Knock on the door

It started last night.
I was working with my boss, Joe.
We had a little chat about life.

C: I really love writing, but I always feel that I haven’t done anything yet with this writing thingy. I never had any achievements, I never joined writing competitions etc etc. I met tons of people who can do better than me. Since I was a kid until now, I write for myself only.

J: You should tell others about that. If you keep it to yourself, then it will lead nowhere. I love to write as well. I never joined professional writing class or whatsoever, but I was an editor before. I told my boss that I love to write and art. Then, he gave me the opportunity to lead a team for writing and designing the magazine.

C: I will keep that in mind :)

C: are you the one who writes for the Blueberry’s blog?

J: Yes.. oh yah, I should let you to do it. Can you write a journal for one month?

C: (Smiling happily)

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7)”

That’s true. You have to tell people, and then the door will be opened to you.

Cheers!

I didn't see it coming

I'm supposed to study, but here I am chatting my time away on Youtube.

After

Have you ever heard of quarter-life crisis?
Quarter-life crisis happens to the people in 20s-30s.
It happens before/just graduated from college.
It makes people scared about what will happen next;
What kind of job they’re going to take?
Is it going to be good or bad?

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now (http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~shane/text/quarterlifecrisis.html)

At the beginning of this year, I was confused.
I screamed a lot to C, until he couldn’t stand it anymore.
I was scared of what will happen next.
I was afraid that I am going to be nothing in the future.
I cried without knowing the reason.

I was alone, I couldn’t explain my feeling.
I was feeling insecure,
Until I decided that I need to have a journal to keep all my uncertain feelings.
I bought one, together with a card, for myself..

I tried to explain it to Karina.
After few months, she came and told me about quarter-life crisis.
She’s correct, I was having quarter-life crisis at the beginning of this year.

Now, I’m feeling good..
Leaving my adolescence era is not that scary.
Although I’m still here, trying to finish all those last responsibilities as a student,
I feel better.

Indeed, I don’t know what will happen next.
Indeed, I’m not sure what I am going to do in the near future.
But I have some pictures in mind (not one or two).

There are a lot of jobs to do.
I could be fashion buyer, journalist, writer or anything I want.
And the most important thing is; I’m not alone.

I dreamt about New York few days ago, now I secretly hope that I will find a job that allows me to travel.
Maybe I can write a blog about shopping and traveling with low budget; start from blogging and make money one day.
Maybe I can apply a job as travel journalist
Maybe I can go here and there

Maybe…
Oh I don’t like maybe..
I’ve decided, I will find a job that allows me to travel.
I’ll buy a map and pin every cities I’ve traveled.

Life wouldn’t be easy

Back

It’s been a long time since my last post.
I took a month break from real world, it feels so good.
Now, here I am..
The real procrastinator is trying to make peace with her pending responsibilities.
Same old..
Same old..


PS: I miss you :(
