How I Deal with Solitude

HOW I DEAL WITH SOLITUDE
I’ll be rumbling on this blog post now. Terribly sorry for the rumbles! This is something that I don’t usually write about and keep it inside. But I feel like sharing it with you. I genuinely could shed tears writing this. But I’ll try  not to. I’ll be the strongest person I can be.
Well without further a do. Questions that have been in my mind for the past couple days. Have you ever felt like you’re all on your own and no body gives you company and fed up of being alone and seeing, in love couples walking through the parks arm in arm and all that? And when you really need help, no body’s there, you’re reluctantly asking for people’s help, and you end up doing anything you want yourself without invloving people in it. That’s what I have been doing so far. Being a singleton and deciding not to be enganged with what sort of ‘love’ thingy and all that stuff. Not denying the fact that sometimes people need companies. Me included. More often than not, it’s got to the point where being single sucks but sometimes it’s a good thing. Having heard from quite many friends of mine moaning about being single and wanting to have boyfriends/girlfriends makes me want to write this sort of thing. Prefer being a singleton to being in love? Which one do you prefer? Do people have preferences? I have no clue. Maybe they do, or maybe they don’t. But this is a tip how I cope with my moment of solitude and overcome any feelings of loneliness. This works for me.
             1. Spend your time with your family and friends. I must admit that my parents are living and working in the capital city of Indonesian which is quite far from where I am studying now. The only way to keep in touch with each other is by communicating through calls/texts/social networks. I’m not very much open to them either, especially when it comes to ‘solitude due to being a singleton’ *laughs*. Not my parents’ cup of tea at all. They kinda loathe it seeing me close to somebody and for the time being their request is me focusing on the studies. When in terms of friends, I have bunches, but there are only a few friends whom I could put my trust and share anything with. Currently they are well-occupied. Therefore, feeling loneliness comes to me very frequently, but I know the ways to escape from it one of which is by getting together with friends and family. You’ll soon be getting accustomed to it and you’ll find out how better it would be if we’re focused on the studies rather than filling our minds with the things that might be a distraction to our academic studies and our platonic relationships with people like friends and family. You’ll soon realise a romantic partnership is not the only one satisfying type of relationship.
             2. The second thing that I now usually do is getting out more. Getting yourself locked in a room with no ventilation and all in pitch dark with curtains closed is not the best way to escape from loneliness. You have a wonderful planet to see, places you need to explore, people you gotta meet up, and events you gotta attend. I’ve come to a relisation that sitting in my flat all day long will do nothing and it just makes me more pesimistic. You’re already blessed with a great life, get out more and go to shop centres and cinemas even on your own or you can take friends if you want to, but being on your own sometimes makes you feel like you’re in your own world with you are the only inhibitant in it, I do this quite often, and realistically I enjoy my own company.
              3. Build your self-confidence. I’ve been doctrined by lots of articles that being in a relationship does not make you a better and more successful person. Then, do not think less of yourself as a person for being single. Rather this might be the best time for me to be even greater and appreciate the little things in life. To make a fresh start and feel better sometimes I treat myself like getting myself a book or a juice or a movie or new clothes or do some running outside or anything. This could make yourself feel much better. This works for me successfully.
               4. Enjoy ‘me’ time. I’m writing this whilst listening to music and singing it along. What could be better than this? Haha. I used to be feeling argh and meh when it comes to loneliness. Now I always try to find a way out what productive thing I could do. Now Now when I feel like company, I either write, go out, or exercise or anything. Being down in the dumps locking yourself in a room all day long will get you nowhere. Sometimes treating yourself is a must. Treating yourself a movie, play, clothes, books, whatever you like to keep you motivated. Something you can enjoy on your own.
              5. This one thing I mostly do to get active and exercise. I’ve come to the point where exercise or working out can be a get away from loneliness and stress. Besides the fact that it’s also good for your health. It can do both. If I’m feeling lonely or depressed I genuinely grab my running shoes and go to the park close to my flat and enjoy my running time. This is good for your body and soul. I got new running shoes the other day and that makes me love exercise more by wearing the new shoes. Hehe Thanks ever so much to mum for getting me running shoes as the late birthday present. This helps me relieve stress and depression. You can also meet running buddies who frequent your favourite running routes. Hehe stay active stay healthy!
              6. Go on a trip! Bali is the tourism spot I’ve been wanting to visit by far. Saving money and waiting on the perfect time/holiday to come. Then soon I’ll explore. Trigger your adrenaline by travelling on your own to new places you’ve never been to. I travel on my own quite often to be perfectly honest. I do like it though. You don’t have to negotiate other people’s companies and all you gotta do is decide anything you want by your own self. It’s challenging. But when are you gunna try if not now? Hehe
              7. Last but not least, try not to idealize relationships. Being in a relationship is sometimes not that easy as it may seem. And sometimes people in couples could be lonelier than singletons. During your solo time, think about what you want from your friends, family, and other relationships in the future. Remember and keep it in mind that it’s way much better being single and happy than in a bad relationship. All I want to say is enjoy every minute of your life. You deserve to be happy for whatever you do in life. You’re worth getting happiness. You’re worth a good future relationship, and everything good usually is worth the wait. Stay positive. Be happy and content within yourself and never think that you are not worthy because you are not in a relationship, or that you're a "loser" for feeling lonely. Neither of these are true! Instead, remind yourself to look on the bright side of life, and that there's a lot of good things to be gained in moments of singleness and solitude. Cheers.

