The journey of life is a mysterious one. One that is filled with obstacles, challenges, heartbreaks but also love, pleasure and joy.

Taking a gap year was uncommon so I went straight into my very first semester of university after graduating from my sixth form college. I haven’t taken a proper break ever since; I got my first job not long after graduating from undergrad studies working at a firm in Jakarta, then my work contract ended, and the world went into lockdown mode.

When you’re playing an arcade game and you’re currently smashing it, then suddenly the screen says ‘Game Over!’ while you’re only 1 level away from victory, what will you do? The screen asks you if you want to continue the second game with the cost of 1 coin. Will you use the coin?

We don’t know what’s going to happen on the next day, next decisions, next impact of our steps. All we can do is just hope and predict as time flies by. But this is not an end. It took a long way down for me to understand the meaning of every beginning and when the time has come to be released.
