Babbling in the Midst of Traffic


It's crazy that now I become active again in this blog. I think, somehow I should try to write down everything, to exercising my mind and to coping my feelings. I realized that I stop writing during 2021 and 2023, and looking back at that time... I was in a hard time. It's like I don't have any idea, inspiration, nor muse to write again. I used to be a writer. I used to won in writing competitions. I even won in writing short stories during FLS2N. So, I feel ashamed when I have this writer's block for years. I also did journaling in the past, but, now I haven't write anything in my notes. My handwriting used to be SO DAMN GOOD, and it looks terrible now. My posts are random here, but, I shall practice everyday. The more I write, the more I feel 'me' again. I think... I am still that writer.

For the second part, I want to say something to you. YES, you. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. I've never expected you read it, and somehow you read it. I feel honor that you spent your time here. Some part of me think it was another reason that I have a will to write again. Oh, please, don't feel as if you busted or it hit your ego, please tell me directly you read my blog. I shall be the one who feel embarrassed here, since I let you (and even people) know my layers. My face may show subtitles when I feel something, but, my mouth mostly stays in silence. I wrote good things about you here, and somehow I hope it boosts your energy and make you happy. I wish my posts muse you as much as you become my muse. I wish my posts could influence you to create an art (or have you already created it? I would like to know if you already have!).

As now I re-read my posts, I realize that I wrote so many things about you here in a good way for DECADE. You rent for free in my head during my teenage and adult times, and somehow I'm okay with it. I feel happy by just thinking of you, and it makes me want to be a better person for myself. Life is hard, but a little part of my mind, knowing that thought of you somehow makes me live. 

You have to know: I still see you as a good person, and I don't hate you or regret anything that happened between us in the past. We were just teenagers afterall. You and I were both struggling in our own way. You were (and are, still) part of my journey, and I want to say it again, you made me the way I am today. Thus, how could I feel negative things toward you? I shall say thank you instead.

I'm waiting for us to talk directly, face-to-face, whenever we both ready, as two adults not as teenagers like we used to be. I hope, my invitation to you won't be accepted or be ignored years after this, because we already spent years in misscommunication. As much as I lower my ego by writing things about you that has been hidden for years, I hope you will lower your ego too to talk with me directly. I will answer all your questions, and I hope I could also ask you too. Don't you feel curious about me, my journey, my other layers that you try to know by reading my posts?

You know my number, you know my socmeds, you know the building I am work at, and you even know my email. Let's break this cycle of loudest silence after all this years.

Masa Putih-Biru

Left - Right: Nadia, Wiwit, Salsa, Elyta, Me Ohhh.... SMPN 11 Jakarta, betapa aku merindukanmu sekarang!!!! Khususnya keempat orang ini yang gokilnya ampun-ampunan. Keempat orang yang suka tuker-tukeran bekal bareng, tempat curhat bareng, tempat nyontek (eh), tempat main Truth or Dare bareng, tempat dimana semua anaknya punya imajinasi tinggi karena seneng baca novel, tempat apa-apa deh pokoknya. Kalian inget ngga, waktu pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia materi musikalisasi puisi, kelompok lain masih rempong nyiapin ini-itu, sementara kita udah beres dan main truth or dare . Terus gue dare Elyta untuk bilang gini ke Bu Wiwik di depan kelas, "Bu.... dingin.... Saya butuh kehangatan, peluk dong..." And she did it without doubt. :") Terus waktu kita latihan dirumah sepupu gue sampe maghrib, kalian emang yang dateng ke rumah gue, tapi gue nya ngaret 2 jam gara-gara ambil kaca mata. :( Class Meeting juga sesuatu banget kalo kita semua lengkap. Kita nyanyi-nyanyi lagunya ...

The Passion and Soul of a Dreamer

I think tonight it's the perfect time to talk about... dream, passion, and soul. As a teenage girl, it's normal to be wishy-washy isn't it? When I was just a little girl I ask my mother what will I be Will I be pretty, will I be rich? Here's what she said to me: "Que sera, sera.. whatever will be, will be..." I bet y'all know this song. A song that my mom and I used to sing. Since I was a little, kalo ada yang nanya, "Mau jadi apa?" Jawabannya... "Designer!" A fashion designer, I mean. They, especially my Mom, doubt in me. They doubt of my dream. But somehow, I believe in it. Be a fashion designer is my dream, my passion, and my soul. I wanna failed in it, and I wanna raised from it. These are some Indonesian designer that I adore: 1. Harry Darsono. OMG. Dikenal dari stylenya yang adi busana. 2. Tex Saverio. Known as the Alexander McQueen-nya Indonesia. 3. Rafi Ridwan. He proves that every human has talent behind our im...

What is Klepto?

What is Klepto? Knownly as Kleptomania , is the inability to refrain from the urge to steal items for reasons other than personal use or financial gain. Kleptomania is presently classified in psychiatry as an impulse control disorder . Alternatively, some of the main characteristics of the disorder, which consist of recurring intrusion feelings, an inability to resist the urge to steal, and a release of pressure following the theft, suggest that kleptomania could be an obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder , although this is disputed. Bla... Bla... Bla... HAAH, whatever itu gue copas dari Wikipedia. Hehe -_- Hmm, from my point of view...  Klepto itu adalah sebuah kebiasaan (penyakit, hama, parasit) untuk ngambil barang orang lain tanpa seijin orang tsb. My Sister once told me, kalo Klepto itu belum tentu dilakukan oleh orang yang tidak mampu, malah yang punya villa di setiap negara pun bisa jadi kena issue ini.  Kleptomania is so annoying... They're j...

The Poem of a Lover Girl

In the crowded place full of strangers, Seek my loving soul, it carries no angers. Stay true to your heart, though it's hard to tame. Deep inside you know I'm the one your soul will aim. Let me be your core. Otherwise we'll regret it forever more. Take the chance, break the wall. Listen to our heart, may this is the call. The longing feeling that we care, Time has passed so long, I can't bear. Throw away your fear, I'll wait, stand still in here. Let's fill the blank page. Don't lock me in the cage. Pull me closer to your gravity. This heart can bewray with your key. Two souls kiss in union, Like a sacred communion. "Till death do us part," we said. Linked hand, no light of love ever faded. *writing this as I listen to The 1975 - About You & Taylor Swift - Red*

Dream is NOT a Dream (I hope).

Hmm, do you ever think about your dreams? I mean.. Not a dream when you sleep and your mind is walking around in Dreamland. It's about your future. Many people asked me the same question. "What do you wanna be?" Maybe when we're a little, randomly we answer it like.... "An astronaut," "A pilot!" or like "A model!", "A Doctor", "A scientist." But, we're growing up. We have to think deeper than before. We have to think the risks. The example is me. I was dreaming to be a person who can make a huge fashion-show, and design all that dresses. I didn't know what is that until someday I knew that's called a designer. But I don't really care what designer I am. A fashion designer, or a web designer, or something with that titles. As long as people say it as a designer, as long as my imagination and my creativity can grow, I wanna be a designer.  Then I was dreaming to be an architect too. M...
