TIME MACHINE



Chewed by Mothy

I remembered a friend of mine asked : "Misalnya ada orang yang akan ngabulin permintaan lo apa aja mut, lo mau minta apa?"
I said : "apa aja nih?" "Iya, apa aja" "Time machine"

Ya, Mesin waktu. Gue akan selalu jawab gue mau mesin waktu tiap muncul pertanyaan kaya gitu. Kenapa? Ya karena nyesel itu, seperti banyak orang bilang, datengnya belakangan. Dari dulu gue selalu berpikir kayanya seru kalo kita bisa muter waktu, terus merubah pilihan kita di masa yang lalu itu. Siapa coba yang gamau? Semua orang pasti mau. Entah itu mengulang kejadian ketika memutuskan pilihan, atau ngulang kejadian kejadian indah. Life has no Ctrl+Z. Jangankan mesin waktu, andaikan gue punya tombol undo di hidup gue aja. Gue sering banget menyesali suatu keputusan sampe sekarang.
Kenapa ya gue milih sekolah disini? Coba gue tadi ga kaya gitu, pasti ga kaya gini jadinya. Coba tadi gue milihnya a, bukan b, ah padahal tadi kan gue kepikiran a ah payah. Dan bla bla bla

And I always end up with nothing. Kenyataannya kan kita ga punya tombol undo tadi. Sejauh apapun kita menyesali pilihan yang udah kita ambil, kita tetep pada keadaan yang tadi kan.

Gue jadi inget sama apa yg Summer bilang di film 500 days of summer waktu dia sadar bahwa tom benar, bahwa sebenarnya, a such thing called fate or destiny itu ada. Bahwa sebenernya semua pilihan pilihan yang kita ambil, sekecil apapun, akan ada hasilnya nanti. Mirip sama apa yang gue tangkep dari buku Rembulan Tenggelan di Wajahmu karya Tere Liye.

Life's tough. Ada orang yang ketabrak mobil pukul 12 siang ketika nyebrang sampai kakinya patah. Kalo gue jadi orang itu mungkin gue akan sangat menyesal lewat jalan itu, ataupun nyebrang lewat situ yah pokonya gimana caranya biar ga ketabrak deh. Tapi who knows, di rumah sakit,ternyata orang itu ketemu perawat yang akan jadi istrinya sampe akhir hayatnya. It shows that everything is under-God-control,dan semuanya pasti ada hikmah nya. Misalnya aja orang itu ga lewat jalan itu, atau mobil yang nabrak ga lewat jam segitu, mungkin dia ga akan pernah ketemu sama jodohnya. Sekarang gue sendiri yang masih suka menyesali terus menerus perbuatan atau pilihan gue juga akhirnya sadar. Penyesalan itu bukan hanya datang belakangan, tapi tujuan penyesalan itu datang ya hanya untuk introspeksi diri. Kedepannya, sudah ada Allah yang mengatur jalan hidup kita. Jadi kayanya kita ga perlu deh menyesali sesuatu dengan berlarut larut.

"Life's tough and fair enough. There's no need such thing like time machine or undo button, mut."

This post is written by a good friend of mine, Muthia Khairunisa on her blog long time ago. Maybe 2 or 3 years ago. And without anyone knowing, I copy-paste this inspiring post on my laptop. Because I like her inspiring thought and her inspiring words. I have no idea that I will need this post to motivate me now #lifeisunpredictable Because believe it or not, I'm regretting something now.

And this post somehow helps me get through it. She's right. We don't have to regret anything that has already happened. It's no use. There's nothing we can do about it. We just need to learn from the mistakes we made in the past, promise ourselves not to do it anymore in the future and be brave enough to face the present. Don't ever be afraid because everything is-under-God-control. God knows what's best for us. Thanks to her I'm not afraid anymore.

Life is tough and fair enough. There's no need such thing like time machine or undo button, cha.


By the way it's her 18th birthday today! Send her a wish. @muthinisa :)

THINGS I INVEST IN 2017

I've been reading many articles that talk about investing in our twenties and why it's important for us as a human being. Those articles have opened my eyes that I, as a 21-year-old, have not invested so much. Fortunately I'm still in my early 20s tho, so I still have time to improve and invest more. And invest is not always about money. It's those simple things that will make you a better person for the years to come, like networking with people, volunteering, reading, learning new skill, etc. That's why my 2017 resolutions will be about some things to invest in me.  Attending workshops/seminars Through seminar I'll be able to explore, exchange thoughts and learn things from like-minded professionals. I'll be richer in knowledge and feeling inspired by the time I leave the event. Therefore, this year I'd like to start attending seminar/talkshow in the topic I like the most which are nature and wildlife. WWF Indonesia often held talkshows in...
