What do I do when I missed you?

 

I texted you while driving, and captured this pictures while driving. For you.


When I missed you, the first thing I do is to look at our old pictures. The moments when we were still together, laughing, and teasing each other.

Oh but wait, I don’t have that. Because we’ve never been together in person. I only have the recording from our video calls, when you laughed so hard while I was talking about your new place plan. You were laughing at me, cause you think it’s funny. But I think it’s cute.


What do I do when I missed you but cant look at our photos? I re-read our old conversations. You were a fast responder back then when you were still trying to win me. And I fell for that. I let you in. I welcome you in.

Oh but wait, I have deleted them all now. I have nothing left from what used to be “us” and “ours”. Nothing. I have to delete them. Because it’s too painful for me to read the messages from the last few weeks, when you treated me like garbage. 


What do I do when I missed you but can’t re-read our old texts? I looked at your instagram profile. Just to see who you follow and who follows you back. You dont have much to post there, only the moment when you came to that continent.

Oh but wait. I can’t do that too, because I have blocked you. I blocked you, boss.. I did. The first person I ever blocked out of anger. 


So,

What do I do when I missed you but can’t see anything from you?

I pray. I pray for you. I talk to God about you. I pray so God protects you from everything and make easy on everything for you. Whether we are designed to be together or not, I thank God for sending me you, including the pain you caused. I learned from there. My walls were in pieces and so does my heart. I learn to rebuild them all, putting the pieces back together, alone again. But it is all worthy. As I get to cross path with you and know you in this dunya.


Here’s to the sunset picture I wish to share with you. A route I wish to travel with you. I believe Allah’s plan is better than our plan. So here’s to the memory we never made, plans that will cease to happen, and heart that has been broken. M Y Boss.

Something to Look Forward to

 My life was is great.  At least when I was in my early to mid twenties. Although, at the same time, I was experiencing the first and the biggest heart break of my life, because I broke up with my fiance. We were together for five years and a half, and in the middle of planning a wedding. I was devastated, but not too much. Because during those years, I always have something to look forward to.  I spent the first year of my career exploring Kalimantan and Sumatera. I visited over a hundred villages in remote area. Even those which are not covered by common transportation, and requires all kind of transportation: air, ground, and water.  Life was a constant planning of one field visit to another, or one event after another. I am planning my day to day basis to those goals only.  “Oh I have field visit to North Kalimantan next week, so starting today, my life is heading to that week. I prepare my house to be left alone for a week or two because of that visit…” and so on so forth. I didn

June!! (Again)

Image
  May always has a way to ruin my routine. I lost my grandfather on May 2021 which turns everything upside down. Now, I have my May watching Johnny Depp trial while waiting for the news of Ridwan Kamil's missing son. So many things happened and yet, I can't pause the work. Work flows like a river with infinite end. But it's over now, it's June. The trial has ended (Johnny wins, yeay), the Governor's son still missing, and I am still stuck on my desk, working.  But now I am able to define joy. I always know that joy is from within and we can't rely on external source to be happy. This is June, so I decided to chose joy on daily basis. *** June, 2nd 2022

My COVID Story

Image
  22-02-2022 I got tested as COVID positive. The first time I had Covid since this virus went viral. It wasn't a good Tuesday, at least not for me. I constantly think about death, although I know so many people have recovered from it. I had the symptoms.. pretty badly.. that painful fever, body aching, I cry in my room, I move to the other room and cry in that room, wishing for death. I had sore throat, and hoarse voice. So.. yeah. I got covid. Days went by, and I learn to live with it. It's getting lighter, but what warms my heart is the attention I get from my surroundings. Friends keep sending me food, plenty of them.. frozen food, milk, chocolate, herbs, honey, oat biscuit.. everything I need is here because they're sending me. While writing this post.. which I'm pretty aware it's been a while since my last post.. I have an herb with honey. The herbs is from my bestfriend Hera, and the honey is from my bestfriend since high school, Ijal. I also had a cookie with
