A CUP OF TEA 🌿🍵

BTS speak at the UN. Source: thejakartapost.com As we all know, these past years, K-pop became a worldwide phenomenon. Many people get crazy over K-pop idols. It’s fascinating to see how people around the world could appreciate Asian artists that much. As an Asian myself, I feel so proud about that. I used to have this kind of mindset. I used to underestimate K-pop idols and wondering what they’ve done that can made people get crazy over them.

Memahami diri sendiri adalah langkah awal untuk mencintai diri kita. Tetapi, tak semua orang dapat melakukannya. Perlu proses panjang untuk itu.  Mencintai Diri Sendiri. kata yang terasa mudah untuk diucapkan, tapi sangat sulit untuk dilakukan. Apalagi di era sosial media ini yang membuat seolah-olah dunia tidak ada batasanya, kita sangat mudah terekspos dengan kehidupan orang lain yang seringnya hanya menunjukkan kesenangan dan kemewahan, membuat kita menjadi iri akan hal itu, dan tak jarang membanding-bandingkan diri kita dengan mereka.
