Student of Life

Dari kesalahan-kesalahan yang pernah aku buat, tetap ada orang-orang yang berdiri tegap di sampingku. Mereka tidak berbuat apa-apa, hanya berdiri, menatapku, dan sesekali membantuku jika aku ingin terjatuh. Mereka yang kembali membuat badanku tegap menghadapi terjangan badai. 
Kalau aku akan terjatuh, pasti akan ada yang menolong. Tidak pernah ada yang membiarkan aku benar-benar jatuh. Mereka selalu mengulurkan tangan mereka ketika diriku sudah lemah menopang badanku sendiri. 

Sekarang aku berpikir, bahwa pergi, bersembunyi, itu bukanlah penyelesaian. Dengan sendiri, aku memang menenangkan diriku, tapi dalam ketenangan, belum tentu masalahku akan mengurai begitu saja. Masalah-masalah itu justru semakin membeku sehingga membuatnya semakin sulit untuk dipecahkan. Berlari, juga apa yang aku kejar saat berlari dari masalahku sendiri? Bukankah justru aku membuang waktuku yang mahal hanya untuk menghindar dengan berlari. Ditambah aku akan kelelahan. Memang kemana aku berlari? Dimana tempat aku bisa berlindung dari masalahku sendiri?

Aku tidak selalu mendapatkan solusi atas masalah yang sedang aku hadapi. Aku mencari jawabannya kesana kemari, tapi sebenarnya aku yakin, jawaban itu sudah ada di dekatku, hanya saja aku kurang jeli untuk menemukannya. Tidak ada hal yang benar-benar sulit dilakukan di dunia ini. Aku kadang merasa, mengapa masalahku begitu rumit. Sedetik kemudian aku menampik hal itu. Bukan hidupku saja yang rumit, semua orang sama, mereka merasakan hal yang sama. Aku harus berhenti untuk merasa bahwa hidupku yang paling buruk. Mengapa pula aku harus berlomba dalam kategori hidup terburuk?!

Tujuan hidup di dunia ini, aku rasa adalah untuk melewati berbagai ujian. Lalu, apakah hidup para koruptor yang makan uang rakyat juga disebut sebagai ujian? Saat banyak orang yang kelaparan, membutuhkan tempat tinggal, berpikir harus bertahan hidup sampai hari esok dan seterusnya, dan para bajingan itu santai-santai, makan enak, tidur di ranjang kesayangannya, lalu yang hidung belang menikmati hiburan setelah suntuk urusan kerja dan bosan dengan sang istri. Apa hidup para koruptor itu juga disebut sebagai ujian?
Aku melihatnya begitu. Mereka gagal, gagal total untuk melalui ujian itu. 
Masalah nilai, biar serahkan kepada-Nya. Aku bukan guru. Aku hanyalah murid, sama seperti para koruptor itu. 

Guru, yang benar-benar guru, tidak ada. Kalimatku susah sekali ya. Intinya begitu. Semua manusia yang lahir, ditakdirkan untuk menjadi murid. Dengan belajar, maka akan tumbuh dan berkembang. Untuk naik kelas, maka harus melewati ujian. Kalau tidak lulus ujian bagaimana? Ya tetap di kelas yang sama. Tapi kenapa ada orang-orang yang tetap di kelas yang sama meski mereka telah melalui ujian, karena tidak ada seorangpun murid yang menentukan hasil ujian itu, apakah lulus, apakah gagal, tinggal di kelas yang sama, harus mengulang. Hanya guru yang benar-benar tahu bagaimana nilai asli para muridnya.

Dear Myself

How am I gonna live tomorrow Without you by my side How am I gonna pass through the days Without your figure filling in my days My heart wasn't hurt like this before Sun wasn't shining like days before The night wasn't dark like the nights before And I don't see stars anymore When something is over is that over? Is that a real ending even if it feels not real? I don't want it to be over but it has to end And what am I supposed to do when you're not mine anymore? Don't worry, the storm has over Dear myself, you're gonna be fine just wait sit tight and see Dear myself, everything happens at least for one reason Dear myself, even if time felt like wouldn't heal, you're gonna see different versions of yourself Dear myself, when he was hurting you doesn't mean everybody would hurt you  I was too busy listening to my messy mind  Got tension, under pressure, blaming myself for everything that happened I underestimated myself Thinking that I'm no

