My Impossible Goals

Aku baru saja menonton video dari salah satu Study-Tube favoritku: Unjaded Jade. Biasanya dia membagikan tips belajar, motivasi, dan tips-tips produktivitas lainnya. Lalu, aku menonton videonya tentang impossible goals. Dia dulu pernah menulis impian-impian tidak mungkinnya berupa mengawali Youtube, diundang ke TV, keliling banyak negara, dll. Bahkan di video yang dipublikasi dua tahun lalu itu dia menyebut bahwa dia ingin menulis buku dan mempublikasikannya. Sekarang, buku Jade Bowler tentang study tips sudah terbit dan menjadi Best Seller.

Well, sebenarnya aku sudah pernah menulis impossible goals-ku di buku harian. Namun, aku jarang membuka buku-buku harian lagi dan lebih suka mengetik di blog atau Notion. Tulisanku juga sangat regres, sekarang jelek sekali. Kata Mamakku bahkan lebih tidak bisa dibaca dibandingkan dengan tulisan adekku (fyi, tulisan adekku sudah jelek sekali). Jadi lebih baik diketik saja dan mungkin dipublikasikan(?).

Kenapa harus dipublikasikan? Sama seperti tulisan-tulisan lamaku yang bercerita tentang kesedihan dan kebahagiaan, aku ingin tulisan ini menjadi saksi dari proses perjalanan kehidupanku. Well, sekarang, tulisan-tulisan lamaku itu bisa aku baca kembali sambil tersenyum. Dulu sesedih itu, ya? Dulu pernah sebahagia itu, ya? Dulu pernah menulis impian-impian ini, ya? (OMG, syukur-syukur impossible goals ini nantinya bisa jadi kenyataan)

Let’s start!

I know if you—my reader—maybe have some kind of thoughts like what I mentioned before, but really, the tittle is “impossible goals”. Just make it fun (but well, I still want to fight for them to be real).

Then, what about you? What’s your impossible goals?
