Tangan Kanan

Belakangan saya mulai muak dengan rutinitas itu-itu saja setiap hari. Katakanlah bangun pagi sebelum pukul enam, lalu dual atau tiga menit selanjutnya saya gunakan untuk mengumpulkan nyawa, barangkali berserakan di pojok kamar, di balik almari, di bawah roda koper, di sela lubang earphone, atau bahkan di samping saya sendiri, dengan diam-diam is meninabobokkan hingga membuat saya lantas begitu enggan bangkit bersiap-siap kerja sampai semalam suntuk. Duh Gusti, beberapa tahun lalu bukankah ini kesibukan yang saya idamkan, pulang ke kamar hanya untuk membersihkan tubuh dan lanjut tidur selama kurang lebih enam atau tujuh jam setiap malam.

Mungkin saya sedang resah memikirkan tugas di sekolah tanpa henti. Jujur saja kepala pun terasa berat. Lantas kemana saya harus pergi? Apakah ada baiknya saya juga merencanakan perjalanan dimulai dari tempat-tempat terdekat? Tentu bukan ke pusat perbelanjaan, melainkan ke pameran di museum, perpustakaan, festival film Eropa, pertunjukkan teater, ke taman tulip dan edelweiss, kursus memasak, belajar bahasa asing di pusat studi, mengikuti summer course, mencicipi makanan dan minuman enak di tempat yang tidak banyak orang tahu, menikmati kuatnya rasa keju dan wine, meracik parfum atau juga jamu, mendengarkan lagu lawas lewat piringan hitam, berburu buku jadul di toko buku bekas, atau sekadar bepergian sambil membaca buku dan artikel ringan di dalam MRT.

Beberapa mengatakan usia dan realitas berlaku kejam pada mimpi kita. Terkadang kita lupa selain bekerja, kita juga punya kewajiban untuk merawat diri baik secara mental, jasmani, dan rohani. Atau logikanya saya ubah, justru dengan bekerja, hal-hal yang selama ini jadi mimpi dapat tercapai satu-persatu. Ah kalaupun benar, apalah arti kesabaran dan semangat tiada henti?

Sayang, boleh pinjam sebentar tangan kananmu?

Ah, saya sedang patah hati. Itu saja.

Choices

There will always be the first time for everyone. The first time to hear, the first time to feel, the first time to move, the first time to breathe and cry, the first time to drink, the first time to eat, the first time to respond, the first time to play, the first time to play together and solve the very own problem, the first time to enter school, the first time to teach, the first time to talk and engage with numerous audience, the first to be and do anything. . .till it becomes one day. . .the thing that was hard and challenging, could become a piece of cake. 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...

The Most Precious Thing

To my fiancé, thank you for being a strong man even when hard times still hit that hard. Your 'cegil' is so proud of you. Dear Dadda K, to be with you has taken me to love myself more. Thank you for being gentle and listening to me and us. I have never felt less as a woman because I finally found my real power. Through the peaks and valleys, through the lengthy journey, I do believe the right train will never pass us by. In this horse year, let's be more kind to each other. Let kindness be the beginning of our story. Dear Daddy K, there were moments I might be afraid of losing us. The worries somehow spiraling. At the end I have to decide and take an action of not letting the hassle consuming me more. The peace, positivity, and tenderness are greater. This morning I looked at myself through the mirror. I asked, "who is this girl I see?" It instantly brought me back to you. I am loved, and your actions are the living proof. It's not only a love letter. I wrote ...

The Awakening of New Energy

This one week, my mind buzzed. I know I had a lot to express. I always feel the urge to talk to people and barely know when to stop. I love creating world with words. Words are playground to me. Sometime I could slide, hop, roll forward, slither, or simply sit and watching people passing by. It's not a bout fun, but it's the awareness of creating more and more. I will try to invest 1 hour each day to write, to think, to get lost, to be found, to express, and write again. Over and over. I hope there will be more people connect and read me. Insya Allah 🤍
