Sebuah Musim

: atau musim di sini begitu asing
hingga orang-orang dan denyut
mereka pada tiap daun lontar
menjadi beku.
pada keterbatasan setiap ruas
sedang tanah di laut dan

: atau musim di sini begitu asing
betapa ini kita
tidak segaris dengan
jalan yang ditaburi bunga

musim di sini begitu asing. . .


Sekayu, jan '10

It takes courage, it takes sweat and tears, it takes sleepless nights, it takes restless days, it takes commitment, it takes everything. Maybe it takes your happiness away either. It may seem scary and it may seem crazy. It requires self and stress management. I always have choices amongst these options. I commence to reflect. Back then, I love to  compare people, wether it would be worth it or not at all. I compare A to B...

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea?
