Pink and Fuchsia: #88LoveLife volume 2!

"Dear God, 

Thank you for creating another magical piece known as a "cry". The feeling of seeing someone cry warms my heart, because it simply shows how fragile and connected we all are. And, the feeling when I myself cry, it brings relief and appreciation to life."

Pernahkah kamu merasa begitu lelah dan ingin menyerah saja?
Aku sedang mengalaminya saat menulis ini.

Have you ever been so tired that all you want to do nothing? 

That at one time, you just want to give up for everything you have done, you have been fighting for. That life, is somehow seems unfair. 

Have you ever got that feeling?

The next question is, what do you do to make everything better? 

Fight or flight?

Face it or avoid it?

Have you ever heard about labeling theory?

I got it when I was on Social Psychology class. 

It is said that labeling means defining someone's behavior as right or wrong based on their origin (groups,environment, family, and friends). Not because they are truly right or wrong. One wrong thing that was done by a person, could be defined as right thing if it's done by another person.

See?

Who likes being labeled?

So let's put on someone else's shoes before judging.

 I always believe that life is about learning, forgiving, loving and helping each other.

Also, life is about growing up.

“Pertanyaan tentang investasi selalu sama: kapan kita harus mulai berinvestasi? 

Jawabannya pun selalu serupa: SECEPATNYA!”

Pernah ngalamin kehabisan uang di tengah bulan?

Aku sering banget! Hahahaha.

Sebagai mahasiswa yang…ehem, masih dikasih uang dari orang tua, aku termasuk orang yang super-duper-boros. Paling banyak sih, habis di makan, hehe. Banyak kok yang udah ngomelin dan kasih “nasihat sok bijak” buat aku. Tapiiii… semua nasihat mereka berakhir di telinga tanpa aku lakuin. Bukan berarti aku nggak peduli, aku sadar diri kok. Pelan-pelan belajar lebih bijaksana ngatur keuangan. Bener-bener nggak gampang karena aku terbiasa ngeluarin uang buat beli hal-hal remeh tanpa pikir panjang.

Dan pada suatu hari, beberapa bulan yang lalu, aku lihat satu buku yang menarik. Sayangnya, waktu itu nggak ada uang dan belum ngerasa butuh banget, jadi aku nggak beli langsung. Bulan-bulan berikutnya, aku makin nyadar kalo aku butuh satu “panduan” yang pasti buat ngatur keuangan, seenggaknya, biar aku bisa lebih membuka mata dan pikiran tentang keuangan. Jadilah, bulan ini aku beli buku ini… jeng-jeng-jeng!

Persona

I’d just slapped. Not literally, hahaha.

Yesterday was a sunny afternoon – after raining for several days – when I met my high-school best friend. It was a simple conversation, very simple but for me, it makes me think more. About me and this blog, my writings.

“You have changed or just growing up? I don’t know.

I thought, there’s something different about your posts (on blog). I just thought that there’s something you hide between your words. Do you make some boundaries?

What I know is that I was bored with your last writings."

Definitely, she said something which I’d questioned to my self recently. She found it. She showed me the wrong part.

Though what she said isn’t 100% true.

what you need to know when you are 20 year old.

What is your definition about “being productive”?
Some people might say: doing something that earn some money.
Or doing some projects.
Or creating something new.
Or…. Anything else?
This question leads me to write this post.

I never thought that being 20 year-old would be much complicated. 

You are no longer an adolescent. But then, it feels weird to call yourself as an adult because you are too young too be in this category. You still have to do your tasks and roles as an adolescent, plus, your new tasks and roles as an early adult. 

Enough? Not yet. 

These new tasks and new roles in society would successfully create a conflict within yourself.
