As the sun sets on the canvas of 2023, casting its golden glow upon the landscape of our memories, we find ourselves standing at the crossroads of reflection and anticipation. This year has been a tumultuous symphony, a breathtaking dance of highs and lows that has left indelible marks on the canvas of our lives. In the labyrinth of the past twelve months, I navigated through the corridors of personal challenges. The echoes of laughter and tears reverberated through the chapters of my story. There were moments when I felt like I was standing on the edge of a precipice, grappling with personal issues that seemed insurmountable. Yet, in the midst of darkness, I discovered an inner light, a resilience that whispered, "You are stronger than you know." The dance with insecurities, particularly the looming shadow of my thesis, felt like a masquerade ball where doubt wore a mask of uncertainty. The clock ticked relentlessly, but with each keystroke and every revised paragraph, I unr...

We all know that . . . In our lives, there are moments we wish we could rewind, decisions we long to undo, and circumstances we yearn to change. It's an undeniable truth that some things in the past cannot be altered or undone. However, as humans, we must remember that dwelling on the irrevocable past can only lead to despair.

While it may seem paradoxical to find joy in something so inherently sad, but I think that it is essential to reevaluate our perspective on death. In this article, I will explore the concept of commemorating death and how it can be viewed as a beneficial aspect of the human experience.

While birth brings happiness and celebration, death can also be viewed through a positive lens. It reminds us of the richness of life and the finite nature of our existence, prompting us to appreciate every moment we have. This perspective allows us to cherish not only the joyful moments but also the challenges and lessons that shape our character throughout our journey. Contemplating death can lead to a deeper sense of gratitude for the time we have been granted. Wh...

lanjutan dari part 1. Klik di sini untuk baca bagian sebelumnya. Hanya Nama Setelah pengumuman, kami dimasukkan ke dalam grup whatsapp yang isinya adalah para volunteer yang lolos seleksi. Kami diundang ke dalam grup oleh seseorang yang bernama Anastasia. Wanita yang nantinya kami panggil dengan Kak Tasya ini ternyata adalah istri dari Kak Reinhart. Dia sangat ramah kepada kami dan satu hal yang paling aku ingat di awal perkenalan secara virtual kami di grup whatsapp adalah dia selalu meminta kami untuk tidak membalas pesan yang dikirimkannya di WhatsApp. Katanya, itu akan menimbun informasi yang telah disampaikan. Kak Tasya pada akhirnya mengirimkan sebuah tautan tentang informasi teman-teman volunteer ke grup. Katanya, "biar kalian bisa ngobrol sama yang satu domisili". Klik. Aku menekan tautan tersebut dan yang aku lihat adalah nama-nama dari orang yang nantinya akan menjadi teman-temanku di Yogyakarta. Yang masih aku ingat sekarang, ada nama Gabriel Kaunang.
