A solid ground

Sabtu pagi kemaren aku nyampe di rumah. Trip pulang pertama semenjak mulai kerja di jpg. Perasaan ketika nyampe rumah selalu sama seperti sebelum2nya ketika pulang dari Sumbawa untuk field break tiap 4 minggu sekali.

Sebuah sajak indah dari Kak Izzati, "Ibarat kerja adalah mengudara, maka pulang adalah membumi. Memeluk akar2 yang menghidupiku, supaya lekat terus perihal apa dan siapa yang membentukku sampai hari ini."

Ya, sejauh apapun aku bertumbuh, my home is my solid ground. Semua lelah dalam rantau akan hilang lantaran tubuh ini kembali ke petak 72m2 di lantai 15 itu. Sebuah syukur yang seharusnya tiada habis.

Dan emang pada dasarnya ku anak rumahan juga sih ehehehehe

It kinda amazes me how many things can happen within 2 years.

Adya yg dulu adalah ia yang goal-oriented. She always had well-defined targets for every milestones that she faced. She always focused on her target, sometimes she forgot to see what was around her. Seakan ia sedang mengenakan kacamata kuda.

She used to wake up in the morning with a bunch of check lists on her head. She was very well-driven (which is good in a way), but she lived more like a robot (who pushed herself hard during weekdays and locked herself in her room during weekends playing games ekekekek).

However now, as she started to experience the "real life", she is mesmerized by how unpredictable life can be. She realized how small she is. She realized that life can actually provides more than those check lists on her head. She is amused by how interesting it is to be exposed to different kinds of people. Now she is aware that the world is B I G.

She started to remove her 'kacamata kuda' and be open to every opportunities that come towards her. Starting from the smallest thing such as building relationships with new people with various backgrounds, until trying new hobbies that she never tried before. 

And that makes her more relaxed and happy to the fullest.

She easily enjoy small things. She is now able to appreciate everything that comes to her. Even seeing toddlers strolling around the park, or seeing some birds eating some bugs, watching froth bubbles, and listening to some operators making cheap jokes on the radio can make her smile. (Not to mention watching full moon from the top of column cells during night shift. It's her favorite).

Despite that, it doesn't mean that she is always happy though. Life being life; there are always some struggles here and there, bad days, including those monthly cycle cramps and emotional instability lol. Challenges are always there, and are always supposed to be there. But the way you see it differently is what matters.

When she looks at her life from a helicopter view, she likes this one better :)


And all of those happened within those 2 years.
So, what would happen in the next 2 years? Can't wait to see other surprises.
