Masih pantaskah kita mengeluh ?

Hidup di kota besar seolah nampak menjadi magnet tersendiri untuk sebagian perantau. Kemudahan akses, impian mendapat pekerjaan dan memperbaiki taraf hidup menjadi sebagian besar mimpi kaum urban datang ke kota besar. Seperti Jakarta ataupun Bandung. Hal ini membuat persaingan semakin sengit. Katakanlah persaingan untuk menjadi yang terbaik, seiring kebutuhan moving yang cepat semua orang membutuhkan akses transportasi. Oleh karena itu beramai-ramai lah semua orang menaiki tranportasi bus way, KRL, atau kopaja.

Keadaaan seperti pindang pepes, dipepet terus menerus, dan kondisi panas menjadi pemandangan sehari-hari yang sebagian warga kota besar nikmati dan temui. Karena hampir sebagian besar ibu kota propinsi itu berada di daerah pesisir seperti Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya, Makasar, dll. Kondisi yang sebenarnya tidak manusiawi tidak nyaman, tapi seolah-olah dibuat zaman. Itulah realitas kehidupan kota besar.

Izinkan saya mengambil contoh seorang petugas busway Trans Jakarta, yang bekerja sepanjang hari selama 8 jam berdiri non stop, bayangkan betapa pegalnya luar biasa bukan. Kadang kita yang naik busway selama 30-60 menit saja sudah ngomel-ngomel. Ironis sekali bukan jika dibandingkan dengan petugas busway tersebut. Hey what are you thinking about?. Kondisi kita masih jauh lebih baik mungkin, hanya berdiri sebentar dibandingkan petugas busway tersebut. Dia setiap hari menjalankan profesi tersebut, sedangkan kita hanya menanggung beban 1/4 nya saja.Apa masih pantas kita mengeluh dan membandingkan?.

Just clearly thinking please, sewajarnya kita ga pantas mengeluh dan gak bersyukur dengan apa yang kita miliki. Walau panas, debu, keringat but it doesn't matter when you are still sleeping, has a house, have many suitable clothes, and many more.. So belajarlah sabar dan jangan pernah membandingkan keadaan. Tuhan punya cara tersendiri membahagiakan umatnya :)

The Power Imbalance When a Diplomat Dates You

  I never imagined that I would find myself entangled in a relationship with a man who held the title of diplomat . There is something inherently powerful about that word — a sense of nobility, intelligence, and integrity. For someone like me, who has always prided herself on being independent, educated, and emotionally resilient, the connection initially felt affirming. I thought, perhaps, I had finally found someone who could walk beside me as an equal. But what I didn’t realize at the time was how easily a title can conceal deeper truths — emotional manipulation , power imbalances, and an unspoken hierarchy that slowly erodes one’s sense of reality. Our story began online, like many modern romances. Joel Runnels introduced himself as a diplomat stationed in Central Asia , working in human rights advocacy . From the beginning, our conversations were intense and intellectually stimulating. He spoke about his work with disabled communities, policy reform, and global diplomacy. The...

When He’s a Different Person Behind Closed Doors

  You’ve probably never heard of Joel Runnels PhD — but in certain circles in Minnesota, he’s considered a quiet hero. A legislative affairs director who has dedicated decades of his professional life to disability rights and working for Minnesota Council on Disability , Joel is the kind of man who shows up at public hearings, writes compassionate policy briefs, and speaks with moral authority about equity, justice, and the need to protect society’s most vulnerable. He works closely with the Deaf community , disabled children, and families who rely on state policy to survive. But I knew another Joel. One who existed far away from the polished conference tables and media headlines. One whose mask would fall the moment the doors closed. And I’m finally ready to talk about him. This isn’t an exposé for the sake of revenge. This is my truth — and it’s also a mirror. Because too often, the people we are told to admire and trust the most are the very ones causing silent destruction behin...

When the Mask Falls: What I Learned After Being Lied to, Cheated On, and Gaslighted by a Diplomat

There’s a unique kind of heartbreak that comes not just from personal betrayal, but from betrayal by someone the world sees as respectable — someone who commands admiration, speaks with poise, and lives behind the diplomatic veil of charm and composure. I never thought I would find myself entangled in the emotionally devastating web of deceit, manipulation, and betrayal — especially not with a man trained to handle international relations, negotiations, and cultural sensitivity. But behind the polished exterior, I discovered a pattern of behavior that had been repeated many times before. A man who had fathered five children with two different women, leaving behind broken trust, confusion, and emotional damage. This is not a story told out of bitterness. It is told out of truth, growth, and a deep desire to help others recognize warning signs — and to choose themselves, every single time. The Charisma Trap He was everything that looked good on paper: well-educated, articulate, intellige...
