Hello, my dear. Thank you for giving me such a good question. It seems that you‘ve been watching me for a long time 🥺

How to maintain balance in life? Is it possible? Well, if I’m being honest, it is not easy. Like holding 3 cups with one hand, it is possible but your hand must be shaking. Balanced life ≠ do everything at once. I need to focus on what’s more important for me at the time. 2022 was a very tough year, but I successfully managed it by not stressing about it. Instead, I try to think about the good things I can do while working. I admit that it was HARD, I cried a lot but I keep walking while enjoying what life brings to me. Work slowly but steadily improving. I am no longer searching for perfection, because it’s exhausting. Jadi semisal hari ini aku ada kerjaan dan kuliah barengan, ya aku fokus ke dua itu. Urusan hobby dikesampingin dulu sampai kerjaan selesai, malam sebelum tidur baru catch up lagi. For relationship, if you find a right partner, I’m sure they will understand you. I kinda enjoy kesibukanku baik kuliah dan organisasi, thanks to my man for being supportive since day one. We often do it together so… yes, I consider myself lucky.

I will not give any mainstream advice nor toxic positivity, but here is the thing that you should do in order to live a balanced life: always listen to your body and guts. Take a break, jangan memaksakan diri untuk menyelesaikan semuanya dalam satu waktu. Jangan membandingkan diri kita dengan orang lain. Always set your boundaries. Lower your expectations for people but always be optimistic about yourself. Last but not least, selalu percaya kalau bantuan bakal dateng dengan sendirinya. Do not depend on it, just believe that semua masalah bakal terselesaikan.

Yes, I never missed about the latest fashion, art and Kpop news because that’s my coping mechanism. But truth to be told, I’m not really that ‘up-to-date’. I’m just lucky to have many army + hf twt moots who keep me updated. So every time I have free time to open my Twitter, my tl already gives me what I need to see. If you notice it, I chose to not giving my reviews for Milan Fashion Week collections. I only highlight some brands but not every day like I did for Paris Fashion Week. Priority first, baby!

I apologize for not responding earlier because there was a little trouble with my retrospring. I hope my answer can be useful to you 💗
