GREY AREA


One day a friend of mine came to me and randomly questioned, “How can I be possibly stayed in that grey area for a year?”, and all i have is a little bit twisted by her questioned.
Before I go any further, do you know what kind of ‘GREY AREA’ that I’m talking about?. ‘GREY AREA’ is a phase in a love life relationships which can be more destructive than you can imagine, at least that’s what I thought. Actually it’s more complicated than I thought.

One thing I know, bahwa moment ‘GREY AREA’ tidak pernah memandang waktu & tempat. It can coming close to you anytime. Dan biasanya dari sebuah hubungan tersebut, hanya ada satu pihak yang merasa sadar bahwa dirinya sedang berada pada zona ketidak pastian dalam suatu hubungan, sedangkan pihak satunya lagi tidak merasa apa-apa atau mungkin pura-pura tidak merasa apapun.

For example is miss Nina. Dia pernah merasa berada di dalam zona abu-abu untuk waktu yang cukup lama dan tanpa menyadarinya sampai akhirnya merasa jenuh sendiri dengan hubungan yang dibina bersama pasangannya.

I’m not an expert enough about love & relationships thingy. But for sure in this case of ‘GREY AREA’ lots of my friends has been through in this matters, including me. Sebenarnya apa sih indikasi dari hubungan yang sedang anda jalani sedang berada di ‘GREY AREA’?

Well, from my point of view biasanya karena hubungan yang dijalani sudah begitu MEMBOSANKAN. Ketika usia hubungan sudah memasuki setahun biasanya salah satu pihak sudah ada yang merasa jenuh. Hubungan yang adem ayem dan jarang mengalami konflik belum tentu aman dari ‘GREY AREA’, justru menurut saya hubungan seperti itu sangat rawan terjerumus ke dalam zona abu-abu tersebut.

Seseorang bisa langsung masuk ke ‘GREY AREA’ ketika dia menyadari bahwa ternyata selama ini dia tidak punya real feelings terhadap pasangan. In this case I found it in almost people I’ve met (read: friends). Tidak sedikit pasangan yang mengawali hubungan mereka dengan niat coba-coba. Ketika salah satu pihak menyatakan cinta, pihak satunya lagi yang awalnya biasa saja seringkali berpikir, “Ah yaudah deh gapapa, jalani saja. Toh dia orangnya baik”. Sifat baik memang menjadi dambaan setiap orang dalam mencari pasangan, tapi bukankah baik saja tidak cukup?

Sebuah hubungan tidak hanya dibangun atas dasar kebaikan. Masih banyak hal-hal lain yang dibutuhkan dalam membangun dan membentuk hubungan yang solid. Biasanya setelah beberapa lama seringkali salah satu dari mereka baru merasa hambar dalam menjalani hubungan. Dan inilah yang menjadi cikal bakal dari zona abu-abu. Jika sudah begini tentunya susah untuk memutuskan hubungan, karena rasa kasihan yang sudah terbangun sejak awal hubungan dimana rasa hambar dimulai.

Ketika sedang berada dalam ‘GREY AREA’ biasanya akan timbul pertanyaan dari diri sendiri, “Do I really want to be part of this relationship?”, “Do I really want this?”. Rasa hambar yang menghampiri akan menambah kebingungan yang sudah ada, “Sebenarnya masih ada rasa atau nggak sih?”, “Atau hanya kasihan ya?”. Memang cuma kita yang bisa menjawabnya.

Biasanya pihak yang berada di ‘GREY AREA’ akan merespon dengan berkata, “Ya udahlah, jalanin aja dulu, toh nggak tahu juga ujungnya akan kemana”. Menurut saya ini tidak fair bagi pihak yang satunya, karena sebenarnya ia berhak tahu apa yang ada di dalam hati & pikiran pasangannya.

Kejelasan sikap dan pendirian tentunya akan menolong kita untuk keluar dari zona abu-abu. Dan sebaiknya berpikirlah yang matang sebelum mengambil keputusan. Menentukan sikap adalah hal yang penting. “Do I want this relationship or not?”, “Stay or Go?”. Dan jika sudah mencapai keputusan yang bulat just do it! Do not hesitate because hesitation kills.

Just like I said in the beginning, ‘GREY AREA’ is the most dangerous zone that you can ever imagine. Jangan sia-siakan waktu dan hidup anda dengan berlama-lama berada di zona tersebut, karena hal ini cuma akan menyengsarakan anda saja. A wise man said, life is too good to be wasted!

BOYS DON’T CRY ?


Apakah tangisan memiliki arti negatif bagi pria? It’s a true story. Seorang pria pernah menangis di depan saya, menyatakan penyesalannya karena tidak berani mengejar wanita yang disukainya sejak dua tahun lalu. “Seharusnya saya tahu kalau waktu tidak akan menunggu saya. I’m pathetic in love,” kisahnya sambil menangis tesedu.

