Rayakan dengan sederhana

Selamat berlebaran di tengah kesederhanaan

Merayakan hakikat idulfitri, yang sebenarnya tak pernah menuntut gebyar
Hanya soal kembali ke fitrah diri
Memaafkan orang lain, juga diri sendiri

Tidak semua harus dimaafkan hari ini
Maafkan dulu saja diri sendiri agar lebih terasa ikhlasnya
Sebab ikhlas tak pernah jadi pelajaran mudah sejauh ini

Selamat Hari Raya Idulfitri
Mohon maaf apabila pernah tidak sengaja atau bahkan (terasa) sengaja menyakiti

Ramadhan dan Raya dalam keadaan lebih baik,
Semoga tahun depan kita semua diberi kesempatan...

Ramadhan-ku tentang Ikhlas (Lagi)

Tiap-tiap Ramadhan,
Allah terus ulangi pelajaran ikhlas.
Lebih nyata dari bulan-bulan lainnya.

Melepas jalin yang sempat erat (hampir) terikat.
Merelakan mimpi yang diperjuangkan begitu keras.
Dan kali ini,
Menunda rindu yang hanya waktu dapat tentukan temu.

Mari percaya saja,
Pun tanpa perlu bicara rasa,
Semua pasti berikan makna..

At the times of struggle,
Oftentimes I wonder,
Why must these be so hard?

Later did I realize,
Never once I asked God for an easy life,
As easy life is not a meaningful life,
And never will be.

So,
It is ok to struggle,
We all struggle..

Dalam Perjalanan

Aku sedang dalam perjalanan tentang melepaskan.
Jika sudah sampai, aku ingin barang sekejap menenangkan diri ke ruang jeda
Melatih hati agar sabarnya meluas, syukurnya melangit, dan maafnya mudah untuk diberi.

Mau bagaimanapun, ada sesuatu yang harus kita ikhlaskan
Sekuat apapun kita berusaha,
sekuat apapun kita berdoa,
sekuat apapun kita meminta.

Lalu pada akhirnya,
aku putuskan tuk ikuti kata semesta
Membiarkannya menuntunku pada rencana-Nya..

We all wish to belong.
It is through those who care deeply about us that we find love and purpose of life.
After all, we are all imperfect beings who need one another.

Aku beberapa kali merelakan mimpi,
karena kata Tuhan,
"Bukan, bukan yang itu."

Dan kali ini,
ternyata tentang kamu pun begitu...

Oh, this is what lost feels like...

She laid her body on the bed right after she got home. As she closed her eyes, a thousand thoughts buzzed her mind.

It was a long, draining day. She thought she could rest after she got home. Yet her mind did not seem to desire the same thing; it did not stop wandering.

She stared at the ceiling; thinking of the feelings, doubting the decision that has been taken, beating herself up with the 'what ifs'. Her 16-meter-square room became so noisy that night. She was drowned beneath the waves of her own thoughts, made of despair. She did not cry, her tears have dried, but, unfortunately, the pain still drowns. These days she does not know who she is. These days she does not where she is. These days she does not know; she is lost.

She then closed her eyes once more for 5 seconds to quiet her mind. She opened her eyes and eventually came back to her senses.

As her mind started turning down, the feeling of emptiness crept in...


—Life is indeed harsh on her lately. But she believes that things will seem much better in the morning light. So will she.
