Nulis di Fase Hidup Paling Stress

 "di umur kita yang segini, energi mu banyak juga yas"

Tergantung. Di hal apa aku akan spend energi. Walaupun hal nya sama, sama-sama bikin musik original tapi tetep beda caranya, berapa banyak uang, niatnya kemana, effortnya, dll. Jadi responku, tergantung. Karena semua kegiatan juga butuh energi dan di umur segini, 30an? jelas energi kita masih banyak, we're not that old man! 

But at the end of the day, aku jadi sadar disitulah uniknya perbedaan POV haha, toh mereka tetap ku anggap teman. Bedanya sekarang lebih bisa filtering, kayak unbothered aja sama pendapat orang lain yang mungkin keluarnya juga asbun. So, energiku yang keliatannya banyak ini nggak gampang keambil.

Energi apa sih yang aku punya sekarang?

Aku menganggap hal-hal yang belum aku wujudkan bakal balik ke aku lagi. Masih penasaran. What if i nail it? What if it works out? So, i am no longer afraid.

Kenapa sih dulu nggak konsisten? Satu, karna ada kerjaan utama, energi, waktu, kebebasannya dibeli sama perusahaan pake gaji bulanan. Dua, api nya kadang besar kadang kecil. Belum ketemu lingkungan yang full supportive. Tiga, karena emang belum kenal konsep show up every day. Empat, males, banyak alasan dan sikap jelek lain. Ya intinya nggak konsisten aja.

But no regret, soalnya kalo dulu take any chances sampe capek ya bakalan tetep sakit juga. Dulu juga ada titik dimana aku sadar, mungkin aku terlalu serius, terlalu sering overthink makanya sakit. Ini udah tahun ke 4 aku sakit itu (IIH & SSD). Kayak nama memori nggak tuh, SSD. If you read this dan nggak tau itu apa. IIH itu idiopathic intracranial hypertension, itu tekanan di kepala, bukan hipertensi ya. Nah SSD itu sigmoid sinus diverticulum. Simplenya adalah di Agustus 2022, 6 bulan setelah aku berenti kerja di tambang batu bara, aku mengalami pulsatile tinnitus di kepala kanan. Dan penyebabnya adalah IIH dan SSD tadi. Itu adalah kondisi di mana ada penyempitan sekaligus pelebaran pembuluh darah di kepala kanan dekat telinga. Makanya gendang telinga yang kanan itu bisa dengan jelas dan secara continue mendengar aliran darahku. 

Apa hubungannya sama overthinking? Di kasus pulsatile tinnitus / PT ini memang beragam penyebabnya. Ada yang dari covid, jamur di kamar, skincare, benturan, stress, terus juga ada yang kena pt setelah salah satu keluarganya meninggal itu apa ya namanya, kayak gangguan dukacita berkepanjangan gitu. In my case, aku tau aku suka makan asin dari kecil dan sering mikir yang serius-serius soal masa depan. Jadi mostly aku nggak menikmati hidupku di umur 20an. 

Mungkin yaaa, mungkin aku disuruh lebih hidup, lebih santai, live in the moment gitu. That's why, dari semua keabstrakan itu, aku akhirnya milih untuk pindah ke Jawa Timur. Pikiranku ya weekdays bisa kerja, weekend explore tempat-tempat baru. Sekalian terapi karna aku milih tinggal di kota yang dingin. Dingin, bikin jantungku chill.  

Kenapa nggak operasi pasang ring? Resikonya lumayan tinggi. Mungkin aku bakalan nyelam lagi, siapa tau ada metode baru atau apapun itu untuk mengurangi IIH dan SSD nya. Yang paling penting, jangan stress. Masalahnya, sekarang aku di fase paling stress. Nggak ada kerjaan utama, explore jadi terhambat, bener-bener bukan yang aku mau. Argh!

Tahun 2026 beneran tahun struggling, sebagian besar WNI atau mungkin dunia. It's not a dead end, ofcourse! Bisa nggak ya jadi salah satu orang yang masuk di Top 50% dunia? Hehe

Concepting "New but Old" Thing

It's my second year in Malang. 2026 comes faster, i turn 32 this year. I remember when i started this blog in 2013, it's 13 years ago. Now i am still into writing but not too active. But the mood is coming again recently. I got a good vibe to write lyric again, maybe because it is my month? I am not expecting anything but to live my days calmly and of course with much of money, i hope.

