Idealism

For the last few weeks I've been struggling to come back to reality. I have been a bad person, not like I did commit crimes or anything, just that I was too naive about the world.

    Sometimes it's good to have plans of your own and not thinking all the consequences. Being an idealist is hard but doable (if you have the courage and are willing to wait for god knows how long until it happens). Sometimes you just gotta throw all your dreams and aspirations. It just won't happen. In the times like this we have to move in a fast pace, while there are some that choose not to, ignoring process if I must say. 

    There's a famous word from my country that says,
Idealisme adalah kemewahan terakhir yang hanya dimiliki oleh pemuda.
Idealism is the last luxury that only youth have.

-Tan Malaka

    Well then I guess I'm starting to get into the boring adult life we all wanted when we were young which we regret instantly after we get it LOL. It's not like I'm being pessimistic about life, it's just, it's just like that we gotta live with it and stop complaining. Okay maybe once or twice is okay, but then you have to stop complaining and move on. Maybe some day you can do it again. You can never kill your dreams, they will come back as hard as they can when you are in your fifties sixties seventies IDK and slap you in the face, leaving only numb and regret.

    Don't live like that. If you have time still to get all your dreams, work for it even if it would take years to get it done. No ragrets (yes, ragrets).

Adios!

Parting Apart

I want to say I'm sorry, but I can't. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic guy. I really love her, so much. With all my heart. Every night, it's a battleground in my head. Whether to forgive myself and just move on, or there are other layers that I have not yet discovered. I really want her to come back. Maybe it's true, love does not have to have . I want her to shine. She's a diamond of her own league. She's cute. She's my smile. She's everything for me. Now I'm getting emotional ahaha.      My sense of romance isn't getting any better as the day goes by. Practice ? That's probably the word. I need to do it. It's just, I couldn't understand her. I mean, I do have a sister. I should understand her a little bit; woman's world. Maybe much. But, like people say, everyone is unique. She's special.      I hope that she's smiling everyday; I know she's a tough one. She's an independent woman. Knowing that everything's...

Music, Joy, Vibe!

For the past few months I've been enjoying to listen to some old songs I used to listen to when I was younger such as hip hop, emo, pop and etc. Human is unique. We can lift up our mood by listening to a certain sound and it can help us focus on things that we are working on. Whether you just had a long day, or a very adventurous day, you always want to pop a song or just sing it yourself without the song playing. Alone, or with someone you know, together blasting the feeling out.      For me, the kind of music that I really like is hip hop, especially rap song. I don't know why but rap songs can always keep me sane during work or school hours. It's probably because I also try to imitate the gesture of the MC make when they are performing on stage. There are Eminem, 2Pac, Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar, Rich Brian, Denzel Curry, Mac Miller, Logic, Joyner Lucas and J. Cole. Each has their own different technique and style. It's unique. I can never get tired of listening to the...

Paradox of Reading

Now some of you may know what a paradox is. To equate our understanding, let me rephrase it. Paradox is a contradictory statement between the words while still makes sense to the meaning as a whole. A commonly used paradox for example is "less is more". Less and more is a completely different word and meaning where less means a lesser amount or quantity, contradicting more which means a greater or additional amount. An easy way to understand this sentence is, for example, when you procrastinate less, you will have more free time, thus resulting in more time for working. Something like that. Next is reading, which I don't think I need to rephrase it.      Enough of the introduction, now onto the main topic. We all, or at least some of us, agree that reading is one of the most entertaining activity to do in our free or full time. Whether you are reading fiction books, research-based books, journals, or blogs and websites like this depending on your purpose. To broaden your ...
