Realize How Blessed You Are

~sometimes, you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be~

I move on

I move on. To the next chapter.

Hidup di tahun 90-an, beberapa anak terlahir dari keluarga beruntung, yang orang tuanya sangat sadar akan pentingnya membelikan buku bagi anak-anak mereka dan mampu membelikan banyak buku bagus, buku lokal hingga import.

Sementara aku, boro-boro punya buku cerita yang dibeli di Gramedia, buku sekolah saja seringnya dari hasil peninggalan dipakai abang, atau bertukar buku dengan kenalan mamak, hingga membeli buku bekas di Titi Gantung,

Walaupun begitu, kecintaanku pada membaca meruntuhkan semua tembok keterbatasan. Perpustakaan di sekolah menjadi langgananku meminjam buku, dulu suka dengan karya sastra lawas hingga cerita lima sekawan-yang akhirnya aku bongkar celengan dan ganti buku baru gara2 sehabis pindah rumah bukunya hilang. Teman-teman pun ‘kumanfaatkan’. Aku sering main ke rumah mereka, hanya untuk membaca buku di perpustakaan kecil yang ada di sana. 

Dari tak punya hingga bisa memiliki. Dari tak sanggup, hingga mampu. Satu hal yang aku sadari adalah kecintaanku pada buku dan kegemaranku pada membaca tidak pernah luntur.

Sekarang, beruntung hidup sudah jauuuuh lebih baik. Bisa membeli dan membaca satu novel dalam sebulan sudah merupakan kebahagiaan tersendiri. Pun beberapa kali ikut bedah buku dan minta dikadoin buku, juga menambah koleksi.

Hidup memang sesederhana, aku mencintai buku dari masa aku tidak mampu hingga aku sanggup membeli sendiri bukuku.

Find you a man like Lord Grantham~

But, be like Lady Grantham first, beautiful mind, good personality, sensible and a pure goddess.

Being hurt is a part of life. That is not easy, though.

Space and time.

You are who you are. Don’t doubt yourself, you are great as you are. There is always someone who loves you whatever goes wrong. You are very tough and realistic. I am so proud of you. The problem is with him, not with you. I think he can not appreciate a very special woman. I think he will look back and regret it. I think his work takes too big part of his life. So, he can not have a normal loving relationship. Give him space and time.

The night when I smell your shirt, something inside my heart - tingled. I just miss your presence.

Kalau beda pulau membuat kita rindu, belum tentu satu kota membuat kita jumpa. Kadang kita lupa, berjumpa itu tentang usaha, bukan tentang jauh dekatnya kita.

Ya kan? (via sundarirespati)

Lah, benar.

Everything heals. Your body heals. Your heart heals. The mind heals. Wounds heal. Your soul repairs itself. Your happiness is always going to come back. Bad times don’t last.

Don’t ever put your happiness in someone else’s hands. They’ll drop it. They’ll drop it everytime.

Do you ever realize how badly you’re going to miss a moment while you’re living it? Like wow, these are the good days. I am here and I am happy and I feel alive.
