Dear, fellas.
Oh yeah, it's me, again. I barely made a time to showing myself right here because there were many things that need to be more prioritized such as finishing my final thesis. I've checked my previous post about how gloomy I was about being in a creative block and couldn't do anything but complain while I had to pass it anyway. Well, yeah, I've passed it and let me introduce myself with my new degree: Laksita Rose, B.A! (S. Sn. if it converted in Bahasa). I had my final presentation yesterday and gladly everything went pretty smooth. I'm welcoming myself to the real-reality that this is only the first step I take and there are thousands of steps I need to take again. Time flies really fast and I just realized that it's been four years I've been in university. From learning how to draw from scratch, preparing a portfolio for the university application, learning design principles, learning the zoning and grouping of interior design, gaining knowledge about interior design that I've never heard before, and the list is endless. I have to admit that in university, I've learned a lot not only about academic things but also life lessons more than I had in 12-year of school.
So yeah. since I've been M.I.A. since February, well there are many things to be told here and to be honest I don't know where to start. After all these months, overall I'm happy but I have to admit I faced some obstacles too especially while finishing my thesis. I have to admit that having a creative block really ruins everything. Every week I had to report my progress to my lecturer but I couldn't do my best due to my lack of creativity. I also realized that doing your final project you do not only need a healthy body but also a healthy mind. I've been facing an emotional roller coaster and my mood swang from the north and to the south and back in nanoseconds for the reasons I can't explain here. I didn't know whether God just tested me to be a tougher person but I was emotionally sick back then. It frustrated me when I wanted to give my best but I couldn't. I concede that sometimes I was blaming myself that I could've done better if I didn't have that kind of issue.
But gladly, I passed them all.
And there are more steps I need to take in front of me. Life doesn't stop here.
This may sound old-fashioned, but I've been on Twitter lately, and I uninstalled my Instagram app for almost a month. Instagram has been so addictive to me and believe it or not, I could spend hours on Instagram just want to know what people were doing. I was rushing the deadline but Instagram kept haunting me all the time, so I decided to quit for awhile. My friends kept updating their project's progress through Instagram stories which really intimidated me back then. I followed accounts that I really love the contents such as traveling and photography. It was interesting seeing their feeds at first, but as time goes by it became toxic until I got envious every time I saw their posts and I compared my life with the others. It was toxic, it was. So, I decided to quit for awhile to make peace with myself and be more focused doing my final project. Now, I'm activating my Instagram again, it's pretty well seeing other's posts again, and what I feel right now by seeing them is not the same as I did weeks ago.
Well, the reason I've been on Twitter lately is the people there never fail to surprise me with the variety of their mind that keeps evolving every day, especially talking about the current social issue or anything that can be interesting to be discussed. I'm following some people with different experts so I'm gaining knowledge every time they share something interesting. I really like how the people with different backgrounds can unite in discussing specific interesting topics. And you know what? Most people on Twitter are tired of the life of Instagram, lol.
If you have read my previous posts, you'd probably know that I'm a concert go-ers. No matter how busy I was, I still made a time to watch concerts to avoid myself being insane. Lol. In February 16th, I supposed to watch Paramore live concert in Jakarta but unfortunately, the concert had to be postponed until this August due to Hayley's illness. The concert was canceled on the D-day when everyone was already in the venue and everyone was already in front of the stage. It was heartbreaking for all the fans who had made time for the concerts but there was nothing we could do. We understood that Hayley was not a machine and the postponed concert was the best for all of us.
The concert's journey doesn't stop there. Last month I've watched The Script (Jakarta) and Fall Out Boy (Singapore). Well, this post has been a pretty long post so I would write about them on the next post. Stay tuned!
