Alasan untuk Bersyukur (2)

coba diingat-ingat kembali, siapa nama teman sebangku waktu kelas 3 SD dulu. nama lengkap lho, bukan nama panggilan. masih ingat?

atau coba diingat-ingat kembali, 2 tahun yang lalu, tepat di hari ini, 27 september, kita ngapain? ingat gak? kemungkinan besar gak akan ingat kalau bukan peristiwa yang penting-penting amat.
gak usah lama-lama deh, sebulan yang lalu tepat di tanggal segini juga, masih ingat gak makan malam pake apa?

Alasan untuk Bersyukur

kita -homo sapiens, adalah satu-satunya spesies yang memakan dan menikmati makanan pahit. biji kokoa yang jelas-jelas pahit, kita bikin cokelat batangan dan kita mau-mau saja membelinya dengan harga yang lumayan mahal. demikian halnya dengan kopi, sudah jelas pahit tapi kita minum juga, ditambah lagi kita asosiasikan dengan senja dan larik-larik puisi (sebagian orang sih, bukan kita semua). tak lupa pare yang juga berasa pahit yang hakiki, dibuat siomay dan banyak pula yang menyukainya. dan masih banyak lagi, olahan-olahan dari makanan dan minuman yang memiliki citarasa pahit yang kita nikmati.

So Many Stories Untold

it's getting rarer and rarer for me to write to write. only one post per month during the last three months. what the hell is wrong? i don't know. the truth is, i really want to write some stories. want to share something over this platform so that one day i can learn and laugh at myself for how silly my past  was.

just not now. first, not so many will read it anyway, or probably it will be just me. second, i think it's not the right time to share it online. there are things you'd rather save for yourself. third, back to first reason.

i hope you all have a good day.

100wordstory: Love Just Sufficiently

Once a wise man said, "Love someone just sufficiently.” At first, I didn’t understand what he said.

Until one day I met this girl. She was just ordinary at first, just like the others. In fact, many other girls were better. She was just moderately good looking, moderately tall, and moderately fat. But unlike others, she was extremely caring. It made me fall even deeper into her. I’d made her my everything, my whole universe, purpose of life.

Then other day she suddenly left me. Saying "feeling can change" as if nothing happened.

I finally understood what the man said.
