It's been more than a year I've been home again.The journey to the land of Oz is now over. I just have to wake up from a very beautiful dream.
Life when you're home again after being so long at other land is not easy. I knew it, but I didn't know it's gonna be this hard. Not that everything I experience after my homecoming is all gloomy stories, but it's harder.
One thing for sure, the people that once you left are not the same when you come back home.Or maybe, it's you that have changed. I do admit it. I've changed a lot. Australia has turned me to be someone else. Some changes are good, but others \.. well.. not that bad.. but somehow, people around find it difficult to digest. The truth is, you can never replace the time that you've missed. Two years is not a very long time, but it's quite significant to make you become a "completely new student in the class" again. Forget about the jokes, sad feelings, and joyous you didn't know about. Below are some big obstacles you will face once you're home again and follows by some tips from me to overcome it all, and once again become a winner in your own life.
1. Family
My first three months at home was completely hell. I have some quarrel with my c\siblings. It's the hardest time ever. I couldn't imagine how great our relationships now every time I look back at that time. How did I face it. Stick and stone baby,...Keep rolling. I used to be frank, and I am still frank. I know it's not good to be honbest without being tact at the same time. But truths are truths. It's better someone close to you reveals that compared to insignificant others.
2. Finance
Daaaamn!! I can't believe I will be this broke. My financing is way worse compare to me before leaving to Australia. I can't believe it. I went straight to work two weeks after arriving safe and sound at home. I brought back some money home, but then... where has it gone. I didn't spend myself, I am a frugal person TBH. I helped my family out and it left me nothing. So, I've worked like a dog for the past year and got savings. But hey... Look what I did... I spend it again ,,huge amounts.. For having a better place to sleep and live. I guess it makes sense.I mean, I spend it for some good cause, but still I am so poooooor.
Not to mention, I have nothing left, I've debts, lost my phone (Iphone6- Someone stole it GoddamnIT!!), no savings. Wadafaaaaak!!! I didn't prepare this. It's too much now.
3. Society.
When you live in a community that has some standards, duuuuude.. You will face some shits! You can go work everyday without being judge, "When will you get married?" (For God sake, I really want to reply, "When do you think you're gonna die?". It's mystery!!!You !!!!
And to make it worse, your family is a part of the so0ciuety, so of course they hold the same value so dearly. What can you do with your MASTER DEGREE if you're just ending at ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!? I've got this not only my colleagues, but also my relatives. "It will be hard for you to get a partner!!", "You're old and have so many degrees.. You'll end up alone and lonely!", YOU THINK!!!!
COme on people.. what's so wrong with our society. Being a teacher is a very valuable job on earth,"Pekerjaan Mulia" I may say.
SO.., STFU!!!
4. Friends
Since your leaving, your friends were getting married, have babies, moving to different parts of the world. And you will end up sitting in a cafe all by yourself. It's not that hard thou.I am a bit introvert now. So,let's take that as an advantage. Chin up.. MOve ooon
MY goooosh... Why did I stop writing??????
It's a soothing activity, and I am feeling a lot better now. And YOU!! The one who stole my phone, my your soul be burn in hell!!
