life came around to remind us that no one is safe. On the last day of Ramadan, my great grandfather died and we buried him on a wet afternoon. That man was a fighter till the end August- The seasons change our hearts will stay the same Got a new family in the form of friends from the comic book scene. School reopened and the pressure kicked in. Comic books were my only bliss from out of all this September- Like angels singing in a million voices The end is where we begin Another death rocked the family. Nafiss grandmother. Nafis, Fabiha and I basically grew up together. She was like my grandmother too. She came to visit just two days before her untimely death and she seemed more alive than she ever was. Nobodys safe from death. We buried her in a very beautiful graveyard on a windy and peaceful afternoon. October- Reflecting on my past life and it doesnt have much time This is when I found the yin to my yang. My best friend. Her and I had so much in common. But all good things must come to an end and that is what happened. November- Now Im holding on The end is where we begin right? This was another very memorable month for me. First week I ran rampant around the streets of Dhanmondi doing charity work. Week two, it was the event of the year. Comic Con 2014. And I cant express in words how magical this experience was. This was the best weekend of my life till now. Watching the stalls set up at 1 to see the heat increase at three and the crowd go wild at 6. This was it. This is what Ive been waiting for all year. The lights, the people, the comics, the friends, the music, this was me. This was home. I also met a great friend there, Afifa. December- Its safe to say Im lost The year ends like it began, on a bad note. After a series of bad events and me losing a very close person, Im just waiting for this year to end already. It was a great ride, but its just dragging on. Rest in peace, grandfather, great grandfather and grandmother. You will be missed. Goodbye 2014. Youve had highs, youve had lows. Im not sure if I like you or not, but the one thing Im sure of is that I can never forget you.
