Contentment Jar

Somehow someway grateful enough that I am completely down with fever today, a well deserved sick leave from the office and just having a complete rest at home.

Like many other writer, I have been longing to share my thought on this platform but the Monday-Friday office life and weekend motto "give me yoga and sleep" ends up I barely pour my reflection here.

Well its almost mid 2019, life has been surreal different ever since my siblings are away for university and its actually been a year time since I stepped my foot on the unlikely corporate journey. Finally settling down with home church and a new cell group early this year - I can't be more grateful to finally find a new support system and new care cell family. That itself does not guarantee the Jakarta life is anti-roller coaster. I was pretty mad and disappointed at myself at the end of my first graduate trainee rotation, my rationale brain keeps on telling myself to fight and seek for explanation until I came to the realisation that all this will gradually keep my "contentment jar" empty. Perhaps this too contribute why I have been ill every month which at the end I conclude - its damn not worth it. It is completely not worth it to forsake my wellbeing in the name of work. Although up until today, there are days when I can't find enough motivation to go to office in the morning, that lost feeling in the middle of the days... hang on there there is always the bright side of everything friends!

Here is the truth that keeps me going till today despite all the mental and spiritual breakdown in the middle of the way. And here are some glimpse of my recent trip with this jolly tall lady to Singapore last month. Weekend getaway surely recharges!
