READING DATE WITH MY BESTFRIEND

Pikiran yang Racau.

“Apa betul yang datang padamu adalah kasih setia tak bertepi, ataukah kesepian yang sedang mengerubungi sanubari waras?” adalah tanyaku yang tak mampu dibisikkan padamu, sehingga aku beralih pada mencari ganggang yang tumbuh liar di sungai-sungai kumuh Jakarta. Betul-lah itu, bahwa aku tak tahan dengan busuknya limbah, tapi aku pun tak lebih tahan untuk hidup tanpa menulis tentangmu barang sehari saja.

Dan inilah aku dan rasa tak sampaiku padamu Sang Bintang kecil yang berkelip terang nun jauh di samudera misteri Bimasakti, sungguhlah berani yang bodoh, bagi lumpur di pinggiran Ciliwung untuk mendamba kejora yang cantiknya kekal beribu tahun.

Berduka-lah aku dan hatiku, seketika merasa seperti debuan aspal proyek yang tak kunjung selesai, terbengkalai dan menyusahkan, hanya bisa mengangakan mulut menerima serpihan batu kerikil yang terlempar ke dalam perut dan bertemu asam lambung.

And we might be a 'Richard Papen' somewhere in our life. Looking for place where we can feel desired, needed, and would never get left behind.

thinking about how richard papen was so desperate to find somewhere to belong because of the broken family he came from and he was obsessed with the exclusive class and after joining them he started resembling them, picking up their habits and their attitude, all because he wanted a family, to be included, and yet even after he joined them he still remained an outsider up until the very end. “your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing” is so richard papen

I was in dia.lo.gue Kemang when I saw this art gallery. They are a collection of "Warna-Warna Vol II: Pusparagam Seni Disabilitas Warna-Warna", an art exhibition for people with disabilities. The exhibition will be held until October 13th 2024.

I luckily got to bring home this collection of Albert Camus' book published by Vintage International.

The silence of this night's air rather soothing my mind;

It eases my brain, just like a lullaby does to 2 years old;

Something about tonight, is calming,

caresses my anger and washes away my disappointment;

The drowsiness is there, still;

her wary glance in the corner of the room trying to cast a spell on me yet I ignored it;

Cause I want to be in complete utter silence for once in awhile,

since sleeping sometimes invited dreams I'm trying to avoid;

Am I not allowed to feel peaceful after a long tired fight with my ownself?

March is tough; hence, life still needs to go on.