Talk to you later in a bit. I got to go to sleep earlier. Tomorrow I’ll have to participate the ceremony in school. So I'll rest now! good night wonderful people with wonderful hearts and souls!

When it comes into reality

Posted by Reply



WHEN IT COMES INTO REALITY

After waking up from my sleep, I then suddenly thought of writing down the journey of me getting YMAC (Youth Model ASEAN Conference) scholarship in Singapore. Yeaaaa, I am flying abroad in no time, I couldn’t be any happier than this, really.I have been dreaming of going abroad since I was a kid, now I made it happen, with self-determination and God’s help, nothing’s impossible, even the sky cannot limit you, a quotation by Benjamin Matthias that I would always keep in mind because it brings changes.
It happened a month ago, when this friend of mine posted an information on Facebook and sent it to me on BBM application. First time I didn’t find myself quite interested in applying for it. Not that I quit dreaming, but I may be encounteringbunches of competitors who are more experienced and worth selected rather than me. But, nonetheless, I then remembered song lyrics saying “You’ll never know if you never try”. Its song is called ‘Fix you’ if I’m not messed up with the title, originally sung by Coldplay.
Let’s get the ball rolling. The requirements are writing an essay (it can be about politics, economy, social, culture or even environment. I wrote about culture entitled “Preserving Indonesian Cultures through Cultural Communities by Indonesian Young Generation” which I am a bit knowledgable at, I suppose),  personal statement and form application. I wrote very thoroughly and carefully only in one day. I was in hometown that day, the internet connection over there is not as good as here in Solo. I had come to a decision where I should attempt to go to the internet cafe to send all the requirements to the addressed e-mail. I didn’t expect that much I wasn’t too confident about myself. Time flies, the applicants are narrowed down by the essays and the selected applicants are bound to attend the interview section which was conducted two days before Eid mubarak.
I surprisingly got a text saying that I should attend the interview section of YMAC in Office for International Affairs (KUI). I bumped into a bunch of applicants some of whom I kinda know of and am familiar with. They all have broad knowledge, and already have gone abroad, good at English as well. I was then sitting on a chair, realising that to be here is already awesome and a rare thing. Selected or not, it’s not the matter. The only thing that matters the most is the process I’ve been through itself. I repeatedly said that to myself and planted it in my brain so I won’t be down in the dumps if I didn’t smash the interview. But all the thoughts I had in my mind were wrong, I was informed I was one of the two delegates sent to the programme. How can I be so very lucky? No one understands how chuffed I was. You know what? When it was my turn, I stepped to the interview room with all the nerves. Body was trembling, hands were getting cold all of a sudden, face was a bit pale. It seemed all the applicants had undergone successful interviews. I was sat there on an interview chair right in front of me there were two interviewers. The first question is the common one that I told them about myself in general. The second question was about my organisation and work experience, and on and on till it came to the hardest question which was “Why should we choose you?” I was in a moment of silence. But I think the interview went quite well;)
           My turn done! I packed all my things to bring home and I came over a Javanese souvenir shop to buy my dad a gift, wrapped, done. I was on the bus back home, the atmosphere being on a bus will never be good as I want it to be, all the bus musicians, bus merchantmen/women, it’s so crowded and unorganised. The fact that all the bus drivers here are so rough when it comes to driving in the street, and the children’s cries and screams, the hot wheather at noon, no ventilation, they all add up to boredom and uncomfortability. But what can I say?
            Phone beeps. I thought it was my grandmum messaging me that she’d pick me up. But no, it was from the Office for International Affairs announcing the two selected delegates and I was congratulated on being one of the delegates to participate the ASEAN Conference. I was startled and couldn’t speak anything but Alhamdulillah... this is again a pure blessing. I don’t know how to say thank you to Allah, like, ASEAN conference? It’s very huge! I got it all for free. Things which are covered; plane tickets, accomodation, transportation, meals and etc. I was then urged to apply for a passport after Eid.
         
