The world is very different now, from my perspective who has lived in this world for 34 years. As a millennial generation who follows all technological developments, I think now is a more terrifying thing than 10 years ago. Maybe it's because I'm starting to become an adult and progress at a more mature age. I don't know, I think when I was little, I thought about becoming more mature. However, being an adult is no different from having a lot of responsibilities.
One of the reasons why I want to be an adult is seeing my grandfather often drinking coffee on the terrace of the house. He seemed to be relaxing, while at that time I was a student who had to study every day, 6 days a week to wake up early and go to school. Seeing my grandfather sitting every afternoon drinking coffee was something I wanted. How could he be so calm living his life. I secretly sipped coffee from his glass, I was afraid that my mother would find out because I was drinking coffee. So, one of the things I did was steal from my grandfather. It turned out, the coffee was very delicious, no wonder he really liked the glass filled with that black drink, I thought.
Then I grew up and my mother couldn't stop me from drinking coffee. I love coffee, I almost can't live without coffee for a day. Every day I have a cup of black coffee with a little sugar for breakfast, at that time I didn't know what V60, espresso and latte were. What I knew was coffee brewed with hot water and sugar, then filtered, or cooked like Turkish.
However, after I grew up, it turned out that life was not as simple as my grandfather did. Maybe at that time my grandfather also felt that the world was not okay, so he preferred to sit on the terrace and relax, enjoying the weather and the plants that grew, people passing in front of our house while greeting, or, that cup of coffee that made my grandfather feel calmer because of the caffeine.
However, my dream at that time was too shallow. After growing up, I realized one thing that there is indeed no pleasant life. Like the earth spinning, unless you think that the earth is flat. As someone who believes that the earth is round, I think that life is the same as the earth spinning. I am sometimes on top, although often at the bottom.
Unconsciously, that thought always crossed my mind, what kind of world I want. Seeing many people really love the luxury behind social media. I thought, why can't I be like them who have glory. Really, who wouldn't be jealous of seeing other people's luxurious lives. It seems like everyone, except me, has a good life from their social media.
However, after 5 years of intense use of social media. There are so many lessons, that everyone will post what they want to convey, in the form of happiness. Who wants to tell the sadness of their life? They will be very afraid of being laughed at, or, something else will happen. For example, an indication of getting money, luxury and fame from bad things. Corruption, money laundering, or stealing other people's rights. It could happen. However, who would care. When everyone only cares about posts on Instagram. Not the process behind it all.
Call me Isdarmady, because I have a full name that is very long, namely Isdarmady Syahputra Ritonga. I am a head of the family who work as Farmers Vegetables Hydroponic and Consultant Hydroponics, sometimes I also sell coffee from various regions in Indonesia.
I have expertise dispensing coffee with a variety of techniques and tools brewing, because I have the desire to make a coffee shop with hydroponics as centerpieces. Help me realize that dream.
Thanks for read, vote, re-blog and support me in Hive. Maybe god will reward the kindness, let’s success together.
Social networks are like another form of advertising, like television, the fiction of each one. At least here we have a space to be more sincere and share realities, I feel Hive like that, although depending on each one, vulnerability makes us close.
Anyway, it has been interesting your story of the coffee, what lies behind a child's appreciation and what it turns out to be when we understand the world a little more.
Luckily, I only go on social media once a week. Just to see cute cat content, but every now and then there are some disturbing content and it's really weird.
You're only starting to become an adult at 34? Congrats, man, how'd you keep young so long? :D
I guess life can be pretty hectic sometimes, all the more reason to cut out the time to sit with a cup of coffee and be for a minute, eh?
My wife said, I am a stoic. But, suddenly I think of something outside of what I usually do.
Thankyou 😆
