Jumpa

Hampir tengah malam ketika ketidaksengajaan mempertemukan aku dengan kamu, Di antara mata-mata penuh kantuk dan asap rokok yang mengebul juga ditemani remang-remang cahaya serta alunan lagu mendayu-dayu yang berteriak dalam pelan dari sebuah radio baterei tua di pojok warung kopi; aku kembali menyapamu.
Masih tergambar jelas di anganku senyummu kala itu. manik matamu seolah merangkai kata-kata indah yang tanpa kau ucapkan lewat bibir dadumu itu pun aku sudah paham.
Aku mengangguk. Tersenyum.
Kau mengangguk. Tersenyum.
Dalam diam kita ucapkan salam perpisahan untuk tahun-tahun ke depan.

LOVE

is
   something
          that
                is
                   so close
that








I thought could be reached easily

yet                so                unattainable                in                  reality.

5 Things That I Love

Yes, this is 1 o'clock in the morning and yes I'm still awake so I come up with the idea to write a blog post about 5 things that I like
So... Here we go~

1. The sound of the rain and the petrichor that comes afterwards. For you who don't know what petrichor is, it is the pleasant, earthy smell after rain. They always give me this bizarre feeling. Both the sound of the rain and petrichor are so nostalgic and mellow, sappy and moving, yet at the same time are very calming and they also give me some kind of indescribable pleasure that makes me feel even more alive  *camera zooms in and zooms out*

2. Poetry. This, I think, is the best way to rant, babble, and just basically pour out your heart and opinion without being too blunt. I also realize that ever since I started reading poetry, I've become a more reflective person. Plus, the best thing about reading and writing poetry is: you can learn and endless amount of exquisite words. Boom!

3. Coffee. The scent of coffee gives me life and the bitterness in coffee is actually adding a hint of sweetness in my life.
***Uhm, what a good way to describe something, Lyd. :")

4. The sound of the sea shore. I mean, come on! What can be better than the sound of the swells racing with each other, trying to reach the shore?
.
Now I really want to go to the beach.

5. The color of the twilight sky. It's just amazing to see how the sun, with all of its humbleness, slowly creeping away from the sky to let the stars and the moon take its place. And I feel like instead of making the sky looks dreary while it is in transition, the willingness of the sun to give away its place for 12 hours allows me to experience such an enchanting view of the sky where I can see a fusion of colors that makes the sky looks even more captivating eventually❤

Senja Pukul Enam

Kepada rayuan matahari di ufuk barat:
Aku bersedekap khusyuk, dalam diam mengirimkan eulogi untuk pergimu dari horison yang hanya satu rembulan.
Lalu mengucap terimakasih dan melangkah di bawah langit yang mulai kelabu.

Something About Happiness

This exact moment of time; I wonder and ask myself: how many time have I experienced happiness?
This thought that I have, popped on my mind after I read an article titled Don't Wait to Be Happy.

For 18 years of my life, I have experienced some highs and lows. I have been in happy situations but also in upsetting ones. I'm not that typical depressed-all-day-every-day kind of person but that doesn't mean I am happy all the time either. Apparently, the problems that I have sometimes make me feel like there is no happiness in my life and that I should wait for the moment when I could finally find my happiness. The truth is I can actually find happiness around me without waiting for too long.

Just like you'll only feel relaxed after stressing out, you also won't be happy if you haven't had any hardship appeared in your life. I now have learnt that somehow I have to look out for trouble in order to pursue and find my happiness. Recently, I attended my university's initiation for the new students. It was pretty tiring for me, mentally and physically. But then, the day when the initiation was finished, I got home, sat down, and thought, "It is such a relief that this whole initation thing has finished. But I think I will miss that too," which leads me to another thought and that is, "how thankful I am to meet some new friends and to be able to socialize with such nice people."

Get the point?
You should not wait for happiness. I now understand that along with problem comes happiness although most of the time it is hard for me to keep believing that there'll always be sunshine behind those rains. The thing is you should not immerse yourself into those stressful thoughts when you have problem, you have to reach the surface to get the "fresh air".

And now, to answer the question I asked myself before: I have experienced happiness for countless time and yet sometimes I still wait too long for happiness to come and I don't realize that it is actually around me. Thus, I need to be more thankful to be able to feel and realize that I actually already have my happiness in a lot of unexpected moments as well as places.
