"Someday, when I’m gone, you will remember me through my actions and my words. Then I will be the villain in some people’s stories and an angel in others’."
When I am scared of the thunderstorm as if it is shattering the sky, I feel like God is mad, or my Greek mythology ass thinks that Zeus is having arguments with Poseidon or Hades. I hid in my blanket and covered my ears. The sounds streamed to my soul. I thought the sky might crack or the houses would be destroyed. I whispered, “God, are you mad at us? Forgive us, human beings, forgive me,” as if He would hear me and stop the thunderstorm. I don't want to face the apocalypse, not now, I think. Somewhere between the roaring sky and my trembling chest, it occurred to me that perhaps the storm was never just in the clouds. Imagine how God will destroy the earth in an apocalypse, imagine when He says “enough” to all of us, it is more than just a thunderstorm. Definitely, no one is ever as patient and merciful as God. Yet it makes me think that patience and all the feelings we feel can break out at any time. Perhaps, because we are human, and patience has limits for us. It could appear ...

Who run the world? Girlsssss. Kalian tau ga sih kalau woman power itu bisa jadi inspiratif banget.
Bukan cuman cantik, harus dandan, pinter masak, sopan, anggun, we actually can do more than that. Perempuan bisa jadi seperti apa yang mereka mau. Kalian mau jadi hakim? polisi? dokter? arsitektur? model? karyawan? mau bangun bisnis? mau jadi pemimpin? WE CAN!
Tapi tau ga sih? kalau stereotip perempuan di lingkup sosial masih ada seperti "Perempuan itu kodratnya cuman di dapur, masak, beres-beres rumah, ngerawat anak." atau ketika kita udah mencapai apa yang kita mau dan sukses dalam karir tiba-tiba dihembusin husshhhh, dan dijatuhin dengan dalih...
"Perempuan tuh jangan pinter-pinter amat, nanti ga ada cowok yang mau."
"Kalau cewek itu sukses dan mentingin karir nanti cowok minder."
But remember, jealousy and insecurity aren't our responsibility. Because our hard work and determination have nothing to do with them. We are the strong people that can face that. Kita nyanyi bareng yuk karena udah sama-sama kuat dan work hard to get what we want.
Ini list lagu buat kalian yang bisa menjadi inspirasi bagi perempuan-perempuan diluar sana yang sedang berjuang, yang sedang menerjang badai untuk menjadi lebih kuat. We are more than just beautiful.
1. MOST GIRLS - HAILEE STEINFIELD
Orang-orang tuh suka milih dan bikin persepsi mereka sendiri kayak oh dia lebih cantik dari ini, dia lebih baik dari ini, lebih pinter dari ini, lebih kurus dari ini, atau oh, dia ga seperti cewek lain. Oleh karena itu, terkadang beberapa cewek merasa insecure dengan diri mereka sendiri. Tapi Hailee bilang kita tuh semua sama, banyak cewek yang sama kayak aku, bukan cuman aku doang yang cantik, bukan cuman aku doang yang pintar, banyak cewek yang cantik kok, dan banyak cewek yang pinter kok. Kita semua bisa ngelakuin segalanya. Despite being pick me, Hailee ngasih makna dalem buat kita dengan bilang "I wanna be like most girls."
2. SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL - ALESSIA CARA
Lagu ini tuh nyeritain terkadang perempuan ga akan pernah cukup di mata lingkungan sosial "Terlalu cantik, terlalu jelek, ga mancung, kurus, gendut, pipi lebar." Kita kadang mencoba untuk cocok dan menjadi cantik versi mereka, sampai kita sendiri lupa untuk appreciate diri kita dan sayang sama diri kita sendiri. Kita juga lupa buat bersyukur dengan kehidupan ini, padahal kehidupan ini tuh kehidupan terbaik buat kita. Mba Alessia Cara bilang "No better you than the you that you are. And no better life than the life we're living". We'll never fit into society's construction idea of beauty because we are unique and beautiful for the way we are.
3. THIS IS ME - DEMI LOVATO (CAMP ROCK)
Kalian pernah nonton Camp Rock? Lagu ini signature Camp Rock banget deh. Buat kalian yang introvert, ga pede, atau masih dalam tahap pencarian diri kalian, terutama nih ciwi-ciwi yang ga pede buat nunjukin kemampuan dan bakat kalian. Ciwi-ciwi yang ngerasa ga sebagus orang lain, atau kemampuannya kurang, jadinya mau hide aja. Lagu ini tuh buat kalian. Kita semua punya waktu dan kesempatan untuk nunjukin kemampuan kita, dan ketika kesempatan itu datang, grab it fast! Be confident and No more hiding who you want to be, girls!
4. GIRL ON FIRE - ALICIA KEYS
Sekali lagi Perempuan itu bisa jadi seperti yang mereka mau. Kita punya ambisi, tekad, dan kekuatan untuk mengejar mimpi kita. Kita bisa berdiri diatas kaki kita sendiri dan tidak peduli dengan lingkungan sosial yang menganggap kita ga bisa atau kurang mampu. Girls, We Got Power, too. And we are not alone, we have people who support us and love us. Kita bisa jadi inspirasi buat orang-orang terdekat ataupun semua orang. Kata mba Alicia "Got our head in the clouds and we're not coming down." Karena.... THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE!
5. PART OF ME - KATY PERRY
Heartbreak is not gonna stop us, and it will never destroy us. You can break my heart but not my dreams. Mba Katy pengen kita temukan diri kita sendiri setelah badai berlalu, setelah sakit yang dirasakan. Jangan biarin patah hati merenggut semuanya. There is a part of you that's never takin' away from you.
That's it, 5 empowerment songs that have a lot of meaning. Gimana girls? Yang mana favorit kalian? Semoga kalian terisnpirasi dari lagu-lagu tersebut. Be brave, be confident, and don't be scared to reach your dream.
There are many forms of kindness, such as being respectful, polite, friendly, and appreciative. The fact that sometimes people have differences but still choose to respect each other's perceptions shows respect. How you treat people with kindness and answer them politely rather than ignorantly and apathetically speaks to what kind of person you are. Also, a little bit of a smile is enchanting. In my journey of life, I'm not always kind, I was rude, we were being rude, but honestly, the older I get, the more I learn. We never truly know what others have been through, we have never walked in their shoes, and being rude to them only makes them feel worse, doesn't it? If you go to a restaurant, saying “thank you” to the waitress might be a small act that is nice. It might make them feel better, because we don't know what happened to them that day. Either way, to your online taxi driver, to your pedicab driver, to the bakery seller that you buy from, to anyone who helps you ...

“I served myself to God. I prayed 5 times a day, I fasted, I read the Qur'an more than most people, and I was willing to die or kill for God. But I never felt God was satisfied, I didn't know if He was or not” Spoken by an ex-Muslim, I watched a podcast about his journey to becoming a Christian, but I sensed a slight misconception about his perception. I want to highlight the point of how he was praying to satisfy God. However, I can tell he was raised in a tough environment and I’m not going to judge his whole journey. God is Powerful, God is Great, The Most Merciful, The Most Compassionate, The Most Forgiving. But how could He need us to make Him satisfied? Would that make Him more powerful? Or by not worshiping Him, He becomes less powerful? It feels like a random thought that came out of nowhere, but what is the correct concept behind it? Human beings, like kings such as Nimrod and Pharaoh, needed validation and satisfaction, so they demanded their people worship them...
