The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore dan Pulang

Old draft: 24 Feb 2017

On my way home on Transjakarta. Today's special includes jobfair with Bay, fun chatting Tiwul, Cakra and Nola, 2nd phase of job interview, and Ovaltine Macchiato from KOI cafe alongside Pho Tai from Pho 24. I don't know why I feel so tired right now. I was happy in the morning and afternoon, and although the job interview drained me out, usually my mood get backs up after I pampered myself with nice food and drink. And I did (pampered) myself well today. But the day stay gloomy and I'm really tired right now. Listening to the random playlist in my phone, and those 2 songs catch my eye with their heartfelt lyrics. Their lyrics remind me of my loss, my loneliness, and the emptiness I felt right now, on my way home.

I've been twisting and turning in a space that's too small
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall
You've been closing me in , closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart

Oh, don't misunderstand how I feel
Cause I've tried, yes I've tried
Still I don't know why
No I don't know why

Well I can't explain why it's not enough
Cause I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do
It's time to surrender
It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying
When the pieces don't fit anymore

Bad dream?

Minggu lalu:

Waking up tired after having a dream where I got chased endlessly and almost killed. I even remember the chaser taxi license plate number.

B 1527 ...

My family dismissed my situation, my friends are nowhere to be found, the only shelter who comforts me and protects me was my boyfriend. My non existent handsome boyfriend whose face is blurry...


Artinya apa??

Cinta ini harus diapain

"Tapi ya susahnya.. ketika rasa sayang dan cinta dari orang diukur secara objektif, nggak ada standar pastinya, setiap orang beda2... jadi punya kecenderungan untuk tidak puas dan tidak sadar kalau diri dicintai banyak orang. Membandingkan bentuk tangible cinta yang diterima dan bingung akan nilainya, apakah cukup, baik atau apa. Merasa kalau diri belum disayang karena tidak begini dan begitu. Padahal mungkin tidak begitu. Jadi tidak bersyukur juga, jadi suka iri, jadi racun buat diri sendiri. Jatuhnya memikirkan apa kesalahan diri ini jadi tidak mendapatkan cinta dari orang sekitar. Jatuhnya jadi tidak cinta sama diri sendiri."

Yang kuketik ke seorang teman di tengah sedikit kegundahan ku malam ini. Aku bingung melihat pasangan-pasangan yang dimabuk cinta di sekitarku akhir-akhir ini. Tuhan bisa saja ya memasang-masangkan orang. Aku bingung juga, aku dibilang baik sama banyak orang, dan disayang sama banyak orang dua hari ini. Caranya berbeda dengan yang dilakukan orang lain. Akupun berbeda dengan orang lain. Diriku kaku, tidak asyik, dan ya biasa saja. Bingung aku mendapatkan buku yang literally penuh cinta untukku ini.

Tambahan beberapan minggu setelahnya:

Waktu itu rasanya seperti tidak ada yang cinta aku. Entahlah sekarang gimana, bersyukur dulu aja lah ya.

2016 and Graduation Thank You Note

Thank you, sorry, and I love you.

I thank God for giving me amazing friends. Yes, I got no peer groups, but as Ryani told me, I should not care too much about it, and as Dara told me, an ESTJ often didn't realize how much people love and care for them. I should be grateful for the love that was already given to me, and cherish it wholly. the following thank you notes are in no particular order, I just love all the people whose name mentioned down below so much. Thank you for coming to my life!

When you get through your worst day to date, in the future you will look how you can get past though that and gain strength to go to another harder challenges. I've experienced my worst day to date last year, but then I got through it with the help of all the lovely people above. 2016 teaches me that if another worst day were to happen, there will be someone who are there supporting me. Even though I am alone, I will be able to get through it since I was able to go this far for now. There's no other word that can represent 2016 better than Thank you. Thank you for the lessons. I'm not sure if I deserve this much love. Thank you, 2016.

Failure

I feel like a failure tonight. No matter how much I've tried to be and feel accepted by a certain group, I feel like they just won't accept me. This sounds very ungrateful, especially after gaining lots of friend outside that groups that love me for who I am. I don't know why I want to be accepted that much by this certain group, to be a social butterfly who are accepted by everyone. This obsession makes me feel insecure, and obviously has created a rift between me and those who accepted me for who I am. I ended up having no clear identity about myself, whenever I remember how this certain group looks so fun and popular and I should fit myself into them.

And then my thoughts drift to how I couldn't make it to the final of the last competition I participated in college. How I did not really master a specific skill, and how I did not know where I am heading next. How I might not have a friend to travel together before going to the workplace. How I might never have someone loving me first. How I might not find the one. How I might not be able to succeed because of my mediocre skills of everything. How I didn't have a good network, and didn't have a chance to create one. How my boring and serious personality might tire everyone eventually. How I never improve and be good enough no matter how much I've tried. How in the end I might be a lonely loser who didn't have anyone and couldn't be at the top.

New temporary crush

Hey.

I have to admit that you are cute. You are tall, smart, funny, and kinda wise. I admire how you mingle with others. I admire all your talents. I admire your down-to-earth attitude. Though we have same backgrounds, the way we do things are so different. I know that you can't offer me what I need, such as assurance abt my future, career and serious moral supports, and other stuffs that I have to deal since I'm about to graduate. I can be wrong though, since we are not that close (yet?). You may not find my boring personality, monochrome mind and life interesting. You may also find that my looks are mediocre. I may not be your type, and you may be not the right person for me.


However, these days, I find myself looking for you and wanting to meet you. I find myself showing my best side to you. I find myself happy talking to you or talking about you. There's this affection that was reflected in the way I talk abt a few people I fond of, and I guess it's reflected when I talk about you. I am attracted to you.

For now, I think there's no way that we are compatible with each other. You are not the type that can be approached first by a girl. I'm not sure too, that this relationship might work if I put some efforts. I'm about to graduate and leave this place too. Maybe this is just me feeling lonely. Ifyou happen to read this, I just want you to know how attractive you are to me. I am writing this because it's 2am and I need a place to release this thought that has bothered me for the past few weeks.
