Ke7

Belum pernah memiliki ekspektasi setinggi ini terhadap seorang pemimpin, tapi saya sadar bahwa saya harus belajar untuk me-manage ekspektasi saya tersebut. Semoga amanat rakyat yang anda emban dapat anda jaga dengan baik.

Selamat bekerja Pak

28 Days at Sea

The trip has certainly given me a chance to think a lot about life. 

At the beginning of the trip, i saw an instagram post from komikazer. It was an illustration with a quote on it.

Alangkah mengerikannya menjadi tua dengan kenangan masa muda yang hanya berisi kemacetan jalan, ketakutan datang terlambat ke kantor, tugas-tugas rutin yang tidak menggugah semangat, dan kehidupan seperti mesin, yang hanya akan berakhir dengan pensiun tidak seberapa."

Menjadi Tua di Jakarta, Seno Gumira Ajidarma

I've read the quote before, but I never really had the chance to think about it. For the past three years, my life has been an endless routine that seemed to push me further away from finding a meaning in life. As much as I hate to admit it, I've became a robot.

The next morning after returning to Jakarta, I handed my resignation. After working at a government institution for almost 3 years, i decided to quit for good. Why? Because i don't want to wake up three years from now and still have to do the same thing over and over again. 

Am I scared? of course, but the excitement of being able to live under my own terms is all i can think about right now. And now I'm at the early stages of a personal project(s) with the person who has has inspired me the most this past year, @mgretti.

Ga usah takut kawan, burung pipit aja setiap hari bisa makan
