The Minimalists: Less Is Now (2021)

        Film dokumenter terbaru tentang minimalism kembali mengingatkan diriku tentang bagaimana seharusnya kita dalam memiliki sebuah barang. Melihat lebih dalam ke diriku tentang alasan aku ingin memiliki sesuatu dan membuatku semakin belajar melihat nilai (value) sesungguhnya dari setiap barang yang aku miliki. Film ini memperlihatkan pengaruh minimalism dikehidupan orang - orang yang telah menjalaninya serta mengajari cara tentang bagaimana kita memulainya dengan langkah kecil atau mungkin dengan langkah yang besar dan lebih berani. 

"You're never gonna have the money for everything you want"

Dave Ramsey  (Author, The Total Money Makeover)


"The kind of debt that creates the most problems in our society comes from a felt need to keep up with appearances. Placing unnecessary burdens on yourself in order to maintain some kind of image."

"I first need time to come up with my own ideas about what's gonna make me happy. I'm not gonna get my ideas about what a good life is from external sources of stimulation. I'm gonna listen to that inner voice and see where that's guiding me"

T.K. Coleman (Director, Foundation for Economic Education)


        Pada dasarnya kita akan selalu terpengaruh terhadap banyak hal dihidup kita, terpengaruh oleh orang - orang terdekat atau bahkan orang - orang yang tidak pernah kita kenal di sosial media. Tapi semua harus kembali kepada diri kita, menyadari bahwa kita terpengaruh adalah langkah pertama untuk menghindarinya. Kita juga akan selalu memiliki ketertarikan terhadap barang, entah itu karena imajinasi kita terhadap barang tersebut atau pengaruh kehidupan sosial yang membuat kita menginginkannya. Akhirnya kita hanya perlu berhenti sejenak untuk mulai berpikir dan melihat lebih jelas barang yang masuk kedalam kehidupan kita. Apakah hal tersebut benar - benar menambah value hidup kita atau hanya memenuhi tuntutan sosial yang tidak akan pernah ada habisnya.

It's a Good Documentary on Netflix👏

Have we became the person we wanted to be?

          A painful question lingers in my mind: Why do we keep reviewing our lives and feeling disappointed with certain parts of it? Do you ever wonder how life turned out this way? I can't quite express what I'm trying to convey right now, but what I do know is that at this moment, I'm not the person I wanted to be.           Have I ever become the person I aspired to be? I don't know. But with every step I take, I keep trying. Some parts of my journey may disappoint me, while others might make me proud of myself.         The lingering feelings, the unstable heart. And then comes the next question: Will we ever truly become the person we want to be?           I think we might never reach that point, because as humans, we tend to focus on what we lack in life. It often feels like we are never enough.           But life is a journey, not a des...

Death-Cast

            How to die the right way? The only right answer is always going to be subjective. The way I prefer to die might not be the same as the way you want to die. So, how would you like to die?           If you die due to sickness, it’s going to be a long process. The people you love might have a hard time taking care of you. They might hold onto hope with a little spark of fear at the same time. They might feel thankful for still having you here, even when you can’t do much. At the same time, there’s sadness in seeing you become weak when you used to be so strong. They might wish you the best and, while it's not easy, they might better understand if you leave because seeing you sick and in pain hurts them too.           If your death is sudden, it might feel like thunder on a sunny day. Everything becomes blue and dark suddenly, leaving no time to process. They might be shocked and unabl...

POV

          POV, or Point of View, is a person's opinion or a particular way of thinking about something (this is what I read in the Cambridge Dictionary). Lately, I've been reading a lot of novels, including fanfiction, many of which use multiple POVs. This has piqued my curiosity.           There's a quote from a book I read, "The Laws of Human Nature": "The world simply exists as it is—things or events are not good or bad, right or wrong, ugly or beautiful." That's why everyone has their own view on things; they see the world through different glasses. We've never been objective in seeing things in the first place. Humans are such subjective creatures. "We are all self-absorbed, locked in our own worlds"           Every person is different from each other. Your past shapes your present, and your present shapes your future. Life's struggles can affect two people differently, causing them to think ...
