I’ve been in Jakarta for 3 years… I want to cry and laugh
So it’s like this bro… life as an overseas child isn’t as beautiful as people say
“Wow, it’s nice to live alone freely”
free yes… free to think about when to pay the boarding house, what to eat tomorrow, how to spend the money
but I found the right way to stay sane + live peacefully abroad
this is my version… maybe you have other tricks

KOSAN JUSTICE
Well, this is really important bro…
I once had a fight with a landlady because I was 3 days late in paying
since then I’ve been using the “smile + bad language” stance
Every time I meet my boarding house mother, I greet her with “how are you, ma’am?” I’m poor
the result? when I was late in paying, I was given leeway… peace bro, peace

EATING TIPS
I used to buy Nasi Padang for 20 thousand every day… I was broke a week
now I’m cooking noodles but I upgraded
boiled noodles + egg + chili + sauce… I call it “rantau sultan noodles”
So you won’t get bored + your wallet will be safe… your stomach will be full and your heart will be happy

HOMELESS Tricks
This is the hardest, bro… every weeknight is so quiet
I used to cry in my room… now I act like a VC but I don’t talk
I asked, “What are you cooking at home?” “What are you doing?”
Just hearing their voices makes me calm… I miss the medicine a little

FRIEND’S JOKE
In your hometown, your friends are your second family…
But don’t make the wrong choice… I once had a friend whose hobby was borrowing
Now I just use “frequency friends”… which is the same as being broke
so if you hang out, it’s 10,000,000… peaceful, no one feels like a loan
You don’t need to be proud… you’re broke, you admit you’re broke… you miss it, you just say you miss it
instead of being depressed, even stressing yourself
So what about you, bro, you’re also an overseas kid?
Is there a surefire way to stay peaceful overseas?
spill dong… I need knowledge too… who knows if there is a crazier jutsu than mine
We are children from overseas… far from home but close to our hearts, bro 😂
