Happiness Measurement
30 Hari Bercerita
Hari ke-4
Most of the time, I'm confused of my general, or daily measurement of happiness. When I was in college, I used to make a list based on what I want and what I think would amaze me. Well, I did it. But after that, I was kinda distracted about what I really want to achieve and what is suppose to be meaningful and purposeful.
Does it important to be very materialistically rich? Is it possible to be a change maker who could make a huge impact, while I understand how this world working is like Yin and Yang? How far can I help and contribute to society? Is it more possible to help through my capabilities or my money? Why some policy makers and rulers and other people with authorities are blind to see the lack of humanity in some fundamental problems? What type of person that I'm looking forward to make a networking in the future? What if what i aspire to be is not only based on a one category or one person? And so on...
However, today, my measurement of (complicated) happiness is not decided by all of those questions. It felt so simple.
This Friday, as a Jakarta citizen on her daily life, I went to my office with commuter line. Before I went out of my apartment, I decided that I want to bring and reread a novel, and buy a coffee (pls don't tell my mom, bcs i'm on a food combining diet but i just can't help it when i have so many thoughts going on in my mind).
So, I walked out of my apartment, passed a basketball field while i was checking on commuter line application due to see the train schedule. Bogor-Angke commuter line was still in University of Indonesia, so I still got time to buy coffee and continue to go to the station.
I purchased a Family Mart's es kopi susu (iya, murah amat emang selera gue, easy to please anaknya) and continue my casual journey to station.
I went on a train, sat, drank my coffee and start to read my novel. So simple, but idk why i reallyyyyy enjoy that moment on commuter line.
Ya gue berangkat kerja, nyambi baca buku, bisa ngopi, dan sampai kantor kerja. Trus nanti pulang dan selain urusan kerjaan adalah mengurus detail persiapan masa depan lainnya (this is not like what you think it is and i hope whoever you are do not think that thing)
And in the office I discussed some projects and laughing with my friends because of our recent projects that has been published. Oh, God.
Basically, the point is, currently I accept and enjoy this slow-phased-simple life. Alhamdulillah. Lebih bersyukur lagi karena aku punya list orang-orang yang kusayang dan sekarang lebih sering ngobrol-ngobrol sama mereka. I'm so grateful.
And maybe those are my current measurement of happiness.
