Semesta Baik

Hidup saya jauh dari kata seru. Hari-hari diisi dengan bekerja juga lembur, sesekali olahraga, makan dan minum semaunya, jam tidur tidak pernah teratur, ikut workshop di saat teman-teman saya tidak tertarik ikut,  berteman seperlunya, dan sangat jarang rekreasi. Mungkin bila dibandingkan dengan teman-teman, hidup saya terkesan membosankan. Tapi meski ritmenya jauh dari kata mengesankan, saya mau mengapresiasi hal-hal baik yang sederhana.  Misalnya ketika dihadiahi makanan enak oleh teman, dibawakan makanan enak yang dimasak sendiri, staycation sebentar bersama satu atau dua teman paling dekat, juga dipinjami buku bagus.


Hari ini ternyata dipinjami sebelas buku bagus oleh Nyom. Semuanya bergambar. Ya tentu saja, saya sangat gemar membaca buku-buku yang memuat banyak gambar.  Sejak sekolah, bahkan buku-buku yang saya punya, selain buku paket bergambar, saya punya beberapa buku mata pelajaran tertentu berbentuk komik. Selain terasa menyenangkan, saya jadi merasa tidak tertekan ketika membaca. Gambar bagi saya membantu proses memahami isi buku lebih baik. 


Untuk Nyom, omi kaang. Bersabar ya, karena ada sebelas buku, jadi semuanya akan selesai dibaca dalam waktu yang agak lama, hahaha. 


Desember, meski menjadi bulan penutup tahun, saya akan mencoba mempercepat proses baru yang sudah lama ingin saya jalankan. Saya sangat ingin menyiapkan dan memasak sendiri makanan enak dan sehat setiap hari. Kendati akan repot, tak apa. Saya ingin menjadi teman terbaik bagi diri sendiri. Saya ingin mendengarkan lebih banyak yang disampaikan oleh tubuh, agar tetap waras. 


Omi kaang untuk semua hal-hal baik hari ini. Omi kaang Semesta yang baik.

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...
