New Year of 2018

It is the First Day in 2018!

Hey there... How’s life? Oh ya it’s already been 2018 now.. Happy Brand New Year!

So what were you doing in the last day of 2017 and in the first day of 2018? Well.. Some of you might have celebration in New Year ’s Eve: going to some celebrating places and watching the beautiful fireworks or gathering with your family and having a barbeque party. Some of you might just not care about the New Year’s because it only means that you have to change 7 into 8, so you would be just sticking with your daily life: working, sleeping, having some cups of coffee, having talks with friends full of laugh or even just chatting with your boyfriend or girlfriend. However, some of you might go in deeper manner of ‘celebrating’ New Year’s eve: contemplating your previous milestone in 2017 and portraying your future life in 2018, posting in social media accounts such as FB, IG or even Blog telling people about your ups and downs but you manage to welcome 2018 and say good bye to 2017 J or writing down your planned resolution to be accomplished in 2018. Well.. Everyone has their own way to step in 2018 and it is completely okay as long as you don’t get other people annoyed because of you hoho.

So, how about you? Are you happy with the New Year’s celebration you had? I guess some of you are grateful enough about the joyful life you had in 2017 despite the fact that some unpleasant events happened in your life. Yet, I am sure some of you are not feeling really excited today because some of your goals or your biggest dream hadn’t been achieved in 2017. If you are one of them or even when you are in both conditions, I would say that it is okay. I feel you. It is okay for both of you...You’ve been doing so well till today. Moreover for you who feel that you’re in your bottom line of your life, I am so proud you because look! You’re still breathing and surviving. It means you are still in humane condition to continue your life and pursue your goals.

And how about me? How did I feel about 2017 and how do I feel about 2018?

I will say that it’s been so great yet so teary year for me. I felt happy, excited, blessed, wonderful, great, relieved but sad, disappointed, tired, mad, frightened, worried, and desperate in the same time. I felt happy for having timeless experiences, worthy learning process and unlimited love of friends. I had strategic position in big organization enabling me to meet various people and giving me chances to work, play while earning. In 2017, couldn’t say enough thanks for the jobs that allowed to visit some places like Maumere, Jakarta, Surabaya and Semarang free and getting paid. I am blessed with the trusted jobs to be a speaker, coach and adjudicator. I could meet people who were inspiring, admirable and sisters/brother to be. I was happy because the students I coached and taught could learn from me and made some progress. I was feeling wonderful to see their happy face while holding some trophies or to know that they were bounded each other and considered me as someone for them. I was excited to hang out and talk some rubbish with my old or new friends. I was incredibly relieved as well as superb to finish my responsibility in the organization I led sound and well.

It is great, isn’t it? But life is life, you can’t always dive in the clean water, you will find dirty water and eventually you still have to dive into it. You can’t always walk smoothly because when you find rough pathway, you’ll get stumble. So do I, dear J

I found my planned goals failed, ruined and hung. The myth about middle life crisis told by people is real and it punished me in these past few months (which I believe that some people are struggling through it as well). However, it is new year I won’t let anything punishes me anymore (except when I am at fault hehe). I have been in 2017 and now I am surviving. I still have goals need to be achieved, resolution need to be realized, mentality to be cured, and heart to be embraced. So I will level up not only continuing my life. I have many things to do but one thing for sure, I will finish my suspended writing projects and I will write a lot more about anything this year.

So... it was from me. So how about you? Have you thought about 2018? Have you decided? For anything you decide later or now on, I wish you the most wonderful life ahead in 2018. Let’s have great endeavors in our own boat! See you to my next writing :)
