So I just realized I always stay far away from my parents. It doesn’t mean ‘far’ but real far on distance. I took my bachelor degree in one city named Bandung, okay it’s Jatinangor, suburbs of Bandung. And it takes 2 – 3 hours by car from my home. For the first time I felt I couldn’t do that, staying alone not with mt parents, what should I eat? What if I got sick? And what if I ran out of money?

But time went by, and I knew by living far away from my family I learnt a lot of new things. I’ve became maturer and I could do things I couldn’t imagine before, such as:

1. I could repair my own television, lamp, and radio.

2. I could build my own cupboard

3. I could sleep on little space on my bed because it was wet since my rooftop were broken

4. I could eat something and stay alive with Rp700 (0.075840 USD) for 2 days because my bank had a problem at that time so my parents couldn’t send me some money hahaha..

And now I live in Rende, South Italia, it’s around 15 hours from my country. And I’m improving my ‘unimaginable’ ability into cooking since there are no Indonesian restaurant in here.

But the most unimaginable thing that goes on me now is: I can travel around Europe. Not all Europe, yet, but I will. And the magic things always come. For example, I went to Paris and Brussels with few money because that was all I got AND I met a lot of nice people who helped me (and my friends) with free places to stay and delicious meals! And I went to Frankfurt a week ago because I met a nice person who offered free airplane and bus tickets, and also I stayed there for free.

I know this post little bit random, but if you were staying far away from your family and felt scared, don’t be. Mostly, when you’re under uncertainty circumstances you will find 2 things:

First, the best of you to deal with the problem, and

Second, there will always be helped from people around you. You know, you won’t be alone, ever
