A lot of people forget a simple truth:
Sometimes you’re not the problem — you’re just the closest target.
Yes, people project their own demons.
Anger, insecurity, unresolved pain… it spills onto whoever’s in front of them.
A sudden outburst from a friend, partner, or family member usually started long before you walked into the room.
But here’s the part people avoid:
You also need the courage to look inward.
Not obsessively.
Not blaming yourself for everyone’s emotions.
But with enough honesty to see your own patterns, your own mistakes, your own blind spots.
Because real peace comes from two things at the same time:
1. Knowing when it’s not about you.
2. Knowing when it is.
If you only do the first, you become delusional.
If you only do the second, you become self-destructive.
The balance is the key.
Sometimes you’re truly doing nothing wrong — you’re just absorbing storms that don’t belong to you.
And sometimes, the tension in a relationship or a misunderstanding with a stranger does carry a piece of your responsibility.
Ignoring that part kills growth.
But once you learn to recognize both sides — your own role and their projection — you stop taking everything personally and you stop blaming everyone else for everything you live.
That’s when your peace becomes real…
because you’re not handing it away,
and you’re not lying to yourself either.
Discernment is the real freedom.
And that’s when nothing — and no one — can control your inner world anymore.
Dalam case @ikanatassa, kita harus punya standar baru:
Bahwa pelaporan atas kekerasan berbasis gender itu bukan serangan balik, tapi upaya penyelamatan ruang publik.
Bahwa diam terhadap misogini bukanlah netralitas, tapi pengkhianatan terhadap nilai keadilan.
Tindakan Ika, setidaknya sampai menit ini saya perhatikan, bukan abuse of power.
Betul dia menggunakan power/kekuasaan.
Tapi tidak semua penggunaan kekuasaan = penyalahgunaan kekuasaan.
Jika akun anonim secara konsisten menghujat perempuan, melakukan ujaran kebencian, fitnah, atau ancaman—maka tindakan melaporkan ke pihak berwenang atau atasan merupakan tindakan perlindungan diri dan masyarakat, BUKAN ABUSE.
Tindakan ini bisa dianggap sebagai bentuk digital justice.
I am beyond disgusted. Using genocide of the people in Palestine for your campaign? I will never, ever, buy anything from Zara, ever again. This is absolutely cruel, heartless and evil. Mocking more than 20 thousand deaths of Palestinian people for a freaking campaign?? Udah gila marah aku banget liat ini. #BOYCOTTZARA

Di era sosial media ini, yang perlu dibina dan disyukuri adalah the joy of missing out; like you know the trend but you feel such relief you’re not interested in joining the herds because it just doesn’t suit you. To live in your own happy land is such a blessing
Satu lagi ruang publik cantik dan multifungsi hadir di Jakarta. Udah gitu, lokasinya strategis banget buat jadi tempat janjian, atau sekedar nongkrong bareng, yaitu Taman Literasi Martha Christina Tiahahu yang lokasinya persis di samping MRT Blok M!
