In the beginning of 2020, the world were surprised by the corona virus outbreak. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. This virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness. Realizing how easily this virus spread, right now many countries are in lockdown to prevent it to spread.

Lockdown has affected people's lives and make people need to adjust to the new lifestyle which is to do all of their activities at homes be it work or study from home.

Doing all of our activities at home can make us feel bored because we always do things at home and we can't meet people who used to support us directly in the school or in the office. Realizing that it happened all of a sudden and we still don't have any idea when it will end, make our heads full of uncertainty.

For most of us, being in quarantine is a new experience and can affect our mental health. We've never known a life of working from home, only going out for groceries, and not being able to visit friends or family. While there are a bunch of downsides to this, there are some good things that we can take from being in quarantine such as being able to spend more time with our family that we rarely meet because of work, being able to focus more on ourselves so that we can understand ourselves more and also having more time of productivity because we don't need to spend our time on the way to work.

So while we have been in the pandemic, instead of focusing on the bad things, it's time for everyone just start enjoying the things we used to neglect and maximize our lots of free time for as many good things as possible.

On Insecurity

It's been a long time since the last time I wrote in this blog. I'm pretty well but not quite great.  The topic that I'm gonna talk about here is something that I'm familiar with, which is insecurity.  If I have to be honest, I've been dealing with insecurity for the past few years. It was because I always feel left out compared to people my age in terms of achievements. The feeling struck me whenever I see them who have been achieving so many things in life while I still feel clueless about what I should do in life. Feeling insecure is like a disease because it can affect many aspects in your life. When you feel insecure, you think that you're not good enough and it holds you for doing things that you actually good at but you can't see it because you're already feel like you're not enough. I found this interesting perspective about insecurity from someone's tweet. He tweeted, "...insecurity is the worst thing you can unconsciously feed into

Jabodetabek, dengan lebih dari 30 juta penduduk, mengirim lebih dari 14.000 ton sampah ke TPA (Tempat Pembuangan Akhir) setiap harinya. Untuk lebih jelasnya, limbah yang sudah dihasilkan oleh Jabodetabek selama tiga tahun terakhir dapat mengisi gedung pencakar langit tertinggi di Jakarta, yaitu Menara Gama yang memiliki tinggi 310 meter. Aliran sampah yang sangat deras, ditambah lagi dengan pengelolaan sampah yang buruk, telah membawa area metropolitan ke dalam krisis. Beberapa TPA sudah kelebihan muatan atau menghadapi resiko kelebihan muatan. Dalam waktu dekat, penduduk Jabodetabek akan kehabisan tempat untuk membuang sampah. Krisis ini telah mempengaruhi orang-orang yang tinggal berdekatan dengan TPA. Gunungan sampah yang
