Things That Got Me Run Away

There are three things that always make me want to run away when I faced them. They are always get me on nerves whenever I have to face one of them. The first one is entering new environment and facing new people. Second, injection and medicine, and the last one, being proposed.

Entering new environment is really exciting yet worrying me at the same time. There will be many questions come to my head, 'will I survive'? 'will the people like me?' 'will I feel suitable with them?' But the most important question is, will the people accept and respect me? myself? my presence? my weakness? Being acceptable is always be my number one problem when facing new people. That's why when I already feel comfort with my surrounding, I will always want to be with them forever, I don't want to change my circumstances. Unluckily, the world is not always work as you wish. Your surrounding will not last forever. The changes of circumstances is an inevitability that you have to accept, otherwise you will be left out.

Surprisingly, all this time, for this kind of thing, I have passed it successfully without any significant difficulty. New environment is like a new thing to be explored and new people are like new friends to be get along with. I'm trying to build my confidence and positivity. I still feel worry, but I never tried to avoid it anymore.

Injection and medicine also make me want to run away. I remember when I was in elementary school and junior high school, I would cried every time the nurses came to my school to give a vaccine for the students. The teacher would calm me down and tried to persuade me by told me the lies that it was just like an ant bites. When I was in high school, in biology class, the teacher asked us to check our own blood type. I still remember the feeling I felt that time. My knees was freezing, and my hand was totally cold like an ice. I couldn't feel my foot touching the ground. So, my teacher allowed me to not do the task and gave me another one.

In my freshman year in university, for the very first time I got a needle embedded on my skin to infuse me some nutrition for my body. I was hospitalized that time and I have to face a nightmare everyday when a nurse came to take my blood with an ugly needle. But it was a condition between death and life. Face the fear or suffer the worse illness. I have to pass through that situation in order to recover my body.

I already passed many injections. The latest one was in my neck. I'm still afraid to it but so far I passed it very well. No more cry like when I was in elementary school, just a bit sweat in my hand and foot, and a bit cold hand. Also, the heart that beats a bit faster. I think I'm getting better at dealing with this thing now.

There is one more thing that always makes me worry. Being proposed. Yes, it's laughable, isn't it? But this is what I truly feel. I cannot explain it more because I don't know the reason either. I always tell my friends about my wish to get married at a young age. I am not lying about that. But when it comes to reality, somehow I will feel worry and afraid and I want to run away. So, future husband, you are the luckiest man out there because I don't accept man's heart easily. And you are the greatest man (after my dad of course) because you can erase my fear and my doubt.

I already passed the worst level of these three things above. I think I can do it better now. I always think that I cannot make it, but turns out, I can.

Now, I'd rather to enjoy these three things instead of be worry or even run away from it. Entering a new environment? I have many new things to be find out and be explored. Hypodermic needle? It's just a feel like an ant's bites, and it only takes less than 10 seconds. Being proposed? Thank God, it means that I am noticeable. Hehe.

By the way, I will go to the hospital in one or two weeks ahead. I have to deal with the hypodermic needle again. Let's see what will happen next!

Glimpse of Memorable Memories

I am writing this with Kiss the Rain and Stay in Memory by Yiruma playing in Youtube. It seriously making me baper . I am trying to remember every single thing we've been through together in the past 3 months. But this is not gonna be a long post that show every details. It's just the voice of  my heart (I don't know how to say curahan hati in English). Sorry if there are some things missed. Our story started at 29th of November 2015. In the day before the opening of our course program, we decided to meet in the gate of ITB for looking for a language center building. There were only 8 of us. Some of us maybe already knew each other because we came from the same region. But mostly, that was our first meet. Oh yes, I already met Cintya the beautiful moon accidentally in Juanda airport before. The next day, we finally met each other. All of us. I remember we sat in the front, introduced our name and the place where we came from. I also remember the Jembernese came togethe...

Perempuan, jodoh dan S2.

Kemarin saya dan Mama saya ngobrol santai di meja makan. Tiba-tiba bahasannya menyerempet ke arah jodoh. Sebenarnya saya selalu menghindari topik macam begini dengan keluarga saya. " Kamu kalau udah umur 25 belum nikah, udah susah cari jodoh nanti. S2 lagi" Tante saya juga pernah bilang : "Kamu nggak mau sama si X? Dia S2 juga loh" Wkwk xD Ada yang perlu saya luruskan disini: Saya tidak pernah menganggap kuliah sebagai sarana mencari ijazah lalu pamer gelar dan lantas pilih-pilih teman apalagi jodoh. Allah tidak menilai orang dari ijazah, lantas saya siapa mau pilih suami dari strata pendidikan? Wkwk. Alasan saya melanjutkan studi S2 bukan biar uang panai jadi tinggi macam yang di meme itu xD. Bahkan kalau misalnya saya juga menganggap diri saya sebuah barang yang bisa dilabeli dengan harga, saya juga tidak akan melabeli diri saya dengan harga tinggi. Kenapa? Saya yang tau  diri saya dengan semua kekurangannya. Dari segi akademik saya bukan mahasiswa yan...

Pada Deretan Huruf

Pada deretan huruf, aku tuliskan cerita. Tentang kita yang menyapa pagi, meramu siang, dan menghimpun malam. Kita yang sebelumnya tak saling kenal, dunia kita tak bersentuhan, lingkaran kita tak beririsan, lantas dipertemukan dalam suatu epidode yang mengakrabkan kita dengan cara istimewa. Pada deretan huruf, aku abadikan kisah. Tentang kau dan aku yang beda, yang tak serupa, tapi berjalan beriringan. Setiap kata merapalkan kejujuran, bahwa setiap beda tak mesti bertentang. Hal yang kadang membuat kita berdebat, nyatanya tetap bisa membuat kita tertawa bersama. Pada deretan huruf, aku rekam setiap momen. Tentang kau yang memahamkanku bahwa dunia bukanlah ruang sempit. Ia tak melulu tentang barat dan timur, atau utara dan selatan. Kau pula yang memahamkanku bahwa kita adalah bagian dari milyaran manusia, yang tertakdir bertemu disini. Pada deretan huruf, aku bekukan kenangan. Tentang kita yang selalu berceloteh bahwa hari seperti dilipat, dan harapan agar ia bisa sedikit melambat....
