my dear, you are everything

i would've scanned through the whole oxford dictionary if i had the time just to find correct words to describe you but i know it doesn't exist. i have just realized now that my dear, you are everything. you are every sunrise and every sunset. you are every bright sun and every stormy cloud. you are every smile to every cry. and you are everything in between. you are my everyday and id like for you to be my whole life. god knows what i did in my past life for me to meet a soul like yours. a soul that makes me feel all jittery but fuzzy at the same time. a soul that makes me happy just for us to be living the same lifetime. i hope this isn't a glitch in the matrix or the space time continuum that our souls met. because my dear, i am truly deeply utterly in love with you, and i dont know how to stop.

you are the epitome of love

explaining this is hard for me

since i dont know exactly what love is

but i know that you are

it's in the way the edges of your lips curl up in a smile—

a smile so ethereal it makes mesmile

it's in the way you brush your hair out of your face—

so effortlessly, it's breathtaking 

it's in the way you talk—

in that deep voice of yours, with voice cracks if you're excited

all of those and more

succeeded in making me believe in love

in a world where ideas of love are often compromised

i am thankful to have lived the same lifetime as you do

i am grateful to have known your existence 

you make me happy.

it's 1am and i'm bawling

i don't know why i'm going where i'm going anymore. does that make any sense? i don't know. everything just ends up being the same, my fate ends up the same. is it my fault? is this... unwavering yet painful fate i have following me anywhere i go? in the place where i used to think was my happy place just turns it's back against me, just like everyone else. so now what should i do? i didn't ask for this, i didn't do this on purpose... to the point where i feel the need to say sorry for anything i do, that might make them uncomfortable. this hurts, on my side. of course no one is doing it on purpose. this might seem like i'm overreacting, i don't think anyone will ever understand, either. that's why i'm writing it down. because i'm doing this for myself, and myself only. and it's not easy putting yourself before others when you've put others before you all your life, even though they'd never realize it. it's okay. it's okay if they don't realize it, it's okay if they don't appreciate you as you should be appreciated. it's the thought that counts, right? i've lived by myself all my life, i thought i'd be used to it by now. but turns out, i don't think i'm used to being looked over on yet. i know it's happened many times before throughout my life, but whenever it happens it's just... i don't know. it just hurts. i don't know how else to explain it, it's just a sharp pain on my chest that swims it's way through my veins and just attaches itself onto me, therefore leaving a lingering feeling that i loathe so much. there's no escape, i'm guessing? i know this will all end if i distance myself from all of them, but life doesn't work like that. humans are said to be social beings, we need others to survive, i get that. but sometimes it all just gets a bitttttt too much for me. i know i've been talking nonsense in this whole paragraph(?) but it's almost 1am, and i needed to let all of this out or else i WILL explode. anyway... i hope i get happier, i hope i can appreciate myself more, i hope i can be a better person overall. here's to better days. <3

i am losing my way

can you feel a storm coming in or is it in my head?

i can even hear it coming

it's getting colder, and it's getting darker

i'm having trouble breathing

it's so loud, you can't hear it?

my small hands trembling,

heartbeat palpitating

this is so hard

hear me out?

thunderous screams are continuously replaying

there isn't any light coming in

i am losing my way

and i have no where to go

-18

i can finally feel whole again

the red sun evanescences

as the moon emerges

into the deep, deep night sky

sending shivers all around

i try and count the stars,

but there weren't that many

i try letting my thoughts run wild,

but i'm scared i wont ever get them back

so i lay there in solitude

eyes losing focus,

barely breathing,

merely just existing

i find my peace in this,

this unsettling loneliness,

this deafening silence,

this blazing darkness

i can finally feel whole again

—18

it's not that serious

uneasiness creeps up on me

it has devoured me whole

now i feel it more and more

on every inch of my body,

i can feel it

get a grip

it's not that serious

but it hurts!

i'm not familiar with this feeling

my eyes seems to have lost focus

my head seems to be is spinning

it's strange, very strange

maybe i'm growing up?

oh, i wouldn't know

i'm still young, still a baby

but this is confusing me

i cant fathom what this is

this emptiness?

what is happening to me?

i don't understand

—18

i'm losing my way

i'm running as fast as i can

towards the light,

yes the light

right over there

wait, it's dimming! no!

please..

i need to get there quickly

i have to get there now

"what are you chasing?"