            FYI guys, for all of you who wants to go abroad and still have 0 clue what requirements to bring to the immigration office to apply for a passport, just chill! I’m gunna tell you how!

First you need to bring:
1.        Photocopy of your KTP (Identity card)
2.       Photocopy of KK (Family-member card)
3.       Photocopy of your diploma
4.      Photocopy of birth certificate
5.       A permission letter from parents
6.       A letter/proof in what sort of condition you’re travelling abroad

         Don’t forget to attach the authentic documents as well. The Imigration office here in Solo opens at 8 am but you need to wait in line to get the queue number. People usually come to the office at 4am in the morning just to get the first number, it’s insane. I went there at around 6.30 in the morning and I had to wait forever to get to my turn. I genuinely got the number at 8 in the morning but I got called upon at 9 am and my documents were processed at 1.30 pm. How crazy that was! It took a half day just to make a passport. Much efforts!
      I was told by the officer to come back later in three days to get the passport. Huh? It’s alright. Been waiting for three days. I came back to the office. Now here it goes, new passport, the door to explore the world is open and already in my hands! Chuffed!
         Now it’s time for me to wait on my departure to Singapore on 3rd of October 2015, I have been thinking out loud about it. I’ll meet up and make friends with foreign people in a forum disucussing and debating things related to ASEAN matters. That would be the most interesting experience I’ll ever have. Right now I’m focused on doing my teaching apprentice here and then my essay. Then graduation!Wish me every success, guys. #Fingerscrossed
I’ll see you a bit later on guys, in my next story. Cheers.

Should the past be remembered or forgotten instead?

Should the past be remembered or forgotten?

