I'm sure, everyone is never okay. We don't even know what that person is experiencing, even though that person is smiling in front of us. That's why, we must respect every person's life.
This time, I was on a trip to another city accompanying my husband for work. He asked me to be a friend while driving so he wouldn't get sleepy.

As day turned to night, we decided to stop at a toll road rest area. Previously we had dinner at someone's house we were visiting. So, we just looked for snacks.
My husband just needs to rest for a while so he won't get sleepy when he continues driving the car later. Meanwhile, my eyes fell on an interesting outlet. About tofu.

Because I am a tofu lover, I immediately invited my husband to stop by that outlet. Called "Tahu Sumedang". Tahu means tofu, whereas Sumedang is the area where tofu is produced.
There are many types of tofu in Indonesia. There are types of tofu for side dishes, there are also types of tofu specifically for snacks. like the type of "Sumedang Tofu".
The characteristic of "Sumedang Tofu" is that the outer surface is brown, while the inside of the tofu is not solid, there is empty space inside.
It creates an exciting sensation when the crispy outside meets the empty space so that it looks "broken" in the mouth. Oh, sorry if my explanation is too difficult to understand in English. What is clear, this tofu is very delicious.
It's been a long time since I ate "Sumedang Tahu" since I no longer worked in the capital city in Indonesia several years ago. Glad, I can find this outlet.
"Sumedang Tahu" served with spicy sauce. Also, fresh small green chilies. My husband's favorite is spicy. Ehehe
Apart from tofu, I bought a hot coffee at a different outlet. Right next to "Tahu Sumedang". Pointcoffee. One of the coffee franchises, the popular one in Indonesia usually they opened the outlet in the rest area on the toll road.
I ordered a brown sugar latte. My favorite one. The aroma of coffee is uplifting.
My husband and I talked about many exciting things, especially watching the cars passing by. We joked about what it would be like to be certain people who are so successful.
Then I laughed, everyone has their own path to success. Also, when we reach this point there will be other people who want our position.
So, when we are tired, don't complain. Instead of being jealous of other people, we just need to rest for a moment and then move forward.
Are we aware that each of us has our own role in this life? For me, I just want to do my best and contribute to other people. I'm sure, when we are still given the opportunity to live, God wants us to do something that will definitely be useful for other people. It's not all about yourself.
So, stay stronger, everyone. ❤️
