Gray

My dearest friend,
life is gray.


That is why,
I prefer giving them emotional support, you prefer giving them a way out. 
I prefer a peck, you prefer a glance.
I prefer the longest route, you prefer the shortest cut.
I prefer taking risks, you prefer playing it safely.
We are unalike.

I believe I am right, but I can't exactly say you are wrong. You are right as well.
Yet at the same time, you are wrong. And so do I.
That makes us similar. 

You know. We all are living in the world of gray.

Now, it is your call to decide, which kind of gray would you prefer?
The lighter one or the darker one?

The Good Place.

Sebenernya aku bukan tipe yang suka nonton film series, simply karena takut ketagihan dan ganggu kerjaan. Yang mana daripada beneran terjadi saat aku nonton drama korea haha.

The Good Place bicara tentang moral ethics dan teori-teori filsafat tapi dibawakan dengan ringan dan sangat lucu. Aktingnya juga bagus bagus banget. O my God. Favoritku adalah aktingnya The Judge yang super cringey but hilarious, Shawn, Janet yang kayaknya layak dapet nominasi penghargaan, ...

Non-attachment

There was a time, when I felt happy almost every day. I was carefree, having the time of my life. Lucunya, dulu waktu lagi puncak-puncaknya bahagia itu, justru aku sering merasa berat hati. Pernah, suatu sore, di tengah menghabiskan waktu dengan teman sambil menikmati pemandangan indah, aku hampir menangis. “Sunsetnya indah banget ya… Aku jadi pengen nangis.” Si teman terheran-heran, “Lho... Kenapa malah pengen nangis?” “Nggak, maksudnya karena terharu hehe,” buru-buru aku jawab. Padahal kenyataannya bukan semata-mata karena terharu. Tapi lebih karena resah menyadari kesenangan ini cepat atau lambat akan berlalu. Aku ingin waktu berhenti demi bisa senang terus. I was addicted to the pleasure. I was always wanting to have more. I just couldn’t stand the idea of experiencing any less pleasurable moment, let alone any hardship. Sekarang, hidupku berjalan lebih biasa-biasa saja dari masa itu. Lebih datar. Kadang juga terasa lelah dan penat. Yet, I am stran...

Life is Happening to Challenge You

Life is happening to challenge you.  Everyday is a process of learning something new.  A process to knowing yourself better.  A process to diminishing your egoistic state. The key to a peaceful life is to give more attention to the present moment.  Focus on being friends with the present moment.  The present is not just a means to an illusionary end.  It is the only thing that is real.
