In this extraordinary life, I would be a teacher still. Helping people to understand even some little things to make them feel worthy and understand themselves better. It seems that teaching has become a calling for me. Not about teaching such specific subject like mathematics or so, but more like... I like to give new perspectives for people, and having them saying "Oh.... I see..." is satisfying for me. Of course, by teaching I can learn so many new perspectives from different people too. It's like the more I teach the more I learn, and that is so true. Maybe more like a guide. I like giving guidance to people who needs it. No, I don't like giving unsolicited guiding. I like to guide people who wants to be guided. I'd teach them how to love, love themselves first. Yea sure when we are talking about things, they would say "do useful things like engineering, plumbing, this and that" but they tend to forget that we need some balance in life. Not saying t
Sanur
Technically, Denpasar is a big city. But nature around is fantastic. You can access almost everything that a big city can offer, but also you can be in nature as much as you can and it's only within walking distance. Well... a few minutes at least.
When I lived in Malang, it was also in one of the good spots. Though I lived only close to the mall where I usually buy things I need there. Took me at least 30 mins to get to the Alun-alun or enjoy city walking around the old town. It was only 4KM but took me 30 mins. 4KM here I can reach in 10 mins driving. I wasn't able to go to the beach anytime I want. Even if I want to go to Bromo, I still need to arrange the car a day or two before. The closest beach was 2-3 hours from home. Bromo, well... 3 hours I guess. So the closest open space was alun-alun.

I grew up in a small town where we don't have bookstores like Gramedia, let alone Kinokuniya. We need to travel to a bigger city like Surabaya or Malang only to get the books we want to buy. A little access to any open spaces like big parks. Though people can go to the waterfall an hour from my town, but my parents won't let me go because... the town is well known for prostitution center 😅 I kind of jealous of my husband childhood, he did a lot of things in nature. It's a privilege one can have.
I spent my childhood staying home and school.
What I meant was, people need a kind of life that we can enjoy nature after work (or any time we want). It would be ideal, to be honest. I can say that living in Denpasar is making me having this kind of privilege. Maybe you're having a hard time and just wanna release the tension by eating lumpia in Sanur for 5K 😌
Lumpiyang they said
That made me think "I want my kids growing up in a place like this." It doesn't have to be Denpasar but a place where (almost) everything is accessible and also very close to nature and open spaces. It's good.
We'll see. But that's the dream 😉
Speaking of, who still remember Denpasar Moon song?
