Peer pressure, a fecken curse
So I've spent years attempting to better myself, keep the poise to the point of perfect zen, to distinct myself out of the pack.
Naah .... just didn't work!

Sebagai bagian generasi X-/-Y, saking membingungkannya, dan under 26's, sebagian besar para temans kini telah sibuk menyebar, memfokuskan diri ke hal yang mereka tekuni.
Setelah bertahun-tahun hidup saya berselimut solitude, saatnya bertemu dengan kawan lama dan, seramnya!, membandingkan catatan.
Jadi si KLM sekarang telah menjadi seorang CPA plus gelar MBA.
Sementara QQQ kini membanting tulang hingga jam 2 pagi di lawyer firm terkemuka di kota ini.
Kalau si C, ia baru saja menerima tawaran job paket USD 200 000 (bukan lagi pakai mata uang lokal!).
Dan si D ... o la la, ia baru saja meneken kontrak beli rumah pertamanya.

Dan diri saya, jangankan pekerjaan berangka fantastis, gelar pendidikan pun hanya biasa-biasa saja. Master's Degree belum terpikirkan, postgrads cuma lihat di selebaran.
Harus melihat ke atas (mereka) atau ke bawah (mereka lain yang lebih biasa-biasa lagi). Ah bingung.
Atau ... pindah domisili ke Bhutan, di sebelah Nepal, di mana Gross National Happiness lebih penting dari nomor upah, ukuran dompet serta gelar akademis.
Atau mending cari bini aja, kawin, beranak pinak bak kelinci liar di padang savannah Afrika Utara.
Beh ... questo mi dà proprio fastidio. Che stronzo......
Bordel de merde ! Putain ...
Hey ... at least I'll get to see French and Italian films without having to struggle with subtitles and crap translation ─it is going to be the case in the next two years.

Peer pressure is, in general, uncool in the manner it shits ya up, VILE!

Or ignore it when it hits you, as best as you can. Live up to your own standards, that's what I always say :-)
You've 2 spend your hole life 2 better yourself. As life goes on.. Do wat ever u wanna do.. Jumpa "temans" akan membuka wacana & wawasan tentang diri & hidup..
Just keep trying to open up and grow, salah satunya by "jumpa temans"..
Peer ? What peer ?
Well, I've been telling you to work for the same organization as I am .. hehe.
At least you have more chance to practice your language learning, and the possibility to be in Africa is also bigger. Trust me.
LOL
peer pressure? i'm sorry, but you're not 15, are you? ;)
my dear, when you're over your adolescence, you keep peer around you to support you, to help your self-improvement, to keep in touch with other humans to make sure you're not turning into a hermit, or just to take them for granted. *LOL*
life's to short if you're living it feeling pressured.
quarter life crisis? :p
diatas langit masih ada langit...nanti kesandung kalo liat keatas melulu...
@yu
hwalaaaah... ternyata ada juga yg lagi senasib mikirin ginian :p
huahuahua, lihat aku aja (liat bawah?). 27, ipk 3-0,05 yg seringkali berarti tidak cukup cerdas. 6 tahun untuk lulus undergraduate. tidak ada pekerjaan tetap. freelancer sejati. traveller wannabe. mengagumi italia, memimpikan jerman, sementara belum pernah sanggup membayar ongkos les di goethe, apa daya sekarang sibuk menterjemahkan itali karena terpikat mahluk ajaib domisili itali. dan berjuang menyelesaikan studi dasar jari-jari pada piano. hihihi.
just live your life happily. i had the same experiences with you. and make your own world. you go, mach! :D
