6 Things I Learned Before 18th

1. Wait for the guy who wants to know you, the one who wants to know your mind. Wait for the guy who wants to read your deepest thoughts, who asks to hear the stories behind your scars, who listens to your passions, as well as your cries of stress. Don't settle for small talk or "what's up". Wait for the guy who wants to know you better than you know yourself.

2. Love your parents. Life changes. A lot. You won't come home from school everyday to see your mom cooking dinner and your dad watching the news. The way you see things won't stay this way forever. So don't yell at your parents and pray that the day you leave for college will come sooner- trust me, you'll wish for these simple days at home when you're halfway across the country with only a picture frame to hold.

3. Learn to love yourself. Your flat chest, your freckled face, your curly hair, your muscular legs. Whatever it is, you're perfectly made. Completely set aside from every other person. That in itself is something to love.

4. Cry if you need to. Don't let people tell you that crying is weak; it's healthy. Sometimes the world gives us too much at once and it's okay to let it out.

5. If you find a best friend- a true best friend- never let her go. Some family is place in your life differently. You may go your separate ways but your love will stay the same. Buy an airplane ticket to visit her your sophomore year of college, save up the money. I promise it will be worth it. You will see her and although her hair color is darker and you can hardly remember her voice, somehow nothing will have changed. If you find a friend like this, do not trade her for the world.

6. Change is the only constant in life. Accept change, and don't let it scare you. These years ahead are the craziest of your life. Within a few months, you could be laughing in a coffee shop with eight new friends from eight different cities. You could be in love, or falling out of it. You could be on a train to London or Indiana. Anything can happen. Yes, change is scary, but change is the only thing keeping us alive

How broken I really am

You feel so lonely.
And you start to cry.
But nobody understand.

Nobody sees.
Just how broken you really are.

Moga Bunda Disayang Allah

Bunda,
Saat kami bayi, engkau orang yang terakhir tidur setelah dunia lelap,
Bahkan boleh jadi tidak tidur, agar kami bisa nyenyak, 
Dan engkau pula yang pertama kami lihat saat kami terjaga.

Bunda,
Saat kami kanak-kanak, engkau orang terakhir yang putus rasa sabarnya,
Bahkan boleh jadi tidak pernah, walau orang-orang lain telah jengkel setengah mati,
Dan engkau pula yang pertama membesarkan hati.

Bunda,
Saat kami gagal, engkau orang yang terakhir berputus asa, 
Bahkan boleh jadi tidak pernah, meski seluruh dunia sudah berhenti berharap,
Dan engkau pula yang pertama menghibur.

Bunda,
Saat kami ragu-ragu, engkau orang terakhir yang hilang keyakinan,
Bahkan boleh jadi tidak pernah pergi, meski sekitar telah menyerah,
Dan engkau pula yang pertama berbisik tentang janji-janji.


Walaupun,
Saat kami besar, boleh jadi engkau orang terakhir yang kami hubungi,
Bahkan boleh jadi tidak pernah, karena alasan sibuk atau apalah.

Walaupun,
Saat kami bahagia, boleh jadi engkau orang terakhir yang tahu,
Bahkan boleh jadi benar-benar amat terlambat, karena alasan tidak sempat atau apalah.

Bunda, 
Diantara bisik-bisik do'amu, sungguh terselip beribu nama kami,
Dan boleh jadi itulah yang membawa kamihingga seperti hari ini,
Engkau orang terakhir yang akan berhenti mendo'akan kami,
Bahkan boleh jadi tidak pernah berhenti hingga, akhir hayat.
Dan sungguh, engkau pula orang yang pertama mengucapkan kata Amin bagi kami.




*Puisi Moga Bunda Disayang Allah. -Tere Liye

BELLAMORE

Teman, mari kubisikan padamu
kisah tentang sebuah keindahan cinta
yang pernah hadir menghangatkan hatiku
dengan membawa beribu rasa bagi sang jiwa.

Namun ternyata takdir memiliki rahasia
yang tak dapat kupahami dengan pasti.
Cinta itu pun terenggut dariku membawa semua asa
serta menorehkan luka pada jiwa nan sepi ini.

Kukira takkan pernah kumiliki lagi sebuah cinta
dengan keindahan yang mampu membuatku terlena.
Namun takdir memang memiliki sebuah rahasia
yang akhirnya dapat kupahami sepenuhnya.

Jadi mari kuingatkan lagi padamu
akan pepatah tua yang pernah berkata
bahwa mencintai sesorang tak harus selalu
dibarengi dengan memiliki raganya semata.

Dan inilah yang menjadi pemahamanku.
Walau telah kumiliki cinta sejati yang baru,
namun kutahu cinta yang pernah kumiliku dulu
akan selalu menjadi bagian dari kenanganku.

Bellamore-
Beautiful love.
...dan itulah kisahku tentang keindahan cinta
yang kerlipnya akan hidup di hati selamanya.

Ragusa, Italian southern peninsula.
