A Moment to Remember

Jalan Pulang

[karimamomenten]

Semakin dewasa dan semakin tua manusia, pusaran arus kehidupannya menjadi semakin kuat, dan itu sangat terasa sekali. Aku sampai merasa harus selalu berdoa dan bersholawat setiap waktu agar terselamatkan oleh Yang Maha Kuasa. Bahwa meskipun arus kehidupanku deras namun aku masih berada dalam genggamanNya sampai akhir waktu nanti.

Sebuah reseptor, batas, tembok, atau pintu yang awalnya terkunci rapat, apabila ditrabas terus menerus maka ia akan rusak dan menjadi resisten, toleran, atau permisif terhadap sesuatu yang buruk atau musuh dari luar sana.

Musuh itu bisa merusak sistem di dalam sampai sesuatu itu tidak sadar kalau ia telah menjadi abnormal.

Orang normal yang lewat dan melihat dari luar akan terheran-heran, "kok bisa sih dia menjadi begitu?".

People can be as wild as animal or as dark as evil because they cannot keep their gate closed and their system safe.

Adulting is having self-question like "what if I can't overcome this?".

I begin to understand people who really can't see any light even when others give them one.

Maybe because they don't want to open their window pane, they are too scared to be wounded all over again. There's no one left to trust.

So they can only take steps on a darkness and go on a life with a blind path, hoping that they will arrive at a place full of happiness they didn't have it before.

It's my life. Don't you dare to judge!

“Even when I’m at the age to be a mother, my mother always be my guardian angel. Calling her by the name Mom is something that has the power to tug at my heartstrings. Mothers are always strong”

I need to find the most simple thing that can make me happy for a very long time.

I think it is a gratitude in every second of my life.

[karimamomenten]

My outside world may offer much great things. Though it's not the best thing here that I can ever have, I am happy and content.

A mother is the heart of her family. If she begins to falter, then what happens to everyone else? A mother must be brave in spite of what lies ahead.

Kadang serba salah juga ya punya circle orang-orang pintar. Hey you, I wish I could be someone like what you expect me to be as smart as you.

[karimamomenten]

I always have this feeling of mediocrity. Something that makes me think I am so dumb, yet push me to learn more and more.

Reading Sapiens makes me realize that humans have already caused the devastations on the planet earth thousand years ago.

It might be the reason God chose Adam to lead as a khalifa for the other human beings at that time though a protest came with uncertainty.

But God insisted that He knows anything we don't have any knowledge about.

So if now we're still witnessing the devastation everywhere on a planet earth, question ourselves. Have we become a khalifa of our own? God has been giving the clues on how to be khalifa through His revelations.

Hai. Entah mengapa akhir-akhir ini aku begitu manja pada Tuhan. Dalam sadar dan mungkin tak sadarku, aku menyebut-nyebut nama-Nya meminta pertolongan karena aku sebegitu tak percaya diri. Sekali lagi Tuhan, tolong aku.

Kinanthi, look at me, Nak.

You are just perfect in every way..

She is a miracle in my life, the best gift from God.
