I Got Mine from Aleph, Perhaps

I must say that Aleph's biggest influence to mine is its lesson that every problem is a new encounter. I guess it applies now. Reading Marissa Mayer's story and I just got stunned, what will she do after this top of the world? Or...is it really the top?

Do we really reach our goal at a certain defined position? And will our specific end define our success? Will it even matter?

Are my sentences standing adjacent to each other?

Still

Yes, I'm looking for reasons to meet you.

Yes, I'm looking for reasons to talk to you.

Because I'm still clueless about you.

Because I'm curious about your mystery.

But remain that way. 

Because it's only imagination to play on.

Of the Day

"There's no failure greater than watching your loved ones torn apart while you can do nothing to help."

Lidah tercekat. Aku terlalu malu untuk bilang. Rindu.


Ah, hidup di sini terlalu hingar-bingar.
Hingga aku abai mendengar.
Kalau kau bicara nanar.


Tapi akan aku sampaikan salammu pada ambisi.
Biar dimakan habis tak bersisa.
Apa yang seharusnya aku nikmati.


Sudahlah. Yang penting kau tidak lupa.
Pernah berjanji tidak akan berhenti.
Mengetuk nurani.

Salam kasih dari yang terkasih.

Digitally Old

In the world where information is too easy to obtain, I should have known your siblings, parents, your high school memories, or your daily thoughts by now.

But still, I have no clue at all.

It's just like moving forward on the fast train while everybody, except you, heads toward. Not sure if it's you being ancient or it's your nature to be mysterious.



Whatever.

Be My April

It's only when you want something so badly that you can reach this kind of feeling.

An odd heartbeat that can only be detected when your attempt is either successful or even useless.

But you know that one day when the day has finally come, you'll look behind and smile...for what you've tried, for each failure, for each clarity, for everything.

...And now, let's head toward. 

Run Run Run

And this is me. Amazed to witness how fast time goes by. You know, I'm hoping I'm part of this time machine.
