Untukmu yang Patah Setelah Menghadapi Masalah, Bertahanlah

The last few days, I was interested with Kamantara.id, an user-generated content (UGC) website, focusing on self-wellness. I knew this site from my junior, Nisrina, who wrote there before.

As an UGC website, of course I receive nothing for the article. However, I am happy enough to know that my article finally publish in media and see how perhaps, it gives impact to people. 😙

I know the topic is quite lame, but trust me, I had an urge to write this as a healing process for what happened lately. Trust me, I have been struggling for a year, and I think, I deserve to pour my feeling about this. So, here it is.. the English version of the article, which published on http: //tinyurl.com/ybfkbnlq/ last June 7, 2017.

(Honestly, I got troubled when trying to post this twice, but in the end, I was surprised when the article finally publish, even became the editor's pick! Until now, June 10, 2017, it is read by 1.9K readers. Yay!)

Untukmu yang Patah Setelah Menghadapi Masalah, Bertahanlah

Have you ever feel that your life is going well until suddenly.. BLAR! Problem suddenly comes. Once, or even perhaps, for many times until your life ravaged. 

Hold on.

Perhaps you are searching for the problem solving. Perhaps you are facing it bravely. Perhaps the problem is even solving. However, you feel that something wrong inside. Broken. Not feeling enthusiast to do something anymore and you lost your prior smile, unconsciously. 

Hold on.

Because it needs a huge courage, a modesty to realize and accept that, "Yes, I am not in the good condition." Until finally, you can say to your own heart that, "I am okay, just a little bit.. hurt. But I am okay."

Hold on.

Because not everyone are blessed with the same ability to face problem. Not all of them have the same pace to rise from trouble. They can easily and fast running, or like what you are doing now, hobbled to forgive, let go off and forget this problem.

Hold on.

It is okay if you want to pull over momentarily, as a compensation of your courage to face problem, as a rest period because you are tired. But how long do you want to continue to feel sorry for yourself?

Hold on.

Go see the world, meet new people, listen to music, read books, do everything that please you. Because it is easier to keep running and find your strength after you are trying to move back and change yourself. Do not stop. Believe that everything will be alright and you will find your smile again, later.

Just hold on.
