a friend in need is a friend indeed

She shares her stories to many friends, but she feels incomplete without telling those stories to one particular friend. A very best friend of hers. When she finally did, she's relieved. 

This very best friend sees things beyond what meets the eyes. Make her realize what is missing inside her. This very best friend gives advice like no other friend. Helps her finds her answer. 

And she's thankful for the presence of such friend in her supposedly extraordinaire life.

The Key

There's this guy. He has the most similar, if exactly the same is too absolute, way of thinking as she has. He is the reflection of her thoughts. In fact, he is sitting right next to her, driving her home. They see things through the same eyes as if they’re in each other’s body. This guy and the girl, they are that happy-go-lucky couple. Simply comfortable and happy with each other side by side when their eyes meet or heart to heart in distance. No drama, no demands. They feel equal.

Careless. Not paying enough attention to what one does. Yes. As much as they care about each other, they are less concerned at many other things of their partner. Giving just enough private space. It’s funny that for them, this ‘careless’ has the role not only as the provider of comfort but also as their root of fear. They are afraid if the carelessness make one of them begin to lose the passion. From careless turns into completely ignorant. As she/he keeps trying to hold on and fix everything, the other person doesn’t give a shit about anything anymore. Poof! There goes away the equality. Then one of them would leave. 

He said that in a relationship, boys (not men) are nice and thoughtful and everything in the beginning, then sooner or later the affection getting less and less. She agrees. Then girls who still have the same lovey-dovey feeling would hold on or maybe they would eventually leave with a broken heart. Maybe the girl could keep up with the slight yet constant changes, or maybe not. On the other hand, girls tend to be irrational. Whine about silly things or be mad for no reason or too dreamy about the future. Maybe the guy could cope with her or maybe he would walk away.

Things would turn ugly, stay the same, may be gets even better. Who knows, right? As long as both of lovers still enjoy whatever they have, nothing could go wrong. As long as they are willing to go through anything together.

As long as they love equally.

Nyanyian Semalam

Semalam aku menyapa hujan
Ataukah hujan yang menyambutku?
Entahlah. Seketika itu aku terhenyak di bawah kehangatan selimut
Semalam aku menghampiri petir
Ataukah petir yang menghampiriku?
Entahlah. Yang terasa hanya serpihan kesenangan sebelum aku tidur

Lelapku bercerita kalau semalam mereka bernyanyi untukku
Nyanyian yang sama sekali tidak merdu buat mereka
Tatkala Ibukota acuh pada syahdunya hujan

Lelapku bercerita kalau pagi tadi mereka masih bernyanyi
Nyanyian yang mengantarkan rindu akan hati nurani
Tatkala Ibukota telah lupa diri

Andai ruang di antara gedung-gedung itu diasuh oleh cinta
Andai di tiap sudut kota tertulis "CINTAI AKU"
Mungkin Ibukota akan menyambut ramah tiap hujan berkunjung
Mungkin Ibukota masih teduh di bawah hati yang syahdu



Semoga warga Jakarta tidak selalu mengutuk banjir, yang sebenarnya merupakan hasil ulah mereka sendiri. Kutuklah kebiasaan-kebiasan merusak lingkungan. Jangan biarkan Ibukota tenggelam dan manusia-manusia busuk hidup di dalamnya. #saveJakarta

To Infinity and Beyond

Free yourself from negative people. 

Spend time with nice people who are smart, driven and likeminded. Relationships should help you, not hurt you. Surround yourself with people who reflect the person you want to be. Choose friends who you are proud to know, people you admire, who love and respect you -people who make your day a little brighter simply by being in it. Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. When you free yourself from negative people, you free yourself to be YOU -and being YOU is the only way to truly live.

Those aren't my words. A friend of mine posted it in one of the social media, which I'm sure it isn't her words either. Anyhow, I find those statements appealing and put me into some thoughts.

For me, surrounding yourself with the people most similar to you is how the universe connect to you and gives you what you want, consciously or not. I speak here upon the law of attraction, if you haven't heard of it let me put it simple : what you give is what you get. In order to receive positive feedbacks (getting what you want), you have to do positive actions or simply generating positive thoughts.  Affirming that you are what you think you'll become. Convincing yourself that you are just this close to achieve your dreams and goals. 

Where does all these positivity come from? If it's not coming from yourself, it comes from the people around you. Seeing the people that reflects what you would like to be shall give you the courage to throw away your can't(s) and impossible thoughts. Start affirming, and go for it. If you haven't notice, we are humans which can do the most extraordinary things. You just gotta push yourself harder than usual. You gotta be a little more masochist than other people.

You are infinite.
