Finding my peace



I finally wrote about this, since it's not something I want to tell people verbally. I don't think many people still read blogs as well, haha.. so this is a good remedy for me.

To be honest, I feel that I have many wounds from the past, that I still can not get over with until now. Sometimes, I remember those and cry, sleep, and then I wake up again; the difference is now I am getting better at facing reality. I let those sadnesses come cause in the end I am just a human, then I can come back again stronger, and little by little, I am getting better. 

When I was younger, with problems that I had, I always felt how unlucky I was, then I thought I had to keep that feeling from telling others cause I believed I was being dramatic. Believe it or not, with my extroverted personality, I still have many stories that I never shared with anyone, cause either it was too painful to remember, too embarrassing, or I just wanna delete those memories, cause they made me so lost. 

In fact, I am so much happier now, I am independent, and I do what I want to do in life. This is a good thing about being a nomad, I move when I need to. You know, sometimes far away from home can be a remedy, when home is not the safest place anymore.. then you need to go, and it's okay because, in the end, you are fighting your own journey, and you need to create your own home.

For me, finding my peace is a long journey taking years. Why am I depressed sometimes? Why could I not forgive? Why I blamed things on destiny? It took me years of being far from influential powers in my life, and then exploring my identity became better. Who am I? What do I love to do? What is my purpose in life? What is precious to me? and so many questions that I can not answer without having the freedom to understand myself. 

So, I have decided to embrace every journey; not only that I have the freedom to be myself, but I have the opportunity to heal from the bad things, that have affected me so much, so long, and so deeply. So to everyone that feels the same, I want to remind you, that whatever you feel is valid. Just because it's not as bad as what others going through, does not mean it was not bad for you. So it's okay to feel sad and try to heal. 

I still can not tell how bad it was, maybe it was not so bad, but then again, it was real. at least for me, the pain is real, and I still learning to deal with it and let it go.. So I am still on my journey to find my peace. By the end of the day, I hope that I will understand the purpose of my creation, and why what happened to me had to happen; then, I can take the wisdom, and truly find my peace. Amen.

Motivations and Expectations of Study at Electric Power Engineering KTH

This essay was made for Sustainable Electric Power Engineer assignment at KTH           Coming from Indonesia, an archipelago country with more than 17,000 islands, I see different challenges on electricity generations and distributions faced by my country. Indonesia has achieved a 98.86% electrification ratio since 2019, but regional disparities of electricity access are still happening. Many electrified regions, especially in Eastern Indonesia, have not had access to 24 hours electricity [1]; this impedes the development of other sectors such as economic, education, or health.  Therefore, I am motivated to pursue a career in the energy sector to take part in improving the life quality of many Indonesian citizens by providing more reliable energy access for society. By studying in the Electric Power Engineering [2] program in KTH, I wish to have a solid understanding of the electrical system, its operation and planning that will be beneficial to dev...

Ketika Hidupmu Terasa Begitu Sulit

Dalam setiap lika-liku kehidupan seseorang tentunya pernah mengalami berbagai kesulitan, baik ringan, biasa, atau dirasa begitu berat. Kehilangan orang yang disayang, harta benda, kedudukan, penyakit yang parah, ambisi yang tidak terwujud, atau depresi karena kesalahan yang dilakukan. Sejatinya, hidup adalah kumpulan masalah dan solusinya, kumpulan kehilangan dan menerima, dan kumpulan input dan output. Jika setiap peristiwa dan apa yang dapat kita indra adalah input, maka sikap kita adalah outputnya. Sebagai anak yang cenderung cengeng dan kekanak-kanakan ( banget, apalagi dulu ), aku bukanlah orang yang cukup dewasa dalam mengatasi permasalahan hidupku, aku dulunya bahkan sangat mudah depresi atas masalah yang kurasa sulit. Tapi satu hal yang aku pelajari dan aku pegang teguh sampai sekarang, “ Bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan, dan segalanya akan berlalu dan baik-baik saja ”. Tanpa adanya kesulitan, tentunya kita tidak akan pernah berkembang, dan akan stag pada level keprib...
