Day 34 Till I Die

 


Love,

How are you today?

Do you want to hear a good story or a bad story about me?

Maybe we'll start with a good one. I got so many blessings today. This morning, my neighbor gave me some food. It was delicious! I ate it for breakfast.

I met my friend, L. I had promised to go to her archery practice. I didn't expect her to give me so many things: bakso, noodles, snacks, cake, and more. I even got a Tupperware for drinks! I am so grateful for everything I received today.

I also got a seat on the train when I went to Jakarta and when I came back home. That's a blessing too, right?  Because, you know, the train is so full, especially on weekends.

Do you want to hear about the not-so-good things?  Maybe they're not really bad, but they make me feel burdened and down.  I wanted to share my gratitude with my mother, but all she asked me about was a job.  She asked if I'd asked my friend about job vacancies. It made me feel complicated.

Am I selfish if I want to live my life the way I want?  Am I selfish if I want to be happy with my life?  Am I selfish if I want to make my dreams come true?  I'm not just standing still. I'm doing my best for my life.  But why do they always tell me to take a different path, or a path they want me to take? Why do they always pressure me? Why don't they pressure my sister? Why is it always me?

I told my friend that I honestly don't regret my decision to resign.  But the timing just isn't as good as I imagined it would be after the divorce.  It's just beyond my plan and expectations.  So, the decision I made seems like a bad one now.  I'm so tired of my own mind.

I was thinking about going back to my hometown next month for Idul Adha, but I don't think I will.  I just don't want to hear any nagging from them.

I'm so sorry, Love.  It seems like I have a lot to complain about. I just need to talk to someone.

So, thank you, Love.  See you again, if tomorrow comes.
