i guess i'll try to answer a few questions that are commonly asked when i say i'm a homeschooler. "what does it mean FOR ME to be a homeschooler?"

by homeschooling i'm talking about me not being enrolled in an education system. some call this unschooling, some called it homeschooling, i'm not one to fuss about this distinction since i've always felt that i was ALL OF THEM at the same time so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i spend my time learning what ever it is that i am interested in at the moment. i learned everything from programming, design, 3d modelling, video editing, philosophy, architecture, philosophy, spirituality, cooking, basketball, dancing, and so much more.

now... these are the things that i REMEMBERED. because, cmon. it's hard to remember all the things you learned ini the last 18 years especially when none of it felt like learning to me. it was just me going through my business, doing what felt right at the moment.

my parents always jokingly felt pissed by me not feeling like i ever learned anything, because i did learn things, i just don't think it as learning. i think it as PLAYING. though in order for me to feel that way they had to prepare a whole bunch of stuff and am grateful to them

take for example, learning english. i never felt like i learned how to speak and write english. i just INTUITIVELY KNEW. but... it's my second language, and from my parent's point of view it certainly was NOT something that i just knew.

while, in actuality they had given me both english and indonesian books that i had to read everyday, flash cards that we used to practice, and i had cable tv with d***ey channel and pla**ouse d***ey where i could listen to english everyday.

and this is evident in basically most of my journey as a homeschooler. never felt like i learned anything, because learning is just part of life. you don't remember every meal you eat right? same here. but they do stick with me. i did learn stuff.

for more of the day to day stuff, it'll have to wait until i can go back to my house to pick up my book because i genuinely don't remember it off the top of my head. you can prompt me, and ask about a specific part and i'll recite it perfectly. but unprompted? just part of life
