#ILOVEME

It was very difficult for me to embrace myself. I don't remember exactly when it was started. Umm, when I was on elementary school, I guess? Evey single member on my big family told me that I'm such a fat pig, and they started compare me with ms sister and my brother which was so much thinner than me. I know I know, it was a joke but, boom!! Voila! The main effect of those joke I never accepted myself. I mean, I often mocked myself in front of the mirror and told to myself how fat I am. I felt insecure of myself, everyone looks so pretty and thin, and look at me such a big-foot-girl. And yeah, I hate several part of my body (include my foot).

I felt more insecure when my family member started to criticized my appearance, not just about my fat body. They started to criticized my hair, my face, even my pimples. I did hate my hair, I remember when my brother yelled and point at me "Medusa" or "Bird's nest" he was too much about my curly hair. I think it was the reason why I straightened my hair. The fact, I often compared myself to the other when I crushed on somebody and ended with feeling inferior (maybe that's why difficult for me to get in relationship). And sadly, even if many of my friends told that I'm not fat just ideal weight (it was 48kg/160cm) but I still can't believe it.

(When I was freshman year college, I felt kind of freedom where I can whatever I want and no need to care about other thing because my family away. But the only way for healing myself was drawing, drawing about myself. That was the reason why I always keep myself as a muse of almost all pictures I made, I want to love myself. And from drawing, I can learn to love myself. No, I'm not self centered. This is just a kind of medicine for myself to accept me.

My friend just asked me to join her campaign about self-love and confidence embrace our body. I do really want to love myself and educate women about love their body because we deserve more love to ourselves. #loveyourself!!

Fifth Step: [REVIEW] COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream

 Menyadari kalau perlu moisturizer yang bener-bener melembapkan dan bisa nge-seal semua produk dan kelembapan di kulit dengan maksimal, aku nggak bisa pakai mosturizer yang ringan.I need heavy-thick texture moisturizer, tapi dengan kandungan yang tepat buat memperbaiki skin barrier. Setelah liat page Sociolla.com beberapa hari, pilhanku jatuh pada COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream ini. Moisturizer ini bener-bener nggak neko-neko dan gimmick-ish gitu, straight-forward untuk melembapkan kulit karena ada kandungan Hyaluronid sebagai bahan utamanya.

Apa yang Lucu dari Pelecehan Seksual?

Sumber gambar:  https://relationship.popbela.com/single/dinalathifa/pelecehan-seksual-2 Saya mendapatkan pelecehan seksual sejak saya duduk di bangku sekolah dasar. Sekolah saya merupakan sekolah yang religius, membawa nama salah satu agama di sini. Tidak ada yang namanya aurat--yang selama ini disalahkan--terdapat di sana. (Pada saat itu) pasti tidak pernah terpikir untuk mendapatkan pelecehan dalam bentuk apapun, tapi teman laki-laki saya berkali-kali mencoba membuka rok saya secara paksa, tanpa consent saya. Lalu saya-lah yang merasa malu dengan perlakuan mereka. Sementara mereka? Tertawa, seakan pelecehan ini lelucon belaka. Menginjak semasa SMA, pelecehan seksual rupanya tidak berhenti begitu saja. Tak terhitung berapa kali merasa tidak nyaman ketika teman laki-laki saya bersorak ketika saya lewat, kadang sendiri atau bersama teman, terkadang juga meneriaki kata-kata yang membuat tidak nyaman. Saya menunduk malu dan takut. Sementara mereka? Tertawa. "Ini kan cuma lel...

When I Were a Boy

Look a little different than you are used to? Why not? Well, actually I want to try a little thing which is I never do before. A little changes on my style, a little sense of boyish. Now I just wanna think like a boy with their paradigm about girls. Sometimes women want to be understood in a way that is difficult to understand way by men, well c’mon girls!  Boys aren't a gypsy who knows everything on you mind. The boys need you to speak up what you want and don’t. But, the girls think that the boy must be known about every code that girls gave. When the boys said “umm, I think you need to changes you attitude about….” Don’t be mad at him immediately, they said like actually for your own good. He won’t you are mocked by the other people. So, the girls must think about the boy’s suggestion. If it can changes you into the better one, why not? But for girl, if your boy too depresses you for become the other one, you have to be careful! The boys prefer choose a girl with a ...
