WHAT IF

WHAT IF EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTLY TIMED?


What if you are exactly where you are meant to be?

What if right now is the only option?

What if this was your only timeline?

And what if you could trust that everything is divinely orchestrated? Divinely timed?


So, spend this belief for just one minute.


If you knew that.

If your life biography, the chapters of your story

Were divinely timed 

And were chosen for you, by you.


If you knew that,

Wouldn’t you just live?

Wouldn’t you just trust?


Live without fear

Live without worries.

Live without regrets and what ifs.


Now, imagine if you feel that every day.

Imagine if every day you woke up and thought, 

“What do I have to lose?”


 This life is here for the taking.

And I’m gonna try everything.

And play with everything.

And see what feels fun and what feels good.


Coz when bad things happen,

And they inevitably will,

Instead of “Why me?”

You’d ask yourself, “What can I gain from this?”

“What can I learn from this?”

“What can I take away from this experience?”


Maybe it makes you stronger, wiser, and more resilient.

Maybe it makes you the powerful being that you are right now.


You can’t do anything in this life wrong.

Nothing can be messed up. 

There’s no timeline missed out on.

No person that you missed out on.


Trust yourself.

Let the pebbles fall freely from your palm.

And allow them to fall where they may.

And know that you are right on time.


There’s no need to rush.

When you are exactly on time.

Right on schedule.


There’s no need to rush.

When you are exactly on time.


Surrender.

Let go of the reigns.

And trust in your divine life unfolding.

MY BELIEFS ABOUT WORK AND MONEY THAT SAVE MY LIFE - LIKA-LIKU PERJALANAN GUE KERJA

-

Dulu, gue ga tau apa itu belief, apalagi yang namanya belief system. Gue hidup dan menjalani hidup begitu saja - seperti bola yang menggelinding bebas di jalanan. Now that I learn about belief and belief system, gue jadi tau bahwa my beliefs about work and money have saved my life multiple times. Ini lah secuplik lika-like perjalanan gue kerja. *** Pertama kali gue cari uang sendiri adalah saat memasuki tahun kedua kuliah. Alasannya standar: untuk bertahan hidup dan agar tetap bisa kuliah.  Bokap gue meninggal tepat di hari terakhir ujian semester kuliah tahun pertama. Nyokap gue adalah ibu rumah tangga biasa. So, tidak ada jalan lain, gue harus bekerja. Saat itu gue rasanya bingung banget. Gue belum pernah kerja. Gue ga tau ke mana dan gimana cara cari pekerjaan. Gue underestimate diri gue yang hanya seorang mahasiswa semester tiga. Gue ga punya skill apa-apa. Gimana mau kerja, coba?  Maka, gue memulainya dengan mendaftar beasiswa di kampus. Yah, paling tidak itu bisa membuat...

I QUIT MY 9-5 JOB AND CHOOSE TO LIVE IN UNCERTAINTY - BEST DECISION EVER!

-

  My last so called 9-5 job was the most epic moment in my life. Magical banget, persis seperti angan-angan yang gue sampaikan pada seorang teman. Ada sedikit ceritanya pada bagian akhir di sini . Itu bukan pekerjaan pertama, tapi adalah yang pertama yang bikin gue merasa passionate banget and I was well-paid. But then, I quit and chose to live in uncertainty. And it was the best decision ever! Photo by Kateryna Hliznitsova on Unsplash *** I quit my 9-5 job without a plan. Resign. Udah gitu aja. Well, ada sih rencana: istirahat. Gue pengen break dan menata ulang hidup gue.  Entah kenapa gue udah kayak filsuf aja saat itu, tiba-tiba merasa lelah sama hidup, lalu ingin pergi belajar tentang hidup.  Beberapa minggu setelah resign dan pindah dari tempat tinggal yang difasilitasi oleh kantor, that scary thought mulai creeping in: “HOW CAN I PAY THE BILL?” Kerja boleh berhenti, tapi kan hidup jalan terus. Karena tujuan resign gue jelas - pengen contemplating dan belajar - maka...

IS MARRIAGE FOR EVERYONE?

-
Image
Gue sangat bersyukur hidup di zaman sekarang di mana keran informasi dan pengetahuan mengalir deras terbuka melalui berbagai platform. In a way, kita jadi teredukasi, jadi belajar, jadi berpikir, dan mengundang pemikiran lebih jauh melalui pertanyaan semisal “Is marriage for everyone?” Lalu lanjut dengan pertanyaan, "Can we say no? But why does it sound compulsory?" Masa-masa keemasan becanda ala “Menikah itu enaknya 10% doang. Sisanya uenak banget” sepertinya sudah kehilangan pamornya untuk digunakan sebagai flexing stage level hidup seseorang yang merasa sudah lebih tinggi daripada lawan bicaranya yang baik secara ngerti atau ga ngerti sebenarnya sedang gaslighting . Walaupun begitu, di tengah maraknya topik perselingkuhan baik dalam cerita fiksi layar kaca maupun thread trending topik yang diedarkan berdasarkan kisah nyata, institusi suci ini tetap berada pada kedudukan yang berada jauh di pedestal sana. Tetap dikejar dan diinginkan banyak orang. Akan tetapi, apa benar en...
