Catching Up!

It's 2022 now.

This blog somehow becomes the witness of my growth. I started this blog back in 2012, thus.. I'm already on blogger for 10 years. This blog lasts longer than my relationship, ever!

10 years have passed.. I was 15 yo, and now I'll be turning 25 this December. what do I do now? Am I the same old Nita? Am I better? Do I become stranger to some people?

The answer is.... My life gets boring, if you ask. I'm living a typical adult life; working, working, working, working, and working. Oh, almost forget. I also become a mother of one, a daughter named Hagia. So, it's like balancing life among working, be a mother, socializing, and most of the time.. resting.

I become more quite than I was in college or freshgrad days. I become anti-social. I enjoy being alone instead of get trap around people. I enjoy drinking my matcha-latte, while reading book.. or just simply scrolling through my Instagram or TikTok. I enjoy to have exercise once in awhile. I enjoy my busy schedule as an employee and also my role as a mom. I think, my life is just so imperfectly perfect.

Am I still ambitious?

In some cases, I am. I still have plenty agendas to do, but afraid to tell it to many people, because, well... I'm afraid that my dreams won't come true. I think, that thought is actually part of my anxious mind.

But anyway, the point is... I am blessed, and I love my life the way it is now.

I can't believe that I'm truly an adult now.

Let's talk about love, again. My posts were mostly talked about love, the young love that was so passionate, that brought so many broken hearts. I do realize now that love is actually very calming... if you meet the right person in the right time.

Love was not about the butterflies in your stomach.

Or, screaming and yelling to each other.

Or, ignore your partner's need.

Or, let your partner always feel alone.

Or, saying mean things to your partner.

Or, throwing knife at your partner.

Or, leaving your partner behind.

Love is being present to your partner at any circumstances.

Love is being proud of your partner when they do something that makes them happy.

Love is showing-off to people that you love your partner so much, that you may hurt people just to save your loved ones.

Love is trying to help your partner with your best attempt.

Love is when you sacrifice your happiness to see your partner happiness.

Love is to learn how to surrender, to lower your ego.

Love is unrequited, like a mother-daughter bond.

Love is like I love Hagia.

Another thing... Love means privacy, not secrecy. Tehee-hehee.

Pancasila, Nasionalisme, dan Eyangkung

Mungkin Eyangkung (Eyang Kakung, Kakek dalam bahasa Jawa) benci disebut-sebut sebagai pahlawan. Tapi, memang kenyataannya begitu. Tidak akan ada Indonesia tanpa Eyangkung dan para pahlawan yang lain. Eyangkung saya bernama Eyang TK, beliau lahir di Solo pada 17 Agustus 1919. Eyangkung bersekolah di Neutrale H. I. S Solo dan beliau berprestasi di sekolahnya. Karena prestasi itulah beliau dibebaskan dari les persiapab masuk M. U. L. O. dan pada akhirnya beliau berhasil masuk tanpa melalui tes ujian masuk. Sebagai cucu kesekian, saya sangat bangga mempunyai sosok Eyangkung. Karena beliau, saya selalu bersumpah akan membawa nama baik keluarga. Saya nggak mau menjelekkan nama baik keluarga besar, saya nggak mau dibilang, "cucu pahlawan kok seperti itu?" (Walaupun saya ini memang tergolong bandel sih, cuma bandelnya masih sebatas wajar). Walaupun beliau wafat setahun sebelum saya lahir, banyak cerita yang sudah saya dengar maupun foto-foto beliau yang saya lihat.  Dari yan...

Sampul Buku dan Lembarannya

Boleh nggak saya memohon satu hal? Cukup sederhana. Kebanyakan dari kalian hanya memandang sampul sebuah buku. Jika sampul itu berupa kulit, kalian akan langsung mengambilnya. Kalau buku itu hanyalah buku usang, entah siapa yang akan mengambilnya. Disini bukan tentang menilai buku dari sampulnya. Tapi tentang siapa yang akan mengambil buku itu. Munafik memang, kalau kita mengaku tidak melihat orang dari penampilan. Tapi entah kenapa saya letih dengan semua itu. Letih dengan tipuan paling sederhana. Saya ingin kalian tetap menatap saya dalam keadaan terburuk, terjelek. Bukan dalam keadaan sebaliknya. Apa terkesan saya sombong? Tidak, bukan itu maksudnya. Saya hanya ingin kalian membuka buku itu setelah melihat sampulnya. Saya bukan buku bersampul kulit. Saya hanya buku biasa. Lembarannya putih, polos, tanpa coretan. Saya butuh kalian yang dapat mengisi lembaran-lembaran ini, bukan hanya menggeletakkan buku ini ke lemari hingga usang.

A Battle Throughout The Years

I met him somewhere in the last few months in 2019. He has a cute smile, taller than me, long straight hair, with tattoos on his hand. He was different from my ideal man. I thought he loved me, but I realize now, it was actually a love bombing. I learned to love him each year, but I realize now, I was only fooling myself and keep on pretending. -2019- December. It was my birth month, but instead of getting me a surprise, he yelled at me and cursed me. I cried. I told him, "this is my first time in my birthday that I cry. You made me cry in my birthday. You didn't give me present, you didn't congratulate me. You made me cry. Men congratulated me, gave me presents, and flowers. You brought me tears." Then, there was another time when he actually mad at me because I couldn't come to his house after office hour. I was so tired, I needed to commute with train and ojek to got to my office. I said sorry to him, but, he cursed me again. I called my cousin who stayed in Ba...

(Sedikit) Curhat

Alhamdulillah, 2017 is soon to be over! Rasanya bersyukur dan senang banget ternyata mayoritas Resolusi 2017 yang ditulis di akhir tahun 2016 kemarin sudah jadi kenyataan. Kehidupan perkuliahan itu sulit, serius. Apapun jurusan kamu, semua ada ups and downs nya. Gue yang sudah hampir menjadi mahasiswa angkatan tua, ngerasain banget jenuh-jenuhnya. Kasarnya, kalau bisa nikah sama pengusaha kaya raya mending langsung nikah, deh. Tapi... hidup itu nggak sepenuhnya kaya drama Korea. Let it flow, nikmati saja arusnya. Gue yang sekarang di semester 5, semakin mendengar desas-desus tentang diri gue sendiri di kampus. "Cuma modal muka", "dia nggak pinter, cuma dia deketin dosen biar nilai bagus", "gue gasuka sama Nita", dan tetek-bengek lainnya. Normal, namanya hidup itu penuh pro dan kontra. Sebenarnya gue sudah mendengar ini sejak gue di semester 1, sih, tapi makin ke sini semakin kelihatan siapa saja orang-orangnya. Bahkan, beberapa orang sudah membuat gue k...
