Ketika Galau Menyapa

Yellow hello :)

A few days ago, a friend of mine asked me these questions :

"Ke, lu pernah galau ga sih? I mean kaya.. Mau for good balik Indo? Or galau pindah kerjaan? Galau pasangan hidup?"

At that moment, I straight away said, "I did. Tapi sekarang udah ga galau lagi"

Then she told me that it's been her yearly question : to stay, or not to stay.

"Waktu liat temen skolah lu udah buka usaha di Indo. Or liat yang pada postingan foto bayi masing masing. Trus gw jadi bertanya-tanya. Gw balik Indo ga yah? Kalo balik, kapan?"

I know exactly how she feels. I was there myself.

I think I wrote a lot about this before.

Intinya gw sih ditempatin di SG dan gw ga perlu galau balik Indo ya karena assurance gw adalah gw di SG. (Or at least for now. Lah ntar kan kalo merit mah nurut ahhaha).

Galau pindah kerjaan? Pernah juga. Baru taun lalu bahkan haha.

Tapi Tuhan bilang kan "Not yet" lewat jebakan batman Tim Ho Wan hahaha.

Galau pasangan hidup? ...didoain aja dah gausah digalauin brosis.

Personally, I believe that His plans for me is always the very very super best.

It's like trusting my own mom and dad, that they will always give me their best.

Nah kalo manusia yang limited aja segitu sayangnya sama gw, apalagi Tuhan.

Yesterday night, pas kita lagi PW di FA, I was reminded sama idup gw.

And all I can see is His great work that has changed my life, restored my mom and dad, brought my sister back to Him.

All I could say cuman, "Tuhan.. Gila sih. Lu baek banget sama gw. Siapa sih gw sampe segitunya Tuhan sayang.." Bner2 gw humbled by His overflowing love.

Terus ga pake lama Dia bilang, "Apa sih yang GA akan Gw lakuin buat lu, Kez?"

...

...

...

Abis deh itu tissue.

You're just too sweet, God.. :')

Ehem. Anyway.

Jadi apakah galau itu salah?

For me, galau itu kaya bersin. Bersin itu ga salah.

Yang salah adalah kalo lu bersin di makanan orang or meper ke baju temen lu muahaha!

Menurut gw galau itu ga salah. Yang kadang salah adalah cara kita menyikapi galau itu.

Sebagai sesama wanita (cieh wanita), I got it.

Wanita itu pikirannya sering banget mendahului kenyataan hahaha.

Wanita itu suka banyak mau.
Mau makan banyak tapi ga gendut.
Mau belanja banyak tapi mau tabungan juga banyak.
(Real story lol).

Menurut gw galau itu karena lu meletakkan diri lu di pusat segala sesuatu.

Let me elaborate.

If you ask me what's your favorite food?

Today I might say it's salted egg pork. But after 3 months of salted egg pork on weekly basis, I might change my mind and when one asked me the same question, I'd say "Toriq chicken ball. Yay!"

See.

People change.

What you want today and tomorrow might not be the same.

What you FEEL today and tomorrow might not be the same.

Do you know One that never change no matter what?

JESUS!!!

Jadi gimana supaya ga galau? Put your trust in Him. Let Him be your source of Hope.

Surrender all that galauness and faithfully follow Him.

Percaya aja kalo rancangan Tuhan itu rancangan damai sejahtera.

Percaya aja kalo jalan Tuhan itu di atas jalan-jalan kita.

Another thing that may cause akut galauness : comparison.

Iya lah. Temen gw ini galau karena liat temen dia yang for good kok circle of networkingnya jadi banyak. Terus kalo buka usaha kayanya seru gimana gitu. Belom lagi yg udah postingannya tentang pampers bayi.

Yesterday during FA, dibahas tentang God's promises in our lives.

Do you believe that He wants you to live an extraordinary life?

One that specifically designed and pre-determined for you and YOU ALONE can do it!

When we look around and we start comparing, it's actually kinda like an apple asking why it can't be as smelly as durian (ew). 

You were made perfect and unique and beautiful just the way you are!

Don't ever ever let the world change who you are in Christ.

See yourself from His perspective.

You are (literally) worth dying for!!

So to sum up.

1. Galau ga salah. Cuman cara kita menyikapi galau yang sering salah.

2. Biar ga galau :  surrender it all to God. Trust that He is able.

3. Biar ga galau : stop comparing! (See no. 2)

If you guys think gw macam totally ga pernah galau : TETOT. WRONG!

Barusan aja gw di bis pulang bisa galau huahuahuahua.

Bukan galau yang begimana sih.. Cuman rada ga penting tapi suka kepikiran hahaha.

Jadi tadi kan makan es di Merely Ice Cream (paporit ice cream place).

Trus gw makan belepotan. Trus kata ciwiks "Aduh Kezzzz kamu gimana mau dapet jodoh, makan es krim aja belepotan"

Trus kita jadi ngomongin gimana kalo kita itu pecicilan banget dan kemungkinan bkin orang lain ilfil karena pecicilan-ness kita.

(Pecicilan itu apa sih ya.. Kaya talkative banyak tingkah gitu).

So, should I tone down my pecicilan-ness so guys might be less ilfil when seeing me?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Ya ga lah!

...

I was not saying kalo smua orang harus pecicilan.

I'm saying that you don't have to be someone else to be loved.

One day, a guy will see all of this and say 'Hey that's cute. But whatever you do is basically cute'.

Because that's how God wants Him to see me.

BEGITULAH.

I guess when you know How much He loves you, it's kinda change your perspective towards.. well, EVERYTHING.

So.
I don't really know what's your issue about. Apa yg bkin kalian galau.
Kerjaan? Duit? Masa depan? Pasangan hidup (lagi-lagi...)?
Whatever it is, don't look around, look up!
Fix your eyes on Him!
Let Him be your guide, your strong tower, your provider, your.. whatever it is you need, He is MOREEEEE than enough for you :)


Well, for me.. He's the sweetest guy ever ;)

XOXO
You are loved!