Spontan saya langsung bereaksi. “So what’s the point of crying? Kamu ngga malu menangis di depan umum, tepatnya di depan saya yang seorang perempuan? Apa ngga takut dibilang cengeng?”

Si pria berhenti menangis, malah balik bertanya, “Apa cowo menangis harus malu sama dirinya sendiri? Apa ada hukum yang menyebutkan kalau cowo gak boleh nangis, meski di saat terberat sekalipun?

Saya terdiam, jujur saya tidak punya jawaban. Kalau mau berempati teman saya ini memang layak dikasihani. Kehidupan percintaannya selalu dibayangi trauma besar. Ceritanya teman saya ini sudah pacaran sekitar lima tahun, tetapi ketika mendekati persiapan pernikahan (tepatnya seminggu sebelumnya) hubungan mereka berakhir karena perbedaan pendapat antara kedua keluarga. Lebih parahnya lagi ternyata si pasangan yang dicintainya ini ketahuan berselingkuh. Sejak itu teman saya ini tidak pernah mendekati wanita lagi karena trauma pernah dikecewakan. Dua tahun kemudian ia bertemu dengan perempuan yang berhasil membuatnya merasakan cinta lagi, tapi karena malu (dan tentunya trauma), ia pun ragu untuk mendekati. Alhasil, si wanita impian keburu naik pelaminan dengan pria lain.

Saya menganggap opini yang menyatakan pria itu harus tangguh itu benar. Apalagi pria cukup beruntung karena tidak memiliki siklus PMS yang menyertainya setiap bulan. Emosi dan moodnya seharusnya bisa terkontrol dengan baik. Tapi lepas dari opini pribadi, saya mencoba bersikap adil, pria dan wanita adalah manusia biasa. Sebagai individu yang punya hati dan perasaan, menangis adalah suatu hal yang wajar karena merupakan refleksi dari sisi emosional kita. Seketika itu saya mengerti. Pria menangis karena menonton peristiwa menyedihkan atau drama yang mengharu biru that’s okay. Atau pria yang menangis karena menyesal telat menyampaikan perasaan pada wanita yang dicintainya sejak lama, that’s really okay. Saya menyebut pria-pria ini memiliki hati.

Lalu seperti apakah pria cengeng? Saya punya pendapat sendiri. Pria cengeng bukan pria yang setiap saat terus menangis, tetapi lebih tepatnya pria yang selalu mengeluh setiap saat. Kejadian X membuatnya bersungut-sungut, kejadian Y membuatnya berteriak marah. Sering ngambek, selalu menanamkan rasa iri dalam hatinya terhadap kesuksesan orang lain, suka berdecak (taanda kesal) atau menghela nafas (tanda ketidakpuasan). Pria yang selalu melihat ke belakang dan tidak pernah bersyukur atas apa yang dimilikinya. Mungkin pria seperti inilah yang saya kasih label ‘pria cengeng’ karena tidak pernah berani menghadapi kenyataan di hidupnya, dan selalu berlindung dibalik ketidakpuasannya.

Untuk menyampaikan perasaan bersalah pada teman pria yang menangis di depan saya tadi, saya mengirimkan pesan singkat: “Setelah berpikir berulang kali, saya punya jawabannya: tangisan tidak berarti cengeng. You can stop for a while to cry it loud, but then forget it. Life is bigger than you think.”

A Human Race: Part II


Sometimes when we slows down just enough...
For all the pieces to fall into place.
Fate works it's magic. And you're connected.

Every once in a while, among all the randomness...
Something unexpected happens and it pushes us all forward. And the truth is,
What I'm starting to think, what I'm starting to feel...
Is that maybe the human race isn't a race at all.

A Human Race



Look at us, running around, always rushed, always late.
I guess that's what they called it a human race.
What we crave most in this world is connection.
For some people it happens at first sight.
That's when you know, you know.
It's fate working it's magic.
And that's great for them.
They get to live in a pop song.
Ride the express train.
But that's not the way it really works.
For a less of us it's a bit less romantic.
It's complicated and it's messy.
It's about horrible timing and fumbled opportunities.
And not being able to say what you need to say.
When you need to say it.
At least that's the way it was for me..

The Day I Get So Blue

It's not the end.

It's only the beginning.

You're already packing for a place that none of us has seen.

Now get your head up high.

Don't be such a pansy and cry.

If our glass heart should crack.

Don't bother it. Stay strong.

Go catch your dreams.

Go get your freedom.

Walk on dear friends.

Let's face the reality and the new phase of life.

Missed you both already...