Why "concepting new but old thing"? Yes, move to another city is always my dreams since i was 20s. But i let it stay for too long, i kept it in my mind. And also, for the other things from small to big ones. If the biggest one is done, then i need to do the rest now. It won't start easy but because it's been too long in my own head, i bet it would turn okay. All i need to do is start and to make it happen, i need to make it clear. Listing, making the big picture until the details, budget estimation. It will be more complex, but the road will seem clear. Of course, i have to keep it private for now since i know that telling our plan does not seem a good option. 

What i am doing right now? 
Survive, yes, i might not seem like a hard worker. I used to work with thinking and creativity, but the working hard never be my work style or i will do it quietly. So, no one can see that part from me. And the second is doing my therapy. I am still on my medication. Living in this city really helps me to do that. While i am following the free tips from Liam, i am going to continue my income survival and then i will complete the course, i hope so. Those two things are my priority, wealth and health. What about love? It's okay, it will follow.

Hi Ty!

Hi Ty, iam typing to you, myself, i might read this again tomorrow or 3 months later or 1 year later. I am tired now, been using my headset for 3 hours ago to block the room owner's voice. They are so noisy in the morning especially at the weekend. I want to write this because why not?! No one knows where i live right now. Every time i feel like something ruins my privacy, i have to make a decision. Wait, i have to use my headset again, they're so annoying. Listening to Linkin Park should be best for now. 

I am questioning myself as a renter "is my privacy allowed to be annoyed?" I mean in all contexts. So, i need to filter more for my live place. Is it always involving money? Yes, but i don't know how much i can gain in short time. If i have to move, it should be at the same price or better than this. Too many options here but for the best are always full booked or rented already. The ideal one is to get a 1-bedroom apartment (haha). 

I am busy with Planner5D nowadays. Trying to visualize my ideal house picture. I am going to update soon as i finish the design. I also trying to walk the talk. I don't have small target, only the big things left, but even the big one has to be started from the small one. Sleeping habits, workout routine, healthy eat, and so on. I realize that why is adult's life is so tricky and tiring. But actually, i can make it simpler. We can always choose what to do, to do what i love, to do what i can. And remember to work hard, play hard. Seems it has to be 50:50. Balance. 

Some says it's forbidden to talk about your plans. Well, i have nothing to lose. So, it's better to talk about the achievements? 

  1. I moved alone (not my first time) but this one is the most far from home
  2. I get to know my real self, how i react to any situations including to control all of my emotional conditions
  3. Think simpler and efficient 
  4. Finally understand that i love to live alone, all in my control
I am wondering if i have a starting point like this, let's say from zero.. what should i do to make it better? Better as i can live to the fullest. Try this and that, visit here and there. Time and money freedom. I know it and only me who knows how to achieve that. And finally, here's my talk again. I just want to re-read this one day if i finally cross-over my big list. See you on top!

DND - My Latest Single

'DND' is out now. Terus terang, lagu ini kutulis sebagai refleksi diri dalam hubungan yang sudah di ujung tanduk. Emosi campur aduk, pergi dari rumah, diusir secara tidak langsung. Lagu ini juga cermin diri yang mengalami emosi tidak stabil. Bisa jadi terinspirasi dari pernikahan muda yang tidak bisa dipertahankan. Bisa, tapi ego.  

Pesan dari lagu ini sebenarnya adalah introspeksi diri dari semua keributan yang terjadi di dalam sebuah hubungan. "I need to fix things up for a while now". 

Perdebatan tak berujung itu bisa dihentikan dengan 1 prinsip hidup "life is too short to just argue". Hidup sementara, sedih sementara, senang sementara, kenapa kamu buat semua nya jadi menyedihkan? Semuanya pasti baik-baik saja kalau kita membuka mata, diam, dan menerima. Bagaimanapun DND adalah tentang menarik diri dari keributan, menyendiri, mengalihkan pikiran, nggak baca notif di handphone. DND adalah hak kita semua. Dan semoga di setiap kesendirian yang kita pilih, nggak akan pernah tumbuh benci tapi penerimaan. That's life.

Satu lagi anakku, 'DND'. A journey to be a better self.

