thinking about my daily life

In our younger days, we used to think about what it would take to become successful. Now that I have a family of my own, however, those thoughts have faded; what matters most to me now is simply ensuring my family’s needs are met and that they are well provided for.

Sometimes, these feelings are difficult to share on social media, yet I often find wisdom and perspective from the friends I have here...

There are moments when I feel like I might not be capable of doing all this for them, but I always strive to do my absolute best for my family...

I work as a fisherman in the Aceh Darussalam province. I face many of life's obstacles, and although my work takes me far away from my family, I deeply desire a good life for them—unlike the chaotic life I’ve led...

The daily grind sometimes leaves me feeling exhausted, but I cannot afford to give in to that fatigue; I have a wife and children to care for. They truly need me, and if I don't work hard, what can I provide for them? They give me the strength to carry on, even when I have to weather storms like the one we are facing now—we’ve been stuck here for a week.

There is nothing we can do but wait for the weather to truly clear up before we can resume our work. That is the reality of being a fisherman; there are so many obstacles in life that must be overcome.
