Pandemic & Yogyakarta

Hi, how are you? how are you dealing with the pandemic? I can't believe it's already 2022. A lot has happened during this covid19. are you all right?back in 2020 when the first covid cases appeared in Indonesia and in the end made us all just have to be locked at home. everything goes so fast. Of course, everything affects everyone. And of course, this pandemic had an impact on my life too. it was not easy for me to get through this challenging year. wherein 2019 my father just passed away and then the pandemic hit, and in the same year, I lost a lot of my family members again. it's been a year full of trials for me. And again I say, this is not easy.On fasting in 2020, I was locked in Jakarta alone, without my family. I'm used to being away from my family, it's just that the news on TV and on social media makes me anxious and think about them. and finally, I decided to go back to Jogja for a while. to hang out with my family, and make sure they're okay. and at the end of the year, I decided to return to live in Jogja again.

I am grateful that I was given the time to be with my family. After my father passed away, my family's condition was a little different. because in my family, my father is a comedian. and the atmosphere of the house is always cheerful because of it. even so in the end, the challenges of life make us closer. and my decision to return to Jogja I think is right.

I'm also very grateful because it turns out that the pandemic in Jogja was really fun. The peaceful, serene atmosphere of Jogja, allows me to do my activities more comfortably. I also live in an area that is still close to nature, rice fields, and friendly neighbors. In this area, there are also lots of unique coffee shops and restaurants that make me feel more at home.


There are many productive things that I can do here, without having to worry but still following the health rules. and I can still work from home or work anywhere, my favorite is when I work remotely at a unique cafe in Jogja. I'm very grateful for that. I can still run in the morning, swim, work from anywhere, enjoy the cool beauty of nature, eat good food, visit painting exhibitions, or fun new tourist attractions. I couldn't ask for more.





This pandemic has taught me a lot. I learned a lot about stoicism. how I should be able to accept the situation, control my emotions, know myself better, and live a more peaceful life.
