Wow interesting
Today is May 1. The first day of Mental Health Month. This entire month we want to nudge all of you to celebrate triumphs, acknowledge struggles, and just come together. Let other people know they’re not alone. Feel less alone yourself. It’s what Post it Forward is all about.
One of the incredible ways you—all of you—have helped shape Tumblr is with your ability to be open and honest. It was you that turned this platform into a community, one based on genuine expression, creativity, and acceptance.
Glad you asked! Each week, for all four weeks, we’ll be giving you ideas for ways to Post it Forward.
Week 1—Post it for you: How you practice self-care and personal well-being.
Week 2—Post it for each other: Ways you can be there for each other.
Week 3—Post it for reflection: Sharing stories of personal growth and development.
Week 4—Post it for the future: Committing to continuous reflection and improvement.
This week is all about posting for you. Acts of self-care. Here are some places to start:
Post an emoji spell for self-care and positivity. 🌈 🔮 💕 🌱
Share a photo or GIF of something that calms you down. Don’t have one? Here’s one.
What’s the one thing that always cheers you up? Post a photo of it, take a GIF, or illustrate it. Toss a sticker on it, if you’d like.
Never forget that you are valid! Post a selfie with “valid” sticker (see below).
Make a list of things you like about yourself.
Make a checklist of 5 acts of self-care you promise to do for yourself this week.
Make an audio post with a song that helps you zone out and re-energize.
Don’t forget to tag all your posts with #postitforward this month! It makes it easier for everyone to find each other’s contributions.
We’ve asked our pal Tumblrbot (@tumblrbot) to help out with any extra encouragement you might need. Try sending them messages like “tell me about Mental Health Month” or “what’s this week’s prompt?” Tumblrbot will let you know what’s up, because Tumblrbot is a friend to all of us.

Salah satu hal yang bisa aku syukuri saat jarak tempuh antara rumah dan kantor memakan waktu kurang lebih 1 jam menggunakan kendaraan pribadi. Disaat itu aku mulai mencintai dinamika jalanan. Rute yang saya lalui antara pulang dan pergi selalu berbeda. Rute yang aku lalui pergi tanggal 1 dan pergi tanggal 2 juga tak sama. Apalagi saat pulang, dikala senja, aku bisa lebih dari 1 jam untuk sampai rumah.
Jogjakarta, suatu saat anda akan bersyukur pernah mampir atau singgah bisa jadi juga mungkin pernah menjadi bagian dari hati-harimu. Benar adanya, setiap sudutnya selalu punya cerita. Dinamika jalanan jogja ? Sampai sekarang bagian mana yang belum aku lalui ? Menangis saat melewati jalan ring road barat ke timur sambil memutar tilawah atau musik kesukaan dengan volume maksimal adalah suatu yang melegakan, merasakan gang-gang penuh dengan polisi tidur yang tidak manusiawi di daerah kota yogyakarta adalah rute andalan untuk menghindari lampu merah. Melewati malioboro yang tidak pernah berkembang jalannya tetapi volume kendaraan yang setiap tahun bertambah tentu saja traffic dimana-mana apalagi saat libur anak sekolah, bus pariwisata adalah alasan utama untuk bertambah lama dijalanan,
Kini, jalanan begitu berbeda, dinamika ini membawaku di satu garis stuck yang membuat hati ini menangis setiap pulang kantor. Kendaan membuat yogyakarta menjadi lebih sepi dan kesepian. Sunyi ini menunjukan hal-hal yang biasanya samar dijalanan.
Terlihat jelas,puluhan muka lesu pedagang jalanan yang sepi pembeli, tukang sol sepatu yang ketiduran, tukang becak bermata sayu, tuna wisma yang ketiduran di trotoar. Tak terhitubg jumlahnya. Aku kaget dengan jumlah mereka yang begitu banyak? Apa karena keadaan ini mereka jadi bertambah banyak mengisi jalanan ? TENTU TIDAK ! mereka selalu ada disana. Hanya tak terlihat.
Hiruk pikuk jalanan yang selama ini membuat keberadaan mereka SAMAR dijalanan, kini semua terlihat jelas. Kesenjangan itu ada. Kapitalisme verrikal berbicara atas sunyinya jalanan. Tidak ada pilihan !
YaAllah aku tahu, jalanan ini adalah dinamika, dan aku berdoa seterusnya akan selalu menjadi dinamika berjalan secepat Engkau menggerakkan hati nurani kami.
Subhanallah , so many sight-of-landscape to seeking every positive side of life (hikmah)
Jika kamu pernah ditinggalkan, atau dikecewakan, atau tentang apapun yang membuat hubunganmu dengan seseorang menjadi tidak begitu semenyenangkan dahulu. Entah tentang pertamanan atau kisah cinta. Kemudian kamu melihatnya hari ini, orang itu tumbuh bahagia dan sukses bahkan mungkin kamu merasa dia segala lebih darimu. Lebih bahagia, lebih sukses, segala kelebihan yang membuatmu mungkin sedikit iri.
Maka, berbahagialah.
Sebab barangkali memang harus demikian ceritanya. Dan kamu adalah seseorang yang menjadi jalan baginya untuk mendapatkan apa yang dia dapatkan saat ini. Dan kamu adalah seseorang yang menjadi perantara pembelajaran-pembelajaran berharga yang berhasil dia ambil dalam hidupnya.
Meski, mungkin itu harus membuat hubunganmu dengannya menjadi tidak menyenangkan. Tapi bukan di situlah titik fokusnya. Melainkan tentang bagaimana setiap orang sebenarnya menjadi perantara orang lain dalam meniti takdirnya, memperoleh pemahaman dan pembelajaran hidupnya.
Seperti setiap hari kita bertemu dengan banyak orang, dari mulai pedagang di pasar, tukang parkir, supir bus, dan orang-orang yang tidak kita duga silih berganti. Barangkali, dari pertemuan tak terduga itulah pembelajaran hidup disematkan, juga takdir kita kemudian bekerja, dan bisa jadi berubah.
Jika kamu kemudian mengeluh dan bertanya-tanya mengapa dia bisa menjadi lebih dari kamu. Pertanyaan itu justru lebih layak ditanyakan ke dirimu sendiri, apakah kamu sudah berhasil mengambil pembelajaran dari kejadian yang menimpamu dan orang tersebut?
Jika dia berhasil, mengapa kamu belum juga menemukan pembelajaran itu?

Well, recently I was moving on from someone that Ever I said as “Home”. It was ridiculous! But I promise to myself that Everything okay within 2 days. When the new week is coming, I should rise up and stand by my new rule.
I realized that my day will cover of grief, pain, and insecurity. But we look up all of the terms from those all. The wave of emotion, unstable mood, all of the above will hug me tight.
As my heart began to long more and more for the life I envisioned, I started researched, reading all genres of books, planning new projects, and Less then 2 days I moved.
But, This is the way of Grief. She comes in waves, and if you listen to her often, she’s gentle as can be. She’ll guide you to what you need, and if you honor her requests, she’ll continue to set you free over time.
Be tough, Be brave, and cheer up, The life will so delightful in the next day :)
