Mourning becomes something carried silently, woven into daily routines rather than openly felt.
Perhaps this is the unspoken burden of adulthood and of womanhood within it: grief does not disappear, but time to honor it does.
Is there a proper way, time, or moment for a mother or a wife to mourn? This question lingers quietly in the lives of many women who carry multiple roles while enduring personal loss. As an adult, a mother, and a wife, mourning does not occur in isolation.
Now, however, even that release feels inaccessible. No matter how heavy the sadness or how overwhelming the struggle, life rarely pauses. The pace is relentless, leaving little room to stop, reflect, or fully inhabit grief.
Apa kabar pasien-pasien rumah sakit yang lagi rawat inap di daerah terdampak bencana? Bayi bayi yang baru lahir, pasien yang harus menjalani operasi?
Belum lagi soal pendidikan, udah pasti para siswa kehilangan minimal satu semester, bisa jadi lebih kalo sekolahnya ancur..

This is actually a perfect example of a Chinese policy that could be copied everywhere around the world, and would dramatically improve hundreds of millions of lives.
The concept behind the "15-minute community life circle" (or "15-minute neighborhood") is that, if you live in a city, you should be able to access all essential daily services and facilities within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from your home.
It's especially aimed at helping families and elderly people (the 2 priority groups of the policy under the 一老一小 "one old one young" program). So these "15-minute neighborhoods" should have childcare facilities, after-school programs, safe play spaces, etc. for kids. And they should have social activities, health clinics, meal delivery services, etc. for the elderly. For the elderly, the official objective is that 90% of China's elderly in cities should be able to age at home (as opposed to being placed in nursing homes).
China is currently reorganizing all their cities around this concept and 118 million already live inside a "15-minute community life circle." In effect the goal is to make everyone living in those enormous Chinese cities feel like they live in a small village where everything is accessible by foot.
How is that not clearly an awesome policy? Anyone living in a city can relate: we all waste hours each week in traffic on basic errands, driving kids to their activities, etc. And if you have aging parents, you all know that at some point they won't be able to themselves drive around anymore - and then what happens?
Yet another reason why we should be studying China carefully: while we debate whether they're "authoritarian" or fight whatever pointless culture wars are currently happening, the questions they're asking themselves are what initiatives they can run to improve the daily lives of their people. Maybe studying them more would impress upon us that, at the end of the day, that's what governments are supposed to be for, no matter the label.
Why is this so real😭I know how hard an stressful working in a healthcare can be, dealing with lots of patients, but it won't hurt you to just be a little kinder especially with elders, a little guidance would do.
#WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines
"Mungkin tak ada yg namanya orang dewasa. Semua orang tampaknya hanya anak kecil."
When Life Gives You Tangerines jelas akan dikenang sebagai salah satu series terbaik yg pernah ada. Bukan sajian romance yg jualan derita, ini lebih ke slice of life humanis penuh life lessons berharga yg terasa membumi, dekat juga hangat di hati banyak orang dengan kualitas penceritaan, akting & skrip berada di level premium sehingga tak heran tonjokan emosinya begitu kuat yg membuat air mata selalu mengalir deras di tiap episode.
Nyeritain seorang anak perempuan yg menuturkan kembali kisah cinta kedua orang tuanya selama 50 tahun & bagaimana cara mereka membesarkannya serta adik laki-lakinya ditengah segala pahit manis kehidupan, series ini tak hanya soal anak perempuan pertama yg kesulitan ungkapin perasaannya ke orang tua, si bungsu yg merasa dianaktirikan karena tak sehebat kakaknya & orang tua yg berusaha lakukan yg terbaik untuk anak-anaknya dibalik ketidaksempurnaan mereka.
Tapi juga secara berimbang mengajak penontonnya memahami sudut pandang orang tua kala mengasuh anak-anaknya & perspektif anak mengenai cara orang tua memperlakukan mereka yg membuatku seketika memeluk ayah usai menontonnya sembari mengucap, "terima kasih sudah bekerja keras, bersabar & membesarkanku dengan baik."
Tiap makan all you can eat yg harus masak sendiri pasti ada:
1. Si pemasak utk semua
2. Si "Gausah pke nasi nanti kenyang"
3. Si penasaran gmn resto ga rugi
4. Si tangan kena kompor
