On wishing something

The last semester of university is definitely the most exciting one.

I remember feeling overwhelmed that I kept on saying about how I really wish I could stay in a place but Jakarta and Lampung.

I said that when I did my bachelor thesis, when I was done with my thesis defense, when I was looking for a job, when I was enjoying my holiday before graduation, and in many other things I could not even remember.

The idea of living in a new place where everything is new was fascinating to me.

But now I think I was just overwhelmed with stuffs that I demanded to leave aka running away from reality (lol).

Anyway, now I am typing this post from around 3.100 miles away from where I live in Jakarta.

I have been here for two weeks and will be here for several months.

Oh well... you know how I kept on wishing about one thing and I really, really didn’t think about it thoroughly but now here I am. It just feels kinda weird and I surprisingly start to miss Jakarta and its never ending noise, hot temperature, and crazy traffic.
However, living around 1900-2500 meters above sea level isn't so bad after all.
The breathtaking view, fresh air, no traffic, and cold weather from where I live now are priceless.

Waking up with clouds on your neighbor’s rooftop, dressing up while facing beautiful waterfalls and tons of trees, and walking around your neighborhood wearing boots are obviously beyond my expectations.

It never crossed my mind that I would set my feet here.

See, now that I have got to adapt with this coldness and scary road to work is the reason why you should never joke with the universe.

Not even when you’re tired and secretly wish you could find a sugar daddy to support your life (lol).
