Sometimes it's nice to be sad

Sometimes it's nice to be sad
Everything will be alright

Sometimes it’s nice to be sad. It makes you feel like you actually matter in this world in some twisted way or form. I listen to sad music when I feel down; not happy music to make me feel better. I feel like I’m walking in a world that’s running. In those moments I tell myself to breath slowly and I look at a different object every couple seconds to calm myself down. Although I will wake up most days and face to the best jams of the century and do my hair and makeup and dress myself because that makes me happy. And I will go to meet my friends and laugh over stupid jokes because that makes me happy. And I will come home and watch Knowing Brother (아는 형님) or Return of the Superman (슈퍼맨이 돌아왔다) because that makes me happy, too. But sometimes it’s nice to be sad.

2019, You Taught Me Many Things! 💓Thank You💓 This year, 2019, has finally come to an end. This past year has truly been a year of growth and learning for me. I feel it is just like yesterday when I picked up my laptop to type Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019 back then in January. As 2019 comes to a close, I took a moment during these past few weeks to reflect on what has just happened and with that always comes a little reflection. Like many people, I have been thinking about all the things I did and learned this year and I am thankful for both, good and bad experiences. As  a type-A, plan-my-life-out, (actually there is almost nothing spontaneous about me and it is always something I have to consciously remind myself to do),  most often I am the person setting goals and working hard to achieve them. I worked hard for the things I love. I still haven't lost my dream of becoming an author or illustrator. I love writing and drawing. I am trying to make and create exciting char...

Feeling grateful and blessed

I got a random question from Instagram: How to become a great person? maybe this is an easy question, but after thinking about it, it turns out to be a bit difficult to answer. After thinking about it for a long time, my answer might be something like this, “I’m working on that myself! There’s no definition of being a great person. Everyone has different morals and povs. What I do is I just be the person I feel like being at this moment and if I make a mistake, then I learn from it and try not to repeat it, and eventually I'll be happy with the person that I was in this life." also, in my opinion, another thing that can be done to become a great person is to always be grateful. Oops, is this too deep? Sejak awal pandemi, sekitar Maret 2020, tuh gue gatau disentil apaan jadi sadar banget that I blessed with all the things I have now. Everything is enough. I won’t ask for more. Mau ngeliat temen-temen udah pada jauh di atas gue pun, gue udah di tahap, “ I’m genuinely happy for ...

UI-CREATES; It creates a long-lasting friendship and memories

Universitas Indonesia Credit Earning Program for Students Excursion to Saung Mang Udjo, Bandung Since being a buddy in early 2018, it has been a very important part of my college life. From that time my calendar each month works around the programs I could participate in, which made the best semester of my life. And this year, it happened again. I got a chance to be the buddy for another short course program.
