Sparks
I hope the sparks to writing again recently will not disappear so fast. I realize I am focus more on my progress in life instead of enjoying the moment for a sec. Let say writing is my virtual “Pit Stop” from reality so I can be grateful with the life that I get.
The office life can be consuming. I try to allocate my energy to do my hobby, so I will not forget who I am. Running is one of activity that can give me joy in the middle of chaotic life. I keep tracking my running data to see my progress. It’s like a small win in life for me when I know I make a progress in running.

The only moment I can be free from any expectation is when I am running.
It’s exhausting. Draining my body energy. But a the same time it’s give me hope. The proof that I can do something in life. After many stupid failure that I did in the past.
Berry Putra, one of my role model in sport (Bentang Jawa 2026 finisher), one said on his threads account that we shouldn’t define our identity by our hobby. We must enjoy the hobby it self (correct me if I am wrong hahaha). I will do my first half marathon in 22 November 2026. I just realize I am so focus preparing my self for it. I almost forgot why I’m running at the first place.
Anyway, have a good day!
