Another Story of Beginnings and Endings

Image
We each have our own journeys in our lives. Some beginnings and endings are unavoidable or, let’s say that it’s the way of life. Remember starting your first day at preschool to graduating elementary school? Then you will start another level of education again.    Maybe, I am not alone when I say that I used to be scared when starting new in my life alone. I can still remember when I was accepted to be an apprentice in a manufacturing company a few months after I finished college. It is the first time when I am all by myself. When I started, I always cry at night, and I always woke up feeling down like something is missing. Still, I guess that was me being homesick and new to the environment as well as being with new people I am not familiar with. It makes me smile, looking back on those moments.     Another Story of Beginnings and Endings    One of the great things about being away alone is meeting various kinds of people. I am naturally a shy person ...

Living Alone During Quarantine and Knowing Myself Again

Image
 Lockdown in cities started on March 16, 2020, and I started working from home. Compared to going to the office, work from home where I am not forced to wake up early because of my 2-hour commute is more comfortable. I can now get up just before 8 am if I wanted to and eating breakfast while working. I can manage my time in my own way. Also, I don’t feel tired or backache after going home because of around 3 hours commute at night, so now, it is like a treat. That how it turned out with my work, which I am about to lose this end of the month. Living Alone During Quarantine and Knowing Myself Again   Looking Back to the Time Which Contributed to Me Today Now, if it is about me emotionally, I have to say that last year ‘till these early months of this year may have been my worst emotional state. Before the end of 2018, I lost my job and getting my heart broken in 2019. At the start of 2019, I applied for jobs abroad but decided that while waiting for any good result, I m...

What Does Growing Up Means?

Image
Many of us don’t have any idea what does growing up means not until we leave our own home and start living alone, like start living independently. Others may disagree and say that growing up is getting old or when we are aging. It is sometimes defined differently by each individual where you’ll realize not everyone has the same grasp of the meaning of the word. Honestly, all I could think about growing is that being independent and responsible. What Does Growing Up Means?   Growing Up As Being Independent As we leave the comfort of our homes, a new journey arrives. It will be a journey that only involves ourselves and only have our own to depend on. As we go out and live on by ourselves, we are expected to face many challenges. It will be hard sometimes, however, other times will be fun too. You will be free and do whatever you want, things that will be either good or bad for you. It will be your choice and no one is going to condemn you for your decisions. Being in con...

Some Things About Me

Image
When you feel happy, some words suddenly pop out of your mind, and if possible, you would want to write them down. It’s like that for me, especially when I am down or feeling lonely. There are so many words that fill my head to the point that I almost thought I am a poet when obviously, I’m not. Well, basically, when I have this rush of emotions, I want to say something or share it. Some Things About Me Since I am not an outgoing person, I do not have that much circle of friends like others. Also, I remember my father always told me back when I was a child to not be friends with the other kids because he thought they are not a good influence. So, that's why I believe I grew up choosing who to be friends with, and when I do, I get so attached to them. Though most times, I do not care much if they do not want to be with me because I do not have any control for anyone's feelings. That is the cycle for me. I have been a quiet and shy type unless when I am with those who I am comf...
