The Weight of “What If”


After reading a quote on page 16 of the book Baca Buku Ini Saat Engkau Lelah, I feel like it really relates to my life. The quote says that people feel life is heavy and tiring, and the words “what if” can make someone stop at a certain point and skip some parts of their life, until they lose their balance. When I read this, I realize that I often do the same thing.

Sometimes I keep thinking about “what if” too much. What if I made a different decision, what if I didn’t do something wrong. These thoughts make me stuck in the past, and I stop focusing on what is happening now. It feels like I pause my own life just because of my own mind.

I also notice that because of this habit, I lose my balance. I become more tired, not only physically but also mentally. It’s like I am carrying things that already passed and cannot be changed anymore. Instead of moving forward, I stay in the same place.

From this reflection, I learn that maybe I should not let the words “what if” control me. I need to accept what already happened and try to continue my life step by step. Even if it’s slow, at least I am still moving.

This quote reminds me that life is not about going back and skipping parts, but about continuing the journey, even when it feels heavy and tiring.