Artwork, Video Lyrics, Chords - 'Terbentuk'


Tidak ada benchmark dalam concepting dan releasing sebuah single. Sampai hari ini juga saya masih 'sesuka' hati. Sudah 1 minggu sejak rilis, Terbentuk tidak punya press release, berbeda dari single sebelumnya. Saya sadar, siapa lagi yang akan membahas kalau bukan saya sendiri? I made song for myself. Prinsip itu juga yang membuat rilisan ini tidak berpatokan. Hobi lama saya tiba-tiba muncul, tapi kekuatan untuk mengetik hampir pudar. Blog ini adalah salah satu safe place saya ketika saya sedang tidak memiliki kepercayaan diri untuk membuang 'sampah' ke manusia lain. Atau dengan kata lain, saya sedang menyendiri. Orang-orang asing yang butuh bacaan bisa saja menemukan saya lewat tulisan random saya di blog ini, setidaknya tidak akan ada kekecewaan personal atau harapan apapun yang tumbuh setelah dari sini.

Keluar dari opening yang sangat random, saya memakai foto rontgen kepala saya untuk artwork Terbentuk. Itu adalah hal paling personal yang pernah saya perlihatkan. Tidak akan ada yang tahu, saya hanya memberi tahu diri saya di masa depan kalau-kalau nanti saya lupa ingatan. Karena setelah melakukan DSA (digital substraction angiography) (Jun-2024) saya mengalami hilang ingatan singkat atau kesulitan mengingat kejadian jangka pendek. Mungkin efek obat-obatannya juga.

Tyas Alfisa - 'Terbentuk' Artwork


Terbentuk berisi sudut pandang dari 2 arah, orang pertama terhadap dirinya sendiri dan orang pertama ke arah orang kedua. Sangat sulit untuk memisahkan maknanya dan sebenarnya setiap orang akan memiliki persepsi berbeda di setiap lagu. Lalu, apalagi ?

Terbentuk - Spotify

Terbentuk adalah hasil perenungan dan kesadaran diri setelah 30 tahun, mengganti prioritas hidup secara dadakan. Sebenarnya sangat membuat sakit kepala saat sadar orang-orang yang kita prioritaskan selama ini tidak melakukan sebaliknya atau minimal mendengarkan pendapat kita. Kekecewaan itu wajar. Dan berhenti kecewa adalah yang paling berat dilakukan. Karena semua sign yang muncul selama ini sering diabaikan. Tidak berani sakit hati, tidak berani kecewa, memilih untuk memprioritaskan dan membantu selama 10 tahun ini itu adalah tetap pilihan hidup. Tapi saat kita memposisikan diri sebagai orang lain yang tidak punya banyak pilihan.. kita tidak bisa merasa begitu kecewa dan begitu tersakiti. Kurang lebihnya seperti itu. Pada akhirnya, prioritas hidup hanyalah pergantian objek. Kekecewaan akan terus muncul di akhir jika pola yang diterapkan adalah sama. Tidak bisa menghakimi, lalu mengalir begitu saja.

Terbentuk sudah tersedia di berbagai platform musik digital. Di produseri dan aransemen oleh An. Di tulis oleh Tyas Alfisa.

Jalan yang berlubang dan terik

Kau tlah cukup lelah berlari

Tak berhak aku menghakimi

Perihnya, sakitnya

Terbentur, terluka, terbentuk

Kau tlah cukup lelah berlari

Balikpapan, Indonesia – Singer-songwriter Tyas Alfisa is set to release her latest single, “Everything’s Changing,” in June 2025, marking a bold new direction in her musical journey. The track is a collaboration with Aan — known by his artist name Symptom — a musician and producer based in Tarakan, Indonesia.

Known for her warm, introspective voice and gentle delivery, Tyas Alfisa explores a more daring and dynamic sound in “Everything’s Changing.” The song presents a contrast to her previous work, showcasing a bolder, braver energy while still retaining the emotional depth her listeners have come to love.

“I wanted to show a different side of my musical taste with this one,” says Tyas. “This collaboration with Aan allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone. I’m so grateful working with him and finally released this song after 7 years”

The track features lyrics written by Tyas Alfisa and CAS the Poet who also lends her voice to the song’s spoken-word part. Aan, who composed and produced the track, contributes vocals in the form of a powerful scream part — emphasizing the emotional intensity of the song.

With its unique blend of introspective lyricism and expressive instrumentation, “Everything’s Changing” is a sonic representation of transformation, both personal and artistic.

