Motivasi

Teman-temannya sudah punya sekolah. Sebagian besar temanya dan dirinya sendiri sedang memperjuangkan mimpi mereka untuk bersekolah sesuai dengan cita-cita. Suatu malam dia duduk, sibuk berkutat dengan selembar kertas dan spidol.

"Mending sekarang belajar, beberapa hari lagi tes. Tidak perlu lihat-lihat orang lain."
Dia menyelesaikan kertasnya yang penuh dengan kalimat: YOU CAN! 
Tapi hatinya mendadak kosong.
It's fucking hurt.

Yes, I currently finished Sekolah Pra Nikah Salman ITB

Yes, I currently finished the whole SPN Salman ITB. The first offline batch of SPN after about 2-3 years of hiatus (and lots of online batches).

Let's have lunch there." Mom have been eating salads. And plain boiled eggs. Even some types of vegetable and protein are off her plate. There is a whole list, well, still invisible, but we've tried our best to take it into account every day. Her favorite is Caesar salad, because there are roasted chicken and creamy dressing. Very filling. She orders one. I order Vietnamese vegetable roll with --I forgot-- beef. Ah, mom can't try mine. The atmosphere of the place is really nice and raw. People come to have lunch upstairs. We choose the seat next to the salad mixing station downstairs. Soft instrumental music accompanies the busy mumbling kitchen. Our salads come in no time.  Her salad consisted of lettuce, carrot, crouton, some parmesan shreds, roasted chicken, an...

Happy

I know you are happy, but how do you have the audacity to say that everything you like I will hate and when I tell you what I am thinking you told me to back off so I won't ruin your happiness? Is that a hypocrisy? Am I too sensitive myself but also inconsiderate?
