2022 Remarks
It’s been months and possibly years since I expressed my feelings, the ups, and downs, in words. From several followings on Instagram, I think 2022 was quite a roller coaster ride for most people. However, I believe it was not for me.
I am quite proud of what I’ve experienced in 2022. Yes, it was a ride, but many things that happened feel like they fell nicely as it supposed to. Changes happened quite a lot this year, thus the changes were needed. Some were terrifying at first, but once I got the hang of it, everything was super normal.
Started off by moving from a tiny little apartment, one bedroom shared for five adults into a 4 bedroom house, with two bathrooms. Then, had my eyed-opening holiday with my best friend, completely just the two of us after months of planning, which apparently opened up a new door within me, that somehow brought me into a new hope to travel the world (or Indonesia for a more realistic approach). After being bored and see a lot of opportunities to have additional income, I became a career coach, to help people looking for jobs. It was cool and tiring at the same time. Then, decided to move to a new company after drowning for years with uncertainty and being treated like shit, and turns out that people that I thought didn’t care were even giving their care MORE than I expected. I did go out with a few guys that I just knew, none works as I expected but that’s okay. I had my first break out, was feeling very stressed about it, and thank God it has been getting better already. I also managed to be part of a small startup based in West Java, allowing me to visit the city (going on and off the train) almost every month. AFS-wise, I finally get the chance to be involved more since we had two hosting students: Ben & Ila who are very mature for their age. Also, the new company that I joined literally show me a different level of profesh, although the company decided to lay off 18% of the employee, and luckily I was part of the ones who stayed. Lastly, I had the chance to travel lightly, with only one backpack with my brother (of course, I put some of my stuff in his backpack haha) to drive around Bali, from swimming in the sea to hiking Mount Batur.
Although several plans didn’t work out as I hoped (no concert, no bf, no problem? hahaha), I’d like to thank everyone for being part of my 2022 journey. In short, it was great and memorable. I didn’t expect a lot happened this year, I set aside to write a year-long reflection on Dec 31st at 10.30 PM with fireworks in the background, but I am glad it happened.
Wish for a better (love) life, spiritual journey, and more travel-related experience. Finger crossed.
