there will come a time when you no longer know the difference between who you are and what you’ve been through. as strange as it is, my turn has just begun.

Saat masih kuliah di UGM, saya mendengar kabar seorang diplomat muda Indonesia di London berani tampil di BBC World Debate, berhadapan dgn diplomat senior Ramos Horta, di saat atmosfer internasional sedang menyudutkan Indonesia. Diplomat muda Indonesia itu tampil gemilang menjaga nama Indonesia tegak berwibawa. Di situlah pertama kali saya mendengar namanya: @dinopattidjalal.

Beberapa tahun kemudian, saat sedang menempuh progam PhD di Illinois, kami berjumpa langsung. Dino datang ke Chicago menjelaskan keadaan mahasiswa dan diaspora Indonesia pasca-9/11. Yg kami temui adalah diplomat muda yg cerdas, artikulatif, dan mampu menangani persoalan rumit dgn ketenangan diplomatik yg sulit ditiru.

Tahun 2012, sebagai Dubes di AS, Dino menggagas Kongres Diaspora Indonesia pertama di Los Angeles, mempertemukan diaspora dari seluruh dunia. Saya termasuk yg ia undang. Ia lalu mendirikan FPCI, komunitas kebijakan luar negeri terbesar dan berpengaruh, yg ikut melahirkan generasi diplomat baru, ujung tombak kita di panggung global.

Menguasai substansi, rekam jejaknya teruji, dan pengalaman memimpinnya luas. Itulah Dino. Karier diplomatiknya panjang dan ajeg, kecintaannya pada politik luar negeri Indonesia begitu dalam. Dino Patti Djalal, bukan karbitan jadi diplomat, bukan pula karbitan jadi pejabat.

The hardest part about working in corporate is never the job itself, it’s the politics and mental survival games we’re forced to play.

Suddenly, you're 27.

You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.

Then you wake up, and do it all again.

And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.

How did everything pass by so quickly?

You don't even feel 27.

You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.

But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.

But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.

Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.

So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.

The point is no matter age you are, you'll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it's always a good time to stop and smell the roses.
