People Change

I've went through maybe 6-8 blogs through out the course of my life. This by far is my most written, and longest blog i've kept. God knows all the things I've put in here. It's kinda the place where you can read through my though process, take a glimpse of what has caught my interests lately. All in all, this is a good zone. A great joe zone.

I can't tell you what's going to happen in the next 30 days. I know where I'll be, but I won't know what I will be feeling and what I will care or not care about. But today, I cared about watching Breaking Bad. I am stressed out on closing my projects (a couple video projects, an app design project, a church ministry thing), I'm at loss with my packing for Indo (haven't even started), love life is a big zero (let's just put it out there), I have got no clue on career or anything like that.

Imagine looking back to my life later on 10 years from now- what would I say? I imagine saying, "that was the most confusing time of my life." Laughed it off with old friends. But honestly, nothing really exciting has happened. No big adventures, no YOLO moments. Everybody knows I'm no daredevil, or a mischievous prankster... (by the way, while I was writing mischievous, I had realized that I've been spelling and pronouncing the word wrongly all my life! I've been saying Mischivious - rather than mischievous. shit. whoa.) ... I'm a plain cup of joe. Yes sugar, yes half-and-half, but no nutmeg! I'm a perfectly good cup of coffee with no nutmeg. I'm as spice-less as crap. Maybe a better metaphor is I''m a chai latte, with no ginger. Ginger's the kick in a great chai latte. And I don't have that.

So, what's my nutmeg? What's my ginger? I gotta find it. Man..

The last time I was fearless, and adventurous was probably.. definitely Elementary school. Back then I had balls - not referring that I had undergo a sex-change, but you know what I mean. Nothing could stop me from climbing a wall, or walking on a tight rope from tree to tree. Heck, if someone asks me to go bungee jumping I'd probably do it - unlike today. So what happened? What changed me?

I'm done being high and dry

Awal tahun kemarin aku jatuh hati dengan seseorang dan hari ini aku mempertanyakan apakah lebih baik berteman aja dengan pria ini. Lucu ya, betapa cepatnya hati ini bisa berubah. Di satu sisi aku lega logika ku sudah kembali mencuat, naik ke permukaan laut endorfin yang perlahan surut. Realitasnya, pasang yang surut menunjukkan kotornya pantai hatiku. Banyak sisa-sisa sampah dari masa lalu; ngerasa nggak layak dapet perhatian, takut ditinggal, takut ditolak, takut disakiti. Hal-hal yang ku kira sudah ku buang jauh-jauh. Ternyata membuang ide dari pikiran dengan menghancurkan ide itu berbeda. Selama 2 minggu aku bersihin sampah-sampah ini. Aku ganti ketakutan ku dengan kata-kata Tuhan yang menyatakan aku berharga di matanya, mulia bahkan (yesaya 43:4). Aku terima kata-kataNya yang bilang "Aku mengasihi engkau dengan kasih yang kekal" kalau di bahasa inggrisnya "I have loved you with an everlasting love". Sudah terjadi, sudah ku alami, dan akan selalu Ia tunjukkan pad...
