So the last few days have been absolutely crazy. I finally know how it feels to be a twitter famous. And let me tell you: it feels hilariously awesome I decided to do this blogpost. Two posts in a week? That’s gotta be something really special going on, right?

It started when I was in Singapore. A friend of mine whatsapped me, asking, “what to do when people talk shit about you?” So I gave this person a lenghty explanation. Apparently it was good enough for her and she thanked me and I think, hey, why don’t I tweet about it? Imagine the retweets count I will get! And I was right. It went viral even though it was tweeted in the dead of the night.

A friend: Lex, lo lagi dinyinyirin, tuh..
Me: uhm okay. So?
Friend: lo… kok diem?
Me: i’m busy enjoying my life, darling. pic.twitter.com/r6rSyQf7i2

Me: if they don’t feed you, buy you stuff, paid for your business tickets, 5 stars hotels, fancy lunch or dinner, then why would you care?

You are the one who has control of your life. Don’t let people who talk shit about you make you forget that you are in control. You are.

You don’t live your life by seeking their approval, you can’t please everybody nor you should listen to whatever crap they spit out. Chill.

… and so on.

I thought it would be the end of it. But it went on beyond retweets and shit. That tweet exploded and there are, of course, mixed reactions from netizen yang budiman. People are starting to do their own version of the “I’m busy enjoying my life, darling”. And let me tell you, THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FUNNY. At first I didn’t know about it until my friend told me, hey lex, they’re doing ‘i’m busy with my life, darling’ tweets! You should check this out.

After that, I couldn’t control my laughter. Today, it hit me hard: I should do a ‘recap’ of these hilarious tweets, in a very proper way. So, have a read, and let’s laugh with me!

There are so many ‘i’m busy enjoying my life, darling’ tweets. If you wanna see them, just type on your search button on twitter. While I think they’re hilarious, there are some concerns like this one.

Why ppl hate your “i’m busy enjoying my life” sih lex? Udah bencik tapi tetep folo dan baca itu lebi ngeselin lohh..

Look. I think nowadays people are more and more easily offended by almost everything. There are a lot of bitter people, keyboard warriors who would do anything piss some strangers on internet, people who think they are the better one if they win an (unimportant) argument (me included, sometimes, when I’m on my asshole mode wkwk), and would be absolutely *win* if their post hurt other. The amount of hate you’d find online is staggering (cue: tab komen artis di IG or YouTube comment section). The fact that people use their time to craft some jokes based on my tweet is elating. Imagine a world where bitter and unhappy people finally realize that life is easier if they would loosen up a bit, and take the “I’m busy enjoying my life, darling” to the fullest. A much happier world, don’t you think?

Some even said that I’m being bullied. Oh, honey. Thank you for your concern but I think I know how being bullied feels like. And right now, I can assure you that I am fine. Life goes on as usual. I still cursed when I bumped my tulang kering ke pinggiran ranjang. I still visit my favorite touchscreen restaurant near my house (omg they open already how cool is that!), I still laugh over receh jokes like some of the above, and I still get paid to do what I love.

So yeah, thank you for participating. I don’t see it as an attempt to “bully” me or “nyinyirin Alex” or whatever people call it. So please don’t stop being hilarious.

And oh, these two good friends know me really well:

??????????????????????????
