Content But (and) Confused?

 "Kamu tahu Mugler Nggie?" 

Pertanyaan itu yang diucapkan seorang teman yang mungkin lebih sering berkecimpung di dunia otak kanan dibandingkan dengan aku yang mungkin setelah sekian lama masih berkecimpung di dunia otak kiri.

Long way short, dalam dunia overthinking, dan berbagai waktu bolak balik sakit dan lainnya, akhirnya memilih mencoba menulis lagi. Ya.. mungkin bukan menulis yang bakal generating revenue dan source of useful information yang terkait teknis lalala dan yeyeye, but it's okay mungkin ini semacam coping mechanism terhadap ombak informasi yg selalu datang setiap waktu.

Dulu waktu masih kecil, selalu terbayang bahwa semua hal tentang kedewasaan akan mulai datang di usia 20 dan sudah sangat dewasa as in matured dewasa bukan aged dewasa di sekitaran usia 30an. Spouse, children, career, achievements, semua dipikir bakal sudah figured out di usia 20 - 30an. I thought it would be like that, sampai saatnya dirimu berada di usia akhir 30-an. Some checklists had been ticked, but perhaps not the usual ones, like spouse and children, but some were already passed through, and yet I still don't know where I am going to.

Semua soal stabilitas, ya, ada sebuah konstan yang pada dasarnya baik saat ini yang mungkin membuat sedikit resah. Ya.. resah.. bukan berarti tidak bersyukur, tapi ada sesuatu tenaga lebih yang ingin dikreasikan, tetapi apa masih belum tahu. Belum lagi sebuah rebound terhadap konsistensi yang selalu mengalir sepanjang usia. Tried this and tried that, but always ended up rebound, to nothing to do. Kadang dipikir-pikir apakah soal pasangan dan anak, dimana tenaga utk mengkreasikan ini akan tersedot pada 2 hal itu. Tapi jika berkaca pada contoh kasus lain, sepertinya tidak, some of them content, or may be constantly doing their energy created effort on something, like hobbies, people, anything, or may be they also don't know but they content it very good.

Back to Mugler, ya sudah terlanjur dalam dunia otak kiri sejak masa remaja, bikin orang sedikit mengharapkan bahwa pengetahuan soal dunia desain, fashion dan apapun yg ada otak kanannya terhadapku sangat kecil. Seorang teman juga berkali-kali mengingatkan untuk mulai side hustle di bidang desain tapi waktu semangat yang belum bisa dibuat khusus untuk itu. Tentu saya soal komitmen untuk tetap menjaga kegiatan side hustle tetap berjalan, sepertinya isunya lebih ke komitmen. Coba ada berapa kegiatan dicoba dilakukan banyak juga yang kandas, I prefer rest a lot.

Masih aneh nggak sih ya di usia 30an masih ga tau apa yang pengen kamu lakukan tapi selalu keliatan content? Nggak terlalu ingin berkompetisi tapi cukup kreatif dengan apa yang dimiliki aja, dan fokus pada kebaikan diri di masa depan? Tidak terlalu bertarget seperti di usia 20-an dan awal 30-an, tidak terpaksa ingin ikut trend dan sebagainya. Nggak apa2 kan ya?

Current Status: Sloth Reader MODE ON


Hmm.. I was once declared myself as a bookworm or somewhat reading lots of things, good or bad, align or opposite my views & beliefs. I swallowed all of them, so that I have huge and vast point of view despite of most people. There are sometimes I can see things that no one sees, hmm in knowledge terms yes, not somekind of scary things spiritual thingy. I have had such a big, HUGE inspiration from reading, through it I got inspirationas for day to day basics, or just simply imagination on how people live in other side of the world. Reading led me to other time or era, WWII, 20's, 40's 70's or even a glimpse of future fiction. Reading can bring you to someoneelse's point of view, the way of thinking, the way of life, or just the way they talk or respond to others. That's why I love to read, you can be anyone you want, you can be anywhere, anytime and you can speak many language too... well as if 💞 even though I can only read books in Bahasa Indonesia & English, hmm and Arabic for Qur'an, though the translation is still using English or Bahasa.
I like to read Sloth-like-pace :D
Through time, I read less and less, I don't know why, may be I'm just too lazy, or lately I get busy with my social media like Instagram, Youtube and others, and yes serial movies, K-Drama *sigh* well that is toxic, I can admit but it's just another guilty pleasure other than junk food & soda drinks :D but somehow my daily basis works absorb most of my time and my head. It occupies both mentally & physically (I get easily sick lately though). How I can't blame them, I just have to stay update and stay awake to communcation about works trhough Instant Messaging like whatsApp, telegram and others :( then I realize, I started reading lots of books but never finished them, but yes I had the time to BUY them... 

I have MASSIVE PILES OF UNREAD BOOKS, WHY? I just looooooooove to buy them, and claiming didn't have much time to read (yeah bullsh*t) :D Let's see, I always have the time to visit a book store, in malls, or airports haahahaha, I do like to visit them than I visit departement store to buy clothes, shoes, or bags. And I got to be honest I lately bought 9 books yes BIG NINE from the yearly book market BBW Jakarta 2017, I did it spontaneously, when will I read them?? I DON'T KNOW!! However I still got 2 books I borrowed from a friend and still not finished the, where I borrowed them like 2 years ago OMAIGAAD, and I just had finished one of the two books... :( now I admit that I'm such a sloth... in the bookworm world TT_TT..

I recently start to read again, finishing one borrowed book was such an accomplishment, and when I see through again my Goodreads account, there are lots of currently reading status and not yet updated... and some were from 2010, what have I become :(


The one newest and I don't know :(


The one from 2010 :(

Some of the books I really don't know where exactly their exostences are :D well It's all depending on my mood, when you see my colection of books, it differs in so many ways, I'd ather loves fiction but I love historical fiction sometime chicklit would satisfy my light taste for laguange or just to have a flowing style in thinking.

Okayyy.. despite of the books piles drama I do want to finish my book chalenge this year, yes somehow I'd hope for that though, 5 books for the whole year. Mediocre, I know, but really with this kind of sloth-like-reading-pace I bet finishing 5 books would be such an achievement.. so thereee.. wish me luck!!! (and still I want to buy MORE books :D)



5 Books for Whole Year, Wish Me Luck ;)

How I miss the old me....

"Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm." – Anon

Have you ever wanted to go back in time? or just to feel the same energy like you had before? The enthusiaism, the craving for new things.... are some of the part the I miss the most....

Ada beberapa titik dalam kehidupan dimana aku bisa overcome things that I never imagined to face to... I was once never feeling lonely when I was alone. I was once bravely facing everything while I was so exhausted and even clueless. I was once a person who had a strong belief and dream. I was so determined in anything comes to my life in any way I could. But now, why do I feel everything is different?

A friend told me that I'm not in the same teritorry as I was before, where currently everything's more heterogent and challenging than before. I need to be more tactical in a very simple thing in my life. But is that what I want? Is that what I want to achieve? or I just don't want to learn? or I just don't want to change? or I just want to be in the safe side?

Many things wandered in my head, my fears, my regrets, my thoughts, my questions, my instability. Well, perhaps some one can be changed because of the environment or the forces are bigger than their life so they should change and survive. But become a survivor is not enough here, so what should I do? I just miss the old me, with the courage and the hope :(

..looking back over my shoulder.....
