(a) tending to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen.

Source: Oxford Dictionary

Saat masih kecil, aku adalah orang yang sangat optimis. Aku banyak mengikuti perlombaan, mengikuti kegiatan-kegiatan sosial. Aku tumbuh jadi anak yang optimis dan ceria, bahkan tak tanggung-tanggung aku dulu pernah punya cita-cita jadi astronom dan bekerja di NASA suatu hari. Dulu, aku percaya kalau semua cita-cita aku bisa terwujud. 

Semakin dewasa, aku semakin dibenturkan dengan segala hal yang realistis. Aku semakin sadar kalau tidak semua hal yang kita harapkan di dunia ini akan terwujud,ketika pada kenyataannya, aku gabisa jadi astronom apalagi jadi observer di NASA. Aku banyak bertemu kecewa belakangan ini. Belakangan aku sadar, kalau kecewa itu hal yang aku ciptakan sendiri, karena aku sudah terlanjur berekspektasi terlalu tinggi, menggantung harapan lebih dulu dan naif dengan tidak memikirkan konsekuensi terburuk. Saat ekspektasi ternyata tidak sebanding sama realita baru lah si kecewa ini lahir.

Dari banyak nya kecewa yang lahir di dalam diriku, aku cenderung jadi pribadi yang pesimis. Aku sekarang menolak untuk berharap lebih. Bahkan terkadang di sebagian kondisi aku mengutuk keberhasilan akan berpihak kepadaku. Aku yang dewasa ini mengalami penurunan optimisme, karena rasanya jika bercermin kepada masa lampau ketika aku kecil, aku melihat sosok yang beda dengan aku yang udah dewasa sekarang.

Terkadang pesimis itu baik sih, meminimalisir rasa kecewa. Ya, kadang akibat pesimis duluan, ketika harapan itu ga jadi kenyataan, aku ga terlalu nyesek. Tapi di sisi lain, aku bisa jadi overthinking, anxiety berlebihan dan penurunan kepercayaan diri. Pesimis berlebihan bikin aku jadi sangat insecure sekarang ini. Aku kadang tidak bisa melihat sisi baik dari diri sendiri, kadang pun merasa kalau diri aku ini selalu kurang.

Mungkin ya, pesimis ada bagusnya juga ada buruknya. Ketika kamu punya mimpi, kamu harus punya kemampuan untuk menyeimbangkan optimisme dan pesimisme kamu. Optimis baik, tapi kamu jangan lupa kalau kita semua ini cuma manusia yang bisa berharap. Harus bisa membayangkan juga kalau hal buruk pasti terjadi, bagusnya sih membuat plan tambahan terhadap perkiraan-perkiraan buruk tersebut. Pokoknya gitu deh!

-Tertanda aku, yang juga masih ga bisa (proses belajar) nyeimbaingin optimistic dan pesimistic, dan cenderung banyakan pesimisticnya-

After the days full of storm

The storm has raged for many days, battering us with its relentless winds and waves. But now, let us pause—take a moment to rest and thank God for seeing us through. We’re still here, still standing strong, still holding on. The storm could not tear us apart, and for that, I am deeply grateful. I thank God for everything—for the chance to walk this ferocious road together, hand in hand. Our ship still sails, though battered, refusing to sink.     Compromise—this is what we’ve learned and continue to learn. It’s not easy, but we try, recognizing that we are only human, prone to mistakes and imperfections. We’ve seen each other’s flaws, yet we choose to stay, to keep learning and growing together.   It’s through compromise, honest communication, and keeping a cool head that we’ve found ways to rethink our own inclinations. We’ve carried scars, both old and new, but we’re committed to healing them. Healing is not a destination but a journey, and as we walk this path, we...

Norwegian Wood

The place we used to hangout Pic of me was taken by him     For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that or it doesn’t begin at all.  ―  Haruki Murakami,  Norwegian Wood I agree with that statement. As of now, I'm feeling it too, starting to love someone since the first time he told me that Norwegian Wood is his favorite Beatles song. The more I discover about him, the more my affection grows. His manner of speaking, his thoughts, the way he treats me, his talents, style, hair, laughter, soft snores, voice, dreams, taste in music, choice of books, idols, art—every facet of him captivates my heart. Have you ever felt such a strong liking for someone that your chest hurts? That's how I feel about him. I don't know how to describe it, but my feelings are undeniable. But, on the one hand, there's a fear lingering within. Some say beauty fades quickly, and I worry about the possibility of him slipping away one ...

About Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Square is a public space and tourist attraction in central London , England . At its centre is Nelson's Column , which is guarded by four lion statues at its base. There are a number of statues and sculptures in the square, with one plinth displaying changing pieces of contemporary art. The square is also used for political demonstrations and community gatherings, such as the celebration of New Year's Eve. The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars . The original name was to have been " King William the Fourth's Square", but George Ledwell Taylor suggested the name "Trafalgar Square". In the 1820s the Prince Regent engaged the architect John Nash to redevelop the area. Nash cleared the square as part of his Charing Cross Improvement Scheme. The present architecture of the square is due to Sir Charles Barry and was completed in 1845. Trafalgar Square is owned by the Qu...
