On Sarah Urie and Kindness

In one of my recent posts, I talked about kindness as one of Hufflepuff's trait. 

I'm a Hufflepuff but I never consider myself a kind or nice person. Some experiences make me think to myself, "Maybe some people don't deserve my kindness." So, I confess, I may act nice but I often have "unkind" thought of what I could do when someone do or say unkind things to me. 

One day, I found Sarah Urie's instagram account. At first I felt something strange. I didn't know. She did nothing wrong but I felt strange. Later I knew it was because of her bio. Her bio is changed now but when I first saw her instagram, it said, "🐝 kind" Can you view the bee emoji from computer? 

What's wrong with that bio? Let me tell you, I spent times trying to conceal myself and selecting few people who deserve my kindness then this woman named Sarah said, "Be(e) kind" to my face (well, I face my cell phone so technically she said in to my face online). What?! Who does she think she is, telling people to be kind? She just doesn't understand the "bitter consequence" of being kind. Maybe she doesn't understand. Or maybe she understand that some people are horrible but she thinks it's still important to be kind anyway.

So I think I need to thank Sarah Urie for giving me perspective that it's all right to be kind. Also, I thank her for giving me idea to write some blog posts (seriously, this is important).

My Story with Instagram

I have recently made instagram account to support my friend. My two friends join "Duta Mahasiswa FK" competition. It's like medical student version of beauty pageant but there are also male contestants. One of the judged criteria is how many accounts like their instagram photos. 

Those two friends are Denata and Gani. Both of them are also candidates of my campus representatives for Indonesian Medical Olympiad in digestive system field. Denata is also a dancer while Gani is a mountain climber.

You can see Denata's photo here and Gani's here. If you have instagram account, please support those two amazing people by liking the photos.