341. Warkop Penentu Hidup

 'Warkop penentu hidup', julukan yang kuberikan secara singkat kepada salah satu warkop di seberang stasiun kereta api. Nama warkop itu aslinya adalah Warkop Sri Rejeki 88. Berada di pertigaan jalan menuju kampung warna warni. Lalu lintasnya ramai, terkadang suara kereta api yang tiba dan berangkat, dan cicitan peluit tukang parkir lalu tentu suara knalpot kendaraan. Hari ini aku mampir lagi, karena lalapan ikannya murah. Semenjak long trip, aku jadi jarang makan ikan laut. Padahal selama ini tumbuh besar setiap hari makan ikan sungai dan saat pindah ke Balikpapan, setiap hari makan ikan laut. 

Jadi, kenapa 'warkop penentu hidup'? Warkop ini adalah tempat singgahku saat aku trip dari Surabaya ke Malang. Di awal bulan Februari lalu, setelah check out dari guesthouse di daerah Sawojajar, aku mengalami dilemma yang cukup berat. Antara mengakhiri trip ini, kembali ke Balikpapan atau melanjutkan untuk bertahan dengan pegangan yang cukup untuk 1-2 bulan kedepan. 

Dengan keadaan ramai jalan, cocok dengan isi kepalaku yang membuat pening. Cukup lama aku duduk disana. Setelah sebelumnya mencoba melakukan panggilan ke salah satu teman baikku. "Satu bulan rasanya ngga akan terlalu lama yas, ini yang kamu mau selama ini kan?"

Sungguh tidak ada hal apapun yang mengurungkan niatku. Yang kulakukan hanyalah bepergian di ujung usia 30 ku. Tepat beberapa minggu sebelum ulang tahun ke 31, aku berangkat. Banyak yang kutanggalkan sebelumnya. Pikiran-pikiran, prioritasku ku ubah, bahkan menjual gitar akustik kesayangan dan handphone impian. Wajar kalau sesampainya disini.. aku merasa 'ringan' namun 'kosong'. Tapi kalau di lihat lagi, seharusnya yang kurasakan adalah 'lega' dan 'bebas'. 

Kalau diingat-ingat lagi, yang terjadi saat itu adalah hasil dari doa dan impianku selama ini. 'Solo trip'. Hahaha ternyata melakukannya terlambat juga nggak buruk buruk amat. Pasti ada jalan yang sudah disiapkan untukku sampai di titik itu. Tapi semua berawal sejak aku mengalami Pulsatile Tinnitus. Tahun lalu aku habiskan untuk pengobatan rutin, sudah banyak yang aku coba dan aku merasa semakin naik level. Semakin tau apa yang baik dan yang mempercepat kesembuhanku. Tepat Oktober 2024 aku berhenti pengobatan medis dan melanjutkan terapi personal dan trip tahun ini adalah salah satu terapiku. 

Setelah istirahat beberapa jam di warkop itu, aku menuju ke kos yang kupilih untuk stay selama 1 bulan. Itu adalah keputusan tepat, memulai semuanya lagi.

340. Mix Sate Ayam dan Kambing di Night Market Pasar Besar

Night market atau pasar malam di Pasar Besar adalah salah satu tempat yang lumayan ramai dikunjungi warga. setiap harinya. Mulai dari warga lokal atau pun bule dari berbagai negara. Yah, walaupun aku nggak tau asal mereka tapi setiap melewati atau mampir ke pasar malam ini, selalu ada bule bule juga. Mostly, orang akan berkunjung untuk kuliner dan permainan anak. Bagiku, lontong kupang akan selalu jadi pengingat karena itu adalah pertama kalinya aku mencoba lontong kupang. 17 ribu untuk 1 porsi dan mantap rasanya. Lalu ada cilok bakar, lumpur kentang, jasuke, dimsum, siomay-batagor, dan banyak lainnya. 

Dan lebaran haji kemarin, setelah isya' aku sempat keliling mencari sate kambing dari mulai sepanjang jalan dekat kost, lalu berbelok ke daerah stasiun Kota Lama, Alun-alun Kota, daerah Gajah Mada dan akhirnya ketemu di pasar malam itu juga. 

Persisnya malam kemarin, cukup ramai. Sepertinya setiap hari akan ramai orang berkunjung. Kebahagiaan sederhana bagi keluarga kecil ataupun yang masih single. Bebas. Kenapa sate kambing ? Biar ada vibes lebaran idul Adha nya gitu deh. Hehe.

