Bagaimana kamu menjaga dirimu sendiri?

     Bagaimana aku menjaga diri, menjaga seseorang bernama Rina Amalia Riska. Jawaban pertama yang terpikirkan adalah dengan berbicara sebanyak dan sesering itu dengan diri sendiri, entah itu pembicaraan yang terdengar oleh orang lain (bersuara) atau hanya berkutat dikepala sendiri. Aku menyukainya,  berbicara dengan pikiran sendiri, sekadar untuk berterima kasih telah melalui hari ini dan mengomeli-nya jika melakukan hal yang tidak baik.  I try to keep saying to myself “it’s okay, you only human and you have Allah”.
     Huhuhu... hal kedua adalah dengan menangis, terkadang aku mengerti alasan aku menangis tapi terkadang ada masanya aku tidak tahu dan hanya ingin menangis. Dengan menangis membuat diriku bisa mengeluarkan banyak hal, mulai dari rasa khawatir, rasa takut, lelah, marah dan bahkan rasa syukur. As much as I like laughing I think that as much I like crying.
     My support system, my little family. Seeing them, talking to them, touching or even disturbing them is my way to take care of myself. Just being in the same space became my reminder of the reason that I need to work hard to protect them or at least not burden them.
    Stay away from people and smartphones, menghilang dan menjauh. Menyendiri dan berhenti berbicara dengan orang lain adalah salah satu cara untuk menjaga diri rina.
    Tapi cara terbaik tetaplah dengan mencintai diri sendiri. Allah menciptakan rina adalah salah satu bentuk sayangnya, jadi sebagai hamba yang baik rina juga harus menjaga salah satu ciptaannya yaitu diri rina sendiri. Sebanyak kekurangan rina, kesalahan serta kebodohan yang sering dilakukan tapi aku mencoba untuk selalu mengingat  “You do good job today too, it’s not perfect but it's okay”. So love yourself first, before you can share that love :)

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 ...
