Starting Out Artist

Hello! Thought I'd write a short introduction. Hopefully this is the start of my artistic journey on tumblr. I say 'hopefully' due to the fact that finding a place on the internet right now (2024), to post my art portfolio, is rather a difficult task. I've tried most generic sites that you'd think about in the current time. That said, the current time is a ruff wave for artists right now, as we all know with the rise of advanced tech.

Right now my artistic journey is in a mess, I say this because I have no idea what my 'niche' or 'subject matter' will be. Growing up drawing anime style characters I admit has become a comfy zone area. Not very good at drawing full bodies mind you! There's so much more to art and MY art that I could be exploring & developing, my other passions is where I plan to start. Here I am, to share my art & meet some lovely new faces. Welcome to my art home. Thanks for reading :) ((There was a time I spent on tumblr, nearly 10 years ago, it's good to see it hasn't gone, completely. I remember the Homestuck community on here from 'back in the day'.))

My life's inner work, or shadow work, has continually consisted of doing the work of cleansing the window of my mind, that it may become a mirror reflecting inspiration from the most High.

I do this, not with strenuous effort, but through quiet contemplation, through gently reaching and affirming an inward recognition.

Today I walk in the pathway of inspiration. Said inspiration intuitively guides my creative processing of ideas. I honor my boundaries, personal space and privacy so as to not ever step out of the creative flow of energy I've devoted myself to. There is an inspiration within me which governs every act, every thought, with certainty, with conviction and in peace...

Dad Wiesław, 87 years old, full of health and joy for life, drives a car, picks mushrooms, 'hunts' with binoculars, but what he loves most is reading good fantasy. As he says, the secret to his vitality is the love for his children and staying in good contact with them.

Investing in Yourself: The Ultimate Power Move

In a world that constantly tries to pull you in a hundred different directions, the most important investment you can make isn’t in stocks, real estate, or even Bitcoin—it’s in yourself. That investment doesn’t have to look like any one thing; it’s a mindset, a commitment to forward motion, no matter what form it takes.

The Many Faces of Self-Investment

Investing in yourself can mean:

Learning a new skill or refining an old one.

Taking care of your physical and mental health.

Reading, researching, and expanding your knowledge.

Surrounding yourself with people who push you to be better.

Setting goals and actually working toward them.

Taking risks that align with your long-term vision.

Financially positioning yourself for the future by adopting sound investment strategies.

It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress. Every step forward, no matter how small, compounds over time. Just like Bitcoin’s steady block confirmations, each effort builds on the last, creating something unshakable.

The Cost of Stagnation

If you’re not moving forward, you’re falling behind. The world doesn’t stop evolving, and neither should you. The worst thing you can do is remain stuck in place, whether due to fear, doubt, or the illusion of comfort. Growth isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.

Think about it this way: Every time you invest in yourself—whether it’s through education, discipline, or self-care—you’re upgrading your operating system. You’re future-proofing yourself against stagnation, irrelevance, and regret.

I’ve personally seen how self-investment pays off. When I first started learning about Bitcoin, I didn’t fully understand the scope of what I was stepping into. But through constant research, engagement, and reflection, I was able to see not just financial potential but a paradigm shift in how we view value and personal sovereignty. That level of insight didn’t come from staying comfortable—it came from a commitment to learning and adapting.

Dollar-Cost Averaging into Bitcoin: One of the Best Investments

When we talk about investing in ourselves, financial literacy is a key component. And one of the smartest financial strategies you can adopt is dollar-cost averaging (DCA) into Bitcoin. Instead of trying to time the market or chase quick wins, DCA allows you to steadily accumulate Bitcoin over time, smoothing out volatility and ensuring you’re consistently growing your holdings.

This approach is simple yet powerful. Whether you invest $10 a week or $100 a month, the key is consistency. Bitcoin is the hardest form of money humanity has ever seen, and by steadily stacking sats, you’re not just securing your financial future—you’re also making a conscious decision to step outside the traditional financial system’s instability.

Think of it like investing in your future self. Just as you build knowledge, skills, and resilience over time, stacking Bitcoin consistently puts you in a stronger financial position down the road. Those who started DCAing into Bitcoin years ago are now reaping the benefits—not because they tried to game the market, but because they had the discipline to stay the course.

Keep the Momentum Going

Self-investment isn’t a one-time thing; it’s a lifestyle. The goal is to become a person who constantly seeks improvement, not because you aren’t good enough as you are, but because you recognize your own limitless potential.

