The Strength Of The Heart

I watched an interesting movie yesterday called Closed Note. It’s a Japanese movie. I’ve just watched the first 50 minutes and haven’t continued it. But I am not going to tell you what the story about because usually I will write it on review section. All I wanna say is there was one scene, one quoted that I really like in this movie.

“Suddenly, I remembered the phrase ‘the strength of the heart’. Everyone possesses strength in their heart. I wanted to tell the kids, we have the power to succeed in anything.”

Strength of the heart. After I watched it, I thought about it for a minute. And I feel that I agree with that line. If only we all believe that we have a power, a strength in our heart, we might can succeed in anything. I don’t know why, but that line of that movie touched me. Inspired me. To know that I can be anything I want, because I’ve already had a power in my heart. If I wanna be a novelist, I have a power to make the most amazing story in the world.

So I decided to start believe in my heart. And you should too. Because if you believe yourself, your heart, you can do anything you want. Like my favorite quote.

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen“

Once you decide to believe in yourself, I believe you can be succeed in anything. So, come on make the power of your heart stronger by believe in yourself.

What Is The Right Future For Me?

Future. One word that I’ve considered all of time.

‘What are you wanna be?’

I want to follow my dream. Becoming something I wanna be. But how if people think you’re dream just waste your time? How if people start to underestimate your dream? Should I give up or still go for it?

It’s really confusing for me. Is it wrong to have a dream as a novelist? Make more and more stories for people for the rest of my life? I just.. don’t understand. When my family ask me about what major I will take in university after I graduate from high school, I simply answer that I wanna be a novelist so I wanna take English Literature major. I feel that English Literature major is the best major that would fit for me.

And when one of my friends ask me and I give the same answer, they don’t believe it and keep saying, “Really? You wanna do that?”

Is there something wrong? Is English Literature sounds really uncool for them? Should I choose a major that sounds cool such as Business? But I don’t wanna be a business-woman like my brother. Beside being a novelist, I wanna be a film maker. For example, being the scriptwriter or maybe the director. But my parents seem don’t agree with my choices. They keep saying, “What would you gonna do after you graduate from university?” I just can sigh.

It’s really complicated. What’s wrong of being something I want? What’s wrong of following my own dream? What’s wrong of that? If only I can find the best answer to explain it.

The Beginning Of My Blog

Hi, everyone. Let me introduce myself to all of you. I’m Maya. I’m Indonesian. Now I live in Jakarta. When I was I child I ever lived in Pittsburgh. And it was an amazing experience for me. Now I am attending 70 High School International Program Grade 11 and still seeking a scholarship so I can study abroad in the future. Well, I wanna come back to Pittsburgh someday.

Since I was 8, I like to write stories. In the beginning, I like to write fairy tale stories, but afterward I started enjoying write a casual story. I’ve tried make some novels but none of them has finished. Hahahaa. I wanna be a novelist or a movie maker because I like read novels, write stories and watch movies.

I like Japanese stuff. Guess I like their culture. I hope someday I could go to Japan too. It would be an interesting experience. Actually, I love learning new cultures. I already tried learning Japanese and it was interesting! But I haven’t continue it because of my study. I’ve already learned Hiragana, Katakana and several Kanji. I wanna be able speak Spanish, Italian, Germany, Korean and Mandarin. Lots of languages, huh? Hahaha..

And then.. hmm, what else should I say about myself?

Well, as the title, this blog will be a jornal of my mind. I will post my thought about everything. Maybe I will do some review and telling my experience. So, thank you very much you have read my first post. I hope you will come back again to see my other posts. See ya’!
