2019 akan tutup waktu. This year had been a lot of things: humbling, elating, upsetting, overwhelming — sometimes all at the same time. As you’re probably familiar with, there’s a pretty big chance that it won’t be relevant to your own lives, but if it somehow amuses you, read on: 2019 seems like as a humongous bag of lessons, and this post is a peek inside.

  1. Confidence: A New Medium to Braindance

I started work for Haluan Riau in April 2019. We have had an insane amount of fun. While I loved the space that writing had provided for my ideas, it is pretty exhilarating to be able to share my thoughts to a significantly larger audience just by switching the medium.

2. Fulfillment: a generous team and stage to interview more inspiring people

Dari sekian banyak narasumber, the pinnacle was this one. I am deeply thankful to interview Zamzami as the one coffee shop owner who has an awareness about environment. Above anything else, what I always look forward to is when, at the end of content, my audience snuck up and learned something new. That specific moment made it all worth it.

This relationship easier and harder at the same time. However, I am grateful for all the love that I received throughout 2019. From the daily dose of companionship and understanding from him even from far far away, thank you for pouring me with your love.

This year had partly been about making peace with the fact that I could not always pleasing everyone. At the same time, it is also a year of doing my best to be a good leader, sister, daughter, friend and partner for my dearest Ring 1.

Here to see more achievement in 2020. See ya!
