Epilogue // Prologue

Hi everybody. Good evening. Adel’s here.

First of all, happy new year 2020!

We have made it to the brand new year, in one piece with our sanity intact. Congratulation folks!

It’s been quite some time since I write a post. Please forgive me. I am currently doing my last clinical rotation. And in fact, I am having my final regular exam tomorrow and … I still choose to write. As the clock ticks, my anxiety keeps on getting on the way of studying so I might as well write some steam off. This almost always works. Anyway, back to the main topic.

Here’s the update of my life.

First, again happy new year 2020! It has been a very wet-day of January around Jakarta today. Flood is back in town, back to being trendy after taking some time off (Thank you Ahok for those years :”)). Thankfully, there’s no flood around where I stay and where I work but I heard some news of blackouts at the hospital. Lord knows how tomorrow will go. My exam is scheduled around 1 PM. No one knows whether he gonna show up or not due to current situation right now. The sky still cries as I type in these words so… we’ll see. I can only hope for the best and let God do the rest.

Second, I have almost finished re-writing my June section of the second Half Hearted Gypsy. Yes, you didn’t read it wrong. In case you are not following me on Instagram (@genoadella :")) or not reading any of my post(s) before, I am planning to release a sequel to my first book, Half Hearted Gypsy : Records of the broken and the damn. It will still be about love but this time the book will view it from another perspective. She’s no longer a sad, sappy, longing and angry gypsy. She had decided to move forward and heal from all the heart breaks. This book will highlight how she transforms from being very emotional to a calmer woman. It will also show how she might not make the wisest decision along the way, on how she might have hurt people, be it her family, close friends and/or short flings that actually tried to help her heal faster. On how she tried to accept and embrace all her feelings instead of bottling it up and lying to herself of being alright. I don’t have a release date yet. I will announce it as soon as I can but I hope you guys stay tune to my Instagram and keep on showing massive love and support towards the book. I am forever grateful and you guys rock! :) #HHGtwo

Third, I have made my 2020 resolution. One, to keep on doing my healthier lifestyle. To going to gyms, eating clean and having a more organised room and schedule. To finally use the agenda my dear brothers and sisters had given to me so I won’t forget any deadlines or important meetings ever. Fingers crossed. Two, better time management. Massive massive change that needed to happen very very soon! Three, to actually explore the ideas I have in my head instead of just dreaming of doing it one day. To actually calculate the cost and benefits and try. To having no regrets and fun experiences! 

Fourth, to finally let go of HIM. He got back together with his girlfriend. SUCK.

I know, I know. On my previous post, I seemed to be able to accept the state we’re in but truly knowing he got back together with his old partner is … God damn annoying. But to think about it now, I really thank God for showing me the way or lighting the bulb inside my head that it’s really time to not give “us” another try because there’s nothing left to try. We just couldn’t seem to work and there’s nothing to fight for, to hope for and definitely to linger on. I ended whatever expectations I had left 2 weeks before having the final call. After that call, I do feel super liberated and funnily, my friend told me that I looked “fresh” and kinda had a different vibe just right after I settled things down with him. So I guess, this time I really made a right decision. I can tell you that I had moved on completely and is now on a journey of finding myself back. To piecing those little bits back together, to make me whole. Hopefully, I get to do that very very soon and be in the best version of me. I owe myself that.

Welcoming mat, punching sack no more.

Bye, you.

It’s been one interesting filled with up and downs journey. Ooh, you can take back your always. I won’t be needing it anymore :)

Lastly, I am very shocked. My academic advisor suddenly mentioned the possibility of doing DBC concert again. I guess my first post really stirred some conversation up. Honestly speaking I am super hyped about this but learning from my past, it’s best to keep thing slow and expectations low. I’ll let you guys know how it goes. To another October concert I hope. Amen :)

And that wraps the whole update. I hope you guys had awesome new year’s eve celebration last night. I also hoped you guys had wonderful quality time with your loved ones.

Thank you for your time, support and attention.

Love, always and forever!