"Bu sate kambingnya berapa 1 porsi?"

"25 ribu mba"

"Boleh campur nggak bu ayam sama kambing, masing-masing lima?"

"Boleh mba, ditunggu sebentar nggih"

Dengan logat dan bahasa Jawa warga lokal, aku seringnya hanya mengangguk dan senyum lalu membalas dengan bahasa Indonesia. Sebenarnya aku sudah paham beberapa kata bahasa Jawa, tapi belum terbiasa. Aku sempat menelusuri pasar ini sebelum makan sate di tempat. Ini mungkin ke-4 kalinya aku mampir di pasar ini. Aku yang terbiasa jalan lurus memandang ke depan, selama tahun 2025 ini mencoba untuk sadar sekitar dan memperhatikan apa yang ada di kanan dan kiri jalan. Jadi otakku akan terlatih lagi mengingat peristiwa atau vibes sekitar. 

Setelah berkeliling dan menyaksikan sekilas anak-anak dan orang tuanya bermain, lalu juga ada pasangan bule yang penasaran dengan lapak onde-onde yang baru saja aku beli, mereka tersenyum malu dan memutuskan untuk membeli juga, lagu aku kembali ke lapak sate tadi. 

"Bu nasinya kebanyakan"

Sate 10 tusuk akan selalu sangat mengenyangkan bagiku. Karna kalau di rumah biasanya, dibagi masing-masing 5 tusuk, itu menjadi kebiasaan. Jadi, mengurangi porsi nasi adalah tips biar nggak mubazir. Makan selesai, minumnya kali ini aku bawa tumbler air putih sendiri dari kost. Ini adalah hari ke 5 aku diet kafein dan dairy, mengulang hitungan kembali, untuk melihat progress metode Liam yang kuikuti untuk pengobatan Pulsatile Tinnitusku. Bulan Mei kemarin cukup bandel karena beberapa kali beli kopi dan teh.

Aku lalu berselancar sejenak di google untuk mencari toko aksesoris terdekat dan aku menemukan Malang Caroline, grosir aksesoris yang nggak jauh dari stasiun kota lama. Setengah jam menjelang tutup aku menyempatkan diri pergi kesana, tapi sayangnya nggak menemukan yang aku cari. Lalu, aku kembali lagi menembus sejuknya malam kota ini, beruntung sweater rajut hitamku bisa sangat baik menahan angin saat berkendara.

339. December & The New Perspective

This is me writing to my other self.

My circle is smaller now. As we getting older and older, no one care. No one care about us. The progress is always in silence. But when the results come up, yeah people/strangers will congratulate. It is funny and dumb. As we are getting older, expect less is better. It made days easier, right? So, do not expect a standing ovation. Nope! What i am doing lately is do what i want, action or silence, it is up to me. I've been losing many friends because yes, we're busy with our life but i do not want to share my problems when i see my friends again. Silence taught us much. But do you know ty? Your mind is soooo full and messy. This one person is like my twin. We are all have other sides, my sides. There is so many me in me. 

Am i always talking like this the whole my life? I don't wanna check it out right now. I can't believe it already 339th entries in here! I just want to update this side of me. She's writing right now, the positive version of myself, the optimistic, early bird, calm, motivated. 

So, what have motivated me recently? 

I've sold my acoustic guitar, it was a difficult decision, so now i have to use my electric guitar efficiently. And it's always my dream to upgrade my electric guitar skill, i've always talked about that but a little action. Now, i can focus on that first. I can't multitask. Seriously. Even in a relationship, i need my own space and my time alone. 

When i play my guitar, play the new songs on the internet, it's like it fills my heart, my body, it boosts me. I just realize it again now. So, my happiness will come up again with this thought. The point is talk and act. For me, i've been talked much with myself and the action sometimes happened just like that without many factors, i just did it. This is how my mind works. Like the subconscious. By the way, i will do 30 days guitar challenge in my instagram and youtube channel. To the future ty, i hope this will work for us.