New Year, Same Shit

If we talk about the new year, the first thing that comes to our mind is actually a new version of ourselves. Resolutions, plans, and things that we want to achieve in one year ahead. Not only that, if there are things that still remain unmarked from the year before, they would be added to the target for the next year. But, what about the things that are still unsolved? What if, we still have unfinished business? And do we have to carry those things every time and everywhere we go? New year, but the same shit, and it’s totally fine. Heavy things come to us, but that doesn’t mean everything comes harder. I mean, of course, everything gets harder. But we as a human gets stronger even more.  I thought it was easy. Of course, it was easy. Sometimes, we just like to make things more complicated than it was. We like to romanticise our sorrow and sadness. Cause that is how we celebrate. If there are no things such as happiness that can make our day brighter, then we have to turn our sorrow in

The Usual Friday

I didn't realize that for years, I've just wasted my weekdays. I did the job just as it is, was mediocre, and got stuck in a traffic jam in the morning and during rush hour.  Those days, I've just spent my precious time but not enjoying what I'm doing. Cause I always wait for the weekend. Where I could finally see you.  I'm over the moon when it comes to Friday. Friday was always special, an unusual day, cause after Friday there would be Saturday and Sunday.  We're going to places we've never been stopped by, try what kinda food's arising, and usually ended up with deep talking and with arguments each other.  On the present day, Friday, one day of the week I always look forward to, had become a catastrophe for me. Cause I know, after Friday, you aren't be there anymore. You're not going to colour my weekends like was.  I was misunderstood. Friday is not always good.

You're on My Sleepless Nights

My sleepless nights have achieved a days streak.  I have thought that I'm letting go, but I don't know what exactly things I release. I always think that I'm okay, and turns out that's a lie. Is there any person who knows how to get rid of things, things that always haunted us, things that used to be ours, things that have never been the same as before? How to deal with all of that?  At first, I thought that our breaks were good riddance. How stupid I am! We'll never feel how bigger we love something or someone until we lost them. There is nothing between us now, but how could I miss you more than when we were together? For sure, I know there is no certain time to completely erase you from my life.

Music Therapy 'Let Somebody Go'

Kemarin aku terbius dan hanya terfokus pada Coloratura dalam album Music of The Spheres.  Lalu rilislah MV Let Somebody Go dengan ala-ala dimensi cerminnya Doctor Strange, juga memperlihatkan sorrowness yang truly touch and kinda break my heart. This song is about loss and how we accept and perceive it.  Saat musisi masa kini berlomba dengan explicit languange or F* word dalam lagu mereka, Coldplay menyajikan musik tanpa itu dan emosinya tetap terasa begitu kuat. How soothing the music is, Selena's voice like an angel, beautiful and deepest pain lyrics, I really need more like this! I'm not on the mood to cry, however this song just let me tears my eyes. My favorite lines - when they call the mathematicians and they ask them to explain, they say love is only EQUAL to the pain

The One Who Drives

I thought that I don't have to fill the tank again But clearly, I have to go back to the driver's seat And still, the passenger's seats are vacant  Navigate to the new routes I don't know what comes in front of me What comes next Maybe I'll find someone new to fill the seat Even just for a short excursion I have nothing You... You are not mine even for a second Sometimes, I got tired cause I'm the one to drive But I have to Cause I had lost you before I can have you  The road is still protracted And this vehicle has to keep forward

One Minute You're Happy, The Other You're Sad

I always got a fever when my feeling quickly changed. It's normal by the way. The response from my body when there's something that may be disturbed the cells in my brain.  A little dream in the dawn had made a bunch of feelings in my heart. I dreamt of an old friend in my childhood who brings so many memories. I never thought about her before, but when the dream comes, suddenly I tried so hard to get in contact with her which is now I have already contacted her. It was a long long time ago since we connected the last time.  This thing made me delighted. The past played in my head and made me relieved cause I remember it all too well. One minute you're happy and the other you're sad. The line that I've got from If Life Is So Short by The Moffats . Feelings always change. Funny isn't it? When you are so angry with the traffic, when you are late to catch up the bus or train, when someone is not on purpose spoiled your coffee, or when you run out of food for dinner