So whether it’s hitting the gym, diving into a new book, sharpening your mind, or making smart financial moves like DCAing into Bitcoin, make the choice today to invest in yourself. Your future self will thank you.

Tick Tock, Next Block.

Insight of the day

5 April 2025 - Ka @atika_cahyaa - Ruang Temu Space & Coffee Pwt

Kita ngga perlu nunggu baik 100% untuk bermanfaat buat orang lain. Karena hidup ini adalah perjalanan untuk terus belajar dan menebar kebaikan sesuai potensi masing-masing.

Kita semua itu sebenarnya tidak krisis potensi. Hanya saja mungkin untuk menemukannya butuh proses. Makanya tugas kita adalah menemukan potensi itu dan menjadikan apa yang kita kerjakan menjadi bermanfaat. Apa yang kita kerjakan di dunia menjadi teman perjalanan selama hidup.

Kadang kita merasa belum bisa berkontribusi untuk lingkungan, ngerasa ilmu kita masih dangkal untuk menyampaikan sesuatu. Kadang kita ngerasa ngga pantas untuk "menjadi", akhirnya tetap menunggu di zona nyaman dan entah mau ngerasa pantasnya kapan. Sebenarnya, kita bisa loh, 'berjalan sambil belajar'. Karena memang orang sepinter, sejenius apapun, ia akan terus berproses dan terus belajar. Setidaknya, nyala manfaat ilmu itu untuk menerangi diri sendiri dulu, outputnya nanti insyaAllah Allah akan hadirkan orang yang ngerasa kehadiran kita ada impactnya. Mungkin dari tulisan yang kita share di sebuah platform. (Melihat zaman sekarang, betapa berpengaruhnya influencer. Ratusan bahkan ribuan influencer kebaikan, di ranah bermacam-macam. Itu akan sangat berimpact bagi kebaikan dakwah Islam)

Maudi Ayunda pernah bilang, kalau hobby nya itu belajar, ia sangat suka belajar. Respon kita mungkin makna "belajar" adalah di bangku sekolah, lalu kita bilang "kok bisa, suka belajar?" Namun pada akhirnya kita akan paham, belajar itu bisa sambil nongkrong, sambil ngopi, nge-camping bareng, ngobrol dan sharing, berbagi insight buku, rihlah. Jadi kapan kamu mulai menyadari, kalau belajar itu seasyik itu! :))

Kalau kerja sudah jelas memberikan keuntungan materi buat kita. Tapi rasanya kurang deh, kalau jiwa volunteer kita ngga tersalurkan. Kurasa beruntung sekali jiwa-jiwa yang terpaut rasa demikian dan akhirnya tak ada alasan bahwa setidakmenguntungkannya suatu pekerjaan dan membuat kita tambah capek di samping pekerjaan kita, ada Allah kok yang melihat gerak kita di dunia. Hikmahnya, "untung" nya pasti ada dan dapat kita rasain.

Kita perlu teman untuk berjalan dalam kebaikan. Karena berjalan sendiri memang bisa cepat, tapi berjalan bersama akan bisa lebih jauh.

Banyak di media ada konten "ngaji yang dimaksud orang itu ngaji baca Quran, ngaji yang gurunya di mimbar." Tapiii sebenarnya, maksud kita tuh, "ngaji ya 'belajar Islam secara kaffah.' Belajar Islam dari dasar." :D Yang mungkin ketika kecil dapet ilmu itu sepotong-potong dari sanlat, atau banyak pertanyaan yang belum terjawab selama ini, -yanggg ketika kita ngaji sekarang itu, bikin "tambah cinta sama Islam, ngerasa disayang banget sama Allah, dilindungi oleh syariat-syariatnya." Kayak misal ada slogan "Islam itu Indah" ternyata indah beneran loh!

Satu lagi, ngomong-ngomong soal pasangan hidup. Kita itu perlu banget sama dia yang bisa mendukung apa yang mau kita terus lakukan. Yaa kalau kita suka traveling, suka berkomunitas, -suka apapun itu selama orientasinya baik untuk diri sendiri dan berdakwah -dia bisa mendukung, bukan membatasi. Semoga kita sama-sama beruntung ditemukan oleh laki-laki teduh dan makin semangat buat tumbuh bersama itu yaa.🫶😁

My teacher brought me down to a B- when I was at an A. She never said that we had to share our journal entry to the whole class 😭

Anyway, my friend brought me into a family plan for Duolingo <3 She's awesome, and she is studying Spanish as well.

