A. M. A.

Sudah empat hari ya, terhitung rabu kemarin, Bii terbang ke Jakarta. Alex apa kabar? Gimana sekolahnya? Kemarin main apa saja di sekolah? Teruslah fokus dengan kegiatan di sekolah ya, dengarkan nasehat guru, kerjakan tugas sebaik mungkin, usahakan datang ke sekolah tepat waktu, dan berbaikhatilah pada teman-teman di sekolah dan sepermainanmu.

Je souris au fond de moi. Bagaimana tidak, melihatmu tumbuh sehat meskipun Bii pulang hanya enam bulan sekali. Itu pun tidak lama. Kamu tahu, tiap kali Bii bergumul dan merasa sesak oleh kegilaan sehari-hari, kamulah pain killer-nya.

Tiap kali duduk di sampingmu sambil memerhatikan perubahan yang signifikan selama hampir tiga tahun, Bii bertanya-tanya, dapatkah mendekapmu tanpa merasa takut, cemas, atau bahkan menoleh pada kejadian yang telah lewat? Bii punya segudang hal yang tidak rasional, dan itu menguras energi. Sesekali Bii tersungkur, tapi akhirnya kembali tegak walau terlihat tidak sempurna.

Semesta sayang, satu-satunya yang mungkin akan mencatat ambisi dan harapan kita di tengah wabah pesakitan. Nanti, saat pulang, kamulah rumah Bii satu-satunya, tempat paling aman untuk berlindung, tempat yang paling menentramkan di kala terik menyengat, tempat untuk berbagi suka duka, dan masih banyak lagi

Kelak akan tiba masanya bagimu untuk menuntaskan hasrat berpetualang ke seluruh penjuru dunia. Bii berpesan satu hal, kerjakan apa yang baik menurutmu, kerjakan secara sadar, sadar bahwa kamu mengerjakannya atas kesadaran yang luhur, sadar bahwa dengan mengerjakan itu, kamu bersedia secara sadar menjalani dan menyelami berbagai konsekuensinya tanpa mengedepankan keinginan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan biologismu semata.

Kita ini, terdengar begitu naif dan lugu. Bahwa semuanya seolah akan berjalan lancar. Biarkan saja. Setidaknya dengan sedikit mempercayai hal baik akan terjadi, mudah-mudahan ketika jatuh bahkan mati sekali pun, kita akan bangkit lagi, bertumpu pada kedua kaki yang bertambah kuat.

Tabik.

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...
