Aku melepaskanmu

seperti aku melepaskan simpul dasi yang menjerat leher
Aku melepaskanmu
seperti aku melepaskan pengait besi pada sabuk yang mengunci pinggangku
Aku melepaskanmu 
seperti aku melepas kancing yang lolos dari lubangnya
maka terbebaslah aku dari ruang yang menghimpit
Aku melepaskanmu
seperti aku melepas pengencang tali beha, dadaku terjepit, napasku berat,
Dan ah, kini lega sekali
Aku melepaskanmu
Seperti aku melepaskan resleting celana jeans yang ketat, yang menekan kedua kakiku hingga seolah terlihat ramping, tapi palsu
Aku melepaskamu
Seperti aku merobek celana dalamku, melemparnya ke keranjang sampah, biar dimakan semut sari-sari yang nikmat itu
Aku melepaskanmu
Seperti melucuti sepatu berhak tinggi
Aku biarkan tumit dan pundak kakiku mengobati dirinya sendiri, membalut luka kecil tanpa berdarah, mengompresnya dengan air dingin, dan meredakan nyeri yang menimbulkan penderitaan
Seperti itulah yang kutemukan dalam kekesalan, hari-hari yang suntuk, persoalan ibu kota yang tidak pernah rampung, kecemasan di depan laptop, perjumpaan yang selalu ditakar dalam satuan jam, rindu yang mesti ditunda, kekuatan bahasa dalam berita, 
Kata bertukar kata, bahkan untuk urusan paling rahasia dan pribadi
Pandemi mengajarkan kita
bahwa kematian lebih cepat dari urusan sekadar bilang "Selamat jalan, tidurlah yang tenang."

PS : it isn't at all about whom I let go, but what to let go.

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 🤍
