“Reading isn’t important because it helps get you a job. It’s important because it gives you room to exist beyond the reality you’re given. Reading makes the world better. It is how humans merge. How minds connect. Dreams. Empathy. Understanding. Escape. Reading is love in action.”

— Matt Haig (via ingenueininglenook)

“Men who are afraid to feel keep women around to do their feeling for them while dismissing us for the same supposedly ‘inferior’ capacity to feel deeply. But in this way also, men deny themselves their own essential humanity, becoming trapped in dependency and fear.”

— Audre Lorde, ‘Man Child’ (via scientificphilosopher)

Jakarta Hujan Hari Ini

Adakah lebih mesra dari Jakarta yang diguyur hujan?

Yang tetesannya mengaburkan kaca

Dan membuatmu menerawang jauh

Adakah yang lebih sendu dari Jakarta yang diguyur hujan?

Yang mengaburkan lampu tapi membuat jalan raya saja begitu syahdu

Adakah yang lebih manis dari Jakarta yang diguyur hujan?

Di luar jendela ku lihat sepasang muda mudi duduk rapat menahan dingin

Adakah yang lebih miris dari Jakarta yang diguyur hujan?

Pengemis duduk di pinggir jalan menggigil, tak tersisa kering di pakaiannya

READ: The Story of Kyle and How Little Actions Can Change Lives

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.”

I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. […]

Put Jesus first

[thequotejournals]

Stop apologizing. You don’t have to say sorry for how you laugh, how you dress, how you make your hair, how you do your makeup, how you speak. You don’t have to be sorry for being yourself. Do it fearlessly. It’s time to accept: this is you, and you gotta spend the rest of your life with you. So start loving your sarcasm, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your peculiar habits, your unique sense of humor, your voice, your talents, your everything. It will make your life so much easier to simply be yourself.

Boleh kah ku pinjam waktu mu sebentar?

Saat matahari hendak pulang ke peraduan

Dan guratan jingga menggaris birunya langit

Duduklah disini,di depan ku

Biar ku liat mata sayumu yang kecoklatan bertemu dengan cahaya sore

Lalu bicaralah

Bicara apa saja

Musik metal favoritmu

Politik Ekonomi kegemaranmu

Bolehkah sejenak aku melari dari takdir yang emoh menggaris kesempatan

Aku menyesali takdir

Mengapa dia hanya menciptakan kata hampir diantara dua insan

Dan kemudian memisahkannya ke zona waktu masing-masing

Menghilang tanpa bekas

Hanya rindu yang ikut larut dalam bayangan tubuhnya

Kelopak matanya masih terbuka

Tapi yang dipikirnya adalah sebuah luka

Luka yang sembuh sebentar lantas diberi cuka

Mungkin dia harus memalingkan muka

Dan menghapus mesranya suka

Membiarkannya menguap meski disergap duka

[parapdoo]

Hari ini hari rabu

dia ditutup abu

Berharap dirinya ada dalam bayang kelabu

Kenapa hatinya nelangsa merana sendu

Apakah dia menantikan pada hari baru

Atau hanya terpaku guratnya masa lalu

you are growing beautifully even if you are growing slowly, even if you are struggling.

[iambrillyant]

“if your soul has no words and feels quiet today, if your heart feels empty and in need of furnishing, i hope you remember that your existence is not defined by anyone else’s love, or the lack of it. i hope you’re feeding your solitude with self love instead of loneliness.”

One of the things that cannot be taken from you is the love you cultivate for yourself within you.