Those memories, your existence, dreams we pursued, plans we made, jokes we laughed, all these things cannot ever be changed. You have gone. You have disappeared. You’ve vanished into thin air. But the memories will always be there reminds me of you every time I think about it. You lied. You cheated on me. You didn’t care, at times. I always end up apologizing even though deep down inside my heart still cannot even accept the fact that you would do that to me. I have loved you. I have dedicated my life to you. But in the end, we realize we aren’t meant to be. I get hurt, I get jealous, and I get attached to you way too much. I should have just realized that our love would not last long. It has been more than once year. But I just couldn’t hate you, even if I tried. I couldn’t get you off my mind, even there was someone new trying to come crawling my life. I’ve been thinking about you for the past few months. I’ve been re-reading our old messages even if they are just tiny little pieces things that left. I’ve been missing you. I still hold tight the past in which I know this is wrong. You come and go as you wish. You appear and disappear like the rain in an inconstant weather. Do you even remember those days we got through problems together? Do you even remember the nights we spent together? Do you not even remember you gave me your shoulder to cry on when I was sad? Do you not even remember the jokes we made and the future we planned? I do. I still do remember every single tiny little thing we did. It was fun to be with you. It was the best time I could ever ask for. You were my life. You were the one I put my trust in. You were the one I shared anything with. You were the reason I believed in love. I cried. I laughed. I smiled. I spent my time with you. Even it was just about three months or so. Even it didn’t last long. But you were, and are still there to memorize. I thought you were the one I was going to end up with. I thought you were the one I could die with. I thought you were the one I’m going to share my life with. My thoughts weren’t true. I’ve been in so much pain, but these feelings could not still be erased. I’ve put all attempts to forget about you but in end it results nothing. I think about you more and more.
There are a couple of boys that I’ve communicated with. But none will fit me like you did. They just do not make the cut. They aren’t the same you, the one I expected to be with me. I talked to several friends of mine. Some of them saying I should not care about you anymore for how you treated me badly. Some say I should not get back with you anymore for what you did to me. I was stupid. I still am. For being so ridiculous and cannot stop having feelings for you.
I still have no clue whether it is the right thing to do. I am writing this whilst listening to an old song called ‘when you love someone’. Here are a bit of the lyrics “When you love someone, you’ll do anything. You will do all the crazy things that you can’t explain. You’ll shoot the moon, put out the sun. When you love someone, you’ll deny the truth, believe a lie. There’ll be times that you’ll believe that you could really fly. But your lonely nights have just begun when you love someone. When you love someone you’ll feel it deep inside and nothing else could ever change your mind. When you want, need, love someone you’ll sacrifice. Giving everything you got and you won’t think twice. You’d risk it all no matter what may come. When you love someone”
I’ve been telling my trustworthy friends how I currently feel. Most of their responses are that I should just get rid of our memories, and block you in everything, and not communicating “Easier said than done”. Guys that came to my life cannot replace your position. I’ve tried. In the end I’ve failed. I should just hate you for everything you did to me. To be completely honest, I just can’t and when I can, I always end up thinking of you more. I know feelings are from God. It is a blessing in which I should just enjoy having. Though, it is unrequited.
I wish you happier now than you were with me. There has already been someone else filling your heart and I cannot do anything with it. Feelings are feelings. I appreciated your choice, I just missed the old you, ages ago, not the new you. The way you we used to communicate, the first time we met and the way how you did not care, and the way we weren’t sensitive towards each other. Now the only thing I want to say is that I wish you every success ahead in any conditions you are going to be. You were good to me. I thank you for yesterdays. I thank you for all those memories we used to make together. You’ve taught me that love is a splendor thing. I was truly in love with you. Probably that thing that makes me open my eyes wide for being a better person every single day I get through alone. It’s good being alone rather than being with someone else I don’t have feelings with. I want to stand with you on a mountain and I want to scream out loud together with you at the sea. You used to be everything that I needed. Now I’ve realized I am only living in my life nowadays with memories of us. I have come to a realization where past should always not be remembered nor forgotten. The past has constructed me on how I think and act towards everything I might face in the future. The past and the experiences are worth keeping in mind. They are worth storing in the long-term memory of the brain, the good ones. It’s just funny we were childish fighting with each other unstoppably 24/7. Now I believe you’ve grown up matured. We were communicating a couple of days ago but now you’re gone again. You come and go as you wish. I have no idea when you’ll come back again, or maybe you won’t.
I’ve been strong, I’ve been tough. I shouldn’t dig up the old memories anymore. You may be sick and tired of it. I am sorry. I’m trying to speak what’s inside. And that makes me relieved.
The past should not be forgotten nor remembered. It’s there to give us life lesson and make us more matured in facing any kinds of problems. Some people say experience is the best teacher. Yes, I could not agree more. Because experiences construct us on how we think and act towards something. Your experience may be different from other people. That is why we have different notion or opinion towards something. That’s the fact. That’s the truth. Do not even judge. We more often than not define something based on our experiences. Innit

