Random words about marriage

-
When I just found some beautiful words from an account of Instagram and need to re-write it all for my #selfnote and maybe it can be inspired random people that read my blog. Here we go!



"We look forward to getting married because we are excited to have someone in our life that will keep us steadfast on the the deen and bring us closer to Allah. Someone that will increase us in piety and learn alongside us. But the responsibilities after marriage and endless and time runs short in the day. The time to learn about your deen, the time to improve yourself, the time to develop piety is before you're married. When your responsibilities are strictly to yourself  and your development. I'm not saying you won't develop further after marriage, because you most certainly will. But how can you expect to marry a person that will increase you in piety when such a person probably expects a spouse that has already reached a level of piety from which they feel they can learn from? It's a balance. You must develop into the person you wish fulfilled by them, and traits they lack will be filled by you, Insyaa Allah. But, don't wait for marriage to increase your piety. Don't hope that anyone else is responsible for your development, but you."

Di suatu tempat

Dalam diam ku melangkah perlahan dan dengan enggan memilih salah satu diantara deretan kursi yang tersedia. Aku melipat kaki dan mulai kembali menekuni buku yang sedang ku genggam. Ku baca dengan seksama goresan tinta hitam yang berbaris rapi di putihnya lembaran kertas. Namun sepertinya pikiranku tidak dapat fokus. Ku arahkan pandanganku ke kanan dan ke kiri, yang terlihat hanyalah deretan kursi tanpa penghuni. Suatu harapan tiba-tiba berkelebat dalam pikiranku. Suatu harapan yang sepertinya tidak mungkin terjadi saat itu. Angin bertiup lembut menerpa wajahku, seolah hadir untuk menyadarkanku. Aku pun kembali menatap kosong buku di hadapanku. Entahlah aku merasa terkadang harapan dan kenyataan dapat dengan mudah disatukan. Tak berapa lama, tampak beberapa orang mulai berdatangan dan mengisi kursi-kursi kosong di sekitarku. Ku tatap sekilas wajah mereka, namun semua terlihat asing. Tak ada yang ku kenal. Tapi yang pasti aku tak lagi sendiri. Sudah saatnya menghadapi dunia yang se

How Busy!

Sibuk!  Sibuk, satu kata yang menjadi sebuah alasan yang sempurna untuk menjalani sebuah kehidupan. Kalau tidak sibuk, sesorang seperti tidak berguna. Walaupun sibuk tidak berarti selalu sedang mengerjakan hal-hal positif, namun entah mengapa setiap orang seakan-akan berlomba-lomba mencari kesibukan. Ada yang dengan mudah melakukan kesibukan karena sudah menemukan tujuan hidupnya pada saat itu, contohnya seperti para pekerja, pelajar, ataupun mahasiswa “sejati”. Namun tidak sedikit yang masih mondar-mandir mencari kesibukan karena bingung ingin melakukan apa :p  Saya berharap “sibuk’ jugalah alasan saya meninggalkan kegiatan tulis-menulis hingga tanpa terasa telah vakum setahun lebih mengisi catatan di blog ini. Dengan begitu saya bisa tenang, karena tidak merasa bersalah telah melupakan hobi lama saya yang mana artinya rantaian kata-kata (baca: pemikiran) di kepala saya tidak tertuang sedikit pun. Entahlah, menjelang masa akhir kuliah banyak kegiatan baru bermunculan yang tak

Life is Good

Sometimes change means starting over. Don’t be afraid to do that. At times, you need to overhaul your life to see your steps ahead. So whatever you’re experiencing, don’t be afraid to start over. This time, you’re not starting from scratch but you’re starting from experience! When inevitable situations make you deem yourself unworthy, be fearless enough to find and to cultivate a dream that you haven't yet achieved. You'll feel empowered when you discover how special and valuable you are, when you finally see it for yourself. Just let your better self is laugh about yesterday and look forward for more opportunities for growth tomorrow. Just realize it's a month already, after I came back to Jakarta after Eid Holiday and feels like a lot of blessing comes unexpectedly. As I (always) believe that Allah's plan is better than mine, so it's like a reminder for (always) tried to be a better one, more patient, and more conscious to Allah. Just because
