The Process

Hi there!

How's your life going? I hope it's going well, fine, and full of joy. I'm really busy with my last studio project at college (I'm actually having trouble with time management, so I'm terribly sorry for not writing anything recently). 

I've been thinking these couple weeks, that life is so much more than having a goal that you want to have for almost ages, or spending time doing nothing. I mean, those two are really great to do: have something that you've been wanting for so long and spend time doing nothing just because you already have the 'thing' you wanted before. I've been thinking about this because of my lack of searching - searching for something right to do in my life. I still don't know what it is, but basically I'm happy I'm still searching for 'it'. It's the process that I'm happy I'm in it, be a part of it. 

The process of searching, 

the process of giving, 

the process of reaching,

the process of having, 

any processes you are dealing with right now,

it does matter to your life - probably it won't impact to you now, but later on. 

I'm such a person who love to see the process behind everything that happened. I naturally like to judge to people, things, and basically everything. Well, who doesn't? People are born to have sort of judgmental behaviour. But, when it comes to see the reason behind those people, things, and everything, I started to realize that we are born not to have things we want to have. We are born, as human beings, to learn things in life - to feel both joy and sorrow over and over again. It's really satisfying when you know - you realize that we live in a beautiful place despite the bad people, global warming, and anything bad. 

I know it's so hard for people to see things beside their own perspective. They are somehow close-minded for things they don't care about, they don't know about. You can't just put aside anything you don't want to know into a strange-broken box and throw it away. What I'm trying to say is that we have to be aware to one another, to our own people, our own environment. Even tough it makes us struggling to be aware of any of those stuffs, but at least we should try. The world needs people who appreciate themselves, and surely the others by giving people joy and hope to live - the simplest thing to do, yet the hardest one.

Back at it, the process. When I joined some of the organisations both in the college and outside the college, I often got problems with time management or people I worked with. Working as a team was really hard for me, because my friends and I wanted different things even we were in one organisation that has one vision; even we were having the same interest. But, as the time went by, we worked together well, as a team, and it's because we appreciated each other's mind and opinion. We appreciated the process we had before the product had made or the day had come. It's really relieving to appreciate little things in life, to appreciate the process you are dealing with right now, trust me. And from that, you will eventually get the joy and life values. 

Wow, I'm happy sharing you this. I'm glad. I hope we can appreciate more and judge less.

I took these photos when it was Indonesia's Independence Day, 2017.

All photos were taken by Yashica fx3 super 2000 and film Ilford  400 (sorry I forget what type of Ilford I used).
