SUKUR HARI INI

 Terima kasih untuk hari ini

Hari cuti kita semua dari basah kuyup dan kehujanan,

ribut klakson dan kualitas udara yang rendah,

tangga yang panjang di stasiun 

dan pengisian ulang tiket KRL atau MRT,

banjir dan gas air mata di Kanjuruhan belum reda 

dan kita tidak cukup tidur menyaksikan siaran duka dan tangis

 

Terima kasih untuk hari ini

Hari menjadi lebih sabar ketika mesti bangun pagi sekali

seorang penjual roti yang sopan memanggilku

dari balik pagar setinggi kepala

ia sodorkan roti-roti kehidupan

tubuh kudus berisi kelapa juga kacang hijau

 

Terima kasih untuk hari ini

Hari untuk menghitung pengeluaran mingguan sebelum

saldo menjadi lebih tegas terhadap tabungan

Lalu aku melihat isi lemari

yang kudapati adalah brokoli beserta ulat pada kaos polos

jahitan asal seorang penjahit amatir pada tumpukan foto

yang baru saja dicetak, juga DVD Thick as Thieves

di antara poster The Temper Trap dan kain batik

 

Terima kasih sebab hari ini

aku menjadi lebih malas menanggapi kemarahan di media sosial,

tulisan manis terhadap citra buruk polisi

sebagai usaha yang sia-sia, dan seorang teman yang berjanji

menawarkan simpati juga kamera analog buatan Rusia

namun sebetulnya tinggal wacana saja

 

Terima kasih sebab hari ini

Aku tidak berusaha repot menyenangkan orang lain,

tidak mengirim suka pada konten yang mengincar validasi.

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...
