Cerita Mudik (Pulang Kampung) di Tengah Pandemi

Buat gue, anak rantau since 2011, pulkam alias mudik udah jadi hal wajib yang rutin dilakuin kalo pas ada kesempatan. Jaman kuliah pulkam bisa satu semester beberapa kali. Tergantung ketersediaan ongkos (mulai ga enak kalo keseringan minta duit). Paling lama waktu ketabrak jadwal magang, 5 bulan ga pulang sampe mau lebaran baru deh mudik (kalo ini lebih ke soal waktu sih, bukan ongkos). Ini nih pertama kali ngerasain vibe mudik, dari Jakarta pulak pulangnya waktu itu (kalo ga salah).

Pas udah kerja, pulang bisa lebih sering, alhamdulillah udah ga perlu minta-minta ongkos lagi buat pulang, jadi bisa sebulan atau dua bulan sekali pulang. Bahkan kalo puasa, bisa di awal puasa sama akhir puasa sampe lebaran. Iya emang gue kerja di media. Tapi alhamdulillah dari tahun pertama dulu, lebaran pertama selalu bisa pulang. Walopun tahun pertama kerja cuma dapet hari pertama sama hari kedua. Tapi yaudah alhamdulillah.

Sampe akhirnya si pandemi ini menyerang. Baru pernah sampe setahun kaga pulang. Literally SETAHUN. YAA ALLAAAAH. Lama bener setahun kaga pulang woy, gimana Bang Toyib yang 3 kali puasa 3 kali lebaran kaga pulang?

Hello 2021, Bye 2020!

 Ga berasa ya, 2021 udah jalan seminggu. Berasa ga sih? Gue sih enggak. Macem numpang lewat aja jadinya. Walopun agak telat gapapa kali ya say goodbye dulu ke 2020 dan ngasih sambutan ke 2021. 

Thanks for the tough year, 2020. I can't still imagine how 2020 just passed with just little memories. But it's a blessed when you got through 2020 with good health. Hope this sickness will be cured soon in this new year. 

For you, 2021, hopefully you will be wonderful year, not just for me, but for everyone. Give us tons of happiness for joyful life. I hope I'll get what I dreamed about. I need to make or get new experiences, challenges, chances, skills, knowledge, and of course friends.

I'm curious about how my life will be going. I hope that'll be super fun. Whatever happens just let it go. My life should go on no matter what. My goal in life is to make the people around me happy with what I do. That'll make me happier 😉

It's easy to say. But I think it'll be harder when I try to do. I should be a tough person to achieve, reach, and get whatever I want. Don't be silly! Don't be whiny! Keep fighting! 화이팅!
