Each morning I get up I die a little, can barely stand on my feet, take a look in the mirror and cry, Lord what you're doing to me? I work hard every day of my life, I work till I ache my bones. At the end of the day, I take home my hard earned pay all on my own - I get down on my knees and I start to pray till the tears run down from my eyes, oh Lord what you’re doing to me? I'm ok, I'm alright, ain't gonna face no defeat, I just gotta get out of this prison cell and (one day) someday I'm gonna be free, Lord! Everyday I try and I try and I try, they say I'm goin' crazy cause i got no common sense, Lord!
(Somebody To Love - Queen)

Her value is high so I have to push myself hard to get past my limits so that I can have the same value as someone I love. I work every day for wages that are not commensurate until (one day) someday I come home with wages that are commensurate and i meet her, "hi, i’m worthy of being loved", yes it’s very difficult to approach someone who has high values. My best friend is a witness to how fast my development will be in 2024, my best friend is my helper when I lose myself, my best friend always wipes away my tired tears, and my best friend always helps me to get her.
2024 is the year where I experience extraordinary changes, I become increasingly crazy to develop myself in order to achieve my dreams. Lego cherry blossoms are a symbol of my struggle for one year to be equal to Sakura, someone I love (my future silk), I found myself.

This article was inspired by the song Somebody To Love - Queen and the Lego that my best friend gave me at my graduation, November 5 2024. He really understands that I really want to have Sakura, someone I love (my future silk) so the gift he gave me was Lego shaped like a cherry blossom. All my efforts in self-development for my future and finding somebody to love, I’m feeling lonely, my best friend witnessed it. Thank You.
I'm Cathrine Djojonegoro say thanks to Mattheo Tanuwijaya (my best friend, my one piece of Aurora) who always watches every detail of my process
