I've Been Living in My Solitude

Anxiety & Self Love March 29, 2024
It's been a while since my last post. A lot has happened in my life, which has somehow changed me. As I've grown older—I'm now in my 30—I still feel somewhat clueless. I don't know what direction to take in my life. I still love the same things, doing what my younger self always enjoyed. The only thing I've realised that's changed is...

Things I Learn from Girlboss on Netflix

Anxiety & Self Love February 12, 2023
Not sure if this is a common problem but I always take around 30 minutes browsing movies or series on Netflix. Sometime, I end up watching nothing and just move to my phone and watch Tiktok before sleep. Recently, I finished a series called 'GIRLBOSS'. I read the book but I did not finish it. I knew it's about Nasty Gal - a fashion...

New Year Resolutions?

Anxiety & Self Love February 03, 2023
It's been two years since my last post on this blog. I occasionally wrote down my thoughts or simply created notes on my phone but I just ended up putting them as draft and never actually publish them.Two years have gone by quickly and I would say that there are many small changes in my life which I am grateful for.During my absence...

When Life Becomes Stagnant #pandemiclife

Anxiety & Self Love October 11, 2020
We all have ever gone through stages during this pandemic time. It is very frustrating as in Indonesia, although the number of cases keep increasing, people are getting more irresponsible and ignoring the virus. In the past 8 months, our activities are limited in this #NewNormal life. I have been experiencing so many different stages in life - mentally. At first, I did...

They Are Just Human and So Are We

Anxiety & Self Love August 28, 2020
It is apparently true what they say: you are hurt by the persons you loved the most, by those people we cared a lot. I believe in all kinds of relationships - whether it's about your romance, family, friends or colleagues - when it's just already too much for us to handle, when there is no more chance for us to grow, when...

I-am-so-Pisces Kind of Playlist

Anxiety & Self Love July 24, 2020
I once read this on Instagram: Making a playlist is a delicate art. It's like writing a love letter, but better, in a way. You get to say what you want to say, without actually saying it.  I always feel like being a Pisces is actually a great excuse to have mellow mood and be in your dreamy world. Ok, this might sound...

Things I'm Grateful For During The Coronavirus Pandemic

Anxiety & Self Love June 23, 2020
At first, the pandemic brought fear and panic. It made me feel anxious with everything that might and could happen. My job became insecure. Working from home became unexpectedly difficult, especially when they asked you to stay productive to keep the business running during this time. I was in survival mode. In fact, we are all in survival mode.I live with my parents...

3 Relasi Penting Manusia

Anxiety & Self Love April 28, 2020
Setiap insan manusia memiliki tiga relasi utama yang perlu selalu dijaga. Pertama, relasi dengan sesama. Kedua, relasi dengan dirinya sendiri. Ketiga, relasi dengan Sang Pencipta. Ketika ketiga relasi ini dapat dijaga dengan baik, saya percaya kita dapat memiliki perasaan yang sangat damai dalam hati kita yang juga memberi pengaruh positif kepada keseluruhan kita sebagai manusia - mental, jiwa dan raga. ...

#Quarantine: That Temptation to Reach Out to Your Ex

Anxiety & Self Love April 17, 2020
Everybody might have been impacted by the current global situation differently. However, one thing for sure, we are all on the same boat even though the affects could be vary for each person; might be depression, unemployment, loneliness, recession and many more. The pandemic is actually warning us to work not only on our physical but also mental health. Usually this is the...

Self-Care During Self-Quarantine

Anxiety & Self Love April 08, 2020
Life is full of surprises, isn't it? When you thought that your life would always be the same for the rest of your life, it turns out differently, unexpectedly. Deep down, we know this too shall pass. When everything has been back to normal - soon, do you expect to still be the same person as you are now? Or you want the...

Breakup with Insomnia Now

Anxiety & Self Love January 22, 2020
Many people are having troubles with sleeping at nights and I am always amazed with how they could show up in the morning and do their routines just like any normal persons - as if they had well enough rest! Well, deep down, I know they must feel exhausted and wish to have that satisfying sleep. ...

How to Cure Sadness by Doing Nothing

Anxiety & Self Love August 10, 2019
Sometimes sadness cures itself.  Have you seen the movie ‘Inside Out’? When we were little, we used to have one single emotion or feeling. We were angry when we were not allowed to play outside while raining. We were completely sad when our longtime babysitter quitted her job and went back to her hometown.  We just did not know yet that in fact,...

5 Disney Songs That Motivate Me Until Now

Anxiety & Self Love July 27, 2019
Have you ever listed to AJR's song 'Turning Out'? Some of the lyrics say: "Maybe I'm stuck on what I see on TV I grew up on Disney But this don't feel like Disney" I am kind of person who loves music so much but cannot sing and/or play any musical instruments. Hence, I always adore someone who could easily move their fingers...

My Story as A Digital Marketer

Anxiety & Self Love May 31, 2019
Who knew my decision to take a major in Business Information System (BIS) has brought me a career as a Digital Marketer. I remembered that one day in uni when a guest professor came to our lecture and did a presentation about BIS. He mostly talked about the flow of information, such as how we should ensure the information and data from one...

Stop Improving Yourself & Take Your Time

Anxiety & Self Love August 11, 2018
Is it only me that gets scared of knowing how time flies so quick? It felt like yesterday I went to a church for Sunday mass with my mom and now, in a few hours, I have to get ready for our Sunday mass again. A week felt like a day.  They said time moves fast when you are so busy. You get...

Self Love: Challenging Yourself for Career Growth

Anxiety & Self Love August 11, 2018
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 21.0px Helvetica; min-height: 25.0px} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 21.0px Helvetica} It is a very shallow definition of self-love if it is only something that could be measured. Self-love is not about allowing yourself to spend much money on a bag or a dress. Self-love is not about changing your lifestyle just because of...

Why I write again ...

Anxiety & Self Love August 05, 2018
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 21.0px Helvetica} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 21.0px Helvetica; min-height: 25.0px} It’s been almost one year since I left the island of gods and decided to pursue more on my career. I moved back to my beloved hometown.  The first three months were busy but I still found my way to be bigger than...
