Everything I Said is Gone Viral

"Silent is Gold," I must agree with it as sage people often said.
As you get older, you will very hard to meet people you can trust to. You think you have found people you can trust.
Fact is... you will never find them just in a very short time.
It takes years to classify them as trusted friends.

I find it very difficult to find people I can trust to in a zona where people seem love to compete and try to be always number one.
No, I don't hate competition. I love it in a soft kind of way. Perhaps, people I meet, love to show it in a frontal way.

So, I choose to shut my mouth. To keep it closed in front of people who are still in the circle.
We never know that people we are discussing with are people who get us wrong in every word we say.
It's more way lovely to find no words has spilled out than to find it went viral and fatal.
The impacts is always hurting...

I am feeling like an outcast now. Too bad, huh? Feeling before thinking is always a bad thing. Speaking without thinking is bad, as well.
But, I learn many good lessons within a few days: days, as I assume it as horrible days in fact contain lessons I would never ever forget.

Now, I do really choose my inner circle, people I am really comfort with. People who can support me to be the very best of me.

Amen to that!

It’s Always God: Through Change and Growth

Unstoppable gratitude, these are the two words that define 2025, and probably 2026 and many years ahead. When I look back at early 2025, so many meaningful things happened. The second semester at UNHAN began. My children turned 10 and 8. We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary, and my husband and I both turned 37. Many beautiful moments filled our days. Besides the ups, we also faced some downs. As a couple, we learned how to reconcile and find our rhythm again. We are constantly learning to manage our shortcomings so that the system we have built—our family—can keep working and growing. The second half of 2025 brought quite drastic changes. My husband moved to a different division at work, and we moved into our panggon , our new home in Halim Perdanakusuma. Our children advanced to years 5 and 3. I was no longer in my second semester at UNHAN, but I was trusted to serve as a Master of Ceremony and moderator for several UNHAN events. I also traveled to Pontianak for a few days with ...

The House That Carried Us Forward

I don’t think I’ve ever written about the government housing provided by the Air Force where we’re currently living. We’ve been here for almost half a year now—since June, to be exact. I still remember the day we left Malang for Jakarta: the kids and I ended up crying together. Strangely enough, that move also happened in December, as if the month itself always carries a bittersweet turning of seasons for our family. But life moves forward, and so must we. Our first home in Jakarta was in Lubang Buaya—a small house, roughly 108 square metres, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. My mother-in-law had lived there ever since I married her son in 2014. My husband and I bought the house using a mix of our parents’ support. Technically, we still owe my parents the remaining balance. Lol. After living in Jakarta for about two and a half years, we decided to move into what we call the Panggon , or rumah dinas—a service house provided by TNI AU. Since it isn’t a Rumah Jabatan < Official Re...

Pilih(an)

Konon, menulis jurnal adalah bagian dari proses penyembuhan. Saya mengangguk setuju. Menulis jurnal , bukan menumpahkan emosi lewat status WhatsApp sambil berharap semesta ikut marah hanya karena hati kita sedang seret. Ada jurang lebar antara refleksi batin dan pamer luka di ruang publik, meski banyak yang mengacaukannya. Awalnya saya enggan menyinggung hal ini. Namun, hidup sering bercanda—niat saya membahas hal lain langsung terpelintir hanya karena saya menanggapi sebuah status WA. Rupanya respons saya tidak bertaut dengan ekspektasinya. Jadilah ia bereaksi—riuh, garang, seperti hendak menerkam sesuatu yang bahkan bukan ancaman. Saya hanya tersenyum tipis. Mungkin saya memang salah frekuensi. Ternyata, memberi perhatian pun bisa dianggap provokasi oleh orang yang sedang tidak selaras gelombang batinnya. Dan ya, mungkin energi saya sedang terlalu lincah; spontanitas saya memercik, lalu memicu dinamika yang membuat saya menghela napas dan membatin, “Ya ampun… ups .” Saya tak henda...
