PASSION: Kenapa Susah Banget Nyari? |
Today kita bakal ngomongin that one question yang somehow lebih complicated dari pilihan topping pizza! 🍕
Listen up Guys, kita semua pernah kan ditanya "passion kamu apa?" dan suddenly our brain goes completely blank kayak hard disk yang baru di-format! 🤯
Dan jangan mulai deh sama social media yang somehow bikin everyone else look like they found their calling at age 3! Meanwhile kita masih trying to figure out apakah kita suka kerjaan kita atau cuma attached sama gajinya! 💸
Speaking of existence, what's with society yang normalize turning every single hobby into side hustle? Sometimes drawing is just drawing, not a potential Instagram business! 🎨
But you know what's the real tea? The absolute panic yang muncul pas realize our passion might be something kecil, like organizing Spotify playlists atau hunting promo Shopee! 🤡
Dan please, special shoutout buat keluarga yang somehow selalu punya opini tentang career choices kita! 📚
The pressure buat follow dreams but make it profitable is literally exhausting! We're out here balancing what we love, what pays, and what won't give our parents stress! 😮💨
Let's break it down Guys! ✨
- The Myth of Early Passion 📱 - Remember pas jaman sekolah kita ditanya "Kamu mau jadi apa?" And somehow everyone expects kita udah punya detailed 10-year plan complete with backup plans? Like, hello? I'm still figuring out why my Indomie doesn't look like the one di iklan!
- Social Media Pressure is Real! 🌟 - Every time buka Instagram, there's always that one person yang somehow jadi successful entrepreneur at 22, punya 5 businesses, dan masih sempet workout 2x sehari. Meanwhile, kita masih struggling buat bangun tepat waktu! But hey, what they don't post is the behind-the-scenes chaos, sleepless nights, dan countless failures yang nggak pernah masuk feed!
- The Side Hustle Culture Trap 💼 - "Turn your hobby into money!" they said. But Guys, sometimes reading is just reading, not a book review business. Gaming is just gaming, not a streaming career. Your morning coffee routine doesn't have to turn into a coffee shop business plan!
- Family "Support" System 👨👩👧👦 - Shoutout to Asian parents yang somehow always compare kita sama "anak tetangga" yang udah jadi dokter, while kita masih exploring options! The classic "kenapa nggak jadi..." conversation during family gatherings is literally a core memory at this point!
- The Reality Check Corner 💡 - Let's be honest, sometimes yang kita passionate about itu nggak selalu bisa jadi source of income. Dan that's totally okay! Your passion for collecting vintage stamps atau memorizing song lyrics dari 2010 might not pay the bills, but they make you happy!
- The Quarter-Life Crisis is Real 🎭 - Raise your hand kalo kamu pernah overthinking at 3 AM about your life choices! That moment when you realize maybe your passion isn't what you studied for 4 years in college. Plot twist: that's completely normal!
- The "What If" Game 🎲 - Every time ada job opening yang interesting, kita main "what if" game. What if I quit? What if this is my true calling? What if I end up loving this new path? What if I don't? The endless questions yang bikin kita scroll LinkedIn sampe jam 2 pagi!
- Money vs Passion Battle 💰 - Let's address the elephant in the room: sometimes we choose money over passion, and that's valid! Bills need to be paid, lifestyle needs to be maintained, dan BTS merch collection nggak bakal beli sendiri!
- The Permission to Explore 🌈 - Here's your sign to try new things! Maybe your passion is hidden in something you've never tried before. Take that random class, join that weird workshop, atau explore that unusual hobby!
- Plot Twist: Multiple Passions Are Valid! 🎨 - Who says you can only have one passion? Maybe you're passionate about technology BUT ALSO love baking! Maybe you're great at Excel sheets BUT ALSO amazing at poetry! You're not confused, you're multidimensional!
The Bottom Line 💫
Your passion journey doesn't need to look like anyone else's. It's okay to still be figuring things out at whatever age you are. It's okay if your passion doesn't make you money. It's okay if your passion changes over time!
Remember Guys, sometimes the best passions are the ones that just make you smile, not the ones that make your bank account happy. Those random things that make you forget to check your phone? Those count too!
And if you're reading this while contemplating a career change atau scrolling through job listings... know that you're not alone! We're all just trying our best to figure out this thing called life! 🌟
PS: Masih questioning your life choices? Same Guys, same! But hey, at least we're questioning together! 🤝
PPS: This article was written while simultaneously applying for jobs, organizing Spotify playlists, AND overthinking about tomorrow's lunch choices!
