Too many things happened since 2020. Pandemic, covid-19 is such a disaster now.

Entahlah, aku pun tak tahu nak cakap macam mana dengan keadaan sekarang. Terlalu banyak benda jadi sepanjang tempoh tu. Aku pun dah banyak berubah. Sangat banyak sampaikan aku sendiri pun kadang keliru dengan diri sendiri.

Hati kering. Itu yang pasti. Dan aku takut sebenarnya dengan perubahan aku ni. Hati aku kering sampaikan aku dah tak peduli apa2 dah, tak takut apa2 dah. And I became pathetic from day to day.

Aku selalu personal kan diri aku, kenapa aku macam ni, kenapa aku macam tu, kenapa aku pilih macam ni, kenapa aku pilih macam tu. Kadang ada aku salahkan orang atas apa yang jadi. Sebab diorang aku jadi macam ni. Tapi betul ke salah orang lain, bukan diri sendiri?

What if, kita dah sedaya upaya untuk tak jadi macam tu tapi tiba2 ada orang datang dalam hidup kita and start to change everything in our life. And I just stand there, stare blankly let them destroy my life and just accept the destruction? Adil ke aku cakap macam tu?

Tapi sebenar-benarnya memang salah aku la kan? Sebab biarkan benda tu jadi dan berlarutan. Entahlah, I don’t feel anything anymore. I’m not sad, I’m not happy either. I’m not anything. I’m just surviving because of my existence (which is not important). And I think I will keep surviving until I don’t know when.

The cursed feeling

Sometimes, whenever we are feeling hopeless, we are feel not wanting to live anymore. But it's not that we want to die, it just that we lost the purpose. The purpose of life. Because without purpose, we feel nothing. And feel nothing is such a curse.

Perihal ingin melawan diri sendiri ternyata lebih berat daripada bersaing dengan orang lain.

Dan yang terberat ketika ingin sulit berpaling,

Ketika harapan adalah lawan.

Sedih yang dilupakan

Aku lupa bagaimana rasanya sedih. Mungkin terlalu sibuk dimanjakan atau sibuk dengan kerja dan hal dunia. Rindu rasa sedih yang dulu aku bentak-bentakkan pada dunia dulu tu. Kadang aku rasa sedih tu perlu untuk aku keluar sekejap dari rasa selesa. Aku rindu jugak menulis. Walaupun tulisan di blog lapuk ni macam dah tak releven, aku rasa kau kena jugak menulis to keep myself sane.

Harap semuanya dalam keadaan okay. Jaga diri ye semua!

Recently, aku buka balik app curious cat. Masih ada manusia yang bertanya soalan rupanya walaupun aku dah lama tak jawab. Macam2 soalan ada. Ada dua tiga soalan yang sama, "bila nak update blog?". Aku tak sangka ada orang sudi baca blog aku. Terima kasih weh, serius. Well, aku rajin menulis kalau tengah down, sedih, hati hancur, rasa terabai, takde benda nak buat. Sekarang ada je sedih, tapi banyak masanya tak sempat nak layan sedih. Sebab tu tak ada masa jugak untuk hadap blog. Aku hadap laptop sebab kerja je sekarang ni. Menulis ni kena pakai emosi. Kalau takde emosi cerita jadi kering. Ehe.

Ada juga soalan2 yang agak meruntun hati. Minta nasihat dan pandangan tentang masalah hidup masing2. Sejujurnya, ini antara benda paling lemah untuk aku. Paling takut nak nasihat orang. Aku bukan kaunselor, bukan therapist, bukan public figure yang layak untuk bagi kata2. Aku rasa, aku adalah orang terakhir yang kau boleh jadikan option kalau nak bertanya macam mana nak handle hidup. Tapi, kalau orang tanya jugak, aku akan cuba bercakap dari perspektif sendiri. Dengan kata mudah, orang tanya aku jawab. Kalau tak tanya, aku tak pandai2 nak komen/kritik/persoal masalah hidup orang.

I cannot simply say "I've been there" sebab mungkin situasi orang lain lebih teruk dari aku, but I will tell my side of story, if you can relate, dan ambil yang baik, ambillah.

Hidup kita ni berfasa sebenarnya kalau korang perasan. Kita akan matang seiring dengan fasa2 yang kita lalu. Yela, dah jumpa macam2 jenis manusia yang boleh mendewasakan kita. Dari strangers ke kawan sekerja, dari kawan kepada lawan, dari kekasih kepada bekas kekasih, yang kata sedara rupanya sekadar satu darah, antara yang peduli dan tak peduli. Life was so full of hatred before sampailah aku mampu seimbangkan logik akal, emosi dan iman.

Ada orang tanya, macam mana nak handle hidup berbaik dengan orang yang kita benci. I'd say..you have to deal with the shit. Kalau ada kuasa untuk ubah, kita ubah. Kalau ada daya untuk elak, kita elak. Dengan bahasa mudah, I hate all the wrongdoings yang orang buat kat aku. Tapi aku cuba untuk maafkan diorang setiap hari. Macam mana? Mohon Tuhan lembutkan hati aku untuk maafkan semua yang pernah sakitkan aku dalam setiap solat. Bukan untuk diorang, tapi untuk aku. Selebihnya tu urusan dia dengan Tuhan.  And I can assure you guys yang kalau kau maafkan orang2 yang pernah sakitkan kau, inshaaAllah kau akan tenang. Aku dah rasa. Alhamdulilah.

