I Present You…
Me…Agnes Monica
That quote has given me a
lot to think, a lot to do, and a lot to give to this life. I believe
that history is not equal to the future, but it could be, if we don’t
change, if we don’t move from our comfort zones and start contributing
goodness and perfections in our lives.
My dream is go beyond what I think I can and to do more than what it takes.
Music has been in my life since
I was born. The music has become myself. I’ve always wanted to share
what’s in my heart through music, so that the world would feel.
Unsurprisingly, the road for me to go there is not always easy. I’ve
been bombarded with struggles and underestimation as well as winnings
and elevations. But it never brings me down. I have gone through
tiredness, boredom, desperation, tears and more tears. I have felt
underestimated when people looked down on me. But thank Jesus, He lifted
me up by giving me too many blessing to count. He promoted me to higher
places. It does not make me satisfied and arrogant, but it does remind
me that He wants and allows me to do more.
I never thought that I have to
put that much of efforts. I never thought that I have to put that much
of energy in order to keep that motivation fires up in me. Not
mentioning my own battle against a wrong paradigm that lives in the
society. Somehow, there are a lot of people in my country who thinks
that to have a big dream is a ‘mistake’ and that it is arrogance. But
hey, everything starts with dreams and visions. And I have the eyes of
faith to see the coming true. After all, I have proven them myself.
It’ not about winning once, but
it is about the constancy of winning. And I want to be the person who
experiences those winnings.
Sometimes as a runner, we have
to step back a few steps to run faster and jump higher. And sometimes as
a painter, we have to step back to be able to look at a larger view and
clearer picture.
Someday, I will sit down and
reflect myself in the mirror. I would never know what would I see, but
one thing that I know, I would never let myself regret for who I will be
because what I did in the past. This is my time. This ‘now’ will be my
‘past’ in the future. And now, I’m seeing my self in the future, sitting
down on the couch, feeling like a winner, thinking back and smile
because I have done such a great job to be proud of.
Those winnings are not for me,
but they are for each and every single person in this world who still
believes that they can and that everyone deserves equivalent chance to
win; despites what circumstances they are facing.
I have prepared,
I have planned,
Now it’s my time to live,
And let the winnings live in me.
