STOP IT!

Hello! Just like I said on one of my Instagram picture, now I'm writing a long-ass post about body-shaming among the society. According to http://yourdictionary.com, t he definition of body shaming is the practice of making critical, potentially humiliating comments about a person's body size or weight . Kurang jelas? Oke. Singkatnya, body-shaming itu adalah ketika seseorang mengolok-olok orang lain berdasarkan bentuk tubuhnya. Gue gak tau pasti tujuannya yang jelas gue benci banget sama satu hal ini. Dan di postingan kali ini, gue bakal jelasin kenapa body-shaming itu perbuatan hina yang harus dimusnahkan. Gue emang gak terlahir sebagai cewek gemuk. Tapi yah mungkin emang pada dasarnya suka makan, makanya gue jadi gemuk. Lucunya, dari jaman gue SD sampe kuliah gini, gue pasti punya temen yang gak peduli sebanyak apapun dia makan, dia gak bakal bisa gemuk. Society teaches people to be ashamed of their appearances. ...

Kids: Then and Now

Hi everyone! Finals are over and I'm finally back to write (hopefully) on a regular basis. I can not tell you how relieved I am because my fifth semester is over. Only three more semesters until I get my bachelor degree! Phew, that's not a long time! Also, that means I'm getting older as well. Even so, there are things I actually do not enjoy.

Masih banyak hal yang pengen gue pelajari termasuk arti daripada kedewasaan itu sendiri. Why ?

Gue bersyukur karena selama 12 tahun wajib belajar, gak sekalipun orang tua maksa gue buat mikir hal-hal berat selain tugas sekolah. As my...

Welcoming 2016

Hiya, lovely people! I apologize for my absence. Things aren't too great right now and I can't be bothered to write about topics that will make me dizzy in no time. So, I decided to write about what excites me. Leaving 2015 behind was quite hard for me because even though I struggled with my body image (again), a lot of good things happened last year. I tend to make stupid decisions and sometimes doing idiotic stuffs, which of course, put me in trouble. In my defense, those two make great memories. I had never felt confident in my whole life. But in 2015, I felt so confident. Yeah, it started with me found out that my ex cheated (with a high-school student for goodness sake). Not a great start. Although I'm somewhat happier that I'm not with him anymore, I feel sorry for him. I don't know how or when things around me started looking up. But they did. Watching One Direction in Jakarta will always be my favourite memory. It filled with excitement, happiness, but also ...
