​I Want to Wake Up All Night and All Day, Not Caring for Any of You

Lately, I cannot relate to any of you.
I don’t understand the language.
I don’t agree with the thoughts.
I don’t know that kind of feeling.
I don’t find it attractive.
I don’t want to know all the extra details.
I don’t want to be asked.
I don’t want to tell you stories.
I want to be invisible (but sadly cannot).
Maybe I’ll build a wall and dig gutters (so you will not see any of me).
The truth is, I’m afraid not to be like you,
where I’m supposed not to.

But for now, let’s build a wall, dig gutters, and be invisible.

Starting July

Since today marks the first day of the official working day for most of Indonesian people, I think I will start the month of July with the intention of writing a lot of posts here.

Last Ramadhan is a busy month for Kawung Living, we racked up a lot of orders due to the promotion here and there (terpujilah mba-mba LINE Shopping & Dekoruma). The new product addition of Eid Hampers made more purchases than we thought it would be (which made my thoughts fly off to Christmas Hampers earlier than it should be :P). We sent a lot of bulk offers and deals to clients, waiting to (hopefully) be finalized on early month. We agreed to take 2 weeks off any business related and focused on ourselves and our families.

Since my family didn’t plan to go anywhere this Eid, I decided to scan my sketchbook and digitizing my handwritings. I didn’t socialize that much this Eid, I barely went outside my room. I spent the entire week so focused on the task and hungry for more. I love how the learning curve of each projects that I’ve done this past year. I have many solutions for each problem, get craftier on shortcuts, and thankfully get things done much faster.

And if you notice, I add another banner on the sidebar titled SHOP @ uncletivo. You can now buy items I made on my spare time while not working on Kawung Living. I draw a little bit of line when making Kawung Living’s products and sure there is a limitation when it comes to the line of products that I can make.

Things You Don’t (Really) Need

I want to buy a new pair of double tip marker and spend a lot on a rounded corner craft cutter.
I want to have a Wacom to trace all my handwriting because I’m tired of using a mouse.
I want to get a Pantone book so I don’t need to argue with my fabric Vendor anymore.
I want to eat at an all-you-can-eat meat buffet and take 2 scoops of Italian gelato.
I want to walk in a flower pattern shoes and grab a handful of sample sale shirts in my favorite clothing store.
I want to take return tickets to Taipei and have all the street food and milk tea in a night market.

I want many things.
Things that I don’t really need.
But feeling content doesn’t involve new things.
Feeling enough doesn’t need many things.
And today, among other days, I think I don’t need any more than I already have.
