Dancing in the Rain

So many of us are waiting for 'someday' to be happy.

Wait for the next level to take a vacation.
Wait for married to be complete,
Wait for end of the year to burst the flame of resolutions,
Wait for Friday to get chill and relax,

And forgetting that we may never have that 'someday'.

Why don't we start from here and now to get chill and relax? To enjoy the chips without waiting the 'after gym' schedule? To eat the cake without have something to celebrate.

Minimalist makes 'now' matter. We simply enjoy the smallest win in our every day. Like the unexpected walk we take to buy veggies across the neighbourhood, or unexpected text from someone you haven't met for so long.

We don't have to wait for married to be loved by a person. Look around and see there are people who are there for you even in your darkest of time. In your ugliest phase.

I learn to enjoy the minutes I have now. As a working-single mid twenties woman. Even if the work is getting crazier and I should shed some tears at some point because of the loaded desk. Dealing with clutters I can't discard (while minimalism encourage me to always discarding the excess).

Now that I learn how to dance in the rain. And I'm quite expert on that, so I can teach you if you want. Take my hand, and follow my lead.

You see, people who say the Sun is a source of happiness, are the people who never try to dance in the rain.

Within the storm I harvest lessons.
Within the rain I sprout my happiness.

I can only do all that things, if I know how to enjoy the minutes I had. Right now.

This is part of self loving anyway.

***

To whoever is going through anxiety..
I pray for your freedom, from your own mind.
I pray that you find peace, and love that you need.
If you need some help, find someone to listen to your heart,
I'll do that. And maybe I won't give any advice unless you ask. Because I just want to hear all the story from you, and feel it for you.

The world is so busy right now.
Let's have time for each other.

Like the river, time is continuosly flowing. And never going back.

Travel Through Time to Raijua

Menuju Raijua.. bahkan perjalanannya adalah petualangan tersendiri. Kamu harus terbang ke Kota Kupang (atau Waingapu), tapi saya memilih Kupang, lalu berlayar dengan kapal cepat selama 5-7 jam untuk menuju Pulau Sabu. Sebenarnya ada beberapa pilihan untuk ke Pulau Sabu dari Kupang, yaitu dengan naik pesawat Susi Air selama kurang lebih 55 menit dengan harga sekitar 1,3 juta, atau naik kapal Ferry lambat dengan waktu tempuh selama 12-13 jam seharga Rp 80 - 120rb per orang, atau naik kapal Ferry cepat yang berangkatnya malam dan sampai di Pulau Sabu pagi (jadi kurang lebih 8 jam juga). Kapal cepat harganya berkisar di 200rb-an, saya sendiri memilih naik kapal Cantika Express kelas VIP seharga Rp 262 ribu. Di dalam kelas VIP Kapal Express Cantika, tapi jendelanya terlalu tinggi untuk bisa duduk lihat laut Tenang, ada jaket keselamatan. Tadinya saya mau bawa sendiri karena takut menyeberang selama tujuh jam. Tapi rupanya yang harus lebih dikhawatirkan itu menyeberang dua jam

Back to my nir-faedah kinda post.

I was on page 184 when a good friend of mine texted and she suddenly poured her mental state. I was frozen for a moment before picking up my self and texted her back with some rational-encouraging words that I wish could help. This is a tough time for us, especially her, with all burden on her shoulder and the recent loss that we've experienced. It's not easy and never getting any easier, so we just have to face it now, embrace the fact that she's gone and feel the stings for a couple years. I finished two books today, one that I read from weeks ago, and one that I just read and not really have much information that I need. When I decided to go on the third book, only when I was halfway distractions started to come. Alright, I put my book aside and try to attend to the only thing I should attend: life. It's been a week since I shut myself in the house. Not going outside, let alone spoke to another human being. I feel weird doing that especially when I used to talk

Definisi orang baik, dari alm Sri Wahyuningsih Djangko

"Mims, ngana kita mo tarek jadi informasi wa.. ( Mim, kamu aku rekrut jadi bagian informasi ya)" ujarnya suatu hari. Kalimat tersebut menjadi awal dari pengalaman kelas sebelas ku yang penuh dengan kesibukan non-akademis. Berorganisasi di OP (Organisasi Pelajar, atau OSIS) sambil berjibaku dengan lomba-lomba debat bersama klub debat. Entah apa yang membuatnya menarikku sebagai anggotanya di Sekbid Informasi, tapi yang jelas ku bersyukur sekali bisa dipilih sebagai partnernya. "Yuk, torang baku pangge apa e? Dorang bahasa so baku pangge 'aner' ... ( Yuk, nama panggilan kita apa nih, anak sekbid bahasa sudah punya panggilan sendiri yaitu 'aner' )" kataku di hari yang lain jauh setelah pelantikan. Dari situ tercetus lah nama Parti alias Partner-Informasi. Aku panggil dia dengan Parti, dia panggil ku pun dengan Parti. Panggilan itu bertahan hingga dua belas tahun kemudian, sampai akhir hayatnya. *** Namanya Yayuk, orang kenalnya dengan nama Yayuk
