LOVE.



What is love?
Who taught you about love?
Where did you read about love?
How do you feel about love?

I can't never really give an exact answer to these questions. When I was a kid, I'd heard that people said my parents love me. I'd gone to the mosque, and people said that God loves us. Then, I'd watched the TV on the independence day, people said that they love their country and nation. I've grown up, and read the teenlit novel, it was something about love between two people. I'd met somebody and my heart beat fastly, somehow I couldn't move, my back felt warm and cold at the same time. That somebody I called "my first love".

They said love is in my heart. But now that I found it's a role of my autonomic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal.

They said love is give and take. But, I'd given my love to someone and never took anything called love from him.

People said, love is good. But, then, their lover hurted them.
People said, love is when you'd never feel alone. But, then, their lover left them.

What is love? Is it something that only surrounded by happiness? Is it fine when you feel sad during loving someone?

I still figure out what's the meaning of love, and how is it in my life. All I know about love is from what the people say. I guess what's my feeling and call it as love. Maybe, I haven't live long enough to have my own words to describe it. Maybe, someday I know what's love for me. But, maybe not today.

Surat untuk cinta pertama saya

Untuk kamu, yang sepuluh tahun lalu, membuat saya hanyut dalam nyanyian lagu First Love, Nika Costa yang diputar di radio. Untuk kamu, yang sepuluh tahun kemudian, membuat saya terisak saat membaca webtoon Matahari 1/2 Lingkar. Hai! Apa kabar? Saya harap kabar kamu baik-baik saja seperti terakhir kali kita mengobrol lewat pesan Facebook, tujuh tahun yang lalu. Kalau dihitung-hitung, ternyata saya sudah kenal kamu selama dua belas tahun, ya? Selama itu juga saya tidak pernah benar-benar melupakan kamu. Hhhh, kenangan tentang kamu, kenapa rasanya sangat membekas? Saya sudah berkali-kali minta pada Tuhan, agar tempat otak saya menyimpan memori tentang kamu itu diformat saja. Biar saya bisa simpan materi-materi biokimia yang bikin saya nangis kejer di semester dua dulu, di situ. Tapi, sepertinya belum dikabulkan. Saya masih saja ingat banyak hal tentang kamu. Saya masih ingat hari di mana saya pertama kali melihat kamu; di lantai dua, tepat di depan ruang guru. Saat itu bel istirahat baru ...

as an INFJ

Yes, as an INFJ... I'm judging. I'm just not telling you... the things you don't wanna hear. I won't put much effort and energy to have arguments with someone else.

I don't know why I fell in love with you, but I felt safe and secure. I could tell what I feel and you listened to me, yo'd never judged me. Dia ngehargain banget ketika aku butuh tenangin diri sendiri dulu. Dia paham kalo aku perlu waktu untuk bener-bener ngerespon emosi sedih dan kecewa aku. Dia tau gimana cara menghadapi dan memvalidasi perasaan dan emosi orang lain. Dia ga maksa aku untuk cerita dan nyelesein semuanya dalam satu waktu. I can't thank enough, bagi aku rotasi stase mayor yg itu cukup berat. Tapi dengan dia, rasanya bisa aku lewati dengan lebih mudah. Jujur sulit banget buat move on. Tapi setelah malam itu dia kasi penjelasan, harusnya aku bisa lebih lega untuk ngelepasin perasaan ini satu persatu. Makasih banget karena udah jadi bagian dari kenangan manisku, terutama saat koas. Aku berharap semoga suatu hari nanti kamu bisa dapet pasangan yang baikkkk banget, yg bisa menambahkan kebahagiaan dalam hidup kamu d...
