I am your average, seventeen-year-old teenager, some may even use the term “mainstream” to describe my style of living. I couldn't agree less, which is why I have created this blog to prevent my descend into the forever misery of oblivion. I often hush the voices within me, thinking that it did not matter to others, useless. But someone along the years taught me that, what might seem as a regularity to me, might be whole new perspective to others.
So who am I? In sight, you would call me mainstream, but I can assure you that I have something unique to share. With my dad from Central Java and my mom with origins from Western Sumatra and Java Island, I am a full Indonesian girl. However at the age of four my dad brought us to, the once sand pit, Dubai, UAE. In love with its simplistic lifestyle, we stayed... for almost twelve years today. Nevertheless, life here became more... crowded, diverse and unfortunately its tradition of simplicity is fading and moralities became dependent upon materialism. I am now a person of the world, is it better this way? Unity (upon materialistic facades)?
Speechless in disbelief by the fast-pace changes of my surroundings, I start to feel greater urges to express my confusion. Fortunately, I shaped these urges into art pieces in which I will post here. As other forms of escape, I also ski, watch movies, make movies, shop (guilty!), cook, bake, take photographs and travel.
Listed above are a few hints to of whom I am, as an individual. i hope you find me interesting.
I left, but I came back... Bolder
Another page is turned but the novella, that is this blog, continues to flourish. Hello everybody, as very little of you know, this is not the first launching of this blog; in fact I have had this blog running for over four years by now (21/2/2016), since I was around thirteen. Believe it or not, regardless of the many reconstructions, I still have not yet merely understand how to function tumblr and its extravegant features. Thus, along with this new, more sophisticated, look of the blog is a some-what wiser and more mature blogger and artist. Although seemingly, and probably, naive at 17, I believe that I have set my goals and priorities straight as I have planned a future in this oeuvre of greater regular posts. A blog may seem so simple, yet could open loud minds to dance in freedom, I believe it’s a real eye-opener, reflective. So, here, my blog, is my experiment into self-discovery. Enjoy.
