Hello everyone 👋, I'm Riyan Utomo, 22 years old. I'm originally from Yogyakarta, but now I live in Kebon Jeruk , South Jakarta. I currently work as an online motorcycle taxi (ojol)🛵 , where I ride around on my motorcycle every day, delivering passengers , food , or packages, depending on the orders that come in.
In between waiting for orders or during breaks, I often think, “I think it would be fun to write stories like this.” But yes, sometimes I doubt myself. "Who wants to read stories from ojol like me?"
Until I found this platform: Hive.
At first, I only saw it from my sister, then I got curious and decided to create my own account. It turns out that Hive is not just about writing - it's also about sincere sharing, about how people from different places can support each other through their own stories.
I'm actually not very good at writing. But I believe that everyone has a story worth sharing , no matter who they are, what they do , or where they live. And I believe that simple stories from the streets of Jakarta can also have meaning if written from the heart.
I like to notice the little things. The friendly passengers, the smiles of women who have just been shopping, or sometimes just the afternoon sky that has an unusual color. All of that makes me want to tell stories. Not because I want to go viral or get famous, but because writing is a way for me to get my thoughts out - so they don't keep piling up.
I wrote this on my cell phone, while waiting for an order. No laptop, no cool tools. It may not be the coolest writing , but it's sincere from me.
I hope that in the future I can write more diligently , share more courageously , and get to know many new friends in this Hive community. Thank you to those of you who have taken the time to read this.
I hope this is the first step in my long journey at Hive.
-greetings Riyan 🛵📱
