For most people who ever lived here, Bandung is a memorable city. ”
I do not want to work in a hectic-and-hot Jakarta, I want here in
Bandung where I could feel the wind breeze and where I don’t necessarily need to worry
about traffic. I do not want to move to my hometown in Bekasi where I could
rarely meet my friends, I want here in Bandung where I could meet my friends
anytime anywhere. I do not want to go back living permanently in my parents’
house, I want here in Bandung where I could have some privacy and where I could
manage my time without have to be monitored all the time.

As much as I want to make the pros and cons of Bandung and Bekasi
to prove that living in Bandung is way much better, I realized that opportunity
did not come twice. I also realized that taking risk is necessary because
unlike the predictable comfort zone, we never know where it will lead us. I
then decided to leave Bandung temporarily, for around 2 months, due to working
on extended producer responsibility project with Greeneration Indonesia and
Waste4Change in Bekasi.

I don’t say leaving temporary is easy. It’s nothing like leaving
your dorm room for college summer holiday. I never know will I come back and
live here again or will I come back only to pick things up. It’s hard, and I am
emotionally exhausted. I am not ready and I would never be ready. Yet, I tell
myself I leave Bandung for something worth it. For something I passionate
about. For something that would help me pursue my goal and live my dream. And
by taking this opportunity I would be able to identify what Bandung really
means to me.

To know where you actually belong, the only way is to leave, and
then come back. (Dee, on Akar)
