Gw lagi mikirin lagi sebuah ide yg gua dapet pas tahun ke-3 di kuliah. Tentang anak muda Indo, tentang politik, tentang presidental voting. If I wanna get serious in this, I better start doing my research and getting acquainted again with my country. Is this it, or just do it?

There is a need to be met, and it takes a fully functioning Johanna to do it - or at least gather enough people to work together. I want to make myself remember that I am not alone in this world.
