COBA BUAT SATU


KITA DAN RAJA


kelak kau terjemahkan sandi di halaman rumahmu sebagai ruang kosong yang hidup, menjalar di lehermu, membeku, dan aku kedinginan dengan sebutan-sebutan yang mustahil keluar dari mulutmu. kita dan raja serupa tapi kau memilih pergi sebab berbeda.

telah kau tempuh jarak yang jauh dari rumahmu. kau bilang bukankah perjalanan seharusnya memang jauh dan tak kasat mata? maka gunakan saja kacamata dan kamar tidurmu, keluasan dimana buku dan ingatan tidak bisa dibedakan, igauan menembus jendela, lalu tiada lagi yang berkemas terburu-buru, dan kita membaca yang jelas itu berdiri sendiri tanpa ada orang selain kita yang tiba terlebih dahulu di sana.




GARCIA 

kusebutkan namamu yang lenyap bersama sebuah ruang kosong yang terlena itu, di pinggir tebing angin serupa jembatan tanpa batas - udara yang sublim di permukaan kaca, lalu kucari kau dengan sebuah panggilan tersayang. aku tak pernah lupa minggu itu ketika terakhir kali kau celupkan jarimu ke sebuah lubang tempat air suci mengalir di pintu gereja. oh lukisan-lukisan pribadi dan nyanyian David yang menggembirakan Tuhannya, wahai kita yang berenang kepada yang entah, sebentar saja pekikkan suara sebagai tanda pertolongan bagi kaum yang bekerja keras di dalam mimpi.

Writing As A Love Language

:Vin Elk, Ars Magna, & Lady Loved* Lately, I have enjoyed writing a lot. Writing worked on me the way Dumbledore did while he was in Penseive, so he could experience his memories through other perspectives. He uses it to siphon the excess thoughts from his mind, pour them into the basin, and examine them at leisure. Writing has helped me to untangle my mind, examine what to deliver, communicate the messages verbally and non-verbally, and reflect on how this writing will evoke certain emotions or moods. Writing becomes the mirror that provides insight into who I am, what I desire, what I experience, what I value, and what I am not into. Writing becomes the language that deliberates my inner peace. On another level, writing could answer the quest that dwells in my mind.  I am glad to share what is significant for me right now. Being loved by the right person and people is heaven, and so is being respected, prioritized, supported, desired, and understood. The right person and peop...

The Essence of Learning New Things Every Day

Everyone basically has opportunities to learn something new every day. They learn to get a new skill or to let go of what doesn't belong to them. The cycle comes and goes. Learning something new is not only a shortcut to improve one's life, but also to make one's meaningful, and their presence could make the simplest form of change.  I was once asked about the skills I have other than teaching. I confidently responded to them that I have enough skills in writing, photography, and cooking. While doing my responsibilities in the class, I value the three areas will be beneficial for me in professionalism. I have unlimited resources to access them if one day, I could only choose one area to support me for a living.  As an individual who has to make a move every day, I see learning as a potential way that brings us to become more selfless. We can learn new things every day as long as we have the courage and willingness to be a beginner. A beginner carries honesty since they have...

A One Year-Old Bonding

I was having a brief and light conversation with my boyfriend about how to create more memorable stories, create sparks in our relationship, and make better plans for our future. What I deeply appreciate about him is that he never ceases making plans for us as if he knows exactly where we're going, the potential issues we are going to face, how to cope with hard conversations, and many more. Reassurance, emotional support, and acts of service speak louder than just words. In lieu of the conversation, we had opposite points of view on how we would build healthy relationships and bondings in marriage while each of us is trying our best to achieve our goals. In addition, I am aware of his endeavors to listen more, to be more transparent in making decisions, to welcome discussions, to work collaboratively, and to articulate what we feel and what we think about assertively. We want to find the best route that could accommodate our needs in particular. There was a funny moment when I sud...
