#1 : Personality

 Day 1 of  30 days writing challenge.


Personality.

Talking 'bout personality, I'm not really good in expressing my self in a place with high competition or where people are eager to show that they're 'it'. The more people show off, the more will I withdraw from it.

Anyway, I have a conflicted personality, at times I want to explore things and be expressive, but mostly i'm quite reserved--not really fond of bragging things or achievement. Maybe it's always been my nature since I was born as a middle child, with two dominant siblings; my big bro and my li'l sis both are headstrong and I've been functioning as a catharsis since day 1 (maybe this is for day 11). 

Diagnosed before with severe depression, schizo, and bipolar symptoms, I just glad I can keep my sanity intact, and no relapse hopefully ever again (this will be another full story on its own~ lol. Maybe someday i'll write this down). I'm not ashamed for experiencing what's in the past, I gained so much from it. Maybe too many. 




For my personality, you can draw the red line from my early childhood up until now. Have always been told as an obedient yet rebel child (this is how I became a complicated and conflicted person), yet I know that of all three (of my parents' children) it's always been my responsibility to straighten things up, but deep inside I just wanted to be 'ignorant', but fact is I just can't. Although my li'l sis have more responsibility nowadays in her hand, but she's stronger than me as a character. People actually listened to her. For most of my life, I'm invisible. 

Always knew that parents have their golden child, and it's not (and will never be) me. I was the least person to be considered in the house. Nobody ever listened to what I said (I literally have no voice nor authority). Always knew it, but the epiphany came after I was severely mentally impaired about two years ago.  Though they did take care of me during my absolute breakdown times, but they never really cared, or say sorry, not more than caring about saving their own face or at least get rid of their problem.

Oh right, as part of my conflicted personality, I'm an anxious person. And It's a sad thing that even up until now I'm still having suicidal thoughts in my mind. And I have a huge trust issues in me. But have been trying to put positive things in my life  (this perhaps will be a story for tomorrow, day 2 :)...) as I don't want to put another mental burden again and have been outspoken more and more lately, which is a good thing.

How to Ghibli?

That time of the year, again. Why can't life be more like Ghibli's aesthetics? It has been a while for me to be in my 30s, and soon I will be turning 40. What will one expect when one turns into a 40-year-old woman?  Why can't life be like Ghibli's slice of life feature films? Why can't we find ideal love like in those movies? 3 years ago today I still can't imagine that I finally found out that my (back then) spouse was a serial cheater, a swinger, and an avid liar. My whole life was crumbled, and my mind went crazy, like literally mad (will tell this someday when I'm ready). And briefly after that, I met a random guy, got married again in such a short time, and have a baby not long after. Back then, no one really cares about how I feel inside, my messed up mind is still there up until now. So, what to do?

#9: Happiness

  Day 9 of 30 days writing challenge. Happiness I am everything but happy right now, I'm sorry. Not really in the mood to talk about happiness so today we'll be off topic. Not happy now. Just heard a heartbreaking news about work-related stuff, and the feel of rejection is similar with the one that I felt during my apprenticeship year, when I heard that my Studio Coordinator gave me an E so I have to do another year again (8 hours credits do it another year, he hated me gut and my window shape , so yeah I'm screwed). Always thought that drawing buildings isn't my thing, but I stuck there nonetheless. Come to think of it, my undergrad years were full of sh*t and sadness, there's always this lecturer that hated your design. And you felt like crap). I cried back then, on the rooftop of RRI building where my project management took place. I'm not always bright, I've been through hell. And it's not sweet. Anyways, I'm not unfamiliar with this kind of f...

#4: Places on My List

Day 4 of  30 days writing challenge. Places on My List Been obsessed with these places, and wished the pandemic soon to be over so that we can go there and enjoy life and love to the fullest. Cambodia I don't know why, been dreaming on going to Siem Reap  for about two years now. The thoughts of going there seemed exquisitely charming and the old temples--although some said similar to what we have in Jogja --look mysterious.  Ancient stone faces of Bayon temple, Angkor, Cambodia.  Photo: iStock (https://www.traveller.com.au/siem-reap-cambodia-things-to-do-expert-tips-from-an-expat-h1ju19) Maybe i'm a bit influenced by Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones , always love those kinds of movies (and games). I remember when I was a child, there's this TV show about treasure-hunt and stuff (I forgot the title, sorry) where the main character flew a seaplane in a tropical island looking for treasures, some in ancient ruins. I also preoccupied by One Piece , a superb manga created ...
