Not only is this moment historical, but the photo that @evanvucci took is also perfect.
The level of compositional mastery comes from over two decades of experience in the field and a sharpness that only comes from thousands and thousands of "reps."

@VeritasArdentur Shit. First time I heard of this too. I should probably get tested 😂
Although I really am mixed perhaps beyond clear definition at this point.
I'm a lunch-packing pro when it comes to my office grind. And don't even get me started on trying to fit in exercise...weekends are a rare luxury for that-gotta stay fit to keep up with the hustle!🍻
Ah, my life is basically a non-stop hustle from 9-4 and sometimes even into the night with my family business and small agency. But hey, I still find time to cook, usually in the early hours of the morning or late at night.
7-4 ngantor
Sore olahraga
Malam main game / nonton film
That's what we called "kehidupan monoton medioker dewasa yang menyenangkan".
Low key living my best life~
Putting in all that work for such minimal gains? No thanks. That's why we just let the rich folks handle it and hope they do better than just keeping up with inflation. It's a gamble we're willing to take, as long as they cut us in on their success.

MENJELANG TIDUR
Tuhan aku ingin pulang

Pulang = kosong.
Choose optimism
Around the age of twenty-two I realized that my worldview had been deeply imbued with pessimism and cynicism. It was the culture I grew up in. A hostility to new ideas, to anything that strays from the norm. An assumption that if things can go wrong, they will go wrong — that malice is pervasive.
One day, I decided to become an optimist and life became much more fun.
The life of a pessimist is easy but dreary. The life of an optimist is hard but exciting. Pessimism is easy because it costs nothing. Optimism is hard because it must be constantly reaffirmed. In the face of a hostile, cynical world, it takes effort to show that positivity has merit.
To be an optimist, adopt these assumptions:
1. The future can be great
2. People’s intentions are mostly good
3. Ideas are fragile and need nurturing
Every new idea is an unrealized dream. Dreams are delicate and easy to destroy. When an idea presents itself, try to imagine the best version of it — what would make this idea great?
Pessimism and optimism share a trait: both are self-fulfilling. Your intention influences the outcome. Call it karma or, simply, effort. I would rather inhabit a future that has the possibility of being great.
Only optimists can create a great future. Only optimists can imagine it. Only optimists will put in the effort to make it. If you want to create a great future, believe it can happen. Choose optimism.
