The project I had been doing for the past 4 months came to its end. That could only mean one thing, I need to go back hustling and working hard.

I talked a lot about reset for quite many years until only these past few months I felt what reset truly was like. And this journey is another chapter in my book.

For someone who used to have certain conveniences to not having any, I am being reminded one more time that to live, it is not that expensive. However, what is expensive is our ego which then manifests into a lifestyle.

We forget that all that matters in life can be quite simple. As long as we have a comfortable bed, the ability to eat, some form of connection, we can be content.

Many of us, myself included, live in a world with dozens of options. We live in a place where there's a cafe on every corner, shopping malls right across the block, conveniences 24//7 that makes us think we constantly need more.

During my time in Papua, I learned that I wasn't actually snobbish about my coffee. I can drink anything as long as it has a higher content of caffeine and sugar to support my work. All this because there weren't that many boutique coffee shops in Jayapura. So, my options were limited and I was fine with having an occasional Starbucks trip or some boutique cafe once in a while. Unlike at home or any megapolitan cities, coffee shops are a daily trip, in fact a 24/7 ordeal sometimes. My coffee expenses used to be worth half of my own income, which can be considered a bad addiction so now I set up a good budget for this addiction.

Long story short, since then many things have changed in my life, including the way I see myself and the world around me. I am being reminded once again, of a younger version of myself, hungry for success and wasn't quite picky about things. She simply uses what she was given and leverages it.

My other aspect in life is being reset to 0 as well, finance, career, relationship (family and friendship) included, as well as my faith too. It wasn't just the simple reset, it was the reset that threw everything off balance and eventually the kind of event that made Thanos snap its finger.

I even carried out an aura, “ she's starting out in life again”, that made some supportive family and friends tell me, “ we're excited that you're coming back to life”.

For quite many years, I had that blockage. By that I mean, I kept talking about reset, wanting to have that reset only those that were performative. These days, it is no longer performative. This is the reset I wanted – The Great Reset.

I've finally let go of guilt, shame, pride, and my ego. My mind is at its calmness level like I've never been before & I am more than content and excited to see how my life will turn out in the next 10 years. In hindsight, saying yes to be sent to Papua, wasn't such a bad deal. It was the respawn moment in my life.

Hope you guys are doing well.
