Menandai Oktober

Sudah memasuki Oktober, sekaligus menjadi petanda menjelang penghujung tahun 2019. Selain menjadi lebih tua dari segi usia, saya berharap menjadi semakin matang dan bijak dalam mengambil keputusan.

Saya sedang bergumul dalam keresahan dan kegelisahan. Pergumulan ini bukanlah untuk hal-hal yang masif, tentu bukan, melainkan pergumulan kecil yang kolektif. Ketika sedang ingin bernapas, rasanya ada yang tersangkut di saluran pernapasan. Kelegaan adalah sesuatu yang mesti dicari dan diupayakan.

Di sela kesibukan yang semakin padat, ternyata masih ada semacam kehangatan dan ketentraman yang diam-diam menyelinap ke tubuh. Tidak hanya saat beristirahat sambil memadamkan lampu utama di kamar, tetapi juga saat sedang duduk di perjalanan menuju destinasi berikutnya, saya menemukan berbagai pertanyaan. Semuanya memiliki benang merah yang sama.

Sebagai seorang pengajar dan pendidik, saya bisa apa selain mengajar dan mendidik sekaligus menjadi siswa bagi murid di kelas. Sebagai seorang yang gemar membaca, saya bisa apa selain membaca. Sebagai seorang yang gemar menulis, saya bisa apa selain menulis, dan seterusnya. Lalu sebagai manusia, saya bisa apa? Saya bisa apa selain beradaptasi meskipun dalam prosesnya lembaran nyawa yang saya punya perlahan terkelupas.

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? 

Act of Service

Several times I asked my fiance why he rarely gave me flowers, chocolate, cake, and other things related to sweet things linked to Valentine's Day. And I think I got the answer now. I love to observe people, even somehow my awareness gone with no trace lol. I think it was rooted from his culture as well. He's patient enough to do house chores even if he had a lot to prepare for his works. Several times I went to his house, and I was amazed by how clean and neat it was. He has no housekeeper to assist him doing those stuff, he did it by himself. Tried to wipe my finger on his cabinet or tv, and I found nothing. You know, when we cooked together, he didn't ask and force me to help. He needed me to just watch him dancing while cooking, listen to him singing song he composed by himself, and to show off how he seasoned the food so it would taste incredibly delicious. He also taught me how to take care of white blouse and T-shirt effortlessly. Unfortunately, since I had a lot on ...
