I'm Tired

I’m tired dealing with the pessimistic me. A part of my self who always worry about what will I do and have done. I’m literally tired.

Yesterday I had my second exam for getting my self a seat in postgraduate program.  Everything went well. Even though before the exam I got a little problem, it was rainy and I gotta go through it to get to my aunt’s house because the signal was not available at my home. And it was a pretty far distance. But talking about the exam, it really went very well. I didn’t have any significant problem like the first time. And I finished that 2 hour exam smoothly. With all of the struggles I had before the exam, I should be thankful and calm and happy and relax after that. But the fact was, I still worried about that. ‘There must be something wrong’. Yes, finishing something smoothly is quite unusual for me.

And I re-checked my answer sheet and the questions, and I found it, that one thing! That one variable that totally wrong and ruined my answer! My worry was proved. That ugly variable hits me really hard. It was like your heart is full of something and there’s no space left to breath. Just if you know how much I tried, prayed, and hoped for this second chance.

Instead of trying to calm myself, or ensuring that everything is gonna be okay, I tried to forget it. I just want to go to somewhere far away, I want to get out from my comfort zone. Because once again, I’m tired, tired of waking up everyday with no goal. I want to go there and there. I want do this and that. I want so many things. Then I opened my aunt’s book, it’s kind of a motivational book from my favorite writer. But I feel like I’m tired of those things related to motivation. So I decided to write something. I decided to finish my unfinished writing or start my project I’ve been planed long time ago (I use the term ‘project’ to make it sounds cool). I want to make something, I want to be productive while I’m just actually writing about lamentation and sort of regret

And as I complain I feel a bit sorry, in this barakah month, Ramadhan, I should be more grateful and less complain. And I know, no matter how much I complain, there will be nothing change. The only thing I can change is myself, my point of view, my feeling towards something I have no control of. That’s it! I should stop being tired of anything. I had enough of me telling my friends that I’m tired. They must be tired too. I had enough  of me worrying too much, I had enough of me complaining about all the downfall.

I’m just a human being, and as I can be bad and lousy and awful, I can also be excellent and splendid and awesome. Anytime I want to.

I hope I will feel better after writing this.

Ramadhan

 Walaupun masih banyak sekali kekurangan, Ramadhan tahun ini ternyata merupakan salah satu Ramadhan terbaik yang bisa saya jalani. Anak yang sudah lebih besar dan mandiri, jarak tempat tinggal dan kantor yang hanya 5 langkah, dan jam kerja yang lebih fleksibel, mungkin adalah beberapa hal yang membuat Ramadhan kali ini terasa lebih khidmat. Ramadhan-ramadhan sebelumnya sebagai ibu hamil, menyusui, ibu dengan bayi menuju toddler, jam kerja yang masih padat, membuat saya kewalahan dalam mengatur ibadah. Puasa jelas banyak yang ketinggalan. Sholat sunnah sebisanya saja, yang penting sholat wajib tidak ketinggalan. Sholat tarawih dan Qur'an? Selalu diusahakan sebisanya. Duo ibadah primadona di bulan Ramadhan ini harus diikhlaskan karena masih sering ketempelan bocil. Meskipun kadang merasa sedih karena Ramadhan selalu menjadi waktu istimewa untuk umat Muslim, nyatanya saya hanya bisa melaluinya dengan ibadah 'alakadarnya'. Lalu saya bertemu dengan sebuah nasihat dari ukhti fill...

31

 Kebetulan kemarin baru ulang tahun yang ke 31 bareng suami, dan kami merayakannya di UGD Rumah Sakit :))) Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal Dalam sebulan belakangan ada cukup banyak pemicu stress yang bikin saya cukup kewalahan. Tapi selama saya bisa punya waktu tidur malam yang cukup, maka saya baik-baik saja. 2 diantara stressor tersebut adalah berita duka yang begitu mendadak. Sebagai sesorang yang takut kehilangan, dada saya sesak setiap kali mengingat kejadiannya. Salah satu keluarga yang kami sayangi berpulang, begitu cepat. Semakin memahamkan saya bahwa kematian itu begitu dekat. Bahwa hidup kita cuma sebentar saja di dunia. Setiap kali ada berita duka, selain mendoakan almarhum, saya juga berdoa semoga Allah memberi kelapangan untuk keluarga yang ditinggalkan, karena memang sesakit itu merasakan perubahan yang mendadak, butuh waktu cukup lama untuk membiasakan diri dengan ketiadaan seseorang. Saya pun berdoa jika kelak orang tua saya yang dipanggil duluan, hati saya diberi kela...

After They Left

I used to like to be alone. I can do anything I want without worrying about others. I always enjoy my me-time. I like to go to anywhere with myself because going with others will make me be depending on them. I liked to explore new places with myself. Yes, my self is enough for my company. I enjoyed being with my own. I liked to stay at my room for hours (with bunch of snacks, good movies, good dramas, good books). I didn't need any internet connection, I never touched my phone, and the door and window were always closed. Yes, I really enjoyed that. Sometimes, I went to the public space just with my own. Looking at the people, taking picture, doing silly things, alone. Sometimes I just went around the city by motorcycle with no direction. Alone. Sometimes I spent hours in bookstore (Being surrounded by books is my mood booster). Alone. No, I'm not an introvert. Ask my close friends or family, they know me really well. I just feel comfortable with my own company. I have m...