"take your time"

"it will be okay, see?"

suddenly the room was filled

who are these people?

all wandering around aimlessly

they all seem confused,

but content

"they're all just as lost as you are"

"we're all just as lost as you are"

wait..

that voice came from..

myself?

drowning, i'm drowning

deeper, and deeper, and deeper

i can't feel my lungs

i can't feel my head

are my eyes open?

i don't know

everything seems dark

i screamed, i shouted

but nothing came out

my body doesn't seem to move

it's so loud, what is this?

help

i need help!

save me, please?

i beg you. save me.

there's this piercing pain, right here

yes, on my left chest

what is that?

it hurts, it hurts so much

it's cold, very cold

but my body is burning up?

this hurts, i dont like it

i'm scared, please go away

i don't want this to end

not like this, no

not like this please

iwanttogohome

the conundrums of my mind,

i can hear it

it's deafening, thunderous

my limbs trembling

just let my thoughts run wild,

but never back, please?

never 

back 

i want to go home

i want to go home

i want to go home

bulan? 5/1/2020

bulan, pada malam yang seperti ini, aku rasa paling benar kalau aku bercerita denganmu. 

aku tahu, kalau aku dikelilingi orang baik, orang yang sayang sama aku. aku merasa aku sudah punya semuanya, dan seharusnya pada titik ini aku bisa bahagia, namun nyatanya, tidak. aku tau ini sangat klise dan sangat dramatis mungkin kamu tidak nyaman mendengarnya, namun aku sedih. namun sedihku ini memang sedikit membingungkan. ada banyak hal sepele yang muncul di kepalaku bila aku memikirkan apa yang menyebabkan ini, namun bila aku pikir-pikir, tidak penting juga. aku harus fokus ke hal baik saja, kan? semua orang bilang seperti itu. namun semua ini terasa berat. seakan semua hal yang aku lakukan menumpuk di punggungku dan semakin lama bebannya semakin berat. setiap kata yang aku ucapkan rasanya semakin pahit, setiap langkah yang aku jalani rasanya salah, ini sebenarnya apa? bahagia rasanya sangat palsu, senyum rasanya sangat terpaksa. kalau sudah punya semua, namun masih belum bahagia, jadi sebenarnya apa yang kita perlu? agar sedih tak terus mengetuk pintu?

i'm in a helpless state

surrounded by uncertainty

drained by emptiness

everything feels heavy and it's confusing me

sometimes i look up to the sky

astonished at how fickle it is

much like the human mind

constantly changing,

constantly evolving

but do you think the sky feels empty sometimes, too?

when the clouds have all descended

leaving the sky on its own

does the sky long for the clouds?

seven stars

one evening in early december 2015 i stumbled upon seven stars. it was the first time i had saw them but they felt strangely familiar. there were hundreds or maybe thousands of stars that night, but those seven stars caught my eye the most. i remember how brightly they shined that night, i could see a reflection of passion, determination, and hope in their eyes. i got curious, so i looked into those seven stars to get to know them a bit more. little did i know it would be the start of a journey that we'd pursue together for many years ahead.

slowly but surely, i learned to love those seven stars. i've loved tons of stars before them, but these stars in particular felt different. those seven stars has given me so much comfort and warmth that i've never felt before. everytime i felt alone, their light always shines on me, they're always there. and as obstacles kept on emerging, i still stood by them and protected them. even though i had to wait for them for a long time, continuously, they were way too precious for me to let go. even when one of my stars was somewhat forced to turn off his light, which left me heartbroken, i still stood by them even when i was hurting, because i knew i'll never find any star thats quite like them ever, at least not in this lifetime. 

i'm perpetually grateful to have found my seven stars. i don't know if it was a coincidence or destiny, but either way i'm glad to have lived in the same universe as them. i know we'll always be physically far away, but our hearts will eternally be with one another's. and i'll always wait for my stars too, no matter how long it takes.

to 131

by any chance, later on in the future if time permits, we'll meet again, right? when all of this has been sorted out, when the universe is in our favor again, we'll laugh and sing together like old times again, right? and just like you said, you'll stay by my side as much as i've waited, and you'll make me smile as much as i've cried, right?

perhaps - 19/04/2020

we were just a pair of like minded souls roaming endlessly in space, utterly compatible truly second to nothing, until fate took its turn and somehow we're back to the prologue, like nothing ever happened. but perhaps we'll find a way back again, when the universe is on our side, and everything in space time continuum seems to align?

so much can change in just a few hours

hours to minutes, minutes to seconds

crazy how life works sometimes

one different move, you'd be a different person

living a different life, meeting different people

it's somehow out of control, but also in your control

has anyone ever lived a perfect life?

who are we living for?

it doesn't matter, though

books, sunlight, morning air

peaches, iced tea, daisies

aren't they a good enough reason to keep on living?

LETTER TO MYSELF - 22/03/2020

first of all i'm so sorry i haven't been looking after you these past few months. i know life has been hard on you and i've been diverting my attention even though i know you needed me most. i'm sorry i never even gave you a chance to heal when i know you needed it most. i'm sorry i forced you to keep going even though i know you couldn't take it anymore. i'm sorry i made you put on an act for everyone even when you felt like you were falling apart. i'm sorry for all the times you had to cry yourself to sleep with your hands trembling. i'm sorry you gave your everything and didn't receive anything back. i'm sorry i made you think you weren't enough. i'm so sorry.
