Random Thoughts and Ramblings

I've been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to study abroad, go on exchange, and change jobs. I've met different circles of friends with opposing personalities and views in life, and obtained a series of experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. a 15-year old me wouldn't have thought that these millions of obscure yet valuable adversities and fortunes could be thrown at me.

Aku ingin menenggak habis kopinya segera Menggiring segar pada pagi kabut Kau ingin menyeruputnya pelan Menghirup satu demi satu aroma citrus, karamel dan nektar Aku takut didih air menguap jadi dingin Pahitnya kian terasa, terasa jadi hambar Kau takut panasnya hanguskan lidah Dan kita kelu tak sanggup bicara Untuk kesekian kalinya kita terbentur pada hal serupa Entah kamus hilang ke mana, kalah dan mengalah dianggap sama Lalu kita tiba di satu titik pendar yang menyentil gusar Kita sama-sama tau yang kita tak mau: kata teranulir, kita tinggal raga Mungkin tak perlu tergesa-gesa Yang dinanti akhirnya akan datang Sadarku Mungkin tak perlu menunggu Yang dinanti terkadang harus dikejar Jawabmu
