Originally written in Bahasa Indonesia.

Sometimes we must make a big decision. It's not easy, not at all. The nights only grow longer.

For the sake of inner peace, we are willing to let our hearts become wounded.

Painful.

But pause for a moment. Such is life. As the saying goes, there's no free lunch in this world. The same goes for peaceā€”it doesn't come easily. For everything we wish to gain, there will always be something we must let go.

Believe that it is all worth it. For the peace that will embrace you in the end.
