Marriage is Scary? About Prespective as a Women

-

In my 20s era, sebagai seseorang perempuan yang tumbuh dan hidup di Indonesia, apalagi selalu dibarengi dengan stigma-stigma itu, pikiran-pikiran jelek yang terus menghantui. Berita selingkuh dimana-mana, kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (kdrt), tidak diberikannya hak sebagai istri dan lain sebagainya. Tentunya mendengar kata "menikah" saja membuat banyak sekali pertanyaan-pertanyaan 'what if?' yang muncul di kepala.

What if romance dies between us?

What if i'm not enough for my husband no matter how much love i pour into us?

What if i'm not enough for my husband no matter what im trying?

What if one day we wake up as a stranger?

What if he no longer sees me as the person he once loved?

What if I married the wrong person?

Menurutku ketakutan-ketakutan diatas wajar aja dialami sebagai seorang perempuan yang nantinya juga akan menikah dan berumah tangga. Mendengar banyak berita yang seliweran betapa "meruginya" wanita setelah menikah dan berumah tangga. Apalagi jika dihadapkan perceraian, tidak hanya rugi atas materi, namun juga fisik dan mental.

Aku bertanya-tanya...... is marriage worth all the risk?

i'm literally young-adult women, masih bingung dan terlihat samar bagiku mendengar sebuah kata "pernikahan". Menurutku pernikahan adalah sebuah kesepakatan bersama, ibarat mengemudikan pesawat terbang. di awal perjalanan akan ada rasa antusiasme dan semangat untuk lepas landas menuju sebuah destinasi yang sudah direncanakan sejak awal.  Namun, setelah memulai perjalanan mungkin merasakan guncangan dari cuaca yang tak menentu, hingga masalah yang tidak terduga. Tentunya selama momen ini dibutuhkan sebuah ketenangan untuk menghadapi sebuah masalah. 

Menurut aku pernikahan bukan hanya menyatukan segala sesuatu yang berbeda menjadi selaras atau serupa, melainkan belajar tentang bagaimana menyikapi sebuah perbedaan, ada sebuah irama dan harmoni yang bisa ditemukan dari kedua belah jiwa. Menurutku, pernikahan juga bukan hanya untuk terus memaksa berjalan beriringan satu sama lain. Melainkan untuk berkompromi, menemukan sebuah titik untuk selalu memilih "kita" bukan diri sendiri. Bahwasanya pernikahan memang tidak selalu mulus dan mudah, banyak ujian, tantangan sampai jurang yang harus diikuti. Sehingga, kedua belah pihak dapat terus melihatnya sebagai tekanan yang membuat perjalanan terseut menjadi lengkap dan menyenangkan.

does knowing me more lead to loving me less?

 ..or will knowing me deeper teach you how to love me better? the fear that if someone sees all of it-- the cracked edges, the unspoken grief, the truths not wrapped in petty language-- they'll walk away. not because of anything cruel, but because knowing the real version feels heavier than they signed up for. that's what it feels like. sometimes -- like being deeply known is dangerous. people often fall for the version of someone they can romanticize. the on who laughs just enough, shares stories carefully edited for charm, and hides the deeper aches behind a practiced smile. and so the questions begin: what if the unfiltered version i too much? what if the real story changes how they look at everything? what if the full truth makes the love disappear? These past few years, I’ve often imagined what it would be like to finally meet my soulmate— someone who would love me with tenderness, who would accept every part of me— my flaws, my history, my darkest secret-- Someone who...

Lately i've been distanced myself from everyone, i stopped talking too much, started to ghost/ignore them, i don't want anyone to distract my solitude. i met a lot of people for searched many heart in hopes to find a home, but i only felt more homeless leaving each ne i have entered. did u know the saddest part of being "this phase" "relapse" is... i start questioning my worth gain, do i deserve this? do i don't deserve love? but why? i remember when i making promises to myself, i said "no matter how much world mistreats me, i'll always choose to be kind, heartwarming and loving". but then i realized, sometimes im not that strong girl like everyone's did. where i do run when everything feels so heavy? where's i do run when im at my lowest point? who's gonna proud of me?  maybe in this life, in this phase, in this journey isn't about love. and here, i speak to myself, ...

How Most Men Think They Don’t Deserve Love Just Because they are Financially Unstable

The Good Men Project Recently Pondered  What is a man without money?  that is a good question.  i’ve never been one to focus on money — my own or someone else’s or see it as a path to happiness.  I scrolled through TikTok for a moment, and coincidentally, the videos on my fyp (for you page) were all about “man without money”. But there was this one video that piqued my interest, The video was from an account @gryunk. you can watch the video first then come back here so it will be easier for you to understand the context of today’s blog post,  now that i'm at final year student girl, however sometimes i help my parents finances. hoping to retire one day and dealing with the never-ending cost of living. i think about money a wee bit more.  sometimes I still don’t equate it to whether I am happy or not (and never will), although I acknowledge money certainly makes things easier. mungkin di umur aku yg skrg masih belum “ngerasain” dan “ngerti” gimana rasanya hi...