338. Silenced Me

they silenced me again

many times

my thought has been skipped

by my people


my way is foggy and cold

not trying to be so dramatic

but the reality of life and a person's burdens are definitely different

if it happens continuously, it will shape you into another self


at the end of the day, I will still be alone

I don't need to beg just to have a good chat

to the person who has always been in my mind and heart

maybe I've just made the wrong choice all this time


but maybe that's my way so I'm like this now

I've had enough people silencing me, I can hear my own complaints

or some people or this one person, that's more than enough

337. First of ALL :)

I understand, what is important is how I respond to the situation around me. Not running away. Even if the reason is to make my dreams come true, I have to change something that has been bad for me. changing life priorities is not an easy thing for me. letting go of the things that have made me enthusiastic about living my days... it seems dramatic but it's even sadder if I keep delaying doing everything for myself. Therefore, starting today I will do whatever I like, what I want, what I can.

First of all, changing the mindset. Choose to be happy, smile more and not feeling bad about myself is the first things to do. I believe when i have source from myself. It is enough to live the rest of my days. Wherever i go, whenever it is, i can do it and i am open to any opportunities. What i've learned in 30 years of my age is not that really difficult, Alhamdulillah. Mentally, i still have a doubt, of course everyone has it but it's the time to go.

336. Makeup & Skincare

Itch on my belly
I did not know where it is come from
But red dots a bit bothers me

Use makeup and skincare
Repurchase
Sleep, eat, pray, prepare to work
Repeat
New routine, adapting
New faces, classic conversation

Sunny days, hot
Windy nights, cold
Blue top and bottom
Trouble sleeping

Life is about balancing
Life is about reacting
So until then
I am going to be fine

Until then
I don't have to use any makeups
And we won't be overthink about anything
But our future is a reflection
Of what we're doing right now

Saturday, October 26, 2024

335. Life isn't not only about it

I know life is not only about that

But why am i so selfish?

It is about survive

It is about live in the moment but also think about the future

It is about many things 

Sometimes we talk about religion too

Sometimes we talk about our habits

Sometimes we talk about our sickness

It is a wide and wild thoughts of life

It is not simple even though we like something simple

We like simplicity, we like clean room, minimalist space

But we are not simple

We are complicated

The first minute fine, then the next minutes we are not fine

Heavy mood swing

Just live because we are alive

I don't know what's happening but i think this is me now

Confuse, lonely, i cannot find happiness

But somehow i understand that i have to create it to keep alive

Create my own happiness and no matter what happen.. that formula will not be affected at all

Everyone's struggling

There is no parameter, there is no level in this case

But i believe by the time.. Everyone always have their own choices

I become more sad if i cannot help others.

334. Routine Changes

Now i see how many entries I've been published here, 333 is not a joke. Writing is still healing for me and even if i have someone to lean on and as my safe place, but this blog will always be a part of me. I can't fully leave my writing habits since i am not easy to remember anything. So, it's been 14 months and still counting, i hope i get recover ASAP. It was easier for me to think about my goals 3 or 5 years ahead but for the next 1 year i only want to do one thing and consistently. Working again.

Usually, i only have a big picture but now i want it more details but still simple. I don't want to put a burden on my shoulder, and it worked now. It's obvious that i was tired but when i look previously 1 year of medication, it was like a bonus, i took a long break. It was a big decision ever. Routine changes, minimum activities, new people, let go of people, let go of many things, sleep and eat routine changes, etc. I know it's not like i ever imagine in my younger years but i know people out there is struggling much more than me. So, i am fine.. i will be fine. For the good things, it won't be easy. 

So this, like a reminder. Something to look back again in the future, something to remember that life is not that easy but worth to fight. All we can do is do the best. The purpose is to help so i have to help myself first. Through this post, i want to show that i am grateful. So many ups and downs without telling my people how it was but here we are with our own feet.

She? Me

her words are sweet

her words are weed

the existence makes me wonder

it is real, but messy

uncontrollable

it is bold

but it chokes me

should i run away?

should i stay?

i am overwhelmed

by these feelings

should i feel nice

why then i feel bad

i feel useless

but she doesn't like it

i let my feelings haunts me bad

i cannot smile

i cannot eat

if she lives in me

i will let her out this time

Sep, 12th 2024

I hope, writing is still my healing
Writing in this page, writing to you
I am enough to understand the situation
But what i value to myself is on my control
Not from outsiders

30 years enough to be selfish
I did everything when i was aware
I help and i initiate.. because i want it
It supposed to be like that on my side
It was not your force
It was pure my dedication
But if the feedback is not good enough now
I will accept it
No matter what, it was my decision

I have to visit some places in this city before i leave
I am used to moving since i was a kid tho
So it will be easier to learn and adapt in the new places
I hope so
It is in my dreams
I have to pursue it
I don't know where to go but with myself i believe
I know what's the right path for me
To live in my own happiness
To help myself first
And to live with no regrets anymore

I Can't Believe It

When your doctor said "this is not a life-threatening illness" it means you as a patient have to adapt and accept your pain every day or forever? Am i wrong? I just need help to cure my pain. It is been a year since August 2023. I don't whether Covid that causing it, or my motobike accident in 2013 or anomaly since i was a kid. If the doctors are confused, then what should we do as a patient ?

