Ngl adult friendships require GRACE. People are very busy. People are HEALING. People are GROWING. People are taking time for SELF CARE just like you. Less communication isn’t less love. Check in don’t check out.

Adult friendships require grace. People are busy. People are working. People are parenting. People are burnt out. People are healing. People are fighting health battles. People are prioritizing their true responsibilities. Don’t mistake minimal communication for a lack of care or love. Some of us are just getting by and giving everything we have to our families. Check in before you check out.

Di Chinese new year ini, saya inget 1 quote yang bisa jadi reminder di hidup yang terlalu cepat ini adalah quote filsafat Cina, Taoisme, dari Lao Tzu, kurang lebih gini:

“Alam enggak tergesa. Tapi semuanya tetap selesai accomplished pada waktunya.”

Di tengah budaya hustle, lomba cepet-cepetan, ini ngingetin… Nggak perlu buru-buru, bukan berarti nggak bertumbuh. Nggak perlu memaksa, segala sesuatu yang dipaksakan seringkali nggak baik. Ada kebijaksanaan dalam ritme alami.

A Gen Z joined the team.

Day 2.

He was added to a work WhatsApp group.

Minutes later, he left.

HR followed up and said,
“WhatsApp is our official communication channel.”

Gen Z replied,
“I prefer email and official platforms.”
“WhatsApp is my personal space.”
“I’ll choose if and when I use it.”

The room went quiet.
- No disrespect.
- No drama.
- Just a boundary.

Someone whispered,
“That’s how we’ve always done it.”

Gen Z didn’t argue.

Later, a senior colleague said,
“You know refusing this can affect your job.”

Gen Z nodded.
Then said,
“I know it’s unhealthy.”
“That’s why I won’t normalize it.”

That’s when the team realized something.

When people say
“Gen Z is difficult,”
what they really mean is:

Gen Z watched the old generation
- stay online 24/7,
- answer messages at midnight,
- confuse availability with loyalty,
- and burn out quietly

because challenging it felt risky.

So Gen Z chose differently.
- They separate work from life.
- They document everything.
- They protect personal space.

They still deliver.
They just refuse silent exploitation.

It’s not rebellion.
It’s awareness.

Boss will see you online at 11.00PM,
Texts you : 'Please check email ASAP'

And the truth is:
Gen Zs are on a different operating system.

A therapist once told me:
The first sign of declining mental health isn't always a panic attack or sudden tears. It starts quietly.Waking up tired after hours of sleep.Gut issues. Low energy. Feeling lost. Struggling to fall asleep.Forgetting things. Hair loss. Skin flare-ups. Muscle aches.Pulling away from people.Arguing with the ones you love.Not being able to get out of bed.Watching friendships fade.Your body whispers before it screams. There's still time to listen.

Advice I got from my therapist today; If your mental health is starting to affect your physical health. Treat yourself like you're sick. Minimum of 24hrs to yourself. Nap as much as you can. Drink plenty of liquids. Catch up on movies you've wanted to watch. The world can wait.

Adult friendships require a lot of understanding. People go to work. People are busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self care just like you. Do not mistake less communication for less love.

I don't like the Spotify desktop app, it's so slow it's painful. Even albums that I have saved / downloaded, the app refuses to load them instantly, it's just unpleasant to use. What kind of incompetent management they have over there? I can't believe highly paid Europeans can be so bad at writing software

Belajar dari case Aureli, ajarkan ini ke anak, baik perempuan ataupun laki-laki:

"Ketertarikan seksual orang dewasa ke kamu itu bukan pujian, juga bukan karena kamu terlihat dewasa.

Itu menunjukkan gagalnya orang dewasa menjaga batas.

Dia yang problematic, bukan kamu"

Kenapa perlu disampaikan ke anak perempuan dan laki-laki?

Karena grooming bukan hanya terjadi pada anak perempuan. Anak laki-laki pun banyak yang jadi korban, tapi jarang dibahas secara terbuka.

Udalah rumah mereka dihancurin, mereka pula yang disuruh rapiin. Emang udah ga ada obatnya.

Kalo redenominasi rupiah benar2 terlaksanakan, orang2 Indonesia akhirnya bakalan paham maksudku pas bilang bahwa negara Barat kaya bukan karena "nilai tukar uangnya tinggi", tapi emang gaji / pendapatannya di sana umumnya gede

Lu mau pangkas rupiah jadi 1 USD = 1 IDR pun tak akan mengubah fakta tersebut; Gaji orang di Indo yang 3 juta rupiah per bulan ya bakalan jadi 300 USD, sementara orang di USA yang gajinya 4000 USD ya tetap gajinya segitu. Kujelasin ini ke orang tetap aja pada ga ngerti
