Friend  : How can someone possibly be happy and sad at the same time? Me       : Ever had a great news you can't share?

Kadang hidup bersimpang di tiga atau empat tepi Terhuyung, menarik ulur perasaan seperti secarik layangan di pinggir jalan Melayang. terbang. tersentak dengan benang kaca yang mengiris hati di persimpangan Angin malam beritakan kabar "dia berlayar bebas dan kuat di dunianya" Seorang pemukim di setepi pulau perasaan, Menepi dan menjawab "telah lama biarkan dia pergi dariku namun tidak dari hatiku" Menatap biru, tarian ombak bergejolak. perasaan turut bergejolak. Menoleh kiri dan kanan, akhir ku melihat ke dalam Sesanggup apa diri menunggu sebuah pelayaran, sebuah penantian? Duduk bertepi dengan pantai, buah pikiran teringat Selalu akan menunggumu, agar tak lagi jauh Di sini...

It’s been two weeks since I moved to Netherlands, and unlike many other people who always complain about leaving Indonesia for western country, I, to be honest, am enjoying my stay here. Hahaha.

I always feel that I never learned from my mistakes. I knew that opening myself up to others could help me in a way. Knowing that someone else knows about the burdens I bear. And having the sense of security that they are facing the same things too. But opening myself up also leads to bigger chances to get hurt. Because when I opened up, I let myself to get emotionally attached. I took the trouble of letting someone know who I am, and getting to know that person as is. And as a person, I HATE attachments. It ruins your rationality. It clouds your judgments. It makes you think immaturely. It makes you feel dependent to a certain person. And the worst things about attachments: you start to expect things. you start to assume things to be better than they actually are. you start misreading the signals given to you. I am fully aware of these consequences. I know there are things that I will regret doing. But I still choose to do them anyways. What is that? Is it stupidit
