Thank you, God, for everything from yesterday until today. My belly has always been full, even though I just stay at home all day without working at all.
Thank you, God, for the good news I saw on WhatsApp Status. I read that one of my teachers has become the rector of my former university, and I am really happy to hear that. May You always bless my three teachers with long life, good health, and abundant sustenance.
There’s only one thing I regret: that I didn’t continue my studies at that university because I no longer had a scholarship. To get another one, I would have needed an international certification in IT.
If I could rewind time, I would go back 28 years, right after I graduated from junior high school, when my father broke his promise to reward me for my high grades. That day, I earned the second-highest rank out of more than 30 students. My heart broke when my dad refused to give me the prize he had promised. I thought that being a “bad boy” would get me more attention from him than being a good one.
I wish I could turn back time and escape from that house, though I wouldn’t know where to go. My dream is to have my own home in Bandung or South Tangerang, away from my toxic family.
