Expect the Unexpected

Kali ini gue akan menulis tentang persahabatan antara manusia dengan binatang. Terkadang (sering kali malah), binatang itu lebih berkemanusiaan daripada manusia itu sendiri. Keluarga gue adalah pecinta binatang. Dari jaman Eyang, Om, Tante, Mama, hingga gue... kami semua pecinta binatang. Segala jenis binatang pernah kami pelihara seperti, burung hantu, angsa, burung warna-warni (nggak tau namanya apa), kucing, monyet, hamster, dan paling sering... anjing. Ya, gue adalah keluarga muslim yang memelihara anjing. Tulisan ini hanya akan gue fokuskan pada pro dan kontra muslim memelihara anjing. Bisa dikatakan, anjing adalah bagian dari kehidupan gue sejak kecil. Dulu gue punya anjing namanya Pedro, campuran chow-chow dan anjing kampung. Nggak ingat sifatnya seperti apa, tapi Mama selalu cerita kalau Pedro adalah anjing terpintar dan tersetia yang pernah kami miliki. Di salah satu ceritanya, dulu gue pernah menunggangi Pedro selayaknya dia adalah kuda. Seja...

The Power of Empowered Women. Akhir-akhir ini gue lagi suka banget sama kalimat ini. Secara tidak langsung, kalian pasti menebak kalau gue adalah salah satu feminis. Sebenarnya apa arti feminis itu? "Feminis adalah sebuah gerakan yang menuntut emansipasi atau kesamaan dan keadilan hak dengan pria. Feminisme berasal dari bahasa Latin, femina atau perempuan. Istilah ini mulai digunakan pada tahun 1890-an, mengacu pada teori kesetaraan laki-laki dan perempuan serta pergerakan untuk memperoleh hak-hak perempuan." (Wikipedia) Sudah mengerti kan pengertian dasarnya? Alasan gue menulis tulisan ini adalah dalam rangka memperingati Hari Wanita Internasional yang jatuh pada 8 Maret 2018. Selain itu, isu pelecehan seksual pun juga menjadi latar belakang penulisan blog ini. Sejak kecil, gue senang membaca serial komik tokoh dunia dan yang menjadi favorit gue adalah: 1. Helen Keller, 2. Florence Nightingale, 3. Marie Curie. Seiring dengan bertumbuh...

If we were real, Would you feel any bless? Would you give us the chance? Would you stay when I ask? If we were real, Could I feel jealous of the other girl? Could I smile everytime you call? Could I ask you to feel the way I feel? Because if we were real, I would always keep you safe. I would keep you by my side. I would miss to hug you tight. I would make you smile and laugh. Because if we were real, It is like a dream come true. To have someone as strong as I am by my side. To have someone smarter than I am. To have someone braver than I am. Because if we were real, It is like having two alphas become one. United as a double power. United as a one true pairing. United as a one heart.

Untuk Bagas dan Sofyan, *** Aku memang hanya anak kota. Dibesarkan di antara gedung tak bermuara. Dikelilingi hiruk pikuk yang membuat sengsara. Jarang sepi dan dipenuhi suara. Sulit tatap rembulan di malam. Hingga sinar jingga matahari terbenam. Bersua dengan bintang pun tak bisa hingga tenggelam. Anak gedung, itu kata mereka. Benar, karena hanya dikelilingi pualam dan kaca. Katanya, sulit untuk merasa peka. Dengan kondisi sekitar nun membuat buta. Aku memang anak kota, Terlalu dimanja dan ditunjang hidupnya. Mudah bepergian dan berkelana. Dan terkadang egois dan pelupa. Bahwa sebenarnya kita hanyalah manusia. Seonggok daging bernyawa, Bukankah itu adalah kita? Ironis bagaimana hidup itu punya kelas. Disaat yang satu bekerja, yang lainnya tidur pulas. Disaat yang satu berdagang, yang lainnya berada di kelas. Disaat yang satu ingin belajar, yang lainnya merasa malas. Anak kota mungkin memang penuh dosa. ...

The night is becoming my enemy right now. It is collided between what I feel deep in the heart and what I think deep in the mind. I do live in world that is no fairytale exist. Pathethic. Human lives by expecting on someone else, thus they expect too high. When she / he can not be something or someone they wished to be, they get mad. You will be nagged every single hours, hearing those non stop harsh words. Are we wrong for being here? To live in this same world and to breathe the same air? Deep in the mind, I hate to live in this world. I hate to grow up. I hate to have a lot of responsibilities. I just want to be kids again. To play all day long until you run out of air, and just ignore the adults words without getting worry. But in the other side, Lately for the past 6 months, I have found a new inspiration. Of someone that I don't brave to say out loud. Of someone that easily slips to become the new art. He is the most beautiful art, a thing that easily distract me from hi...

Everyone said that love hurts. Well it is... if you expect more to someone. But actually, love is great. To feel love and being loved are two greatest thing in the world. Let love grows, Slowly and deeper, Until you really fall in love. Love until you are ready to fall. To feel how much it hurts if love over control your life. You are mature if you know the reality of love. It is not something that you can buy. It is something that you can not even express. It is something to help you grow. It is something to teach you that you can ask someone to love you back. Love, Is something that you should do sincerely. Without any intention to get what you want. Love, Is something that you should do everyday. To see the smile of your loved ones. Do not ask someone to love you back, Just give it all yours, And they will love you eventually. If they did not, Do not try to forget them. Keep the love, ...

Now I am finally 20. Well my birthday was on last month actually, but I haven't got a time to write about my post birthday here. So... How it feels to be 20? Honestly, it is nothing. Ironically, you feel old yet you are still young. I think now I know my inner peace, how to keep myself sane and steady. It is crazy to remember that last year, when I was 19, I did so many amazing journeys. I made friends and I keep friends. And day by day I know that I already have a love that I always wanted. Surrounded by them who stay in my side, and by the new people who I adore.
