Something new

Laras teman kost ku pindah ke Bali weekend ini karena mendapatkan pekerjaan baru di sebuah resort "Harris Resort" di Kuta, Bali. Akhir-akhir ini, dia sering keliatan suntuk dan bosan dengan kesehariannya. Dia sering mengeluh bosan dengan pekerjaannya, minder dengan teman-temannya yang sudah punya karir yang lebih bagus dari dia, kegagalan-kegagalannya dalam interview yang entah sudah berapa kali. Is there something wrong with me? Dia selalu tanya begitu. And finally now she achieve something she really dreams on, pekerjaan baru, lengkap dengan suasana baru.

Sekarang aku bisa merasakan kegairahan baru dalam hidupnya, untuk menyongsong sesuatu yang baru yang ada di depannya. Hmmm, I can smell the enthusiasm ... :) Pekerjaan baru dengan matahari yang bersinar di Bali, hanging out sepanjang Kuta ... it looks really nice :) ... Laras seolah mencapai sebuah turning point dalam hidupnya, yang akan membawanya ke suatu kehidupan baru. Pasti hidup yang baru itu nggak akan mudah dan banyak tantangannya. But trying something new is always interesting, right :) ?

Jadi, sekarang aku sendiri gimana? Hmmm ... aku udah agak2 terjebak dalam ritme kerja yang rutin dan begitu2 saja, sehingga ketika aku mendengar berita bahwa Laras akan pindah, ada sedikit perasaan iri dalam hatiku. Kapan ya aku bisa memulai kehidupan yang benar2 baru seperti yang Laras dapatkan? Efeknya yang pasti jelas, itu semakin membulatkan tekadku untuk cepat2 pindah dari kost ke Cibinong, as soon as possible.

Selamat buat Laras dengan kehidupan baru yang akan dijalaninya. You deserve it girl! Go for it, go for your happiness!

The emotional toll that we have been experiencing since March is real. Everything that we used to take for granted, like meeting up with friends, birthday parties, kids activities, traveling, the convenience of doing grocery shopping anytime we want, a lot of them have been taken away from us, from my family. No more parties, no more lunch or dinner with friends, no more invitation for birthday parties, no more traveling. Perhaps my life had become too easy before the pandemic. We had to switch Nathaniel from a brick and mortar school to a cyber school. I tried to plan my grocery trips ahead of time to avoid crowds. We had to wear masks everywhere. But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...
All of a sudden my thoughts fly to my old friends tonight. How are they all doing? I miss the good old days. I am here, content and happy, but somehow I still miss them. People come and go in your life, but true friends remain in the heart, no matter where they are now, right :) ?
