Humanity as they said

-
    Current bad situation that happened in some of country inspire me to write down about what I feel and share some point of view from the writers that have same opinion as mine. It's not only about the racism issue as one of never resolved problem in the world that I want to talk to, it's about why not begin to "make a change" from our personal mindset then to our closest circle relationship and people around us. Just like Cleo Wade said about how to stay connected to your soul: "When something happens in the world that is wrong, don't try to move on with your life like it's right. The voice within you says "this is not okay" is a direct call from the basic goodness of your spirit. Pick it up and stay on the line until you figure out how to help."

    The older we get the more we realize just how mature we are becoming, that's why we have to understand life feels different for every person. Yups, sometimes we forgot that every person is still human no matter what form or label they hold you in your eyes, soul, and heart. It's not just a perspective, it's about understanding we all come from different walks of life. We all carry story to share that has hurt, broken, or made us feel agonized even to this day. So, when you look into person in front of you, no matter how rude or cruel they may be, remind yourself they might have been where you are at one point in their life. They may still be in pain. They might still carry trauma they have yet to discover and heal from. They might still be longing to feel their humanity. Someone willing to meet the place where the pain resides. Don't focus on what they show you. Focus on where the came from. Focus on the parts to themselves that look like haven give up but are longing for someone to let them know, they aren't lost causes. They aren't hopeless souls. Be the person who understand. Don't let them be the reason you choose to hurt someone else.

"This is a moment of introspection, learning, and action. What can we read now to better inform ourselves? Are there blocks that are stopping us from feeling empathy towards situation that are dissimilar from our own? Is fear controlling our inner narrative and understanding the world? How we can show up in a way that supports the creation of a better society? The answer will be different depending on our personal conditioning. Since we are all imperfect, there is ample room for growth and expansion for each of us." - Young Pueblo

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
