Toxic Indomienity

Before we start, I have to warn you that this post will be in the English language (you may have a headache later cause my brain still has no place for grammar thing). Also, I try to see how good is Grammarly works to reconditioning my lacks. Hehe. So there is the exit way, but if you decide to continue, please bear with me.


Who doesn't like indomie? If you are Indonesian and you hate indomie, something wrong may happen to you. The taste of indomie really hit every single side of your tongue and you barely can ignore it. You are denial if you say that is not good (I exclude healthy thingy, cause I'm not an expert).


Back then, when I still a college student, Indomie becomes my second parent. I really can't imagine if indomie doesn't exist in this world. I maybe can't finish my study. It is true, cause I consider indomie as my superhero (especially when a hard time come to hit me on my face [another means: have no money to fulfill my ego stomach]).


Two things that make me consider indomie as my superhero. First, because it's super cheap. I remember watching a video about people getting breakfast in a random country with 1$. Most of them get a little amount of food (or I can say just a "snack") with 1$. In Indonesia, if you buy indomie with 1$, it is enough for your family to eat for breakfast. I don't know why indomie is so cheap and so yummy at the same time. Moneytalks don't belong to indomie.


Second, indomie is super duper easy to cook. Even you are an amateur in the kitchen, you still can cook indomie perfectly. You just need a pot to boil the water. That's it, perfect, trust me. The magnificent thing is you don't need a boyfriend to cook indomie (don't mock, it's very important to me).


But recently and randomly, Indomie really getting me on nerves. It's because of it instantly. Within two minutes, the perfect food ready to serve. How can it work like that? It's insane and inappropriate. In this life, if you want something beautiful, you have to go through a long painful process. I still remember my parent always taught me that. You must have a tough heart and mind so you can enjoy the proses (even tho its painful enough to bear as a human).


Indomie is one of many products that taught us to instant success. After graduating, you have to get work immediately. By 25, you have to become a successful manager in prestige company. By 30, you have to have children and a house for your family. So after 30, you can enjoy your moment and bath with your abundance of money. It's ridiculous but most of our community believes in that (rather than belief in God).


For you young people, I don't tell you to waste your time but to live it correctly. Don't rush, enjoy every single moment. The length of the process may differ for each person, but one thing we should believe that we are correct in our ways. There is no standard to judge your struggle, go on with your style as long as life make you excited enough to continue your journey.


Indomie maybe not a good example of explaining how life should be done, but you can still eat it with a scrambled egg. Cheers.


Side note: Grammarly really helps! You should try it; very easy and understandable.
