Jokowi for Presiden and Prabowo for Vice President?

                  In April 2019, the whole people in country will finally vote again to determine the future of this nation. Rumor has it, Jokowi, our incumbent president, plans to go to the poll once again. But what’s more surprising is, Prabowo, who already lost to Jokowi in the previous 2014 election, is also planned to nominate himself as president candidate once again. Seeing this fact, many people start to consider what if we combine this two, Jokowi become the president candidate and Prabowo as the vice candidate?
                  According to a survey conducted by Saiful Mujani Research Center, 67% Indonesians agreed if Prabowo accompanied Jokowi as his vice president candidate in the upcoming election. Now the question is, will this wish come into realization? Unfortunately, (or fortunately) according to some political analysts, the answer will be most probably no.
                  The first reason is because Prabowo and Jokowi have a very different personality and ideology. If Jokowi is a humble and chill person, Prabowo is a very firm, strict individual that will never consider Jokowi as his partner. Ideology difference is also a problem, with Jokowi being super progressive and socialistic somehow while Prabowo is very nationalistic. This combination cannot work, since each of them cannot support each other.
                  Another reason is also party support. Regardless of big support from society, the only one who can nominate candidate is political party. Meanwhile, Prabowo’s political party, is less likely make him vice president only since they think Jokowi needs a balance opponent in the election, and those can only come from Prabowo.

Stress in a Capitalistic World, Part II : Value in Society, Value in Yourself

Most of the articles I relate to call what I'm experiencing a "burnt-out". It's different from feeling tired after working 24 hours on a useless paper or homework. It's not something that can be alleviated with relaxation. Although the term is mostly use to describe fatigue simply caused by overwork, some psychologists disagree and so do I. The easiest way to analyse this is finding the root of why people push themselves to prioritize work over all else anyway? Why can't they relax, meditate, take a vacation, and why are all those solutions  useless ? It's because they literally can't . If they do, the attempts will only make them worsen their anxiousness of possible repercussions. There's this compulsive desire, an overarching anxiety that whatever you do, however you improve, you are never satisfied. Got a promotion? There's a higher position. Became the CEO? You have to expand the business. And so on, and so on, and it never stops. And ...

Why I Started Writing Again

PROMPTS :: Your writing journey. Since I started high school I stopped writing, I got too busy preparing for the 6 rounds of exams I ended up taking. And when I started Uni, things just got busier. Such a big difference from my junior high days, I wrote 4-7 journal entries for English class, much like this one. And I found that I miss writing, though I couldn’t say that my pieces are anything life changing to the readers, but to me it means something. Because with writing I get to say things I don’t usually get to say out loud. Be it because I was too shy, I was insecure about my position, I might hurt the person I was speaking to, or I haven’t got the words at the time. Writing gave me so much freedom in terms of access to my own brain. Because when I write I’m usually not doing anything else, and I get to focus on my own thought. Like having a conversation with yourself. And this opens up so many sides of yourself you don’t normally get to know. It’s liberating in a w...
