The Golden Birthday

A few days ago, it was already night and I was about to get a towel on the balcony. In front of me, there was something bizarre when I saw the sky, I thought that the sky color was not as dark as usual. The color was a little bit navy combined with dark purple or kind of. So I looked up at the sky and I was shocked when I saw a lot of stars, which was very rare. At that moment, I felt like I was on cloud nine. Didn't care about the towel, I sat on my balcony for like 5-10 minutes, stargazing. I couldn't believe that that little thing could make my heart content. Nevertheless, what I felt the most that time was... Grateful. Very grateful. For the time being, for the moment, for the stars in the sky, for the happy heart by seeing those stars, and most of all, for ... Life. 

I have read about what so people called as golden birthday, which is when you turn the same age as your birthday. Today I am getting 31 on the 31st. When I read about it, I anticipated this day and was curious about my achievements at this age. However, today when I reach that pace, I still have not achieved anything big (yet), but I am feeling very happy today. My heart is full of love, hopes, blessings, happiness, of contentment. 

To be honest, 2022 has been giving me good memories, and good times so far. I have experienced a lot of something interesting, I have spent a lot of good times that could energize me, I have a lot of ideas that I finally could make become real, I have some chances to realize my hidden potentials that are very pleasantful, most of all I have a big chance to finally meet people, to interact with people, friends, family, relatives even strangers after almost 2 years being socially distanced. 

Clearly, I have great great great times so far, even until this golden birthday moment. And i never take all of them for granted. I am very thankful for that.

Few weeks ago, I made an artwork with my best friends. It was actually a kind of fad artwork like we planned to make some art with the materials but it was unplanned to make this kind of art. It was goede. Turned out.... The artwork really represents me, myself. There were a lot of black color rather than the white. And it was decorated with a little touch of gold things in between. I saw it as my universe. The black ones were my weakness, the white ones were my strengths, and the gold color was my hidden gem, the hidden potential that somehow I haven't even realized that I have. For this golden birthday, I wish I could maximize the golden color things to minimize the black ones or even better turn out the black ones to become white. I wish I have the bravery to start the things that I have been scared of. I wish I could be helpful for the needs. I wish peace, for me, for so many people. 

Lastly, I actually have been creating something interesting. It really makes me stressed, and takes my free time but I love doing this big project. Seriously I can't wait until I can share it with the world. Hope it'll turn well 😉
