Personally, I yearned to be devoted to a person. I fould it beautiful to have all worries and tiredness lifted up knowing I would return home to meet someone I devoted my life to. But I couldn’t lie.
Are you really sharing or judging?
Recently, I promised myself to hold my judgments when talking to others at least until I have to or they ask me to. I decided that active listening is paraphrasing not summarizing, it’s mirroring, not leading, and it’s clarifying, not judging. That promise was put on test yesterday.

Bersyukur di ujung usia ini masih diberi kesempatan berkarya bersama orang-orang hebat ini. Hey malaikat, saya masih (ingin) berkarya.
