Let's Grow and Go

As human beings (or innate wrong-being), we (will always) have a tendency to look at ourselves through the wrong kind of lens. We create perceptions of who we are, and what we have to offer, based on a vision of ourselves that is often centered around our faults. It's fair though.
Far too often I hear someone refer to themselves as not being good enough for another human being. This always confuses, and deeply saddens me, because I unconditionally believe that we are all good enough for one another, and there is only one reason why.
You are good enough because you house within yourself a heart that beats deeply and feels without question. You are good enough because that beating heart gives you the ability to love someone in the most profound way.
And that is all that matters.
You are good enough to other people (who-says-youre-not-good-enough) because you have within you this radiant ability to care. You are good enough to them because you have within you this overwhelming ability to feel. Stop using your mind to convince yourself otherwise, and give all of that burden, all of that doubt, all of that judgment to your heart, for it is the strongest thing you have within yourself.
You can be good enough because of what you have.
We can be good enough because of what we have.
If ever you find yourself driving in the speedway and there's a bifurcation, you can't suddenly stop at the junction. You must know your destination. You must aware of your progress. You must be alarmed with the signs that lead you to your purpose of traveling. You just cant be indecisive when it matters. You can't choose the speedway when you don't know where to go, it will only burden you. Yes you may have shorter route and smarter way, but the way to get you back on track often (and most of the time!) only obstruct you if you don't know where to go.
To think of it, we will definitely do wrong all the time. But the question is are we have the intention to  mend those wrongness and grow?
By grow, I mean to try being better all the time. Grow is about continuous improvement. To give your best shot at a time and give your better best in the next time. Grow is reevaluate your way of thinking. Grow is having bigger bone and stronger nerve. Grow is do something new every period of a time. Growing, is living. If you're not evolving, you don't have a life.
And to have closure, I'd like to paraphrase Confucius for it does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Let's gear up and go!

Review Menulis

Terhitung awal Maret, ketekunan menulis di portal ini yang dimulai semenjak Agustus 2015 sedikit terganggu. Sebagai gantinya, bulan ini akan ada banyak tambahan tulisan dari bulan lalu. Sedikit kealpaan di dunia maya penulisan selalu jadi justifikasi paling masuk akal karena beragam tuntutan tanggungan yang menggunung. Tapi untuk membiasakan budaya tidak gampang pamrih dan konsisten, tulisan ini hadir.

2k16

First of all. Sorry it took some times for the post. Both contributor had to span holidays and we agreed to postpone our writing for the next deadline. So here I am. Writing (dedicated to this blog) for the first time in 2k16.

Twenty Something

Tidak ada pembenaran apapun atas keabsenan saya selama sekitar 2 bulan ini. Tapi jikalau masih boleh memberi alasan logis, saya ingin memberi pengakuan, bahwa selama ini sepertinya saya cerdik mencari dalih apa saja untuk dikerjakan selain menulis itu sendiri. Iya, saya seharusnya malu. Malu kepada diri saya dulu yang rajin protes dengan kontributor sebelah kalau dia telat posting. Malu kepada diri saya sendiri yang sedang rendah ‘self-esteem’ nya. Malu kepada diri saya karena membiarkan nikmat menulis dan menyampaikan sesuatu menjadi sesuatu yang saya ‘take for granted’. A lot things happened . Dan secara garis besar, rangkaian takdir itu memberi saya beeberapa pelajaran. Being twenty something is about how well you coach yourself. Hampir semua mengingatkan saya tentang seperti apa saya, di mata diri saya sendiri. Tentang batasan saya, tentang harapan saya, tentang mereka yang sayangi, tentang kemalasan saya, tentang apa yang membuat saya tertarik, tentang asumsi-asumsi...
