Terima Kasih, Hidup

Beberapa menit lalu, saya memutuskan untuk berhenti sejenak melakukan apa-apa. Sambil duduk di kursi penumpang, perlahan saya pejamkan mata. Kemudian diikuti dengan menarik napas secara teratur dan perlahan. Terkadang pikiran saya kalut tak karuan. Hanya saja akan menjadi lebih terkontrol saat sedang berada di tempat ramai.

Membaca gambar yang dipublikasi oleh fotografer perang jelas membuat saya bergidik sambil sesekali mengalihkan perhatian karena tidak sanggup melihat efek yang di terima oleh orang-orang yang bermukim di sekitar itu. Yang terkena dampak pun bermacam-macam, mulai dari janin dalam kandungan hingga yang secara fisik terlihat sama seperti kakek nenek kita.

Ketika bom dijatuhkan dan senjata api diterjangkan, saya melihat beberapa yang masih hidup meski harus merelakan tubuhnya tidak utuh, meratapi kepergian orang-orang tercinta. Tangisan mereka menjadi indikasi ketidakberdayaan dan kekecewaan atas konflik politik di tanah mereka. Tidak sampai di situ, mata saya selanjutnya tertuju pada mereka yang akhirnya terpaksa meregang nyawa. Tapi ada satu hal yang menarik, mereka terlihat pasrah dan damai, sekolah mengamini kematian menjadi pintu kebebasan penderitaan duniawi.

Secara tidak sadar, ada beberapa hal yang terproyeksi dari dalam diri. Sayangnya saya sempat menerjemahkan kematian sebagai pintu kebebasan secara literal. Itulah pikiran, sekalipun dimiliki oleh diri sendiri, tetap saja tidak dapat dikontrol.

Lalu seperti apakah saya harus menerjemahkan kematian itu? Saya meyakini satu hal, kematian dapat menjadi pembebas dalam artian kematian ego. Kesadaran ini niscaya membawa kita pada tingkat terlepas dari keterikatan dan penghindaran. Dalam perang, menang dan kalah menjadi abu dan arang. Dengan kematian ego, saya meyakini kita akan menjadi pribadi yang menyeluruh, yang terlepas dari keinginan untuk menang dan kalah secara bersamaan.

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 🤍

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 ...