Nih, Ilmu memantaskan diri. Pantaskan diri dulu yuuk! :')

Posted by Reply


Pantaskan diri yuk!
“Good women are for good men” begitupun sebaliknya “Good men are for good women”  (Surah An-Nuur verse 26).
Wanita yang baik adalah untuk laki-laki yang baik,  laki-laki yang baik adalah untuk wanita yang baik. Kalau dalam versinya mas Ippho Santosa gini “Yang baik-baik untuk yang baik-baik, yang keji untuk yang keji”.
Ini ayat datangnya langsung dari Allah SWT. Jadi jelas sekali, siapa sih yang gak pengen punya pasangan hidup yang sholeh, baik, mapan, pinter baca Al-quran, cerdas, dekat dengan Allah, mampu mengantarkan kita pada Surganya Allah? Sekalipun laki-laki yang tidak baik pasti mendambakan wanita yang baik. Caranya gimana? Pantaskan diri dulu. Yang lagi pacaran, putusin aja! Pantaskan diri! Perbaiki diri!
Tak terelakkan lagi kalau masa remaja masa terjangkitinya kita dengan parah-parahnya virus “CINTA”. Tapi tidakkah ada hal positif lain yang lebih penting untuk dipikirkan dan dilakukan selain menghabiskan waktu dan masa remaja kita yang cemerlang hanya untuk memikirkan masalah perasaan? BANYAK. Banyak hal positif lain yang harus dipikirkan dan ditingkatkan. Prestasi misalnya.
Pacaran itu substantially, pada hakikatnya adalah aktivitas-aktivitas maksiat yang pada awalnya memang sudah dilarang oleh Allah dan Rasulallah. Mungkin banyak orang protes “Eits, gak semua pacaran berakhir dengan maksiat kaleeess?” kita bicara mayoritas dan faktanya saja. Memang gak setiap pacaran berakhir dengan zina, tapi zina berawal karena pacaran.
Cinta memang anugrah dari Allah SWT, dan itulah hal yang memanusiakan manusia. Oleh karena itu cinta ini harus diarahkan sesuai dengan koridor-koridor Islam. Tapi bukan dengan pacaran. Inget bukan dengan cara pacaran! Dan cinta itu tidak hanya cinta pada lawan jenis, Ibu dan bapak kita misalnya yang mungkin kita tidak pernah mengatakan sayang kepada mereka. Nah, kita malah sering ngomong sayang dan cinta gak jelas pada orang yang notabene belum pasti jadi jodoh kita. Tingkatkan nih cinta yang paling terpenting yaitu cinta kita kepada Allah dan Rasulallah yang bakal nganterin kita surge-Nya nanti.
Rasulullah mengatakan “Ketika ada dua orang yang berkhalwat, dimana tidak ada mahram diantara keduanya. Maka yang ketiganya pasti setan”. Dalam hadist lain dikatakan “Tidaklah bersama-sama laki-laki dan wanita yang bukan mahramnya, dan tidak ada mahram diantaranya, kecuali laki-laki ini akan menginginkan berzina dengan wanita”.
Putusin aja deh, istigfar! Repot amat! Allah maha menerima taubat dari setiap hamba-Nya. Yang penting jangan diulangi! Perbaiki diri lah! Kalau kita sibuk memperbaiki diri, jodoh kita sekarang sudah pasti sibuk memperbaiki diri juga. Nanti akan  ada saatnya kita menjemput jodoh, selama masa menunggu pergunakanlah waktu dengan kesibukan yang positif dan produktif. Terus bagaimana cara menjemput jodoh? Dan cara mendapatkan jodoh seperti yang kita inginkan? Ada caranya lho. Belum tahu? Kasian :p
