Disiplin dan Mandiri

Pandemi mengubah banyak aspek dalam hidup saya, terutama mengenai manajemen waktu dan kemandirian. Selama kurang lebih satu tahun, saya merasakan Work From Home dengan jam kerja yang tidak teratur. Notifikasi dan tuntutan kerja datang tidak mengenal waktu, bisa saja masuk pukul 7 pagi, lalu selesai pukul 11 malam. Berjam-jam bekerja di hadapan monitor laptop, cukup membuat saya jengah dengan pandemi. Bagaimana tidak, moment untuk bertemu orang-orang terkasih menjadi sangat terbatas, ruang gerak menjadi semamin sempit, dll. Menjaga kewarasan artinya saya juga harus menjadi pengaturan waktu yang baik antara bekerja, istirahat, merawat diri, juga melakukan hal-hal kecil yang sangat saya sukai. Butuh waktu cukup lama untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan kondisi tersulit sepanjang hidup saya sebelum menginjak usia 28 tahun. 


Saya juga digembleng untuk lebih mandiri, salah satunya dalam hal merawat diri terutama saat positif COVID-19. Dua kali dinyatakan reaktif, jujur bukan perkara mudah. Saya harus konsultasi dokter sendirian, mengurus obat-obatan sendiri, menyiapkan makanan sehat sendiri, mengecek saturasi oksigen sendiri, dll. Bahkan saya juga harus berjuang sendiri, jauh dari orang tua untuk terus bertahan hidup sampai kondisi pandemi tidak lagi menjadi pandemi.

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea? 

Act of Service

Several times I asked my fiance why he rarely gave me flowers, chocolate, cake, and other things related to sweet things linked to Valentine's Day. And I think I got the answer now. I love to observe people, even somehow my awareness gone with no trace lol. I think it was rooted from his culture as well. He's patient enough to do house chores even if he had a lot to prepare for his works. Several times I went to his house, and I was amazed by how clean and neat it was. He has no housekeeper to assist him doing those stuff, he did it by himself. Tried to wipe my finger on his cabinet or tv, and I found nothing. You know, when we cooked together, he didn't ask and force me to help. He needed me to just watch him dancing while cooking, listen to him singing song he composed by himself, and to show off how he seasoned the food so it would taste incredibly delicious. He also taught me how to take care of white blouse and T-shirt effortlessly. Unfortunately, since I had a lot on ...
