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 your mind. It buries your potential, it clouds your decision-making, it ruins your relationship with others, & it puts a wall between you & opportunities in front of you."

That tweet made me realized just how bad insecurity is. We should not give it any space in our mind because it can make us doubt ourselves and make us feel inferior when in fact we all have our own strengths and different life timelines.

Life is not a race, it's not a competition between us and others because we all have different starting points, different privileges, and what's certain is we all have different goals in life. Life is about us trying to become a better version of our past self not about competing with others.

After all, the timeline of our journey, where the journey took place, the opportunities we got and the struggles we encounter might be different but what we have in common is we all striving to make our dreams come true and live peacefully in life.

It's a fate that I got to know you I like talking to you  And I know that I'm the one who made this relationship not like what it used to be It hurts, a little, because I still want to talk to you But if you already got hurt because of what I said before and no longer want to talk to me, it's okay It's good to know you Maybe it's the best for us not to talk to each other anymore Ps : This is the first time I ever felt heartbreak bc of a man but I'm glad that I only knew him for two weeks, I hope it won't be that hurtful

My Dream Country #America

   Hi guys! Hari ini adalah pertama kalinya aku ngepost di blog ini. Sebenernya aku bingung mau nulis apa tapi kayaknya nulis tentang negara impianku bagus juga tuh.    Menurutku Amerika itu adalah negara yang sangat menarik untuk dibahas. Negara ini tuh ya beda banget sama Indonesia, mulai dari kebersihan lingkungan, budaya, dan cara berpikir orang-orangnya. Amerika tuh bener-bener negara yang bebas,  warga negaranya bisa ngelakuin apapun yang mereka mau. Tapi walaupun begitu, aku tetap pengen tinggal disana. Aku bisa ngerasain musim salju yang dindingnya minta ampun, nikmatin fasilitas umum yang benar-benar bagus, dan aku bisa ketemu banyak artis terkenal disana haha.    Tau nggak kalian nggak sedikit loh orang islam yang tinggal Amerika. Kebanyakan dari mereka tuh ya para imigran dari Negara-Negara yang lagi ada konflik kayak Palestina, Pakistan, Suriah dan masih banyak lagi. Sebenarnya tuh aku iri banget sama mereka, coba bayangin mereka tuh ...
