Rumi said, if this life is a guest house, we should treat each guest honorably ; even though they often come unexpectedly, uninvited -most of the time. Tonight I'm going to send invitations, for peace, for calm, hope and a chance. Please come to my life.... For the last two weeks I haven't been at … Continue reading Guests

Practice
Prioritize the present instead of the past or the future.... To type that, is hard... To practice it ... Almost unimaginable.... How? With my hyperactive monkey mind.... To be calm and present for more than 15 seconds; it seems unattainable. But then again... All good things, all major achievements in life once appeared as unattainable … Continue reading Practice
Downgrade
I am downgrading my lifestyle... Not because I'm having a minimalist hype, not at all... I'm downgrading because I have to. I have no other option. A massive debt is still staring at me... It's been eight years now... I did everything that I can do... But it seems every attempt to crush this debt, … Continue reading Downgrade
Home
Write about your dream home. Currently, I'm living in my dream home... No.. it's not like I am living in a beautiful wooden two storey house in a small village on an island called Samosir in the middle of lake Toba, and I wake up every day with a majestic view, fresh cool air and … Continue reading Home
Faceless
Today is the day where I basically do a minimum function to live my life. I woke up, totally not interested in this new day, went to a doctor's clinic, went to work, said hi to everyone; yes, cheerfully!, but I'm dead inside. After work, I went to do some groceries, try to think about … Continue reading Faceless
Light
Dear light within, I know you're there, please come nearer, hold me, pat my back gently, kiss my forehead and say "all is well kid... All is well indeed... I'm tired, I know I must get going, but to where, how?, all the doors seem tightly shut. Dear light within, Touch my face when I … Continue reading Light
Ugly
I just finished a book, cloud cuckoo land by Anthony Doerr, a long unable to stop reading kind of book. I'm too drowsy to write about the book, but I'll tell you what I really like about the book. Ugliness is also part of the beauty... Many times I dream about life free of problems, … Continue reading Ugly
Relief
There's a short rain today, the first time I see rain in this place. Rain is just rain, they are all the same ... No? Well... No... I honestly believe that rain is a zillion different droplets... All have different purposes... I always love rain, to me it brings hope, a promise of growth and … Continue reading Relief
Present
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? No... I do not spend more time, I do it all the time.. why? Because I don't know how not to think about the future or the past. I have been trying harder for the last two weeks though.... To think about … Continue reading Present
Addicted
I'm addicted to worry... I never realized that until today. This last week... I was experimenting with my own thoughts. I made notes about my thoughts at that particular moment... Sad, worry, the past, regret, another worry... And so on.... And yes.. almost every minute I worry about something. So .... I'll try to talk … Continue reading Addicted
