A Dreamer's Thoughts

In my mind I could do anything.

In reality, there's so much thing I couldn't do. Some of it might even could never be done.

Some years ago, I'd make targets and lists. Tons of them. Taking advantages of being young and safe inside my parents' bubble of comfort. It was the time when you dare to dream. 

If you work hard, you'll succeed.

Then I had to tear up the bubble and get out, take a sip of the real world.

Just a teaspoon, not the whole cup.

I thought I work hard.

But then I failed.

And failed.

It's been sometimes since I put down the targets, lists and plans.

Yet, some of those remain in the subconscious, build up expectations. Again.

I told myself hundreds times, not to. Yet, there still is.

I hate being disappointed. I thought I've been disappointed enough. Yet, there seems to be much more disappointments to come.

I'm affraid of tomorrow.

When I should take the whole cup, in one shot. When even what's left from my dreams would seem larger than the reality.

I'm excited about tomorrow.

I want to see what it will become of me: struggling and succeed like normal people; being finally able to provide the comfort bubble for those, who once built it for me.

And at the same time, build a new bubble for myself too.

Because I need that. Desperately.

Now I'm trying to do my best and if I fail again, maybe it's just not the time yet.

HE knows better.

Bicara Cinta

Nggak tau kenapa, ya... beberapa bulan terakhir gue laris jadi teman curcol. Tema curcolnya? Apalagi kalo bukan perpacaran dan cinta-cintaan.

Di satu sisi gue dengan senang hati mau mendengarkan cerita mereka dan memberikan saran sebisa gue. Hal ini didukung 10% oleh kadar kekepoan gue yang lumayan tinggi, sisanya, yah simply gue seneng bisa berguna dikit buat temen-temen gue.

Di sisi lain, gue bertanya-tanya sendiri... Mengapa kawan-kawan ini mencari saran ke gue, jomblowati yang hubungan pertama dan terakhirnya habis dimakan jarak dan kandas di tengah jalan? WHY? WARUM?! Diriku juga masih belajar soal cinta-cintaan, yo masnya, mbaknya... Tapi, tetep, gue seneng kalau ada yang curcol ke gue, apa pun temanya. ;D  #kepo #bukalapak

Jadi, begini... Berdasarkan kisah-kisah yang gue dengar dari sesi-sesi curcol ini, inti kegalauan teman-teman gue adalah: hati vs. otak; perasaan vs. logika.

"Kalau dia begitu terus gue nggak sanggup."
"Ya udah, lu selesain aja."
"Tapi, gue masih sayang..."
"..."
Kira-kira begitu.
