I'm in love with diversity. I'm in love with how diversity relate to humanity. I'm in love with how diversity was born from genuinity. I'm in love with how diversity create a unity. I'm in love with the dazzling diversity of all the women in this world Dark skin. Eighteen. Blue eyes. Cries. Thick eyebrow. On sorrow. Long haired. Frightened. Writer. Fighter. No matter, Your skin tone, your eye colour, your profession, your circumtances. You're beautiful in diversity. You're georgeous. You're an epiphany. To all the woman in this world. Who are crying. Who are laughing. Who are pleasant. Who are...

I just saw some jokes in Twitter about COVID-19 related to Asians and Chinese people. As an Asian, it's not funny at all to joke like that in this situation, and I got a little bit offended. They said "don't be close to Chinese people." How can this be possible, while China also helps other countries to solve the problem? Why don't they use their maturity and humanity to act? Please, don't be racist, and if your friends are infected with COVID-19, avoid the virus, not the person. COVID-19 is a big reminder for humans. Though many people have died and become sick, we can still try to find some...

Every living soul born to this earth must serve a purpose. Big or small. What is purpose... How should we find it, ours... When we serve a big purpose, it seems easy for us to identify it. We will come out to the surface of the water, visible and identifiable. However, what if we serve a small purpose... We will not come out to the surface of the water, we will might as well be submerged, there will be no momentum to soar high. Invisible and unidentifiable. It is only our existence. Our existence that will touch others'. How would it make a purpose, we might think. It is our existence...

As we all know, since the start of the COVID 19 pandemic, health care workers have been risking their lives every day to help treat and care for the sick. Hundreds of health-care workers lost their lives battling the coronavirus. They have been standing on the frontline for all of us. Basically, in this blog, I just wanted to tell something to the health-care workers. And, here's what I want to tell : 1. Thank you so much for everything that you do, everything that you sacrificed, and for your love. 2. Thank you so much for your resilience during this time. You never have a doubt to treat us...

I was asking myself, "Why am I so uncomfortable?" And basically, what I had to do to get up here today, is reframe my way of thinking. Alright, now let's talk about the success mindset. So, the reason I want to bring this up as the first topic of the season is that it's so important to know the foundation and to have that foundation ingrained in you, that mindset to succeed. I want to break it down and show parts of where this mindset can come from. It's not all, because I still have so much more to learn in life. But definitely, there is something that sets successful people apart from people...

Mental health is important. It impacts how we feel, think, and behave each day. Our mental health also contributes to our decision making, problem solving, how we deal with stress, and how we can relate to others in our lives. That's why, we have to always care about our own mental health. It's for the sake of our social well-being. Our mental health plays an important part on a daily basis, promoting productivity in activities like work, school, etc. If you adapt easily to new environments, then it means both your mental and emotional are healthy. Have you ever felt down or sad? I bet you all...

It took a virus to proof that basic human needs are mandatory for everyone. Yet, here we are.

"Experience is The Best Teacher" It was in the 3rd grade when i first knew that quote above. I was questioning, who's the teacher named experience? How does he look like?. What could an 8-years-old-girl possibly think about the hidden message of this famous quote. 10 years passed. Now im 18 and of course i have figured out what "Experience Is The Best Teacher" exactly means. My mind said that experience is just like a history. In my first day in the history class, my teacher told me that history is important for the present and a better future. Everything that we experienced personally or what...

Life is not always easy. Whether you like it or not, there's always a rough road in your journey. There's such a hardship everywhere. You don't have to forsake all the wonderful things you've earned and collected, no just showing empathy and support for others is a start.

When I was a child, I always thought the future was placed in a particular place and time in the forward times. The future is when everything gets better, shiny, and everyone smiles under the sunshine. It's the era of flying cars, far-based messages, and all the people can dress and make up their body all they want. As I grow up, life starts unfolding itself, and it never stops. As if it's an endless scarf that's covering a mysterious surface. I thought maybe I would die before I get to the future. I thought that I would never reach there because I see nothing change around me. But, I've heard...

Lift your head and see a lot of beauty in front of you, even from the tip of a dry branch. Don't give up on one failure, and remember there are many other opportunities that exist even from something you didn't expect before... Love yourself and believe in many opportunities to be better.

No one ever told me that growing up would be easy, but I never expected it to be hard. During the ages of 12-18, it would be really hard, right? It's not just about hanging out with friends, shopping for new clothes, getting excited for the first day of school, sleepover at your best friends house, or maybe going on a date with your partner. But everything won't be as good as we thought. There will be some days where we're gonna cry so hard and feeling down all day. Why are my family not as happy as theirs? Why are my friends talking behind my back? Why is my partner cheating on me? Why do I...

The future and dreams are the things that we look forward to the most... there is hope to be realized but everything will work out if we want to go through the obstacles that stand in the way.... but some of us often feel fear and lack of self-confidence, afraid to try and afraid of failure ... Now ... try to look ahead, straighten up and believe yourself to be able to go through everything without fear, always be patient and thorough ... ignore all that interferes, nothing is impossible if want and want to try...

This is my story on facing discrimination towards minority religion. When I was in middle school, I used to win several competitions on short-story writings. One day, the school decided to move me to the exclusive class in which students were specifically supervised to achieve their non-academic accomplishments. It was an exciting news until I had to actually socialize with my new classmates. Being a minority in a majority is really challenging. Indonesia is a country with various religions. Equality is the dream we try to achieve, and yet I felt like the world turns its back against me. The...

It's 2020, when all activities are under a new adjustment due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and one of them is learning from home. It also had an impact on me that made me no longer live in the city where I studied. So I decided to go back to my city. At first, everything went well and I enjoyed all the learning process. However, the next year I got into trouble. All the problems started to come to me, like loneliness, anxiety and even trust issues. I want people to understand me without having to tell them first. Because even when I wanted to tell them, I didn't know where to start and how...

I have no idea how many times I cried myself to sleep, or felt like giving up on life because of all the messed up thoughts and mixed up feelings that kept buzzing around me; and because of the miserable things that kept happening to me, until recently. I began to recognize how many times I survived those storms. I started to realize, how strong I am. By simply waking up everyday and having a glass of water to keep my body hydrated from all the suffocating feelings and tears from the night before. By simply taking a bath with really cold water to revive my nerves from all the tiredness after...

At the start of the Pandemic I had a lot of spare time, so I created personal goals to challenge myself. I wanted to be an intellectual person, an agent of change, and a social person that changes my surroundings for the better. To get started on my third goal, I wanted to try to raise money for people that were affected by the Pandemic. So on my 11th birthday, I doodled two art pieces to crowdfund my project. The media helped in raising awareness about the project. After all the donations, I was able to secure 100 packages that were filled with food that I donated to the people impacted by...
