#What Makes Me Happy: Finale

Selasa, 29 Desember 2015

For this project, I originally planned to write ten things that make me happy, but now let me just write the last one, and maybe, the most important one. One thing that makes me happy is writing. I know it's hard to start sometimes, but the drive is still there, and as soon as I write, the words just flow from my mind. 

Writing can really help me sometimes. If I feel down, I write about how life sucks, sometimes in the form of poetry. I write until every negative things are out, then put a big cross in the paper, or delete it if I write it on sticky notes or tumblr. After that, I write my own solutions, my own plans for the problems, and wow, everything's solved. 

I've always dreamed of having my own book or novel published since I was a child, but it's really hard for me to keep up with it. Why? because I get bored so easily. For example, I have this one idea, and then I start to make the outline in my head. The endings, the highlight sentences, even the back cover of the book. But then I see other stuffs and get new ideas, and it is like those new ideas are more interesting than the old ones. So I do it all over again. I've read that if you want to write a novel, you should stick with an idea, and eventhough you think it's awful in the middle of the work, you need to stick with it until you write the ending. But I can't do that. And that's why I like writing poems and drabbles more nowadays. 

At last, I want to tell you the point of this project. I want to show you that in order to be happy, you don't have to get extravagant things. These small things that make up your life, are as important as them. I'm happy to go to Denmark and join IBO, but those things don't happen everyday. So if you keep waiting for the big things to be happy, you might never be happy for your whole life.Even the fact that you can breathe easily, that you can see the world in colors, that you can hear the music, those little things should make you happy. Because out there, there are people who can not afford to have them all but still put a smile on their face. It's the end of 2015, let's be happy.

Can't wait to write again for this one-and-a-half moth holiday!!! It's been so busy lately for me with all the tasks and exams and all the things I need to do to adjust myself in this new environment, but anyway, I feel like I really should start writing again. I know this year writing project of mine didn't go well, so I'm going to put my last article for that in a few days later. I'm going to update the "Poems" tab too with new poems I've written in 2015. And you know what? Eventhough I can't say that I'm a great poetess, I know I've been improving. I will write one post to summarize this year's story as usual, and also one not-so-usual article about IBO 2015 (yeay!). And last, I will inform you about my next year project which does not only involve writing, but also designing! I'm suck at graphic design, really. But I think maybe I can practice a bit here. So.. that's all for today, Hope you all an amazing holiday ^^
