It has been twenty-six years for me around the Sun. Sometimes, I checked my heart. When the wind brings a suffocating air, I ask, am I okay haven’t a beautiful life like each other?
Ten years ago, I was more ambitious as a human being. It’s like an abnormality of people. All my dreams come true so easily. Anything I was praying for, Allah gave me so fast. And, Allah never leaves me without one cent for surviving this life.
Should I blame my neighbors for having high expectations about me? I believe that every fresh graduate works as a laborer, let’s say ‘kuli,’ in their first year. Whatever data entry or staff administrator, with low benefit. If there is a CEO or manager but as a fresh graduate or in their 21 years old, it’s an anomaly. Please don’t normalize this situation for everyone, as it is not the same for ordinary people. We have a different background, from parents to limited access of education (formal or informal actually).
Here, come closer!
Several days ago, I met with my senior. Currently, She has a normal life, as a wife and a mother. She was once the most influential person in school, and widely admired. So, I think you should pursue your dream no matter what others say. As a mother, as a wife, and as an ordinary person with a normal life that you enjoy, it’s okay. You have achieved what you dreamed of.
I don’t want to lie to myself, but sometimes, I imagine how to become crazy rich so fast. HAHAHA. Is it possible?
I love working my jobs, no matter what. However, having a job along with being financially wealthy brings a higher level of happiness. Right? As a sandwich generation, I tired sometimes. But, yeah, it’s what it is. We must continue living. Let’s carve a beautiful smile on our mother’s face.
Drinking a cup of hot chocolate is a temporary solution for me to boost my mood by increasing serotonin levels in my brain. So, yeah, I’m so grateful that Allah made cocoa in this tiny world. Who wants some?
I should live to work from Monday to Friday, so fighting for everyone who reads this! Let’s see other worlds on the weekend. Remember to invite me whenever you’re heading to a beautiful place! I’d be thrilled to come along!
Last thing, in my twenty-seven next year, I hope to have more happiness, more money (hahaha), and someone who becomes married to me (not currently close to anyone of course hahaha).
Duduy for next story!