For my two buddies Tyo & Amel

Cheers, i already weep, xoxo


will always love this moment

When You Love Someone



I love you but it’s not so easy to make you here with me,

I wanna touch and hold you forever,

But you’re still in my dreams,

I can’t stand to wait till’ night is comin’ to my life,

If I still have a time to break the silence…

When you love someone just be brave to say, that you want him to be with you,

When you hold your love, don’t ever let it go,

Or you will loose your tends to make your dreams come true..

I used to hide and watch you from a distance,

And I knew you realize,

I was looking for a time to get closer at least to say hello..

I can’t stand to wait your love’s coming to my life,

I never thought I was so strong, stuck on you and wait so long..

Love will find a way..

Heartbreak Warfare


Lightning strikes

Inside, my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

If you want more love,
why don't you say so?
If you want more love,
why don't you say so?

Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain

God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me
but I can't break free at all.

It's a heartbreak...

I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight
Let's just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God we're gonna get it right...

What’s your passion?


Your strength is not what your good at! It’s what you enjoy the most!

It happen to be the tagline from the book which I finished to read about two days ago. The book it selves really changed my perspective about career. And the different thing between ‘JOB’ and ‘CAREER’. It teach me something about things that I’ve been missed out. Well I’m not going to review the book here in my blog, but I feel like I’m going to share a bit of my perspective about it.

When I was a kid I always enjoy writing about everything on my diary, I had a dozens of that till my mom bought me a laptop. I always find it interesting to write something. Something about daily activity or poetry is always make my day, not to mentioned when I fallin’ for a boy when I’m still in elementary, good things, sad things, all of ‘em.. I write in the diary. And I’m still doing that thing till’ now, and put it in my journal, either notes or blog.

For me writing something is always a relieve. Indeed. No matter how it’s just a status I put it on facebook, or twitter or blog. It’s always a relieve to write something.

I love reading Hemingway or Austen or Dee, they write something and get paid for it, can you imagine how lucky they are? They such a ‘Rockstars’ for me. Of course they do it with passion, I mean Dee is not a bachelor in literarture, for cry sake she’s got a bachelor in International Relation and it’s more likely close to politics thingy right? But she made it, as a writer she made it perfectly.

Same situation with me, I don’t even take a literature as my major even I really love it, I decided to take advertising major in college and got a bachelor degree for that, but still.. I’m doing my passion in writing, even I’m not paid for it LOL, but I’m happy for it, I’m happy because I can write something.

Maybe it’s a passion, maybe because I’m doing it with all of my heart.

I think it’s everybody’s dream to work following their passion. It would feels like doing things we like and don’t feel any pressure at all. Based on the books that I read, passion is things that you really really love doing. The passion is your strength. And your strength is NOT about what your good at. It is about what you enjoy the most. It tells me that passion is within you. It is you uniqueness.

But the question is.. “DO YOU WANT TO FOLLOW YOUR PASSION?”. Cause sometimes we don’t always get what we want. Is it we have to get out from our routines and chasing our dreams or following what we liked most? It’s not really simple at all right? It takes a courage, It takes guts.

Well, for me it’s really a dream come true if we get paid for something that we liked to doing it. And we should have more courageous, and believe in ourselves. And i wish i can make it come true. Amiiin..

When Words Meet Heartbeats


As I sat in a crowded room full of strange faces.
Soberly observing.
Imagining the mysteries behind each set of unrecognizable eyes.
I turned to see this smile.
A sparkle in his eyes.
In an instant our bodies were contiguous where.
Even over the thump.
Thump of the deafening beat.
Our hearts rang strong against one another.
Tangled together.
Strangers' stories lay neglected and forgotten.
A heap of mystery in a cold dark corner.
For this is the only story that matters.
It is kept safe and warm between our beating hearts.
Eyes locked.
We could not help but smile.
This is Love.
Might be.

if there is something i believe in

Do you believe in what people call ‘soulmates’? I, for one, do not.
I’ve been told my way of looking at love is cynical but I don’t think so.
I believe that a person call fall in love with anyone, given the timing is right.
People fall in and out of your life, I don’t believe in destiny, things happen for no reason

and you are left to try to control it - although you know you can’t.
I only try to convince myself
things are meant to be when something negative happens.
But in the end, I don’t think it works like that.
My friends are not my friends because they are better than other people -
I’ve learned to love them by being around them and getting to know them. If I spent time with most people, granted they weren’t extremely rude
and had no interest in me,
I could probably love them just as much as I love my friends now.
But somethings I find harder to explain, like the way you can meet people who
just feel right for you.
But then again, this might also be coincidence - and timing. But it is all so very shallow.
I wish I could look at people and oversee their physical appearance. But of course that’s not possible.
But if it was, I really wonder what I’d see. But do not mistake me, if there is something I believe in it is love.