Ada yang bilang “Jodoh itu ditangan Tuhan”. Iya jodoh memang ditangan Tuhan, makanya kita jemput. Kalau tidak dijemput nanti masih ditangan Tuhan terus dungs.
Inget?
Yang baik-baik untuk yang baik-baik, yang keji untuk yang keji”. Artinya apa? Kalau kita ingin jodoh kita baik, nah caranya gimana? Pantaskan diri! Pantaskan diri kita dihadapan Allah. Bukan di hadapan manusia. Kebanyakan dari kita memantaskan diri dihadapan orang. Nah, kalau kita sibuk memantaskan diri dihadapan orang, jodoh kita juga lagi sibuk memantaskan dirinya dihadapanorang. Tapi kalau kita sibuk memantaskan diri dihadapan Allah, jodoh kita sudah pasti juga sedang sibuk memantaskan diri di hadapan Allah. Allah memberikan apapun itu sesuai porsi yang pantas buat kita. Jodoh kita itu refleksi dari diri  kita. Simpelnya gini, ada jodoh nilainya 9 ada jodoh nilainya 8? Pasti semua orang pilih yang 9. Jodoh yang nilainya 9 atau yang 9,5? Ya, yang pasti bakalan milih 9,5 dungs. Nah kalau kita pengen jodoh yang nilainya 9,5, pastikan nilai kita juga 9,5. Kalau semisal nilai kita masih 6, nah perbaiki terus sampai nilai kita nyampe 9,5 biar ketemu tu jodoh yang kita inginkan yang nilainya 9,5 juga. Jadi kalau semisal jodoh kita nilainya 7, bukan mustahil nilainya kita juga 7. Kalau jodoh kita nilainya 6, sudah pasti nilai kita juga 6. Inget? “Yang baik-baik untuk yang baik-baik, yang keji untuk yang keji”. Allah hanya akan memberikan sesuatu yang pantas  buat kita. Jadi ini namanya ilmu memantaskan diri. Coba lihat deh, orang tua, paman, kakak-kakak kita yang sudah menikah. Biasanya saat mereka menjelang menikah, mungkin saldo di bank beda, cakep ya mungkin beda, gelar ya mungkin beda. Tapi apa biasanya yang sama? Amal mereka. Amal mereka yang sama. Karena apa? karena yang baik-baik untuk yang baik-baik, yang keji untuk yang keji”. Yang 6 juga bakalan dapet 6, yang 9 pasti juga akan dapat yang 9. Ayuuuuk kapan lagi? Pantaskan diri sekarang!
Terus terus bagaimana cara memantaskan diri yang benar supaya dapat jodoh yang baik?
Nah, pertama – tama ambil kertas, buat list kriteria jodoh seperti apa yang kita mau. Misalnya kita pengen mendapatkan jodoh yang hafidz Quran, jago, cakep, pinter, keren, tinggi diatas 170cm, berpengalaman lebih dari 2 tahun… lho CV, emang mau ngalamar kerja boss? :’D
Caranya gini, list aja apa yang kita inginkan. Pastikan kita memiliki hal yang sama. Pantaskan diri. Terapkan ilmu memantaskan diri. Karena kepantasan burung untuk dapat makan, dia harus terbang pagi. Kepantasan pengemis untuk dapat uang, dia harus pergi ke tempat yang ramai. Kepantasan kita untuk mendapat jodoh yang baik, kita juga harus menjadi baik. Jadi kalau kita pengen jodoh yang baik yang nilainya 9, pantaskan diri kita untuk mendapatkan jodoh yang nilainya 9 juga. Yuuuuu terus pantaskan diri! :’)

Ketika semuanya berubah

Posted by Reply

Lirik lagunya Keane - Everybody's changing. Bahwa setiap orang itu berubah, pasti. Itu hal mutlak yang tak bisa terbantahkan. So, apa yang harus kita lakukan ketika orang - orang yang ada disekeliling kita berubah? satu kata, empat huruf, dan simple yaitu; SIAP.

