It's been almost 6 months since I've been living here. And I kinda liked it here. I may not have my family and boyfriend w/ me, but I always talked to him via messenger, and he come to visit me and I called him often. As for my family, they also visit me.. As for friends, I make new friends, meet new people, and always in touch w/ my friends through messenger also. In short, I'm happy enough w/ this arrangement.
And here, now, I feel like I'm changing. Turning into a better person, hopefully.
I feel like, I've become more sensitive to life's beauties. I've become more in touch w/ my inner self, more contemplative, mentally nourished and fulfilled.
I do still have my own problem at work, but who doesn't? There's no such thing as the perfect life, but its up to you to make it perfect for you.
In here, I don't feel so clueless and marginalized as in Jakarta. In here I learn a lot. I read, I listen to classical music, I went to museums, I watch art performances, and with all those I relaxed, and feel nourished.
In Jakarta I don't have an easy access to all those. My life rotates around work, going to the mall, and I have very limited access to information, and going places will be hell, or expensive, or both.
In short, like a plant, this city is like a well treated and fertilized soil which will allows me to grew big and bloom w/ lots of beautiful flowers and delicious fruits and lush leaves.
And I want to live here.
I want to live here
To my dear friend ..
A dear friend has left us today. She decided to went back to her hometown, to re-live her dreams back there, and letting go of the so-called international career here. It's her own free choice.
I've been quite close to her. Having went out with her almost every weekends for the past 5 months. She's a good company, and very generous. And one thing I've learn from her, is to never under estimate others, and to always be humble.
She has a senior position in the office. But she never looked down at me, which obviously her junior, several ranks away from her. She always looked and talked to me as someone within her rank, and she makes me feel like I am very well appreciated. For my talents, for my intellectual quality, and for me as a human being.
And I like that feeling. It's very difficult to find a senior like that you know.
I feel like she believes in me, sometimes more that I can believe myself. She always told me that I'll reach her position one day, and that's why I need to prepare myself for that time since now. I was surprised. I never thought that a person like her can say such things to me.
She's truly is a dear friend. And the most important thing is, she believes in me. That's why I'm writing this as a little reminder to myself.
For me, not to forget that I should grew and learn to always be humble and kind, no matter high my position will be.
And secondly, as a reminder, that there's someone who actually believes in me, believe that I can do so many things, and that's why there's no reason that I shouldn't believe in what I can do. Because I CAN. :)
Thank you dear friend.
It's been a short 5 months, but it's been a great 5 months. And I believe that in that short 5 months is never a mistake as you might thought it would be, but a beautiful coincidence arranged by God, for me to learn these beautiful things from you, to meet such a lovely person as you, and for you, to know me, whatever it means to you.
