A Simple Happiness

One of the best chapter in my life is my childhood. I like to remember every details of my childhood memories even though I cannot remember it clearly. Imagining the child version of myself sometimes makes me feel amazed by the fact that that little girl has the same body, heart, mind and soul as me. With the innocence, ingenuousness charming, curiosity, honesty, and any other things that you can only find in a child. That little girl was me. Who have change a lot now.
That little girl was only worry about what toys she would play tomorrow. Her fears were thunder and heavy rain. Her biggest problem was not have a barbie house. Want to make her smile? Just give her a chocolate bar. Yes, just that simple.
That little girl never felt anxious because she thought that adults can protect her. She would ask anything she want to know. She would cry anytime and anywhere she want, even in front of people. She would say what she truly feel, without worrying about what people will think about her.
But, that little girl is growing up now. She finally know that adults can be so selfish, that adults cannot solve all problems, that adults have many things to be worry about, that adults are very good in making things complicated!
That girl figure something out she never knew before. That life, for adults, is full of assumptions, judgments. worry, unfulfilled expectations, and disappointments. And it is very inflexible. And there is one thing that always make her confuse: adults define their happiness in an intricate way.
Now, that little girl, who finally realized that the world is not like what she thought it was, want to go back in time when happiness is just as simple as buying a new barbie doll.

Ramadhan

 Walaupun masih banyak sekali kekurangan, Ramadhan tahun ini ternyata merupakan salah satu Ramadhan terbaik yang bisa saya jalani. Anak yang sudah lebih besar dan mandiri, jarak tempat tinggal dan kantor yang hanya 5 langkah, dan jam kerja yang lebih fleksibel, mungkin adalah beberapa hal yang membuat Ramadhan kali ini terasa lebih khidmat. Ramadhan-ramadhan sebelumnya sebagai ibu hamil, menyusui, ibu dengan bayi menuju toddler, jam kerja yang masih padat, membuat saya kewalahan dalam mengatur ibadah. Puasa jelas banyak yang ketinggalan. Sholat sunnah sebisanya saja, yang penting sholat wajib tidak ketinggalan. Sholat tarawih dan Qur'an? Selalu diusahakan sebisanya. Duo ibadah primadona di bulan Ramadhan ini harus diikhlaskan karena masih sering ketempelan bocil. Meskipun kadang merasa sedih karena Ramadhan selalu menjadi waktu istimewa untuk umat Muslim, nyatanya saya hanya bisa melaluinya dengan ibadah 'alakadarnya'. Lalu saya bertemu dengan sebuah nasihat dari ukhti fill...

31

 Kebetulan kemarin baru ulang tahun yang ke 31 bareng suami, dan kami merayakannya di UGD Rumah Sakit :))) Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal Dalam sebulan belakangan ada cukup banyak pemicu stress yang bikin saya cukup kewalahan. Tapi selama saya bisa punya waktu tidur malam yang cukup, maka saya baik-baik saja. 2 diantara stressor tersebut adalah berita duka yang begitu mendadak. Sebagai sesorang yang takut kehilangan, dada saya sesak setiap kali mengingat kejadiannya. Salah satu keluarga yang kami sayangi berpulang, begitu cepat. Semakin memahamkan saya bahwa kematian itu begitu dekat. Bahwa hidup kita cuma sebentar saja di dunia. Setiap kali ada berita duka, selain mendoakan almarhum, saya juga berdoa semoga Allah memberi kelapangan untuk keluarga yang ditinggalkan, karena memang sesakit itu merasakan perubahan yang mendadak, butuh waktu cukup lama untuk membiasakan diri dengan ketiadaan seseorang. Saya pun berdoa jika kelak orang tua saya yang dipanggil duluan, hati saya diberi kela...

After They Left

I used to like to be alone. I can do anything I want without worrying about others. I always enjoy my me-time. I like to go to anywhere with myself because going with others will make me be depending on them. I liked to explore new places with myself. Yes, my self is enough for my company. I enjoyed being with my own. I liked to stay at my room for hours (with bunch of snacks, good movies, good dramas, good books). I didn't need any internet connection, I never touched my phone, and the door and window were always closed. Yes, I really enjoyed that. Sometimes, I went to the public space just with my own. Looking at the people, taking picture, doing silly things, alone. Sometimes I just went around the city by motorcycle with no direction. Alone. Sometimes I spent hours in bookstore (Being surrounded by books is my mood booster). Alone. No, I'm not an introvert. Ask my close friends or family, they know me really well. I just feel comfortable with my own company. I have m...
