"The Art of Leaving"

I read motivational quotes by @tinywisdom through my instagram account this morning.

"The art of leaving"

I have left home when I studied at college for four years. I rarely went home that day. 

I did everything by myself (ex: laundry, prepared breakfast and dinner, did my homework. Those were not perfect at all, but I know that I've been grown from girl dunno anything about world then must know anything about herself to support herself all alone. But people still get it wrong when meet me at the first time. 

"You must be the last children in your family, the golden child" No, I am not. 

"Oh, I thought that you are the youngest child in your family, because you look always cheerful and happy" Alhamdulillah, but instead of the last child or youngest child, I am the eldest child. But, I understand why people see me like youngest child. 

Because of that, I think it's good enough to leave home once again in my 25s ages. So, I know if am I ready to take care myself alone? am I ready to the next chapter in my life?

But suddenly, my thought flies about my parents going older everyday. I afraid if someday I will lost them or maybe they are afraid of losing me to? This decision should be my helpful part for my journey as an human, as me. 

"I don't think you were wrong for choosing yourself"

"I don't think you were wrong for leaving home"

Maybe, for once again, I should leaving home to choose myself and my journey.

But, I will always going back because home is where my mother detected.


All of us experienced the art of leaving in many ways at once at the minimum. How to leave our bad past, how to live the full life, and another how to get meaningful life. We can leave if we need. 

But, don't forget to be back to home again.
