Be Yourself and Stay Unique


by: Nala Zakina

Being a woman born in a patriarchal environment is not easy. But that's not a reason to give up and give in to the situation. We must have strong internal and external motivation for adjustment. We are not able to control external factors or the environment around us. But we can control ourselves in responding to it.

Those who have a 'why' to live, can endure almost any 'how'.

           - Imaz 

When we are able to accept ourselves as a whole, we will not be afraid to support ourselves. It doesn't matter who goes. Don't expect empathy from others. And it doesn't matter if they like us or don't like us. Because we just enjoy life and fall in love with what we do every day. Stay the best version of yourself and don't compete with anyone.

Now is not the time to compare.

We are fully aware that weaknesses and strengths are inherent in humans. Therefore, the best focus is not on the shortcomings that we cannot change, but on the advantages or potentials that we can still optimize.

Women are often more emotional than men. But women who are adept at involving emotions will be able to be more rational in making decisions than men. This kind of ability is only possessed by those who are willing to grow and learn from life. Their respect and self-confidence is the principle of all their actions.

A woman who knows where her destination is going will not be easily influenced by something that is of no value. Women realize that she has full control and responsibility over every decision and their life. Women will always strive for themselves to be good, honorable, and educated individuals.

One of the most important things in this world is how we see ourselves. Don't listen to other people, because you are enough and worthy. Women need to have inner and outer peace. Keep your mind positive, because your thoughts will become your actions. You may be tired but don't give up.

So girls, do what makes you happy as long as it is with positive intentions. Pursue your goals and dreams. Dive into what your hobbies are. Have a soft side and a firm side as a foundation for self-respect. If we are able to take advantage of the time and opportunities that God has given us, then we won't have time to take care of other people's lives.

Good Damage: Justifying the Trauma, Does it All Happen for a Reason?

  by: Rebecca Karenia “All the damage I got isn't good damage.. it's just.. damage. I haven't got nothing out of it and all those years I was miserable was for nothing.” The quote you see above was taken from Diane's monologue from the show Bojack Horseman. The character Diane Nguyen, a 40 year old aspiring writer, was contemplating whether she should continue writing her first book or stop altogether since it does not serve any purpose to all the hardships and trauma she went through. Sounds familiar? Let's dive deep into it! Oftentimes you may find yourself thinking that the trauma you’ve gone through in the past, happens to you for a reason. It must’ve happened with a purpose, right? And so in order to serve this purpose, you forge strength and resilience to become someone different- someone who learned from their mistakes. Someone who knows better about the truth and harshness of the real world. You define your own suffering and give it a whole new meaning so th

Finding the Freedom in Feeling Left Behind

by: Ilma Rosyidah Everyone has their own timeline. But the feeling of being left behind becomes uncontrollable when everyone else seems to be reaching another stage in life while you still don’t know what to do. Feeling left behind in some ways can lead you to lose your freedom.    The days go by so fast before you might even notice your New Year’s resolutions still showing no progress. At the same time, the idea of breaking the distance through technology makes you easily exposed to everybody’s life, even the ones you don't really know. You see beautiful pictures and various achievements that other people have. Then when you look in the mirror, you start to second guess your worth. “Mirror mirror on the wall, I guess I am worse than everyone else because they are doing better in life ,” you might hear.  I think I was in yesterday 'Cause everybody walks too fast -My Time, by Jungkook BTS- Your friend is attending college while reality is holding you back to do the same.