Teaching Our Kids to Thrive in an Ever-Changing World: Moving Beyond Skills to Mindsets

Education and employability have always gone hand in hand. For thousands of years, parents passed down skills to their children that would help them survive and thrive. It started with hunting and gathering, then moved to farming and metalworking. Each generation taught what they knew, confident that these skills would keep their children fed and secure.

As time went on, the world changed, and new professions emerged—things like accounting, carpentry, science, and medicine. Parents would teach these trades, sure that they’d provide a steady life for their kids. But now, with the rise of computers and technology, everything feels like it’s shifting so fast. The jobs that once seemed like sure bets—like doctors, lawyers, and engineers—are transforming, and some are disappearing altogether.

In our parents' generation, IT jobs were just starting to boom, and if you got in early, it felt like you had it made. But now, fields like social media influencing, big data analysis, and AI are popping up. Even just the other day, my husband, who's deep into tech, said the “next big thing” might be prompt engineering—creating the right instructions for tools like ChatGPT to generate anything from art to code.

It’s honestly hard to keep up. As parents, we’re left wondering: What should we tell our kids? How do we prepare them for a future that feels more uncertain than ever? We want to guide them, but it’s tough when the world around us is changing so quickly.

After thinking about it a lot, I’ve come to a realization: maybe we’re focusing on the wrong thing. Instead of just teaching specific skills, maybe we should be focusing on traits. What really matters now is giving our kids the mental flexibility to adapt to whatever comes next.

We need to teach them to be agile—not just physically, but in how they think. We need to show them how to learn, so they can teach themselves anything they’ll need down the road. They have to be comfortable unlearning things that no longer work and relearning new ways to solve problems. We need to help them break free from old ways of thinking and show them how to make their own paths. "Thinking outside the box" doesn’t cut it anymore—there’s no box. They’ll need to be able to think from multiple angles, solve problems in creative ways, and adapt to whatever challenges come their way.

But here’s the thing: our education system isn’t quite keeping up with all this. It’s still focused on memorization and testing, not on teaching kids how to think critically or adapt quickly. If we want education to stay relevant, it has to change. The future won’t just need kids who know a lot—they’ll need kids who are creative, curious, and able to roll with the punches. These are the traits that will help them succeed in whatever the future holds.

Maybe this is why so many parents are turning to alternative education systems. More and more people are looking into options like the International Baccalaureate (IB), IGCSE, and even schools focused on hands-on learning, like farming schools. They may not be perfect, but they’re trying something different—something that acknowledges that the world has changed, and education needs to change with it.

For example, IB and IGCSE place a huge emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and applying what you learn to real-world problems, rather than just memorizing facts for tests. And then there are schools focused on nature-based education—farming schools, for instance—that teach kids to be resourceful, resilient, and connected to the world around them.

None of these alternatives have all the answers, but they’re trying. They’re making an effort to rethink what education should be. They understand that what worked for previous generations might not work for the ones coming up. They’re focusing on teaching traits, habits, and mindsets that will help kids thrive in a world we can’t fully predict.

There’s no “perfect” education system out there yet, but the fact that these alternatives exist shows that we’re starting to understand what kids really need: not just knowledge, but the ability to adapt and learn in an ever-changing world. These schools aren’t just teaching facts; they’re teaching kids how to learn, how to adapt, and how to thrive, no matter what the future looks like.

As parents, we might not have all the answers, but we do know that the future isn’t about following a set path. It’s about learning how to carve out a path of your own, to tackle challenges, and to think in new ways.

Maybe that’s the best preparation we can give our children. Instead of focusing on specific skills that might soon become irrelevant, let’s focus on equipping them with the traits, mindsets, and habits they’ll need to adapt, create, and lead in a world full of uncertainty.

I was convinced that an angel sent you. I envisioned a halo above your head, though it was the sun. Nothing could convince me that you were not the one. I would have given you my last even if it caused me suffering because I loved you just that much. Honestly, I was just happy to be seen, to be known, and to be loved. To be held, to be kissed, and to be adored. I cherished every single second of our love as if it were the only dose I’d ever receive. Because at the end of the day, it was always you for me.

Now I realize that you were never angelic. Better yet, you weren’t even close to being the one for me. I was attached to the feeling of what I wanted us to be. But I do not settle now. I know there’s someone who will never neglect the love we chose to share. I know there’s someone out there who will always choose to care. Because love is more than a feeling; it is an action. And the way you have been acting shows me you never really cared. I realized the love was as visible as air.
