Letter from December 2017

I don't cry to sleep anymore. 

When I cry in bed, now I get up, lit a cigarette, make coffee, sit outside, read a good book,
or just cry awake .
And at the last sob before I go back to sleep, 
I always tell myself that I'm great, made a right decision, I'm taking a good care of myself .
I don't want to cry to sleep. I don't want to be drifted to dreams feeling terrible. 
I want to fall asleep feeling comfortable in my own skin. 
I think every girl needs to learn that she is a hero, she is a guardian angel, even when she's in tears.
I want every girl knows that she is a diamond,
whether she is owned, or abandoned;
treated like one, or undiscovered.
I want you to look at my river. I want you to look at your reflection and see, you're so beautiful,
dear sister, stop grieving.

It Has Been A Lot!

Wow, where should I start? So my comeback to dance class after a month break (sebulan aje dibahas...gimana lebih? Udah jadi buku keleus :D) had been a wild ride. Right away rehearsal for a performance and coordinating an event at the same time. Berto gave me this job from IDF, where I worked as P.I.C for Dance Writing Workshop. My girl IKAN said why am I taking the job if I am so busy? The answer is clear: I need to pay college. Ikan said she can just lend me money and I can focus on my thesis. God, bless this human that is my best friend. That's very kind and thoughtful of her. Anyway, I took the job so I was running 2 events at the same time. One in Cikini, Central Jakarta and one in SOM, South Tangerang. I became an adept Commuter Line user. I no longer mistaken peron 1 with peron 2 and silly things like that, like not knowing which gate I should enter after scanning my card to enter the peron. Duh. Duh 100x. I wasn't particularly on diet but I really didn't want to ea...

What is happiness? It sounds like a snack.

I would, like usually, open this post by saying "Things are crazy". Yes, I don't know are things really crazy or is it just me. I think it's the latter. Life appears as surprises to me. And I act like a door, opening this tunnel, closing another one. I don't feel dull, and I can't say my days have been dull for they are full with challenges. But I have been so alone. This also sounds weird. Since when that I'm not alone? I always pull myself back from any social event. I hang out alone. I guess the last time I had a good time outside the house/office/campus with another human being was the last Saturday in January, so it's a month ago. It is true that if I just ask, I will get people willing to go with me. But I am the pickiest picky pick ever because most of the times when I don't pick, I get bored with dull conversations, or a view of someone watching his/her phone like there's nothing else to see. So all this time I hang out alone. Mos...

yang hilang dan jadi debu

ada sesuatu yang diam-diam kupercaya walau ia hilang ditelan bisingnya Jakarta: Islam ada cara hidup yang sederhana, menawarkan kesadaran untuk mampu mengendalikan kecepatan, dengan disiplin lima kali dalam sehari, dan tidak lebih lama dari basa-basi ada cara bertutur yang tegas dan disetujui tubuh, istighfar membuatku sadar, bahwa yang sakit bisa pulih tasbih menunduk-daguku, bahwa seniman itu sebuah entitas hamdalah hangatkan bahuku, ada yang Maha kendali di atas kendaliku
