On Turning 25; And Being Too Old for Leo Dicaprio

Hi there, readers (wow serasa ada banyak ya 🤪). I just turned 25. A quarter life—if God permits I could reach 100 years old. And why am I too old for Leo Dicaprio? I’ll tell you later.

This year's birthday cake

Just like my post last year, I want to share my contemplations in life. This time I want to write it slowly. I start to write this on the 30th of April around 9 pm. We’ll see when will the post be uploaded. Here we go.

A little intermezzo before the contemplations.. I celebrated my birthday at Resto Apung Muara Angke to eat seafoods with families from Bekasi. One is from Dad’s, another one is from Mom’s family. Keduanya pernah kutumpangi beberapa waktu ketika awal aku berkarier di Jakarta 🤭 Of course heart is full because we prayed together, for me ❤

First and foremost, on living alone!! I’ve always wanted to live by myself as I have lived with my parents, in the same city, even the same house for 20++ years. I want to experience something new. Will I survive on living alone? How much of the “living fee” I could afford? How much money I could save & invest? Would I care enough about my daily intake?

I’ve been living by myself for 2 months now. So many things I learned. I can survive!! Hidup sendiri cukup enjoyable, meski sering ngerasa sepi. Thus I spent most of my weekends outside of the dorm. I refused to feel lonely 😜 Glad I always have friends to accompany me. Baru tahu juga kalau harga dan standar untuk hidup tuh “segitu” yaaa. Fortunately, I can save half of my salary 🤑 Aku makan teratur, meski ga rutin sayur dan buah (yes I should do better).

On family,
Not many differences compared to last year’s condition.

On lover,
I started to meet someone 🥰

Then, I failed miserably 🤭

Don't let your offspring knows your chaotic love story that you've experienced

On friendship,
I didn’t have any new friends so I’m grateful for those that still stick with me now. ❤

On job,
I changed my job for several reasons. Many differences from my previous work experiences. Currently adapting and accepting things as what it is.

On finance,
I reached the amount I set up last year! Tapi udah berkurang lg karena abis beli gadget hahahaha *cries in money loss*

And why am I too old for Leo Dicaprio? Not because I’m a fan, or I want to be with him (the audacity!) It’s because, reportedly, Leonardo Dicaprio always dates a girl that is half his age (younger). And mostly under 25 years. Someone even made the graphic of it! And designed the cake. Lucu aja sih sebutannya, “Too Old For Leo Dicaprio”, hence my post title!

The Graphic

Thats all for now. Thanks for your attention 🤩
