This article is the English version of my previous article “Olahraga Bikin Hidup Lebih Hidup.” I decided to write the English version as my teacher suggested it.
Before posting this article in Indonesian, I hadn’t posted anything for around 6 months for some reasons, such as writer’s block and harsh life. Well, c’est la vie.
When I was disappearing, I focused on myself for I had a lot of disappointment, irritation, rage, and a self-acceptance issue. And I was fully aware that the thing that can save me is exercising, just like 4 years ago.

Nggak terasa udah setengah tahun gw nggak nulis apapun. Ada beberapa alesan sih, misalnya writer’s blockandlife was not easy. Well, c’est la vie.
Dan selama gw menghilang, gw berusaha fokus sama diri gw sendiri. Banyak kekecewaan, kekesalan, kemarahan, rasa nggak terima dalam diri gw. Gw inget hal yang menyelamatkan gw dari masa abu-abu gw 4 tahun yang lalu adalah olahraga.
Mulai tahun 2019, gw memutuskan buat olahraga tapi nggak mau keluar biaya, misal bayar member gym. Maklum gw berusaha mengikuti paham minimalism dan sebisa mungkin memilih buat mengurangi biaya yang nggak perlu. Akhirnya gw memutuskan buat body weight training.
