My Twin

Let me tell ya. I have a twin and she does exists. She comes along with me whenever and wherever I go. As twins, of course we are alike physically because she lives in me. You barely can find any different like you easily can do in other twins, except one thing. She is Shadow and I'm Soul. She has set a war since when we were born. I just realised recently, unfortunately. I was beaten down so many times, I only won, let me tell ya, by finger counts. 
Shadow has a raspy voice and she demands to be claimed that she exists. Now I reveal to you all. Remember, she is the reason I'm getting weak. She sets me in a war with a lot of people in my life without me realising she is the real enemy. Yes, my twin is my real enemy. She stabs me from behind very often. I get anxious a lot with my life and the people surrounding me because of her! She can easily beat me down because she knows me better than all of you do. Because she knows my weakest point.
Shadow is really so powerful, let me tell ya. Don't you dare stare into her eyes because you will be trapped in a provocative scene of hers.

But...

Don't you be afraid. I'm still here. 
Now that I know she exists, I dare to fight her.
I'm not sure I can be strong all the time.
But I'm a weak girl with many angels.
They will help me and hold me still.

Like Maya Angelou I will rise...
Like Sia I will fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry...

I know that from now on her attack won't diminish even for the slightest amount of it...
I reckon she'll get tougher and stronger, but...
So do I.

Because enemies can only be fought only when you realise they exist. 
And as long as you have a great enemy within you that you haven't even fought yet, you will be weak from many small attacks outside you.

Menjadi Pribadi yang Merdeka Secara Emosional

  Bab buku-buku dan video yang saya renungkan awal pekan ini secara serempak mengarah pada tema "mengampuni dan membebaskan diri dari ikatan emosional". Menjadi pribadi yang merdeka. Inner peace. Mungkin kebetulan, mungkin algoritma. Entahlah. Renungan ini saya bagikan karena dengan berbagi, saya menerima lebih banyak untuk pertumbuhan saya sendiri.   Kita acapkali terjebak dalam dalam ikatan syarat "jika".    Aku bahagia jika anakku bisa bermain musik.  Aku senang jika rumahku rapi dan bersih.  Aku merasa cukup jika gajiku cukup untuk mencukupi kebutuhanku.   Tanpa sadar, jika kondisi di belakang kata "jika" tidak terpenuhi, yang terjadi adalah negasi dari luapan sukacita tadi.   Suamiku tidak mendukungku, aku tidak bahagia. Anakku tidak diterima di PTN terbaik, aku kecewa berat. Dia tidak mengikuti aturan yang sudah kubuat, aku sangat kesal.   Sukacita kita terikat syarat. Ini berdampak pada inner peace kita se...

The World to You

That’s the time when everything turns to yellow… You don’t know where the place you need to go.. The world is cruel… As cruel as hunger tiger… As cruel as 77 years drought... Never let you survive with smile... Often makes you take a revenge.. The world is so cruel... But please, don’t change yourself dear.. You’re so worthwhile... You are priceless.. The world may be cruel.. But you, dear… Never born to be…

First, trust God, the rest is do your best.

Di saat kita putus asa, kita baru lari ke Tuhan dan berusaha mengandalkan Tuhan. Padahal, seharusnya Tuhan diandalkan sejak awal, bukan di saat-saat kita sudah putus asa. Kita sering dengar kutipan, "Do your best, let God do the rest." Aku ingin membalik sedikit, "Trust in God in the first place, the rest is do your best." Jangan mencari-cari Tuhan dan mengandalkan Tuhan di saat-saat akhir, carilah DIA sejak awal dan andalkanlah DIA terus sampai akhir.