This is not a life-threatening illness but make me want to die. It annoys me every single day, every single hour and minutes. I can't sleep well, i can't rest i can't do normal activities as much as i want. I have been patiently, optimistically, waiting for me meeting the right doctor. Now it's been 3 months with the right hands but i don't see any changes. What should i do? Am i not allowed to be sad, mad, frustrate, depressed. Should i be fake happy? I've been there.. I tried to act normal so no one ask about my condition, even my family. No one ask. I have some strangers in my life who cares about me. Sometimes it's both make me happy and sad. 

I have talk to them who is cured. They're so kind, telling me what to do since the first screening. It is not easy to get here today. I have to meet several doctors, i have to accept their words that they want me to adapt with my illness. "It is just a sound of your blood flow, so what can we do?" Damnit.

I've been so patient, i've mad, i've cried, i've tried to do normal stuff like normal people without a rare disease. I avoid toxic people, toxic positivity, fake cares, i just avoid fake people that make my life heavier. It is one of stress relieving. It is a way of medication too. 

But i am just tired. Not like i am not being grateful. It is a pure human feeling, and it is my rights to cry or sad or mad. It is my rights to search the cure.

Single Baru! Minggu Ke2 September '24

What's up?

Don't let dreams just be dreams, lagu pertama yang berhasil kutulis tahun 2017. Yeap, 7 tahun berlalu, banyak yang ku pelajari dari songwriting, music production, mengerucutkan dan membentuk standard supaya tidak terlalu lebar. It helps me a lot. Ini juga termasuk progress besar-besaran yang aku lakuin akhir-akhir ini. Selain fokus medication, survive with wfh job, aku nggak pernah stop bikin musik. Banyak hal yang gagal tapi lebih enak kalo mereview yang berhasil. Itu nggak selalu tentang uang kan?! So, first skill unlocked, secondly.. i am still doing this, music and writing. 

Don't let dreams just be dreams terinspirasi dari film Sing Street. Punya nuansa happy sad dan pilihan chord yang simple dan lirik yang jujur. Lagu ini sebenarnya sudah sering dibawakan secara offline di beberapa panggung gigs lokal di Balikpapan. Bukan lagu yang banyak emosi, lebih cocok didengar saat bepergian, driving if you drive a car, because i am not haha

Don't let dreams just be dreams akan tersedia di berbagai platform musik digital di minggu kedua September 2024. Sebagai jejak dari proses pembuatannya, aku akan update di blog ini rutin, just for myself in the future. Kali ini artwork dikerjakan oleh artist asal Balikpapan juga, ipn.dd. So brilliant!

Mind & The City 2024

I maybe forgot about the topic Mind & The City. But i am here now to write another episode of that. So.. how are you doing ? I hope everything's going well.

I don't know to whom i talk to in this blog. But i believe each year my visitors coming from different phases of my life. Well, i am 30 years old now. I can't imagine how happy i am now that Allah still give me chance so i can be a better version of myself from the past. 

Not like what i've thought in the past, when i was in my 20's.. i was too afraid to turn 30. 
"How it will be ?"
"Will i be successful?"

The fact that i am a thinker, yes, i am a Pisces and my MBTI is INTJ. How can i don't think about my future? 

It turns out enjoyable, even if i know i am not that successful the way people think, by based on my standard, i already got what i wanted all these times. Those recording tools, music stuff, skills that I've learned and still learning... 

I have no full time job right now, it is been a half of year.
But I am now a freelancer (smiling) :) :) :)
The long waiting all this time,
the submissions, the sign ups in every platforms
finally, one of them give me a chance to feel how it's like to be a freelancer.
it is just started in February this year (2024), but i already got clients from Ireland, UK, Singapore, Indonesia and USA.
