A Letter to The One

     So many of us young people feel insecure because we do not find our "one true love". But that is not true, it's not like we can't find them, we just haven't met them yet. And besides. we do not find love, love finds us. 

     We, being human, missed them, longed for them even if we haven't met them. We should be well-prepare to be the best version of ourselves and greet them with our big, confident self which is more than ready to welcome them into our lives and be our life-long partner.

A Letter to The One

Hello, love.
How are you?
I hope this letter finds you, and it finds you well.
You know, recently I remembered this lyric from 'IDK you yet, by Alexander 23'.

"How can you miss someone you've never met? Cause I need you now but I don't know you yet. 
Oh tell me are your eyes brown, blue or green? And do you like it with sugar and cream?
How can you miss someone you've never met?"

He repeatedly ask that particular question over and over again. Of how can we miss someone we've never met.  
Well, we never want to admit that we need someone to be our forever comfort-area, but we do. 
Because we are human and we, for better and worse, need our "home" with our other half. We need it no matter what.

Companionship, that is, that we seek. 
Even with marriage, we are still our own person. 
Love is about two already-whole person finding each other, bringing up the best in one another. 

Love is never about one person completing each other. We really don’t need anyone to complete us, for we're already complete by ourselves.

So please, love. Whoever and wherever you are, please be well. 
Please pray for me, and I'll pray for you always from wherever I am, too.  
Because God's "whenever" is always greater than ours.

The Family Who Read

I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books. So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...

Label-free

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart...

Learn to Let Go

Let go; letting go : “An act of letting go; to free yourselves from self-destructive things. Be it a thought, a person, a feeling and anything of the sorts. To make peace with yourself.” Letting go of someone or something truly is not an easy task, so easy to say yet extremely difficult to do. I just had a very tough day as me and my friend shouldered something we shouldn’t have. We got caught up in the middle of something so bad, which may affect our future (in a bad way, of course). A “bad luck”, so to say. We’re just some unlucky dude who got involved in some unlucky event, basically just being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Same old story. And so I got home, bursting my anger to an (also) unlucky friend of mine and sure enough, I ended up regretting what I did later. As my head start to think more c...