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

 So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
(keane- everybody's changing)
Pernahkah kalian berada di posisi ketika kalian merasa semua orang yang berada disekeliling kalian berubah, dan kalian merasa bahwa kalian masih tetap sama, masih sama seperti sebelumnya? PERNAH. Contoh konkretnya saja, sahabat yang selalu ada untuk kalian, yang mungkin kalian kira sebaik superman, superhero atau pahlawan apalah; pasti tanpa keraguan pada akhirnya mereka tidak akan menjadi superhero lagi. Mungkin mereka berubah, menjadi diam, atau bahkan pergi tanpa meninggalkan jejak sama sekali dari kehidupan kalian. Pasangan, pasangan yang menurut kalian adalah seseorang yang nantinya kalian akan  membagi hidup dengan si dia sampai akhir hayat, mungkin baru satu minggu atau satu bulan saja sudah berubah. Karena pada hakikatnya memang NOTHING STAYS THE SAME. Itu semua hal biasa, perubahan dalam diri manusia itu hal yang biasa. Karena sebenarnya Tuhan mengirimkan mereka di kehidupan kalian karena suatu alasan; agar kalian belajar. Ketika kalian dihadapkan pada sesuatu yang membuat kalian senang, ketika itulah Tuhan juga merencanakan sesuatu yang membuat kalian 'lawan dari pada senang'. Jadi, bersiaplah. Kehidupan di dunia layaknya laut; mengalami pasang dan surut, adakalanya kita harus sedih dan adakalanya kita harus senang. Menghadapi kesedihan dan kesenanganpun harus sesuai dengan porsinya; jangan berlebihan. Karena itu memang siklus kehidupan, Tuhan menghendaki dunia ini sebagai tempat bertemunya dua hal yang saling berlawanan, saling berseberangan; kebahagian bersama kesedihan itu pasti. Kehidupan itu gampang dan ruwet, tapi yang harus kita highlight adalah jangan pernah bersedih dan menyesal; hikmah dibalik suatu masalah itu pasti ada dan itu yang membuat kita menjadi lebih dewasa dan tahu lebih jauh. Jangan heran ketika orang-orang disekeliling kalian pergi lalu lalang tanpa permisi, orang - orang yang kalian harapkan akan selalu ada untuk kalian, pada akhirnya akan pergi. Jangan sesali keruwetan hidup kalian, sebab memang demikianlah hidup diciptakan. Pada dasarnya kehidupan ini adalah susah payah dan bercapek-capek. Kegembiraan yang ada di dalamnya adalah sesuatu yang insidental, suka cita adalah sesuatu yang 'minoritas'. La Tahzan!


So, apapun itu yang terjadi dalam hidup kalian, terimalah dan syukurilah seperti lagunya Bondan & Fade 2 black "Janganlah kau bersedih 'cause everything's gonna be okay." Jalani apa yang ada karena semuanya akan baik-baik saja. Dan cintai dan sayangi orang-orang yang ada disekeliling kalian pada saat ini, orang tua, sahabat sahabat kalian, karena kalian tidak akan pernah tahu kapan mereka akan pergi meninggalkan kalian. Beterimakasihlah kepada mereka karena segudang pelajaran yang tak akan pernah bisa terbayarkan, pelajaran-pelajaran kehidupan yang mereka ajarkan dan kontribusikan dalam kehidupan kita, sehingga kita menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik setiap harinya. Cheers :)