Post kali ni panjang la pulak..ehe. Sorry.
Well, kita semua belajar sesuatu dari keadaan sekeliling. I remember a good phrase from someone close to me after we shared our worst experiences dealing with same shit, he said, "buat je baik dengan sesiapa walaupun orang tu tak baik. Buat bukan untuk dia, tapi untuk hati kita".

Kerana aku pernah dipukul keras oleh kenyataan
bahawa mimpi-mimpi aku tidak terjemput pada waktu yang aku inginkan.
Maka semestinya aku harus mengerti bagaimana rasa sakitnya
dan bagaimana harus menerimanya.

Farewell, 2019.

I'm thinking not to write any resolution for this year. I might have some but I will let things go with  the flow.

I'm here writing to accept some bad things happened last year.
Maybe I was heartbroken.
Maybe I failed someone's expectation towards me.
Tried my best to no avail.
Lost someone.
Made some bad decisions.
Said things I didn't mean.
Some weren't within my control.
Some things I can learn from.
Well...that's okay.

I'm accepting them.
It means I can move on and begin new year with a new slate.
I don't want to carry this weight with me into this year and blame myself forever for mistakes everyone makes.
I don't deserve this.
I'm only human.
I will focus more on good things that happen because they're easy to overlook.
I think I did better than I think.
Met new people and overcame few challenges.
And I think I'm of myself.

Farewell, 2019.

When you invite a person into your mind, you allow them some reigns over your emotions.
I kind of... dislike that.
Because if you invite the wrong person, whether you want to or not, you will be hurt.
When you get close to someone, there bound to be fights, and I'm not fan of that.

I keep asking myself, how can I be sure that the person I let in won't hurt me?

And I realized something.
I don't.
It's a gamble we all have to take, initially.
I can't know unless I try.
But if I close myself off out of fear, then I'll never find what I need either.
If I am truly happy with just my own company, that's also fine.
But am I?

So, am I ready to take the step of re-opening myself up to another person?
and see if he's worth the risks?

Berbulan-bulan telah kita berdoa dan berusaha sehingga terkuras seluruh tenaga yang ada. Namun Tuhan masih belum beri apa yang kita minta. Lalu kita terus berputus asa, kecewa dan mula berburuk sangka. Kita fikir Tuhan tak sayang kita. Tuhan tak peduli dan tidak juga kasihan.

Seolah-olah kitalah yang lebih tahu baik buruknya sesuatu perkara dan keadaan. Seolah-olah doa kitalah yang paling mustajab untuk terus diperkenankan. Seolah-olah usaha kitalah yang paling jitu untuk segera diangkat ke sisi Tuhan.

Bukan berdoa itu juga satu bentuk kasih sayang Tuhan kepada kita? Bukankah setiap lafaz doa dan lintasan hati yang baik-baik itu semuanya berpahala? Semakin lama dan berterusan kita berdoa, maka semakin banyaklah juga catatan pahala sebagai bekalan untuk kita nanti di sana.

Semoga sifat ketidaksabaran tidak menjadi asbab Tuhan tinggalkan kita, walaupun hanya untuk sekelip mata lamanya.

A remembrance of an ache.
For the way things were, the things that were. Now, I don't even want to remember those things, who does? But I do remember the ache I used to get when I used to think of those things, those ways. When I miss those things, those ways. I haven't been good at letting go. Just once more, just the once. That flutter in my heart, the tightening of breath. But I know it'll never stop. When it's there, it'll be there. If I get it once, I'll want it again. Or I'll want the fantasy version of what I know I shouldn't repeat. The ache has gone, the memory remains. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug.

"You know what's the best thing about growing up?
Maturity. It amazes me all the time".

"Okay then, but how do you define a matured person?"

"Those who know how to handle simple things in life. Because if you can't handle simple things in life, how can you manage to handle much bigger things?"

Kita hidup di zaman media sosial sebagai carta paling atas dalam hidup manusia sekarang.

Melalui media sosial kita boleh "sneak peek" hidup orang lain, kan?

Lepas tu mula la kita bandingkan hidup kita dengan hidup orang lain. Kita tengok hidup orang lain sempurna, macam takde masalah langsung. Well, tell me, siapa je nak tunjuk yang dia tengah hidup miserable? Kebiasaannya orang akan tunjuk yang indah2 je kat media sosial.

Tapi kenapa kita nk iri hati? Nampak orang bahagia, kita doakan yang baik-baik jela. Hati busuk kita ni kalau boleh tak payah la tunjuk kat orang. Buruk. Biar kita dengan Tuhan je tahu, dan diam-diam berusaha wangikan balik hati tu, okay?

Tiada manusia yang sempurna, tapi bahagia tu inshaaAllah, boleh je dapat. Kalau kita belajar untuk bersyukur dengan apa yang kita ada.

Contentment is one of the greatest feeling we can feel.

Mungkin kita belum jumpa apa yang kita cari,
sebab kita belum cari apa yang kita sepatutnya jumpa.

Tapi macam mana kalau kita pun tak tahu kita cari apa sebenarnya?

Dear life,
I'm perplexing and you definitely got the element of surprise bursting here and there.

She said,

"Dear you, when I found you, you were in hundred pieces. Give or take. I didn't try to fix you or put you back together. You are fine the way you are. If broken is how I found you, broken is how I will love you"

Thank you for not hating me when I hated myself.

Disheveled

At times, some words stick. I mean, I know this word. I've never used it in a conversation but yes, I know it.

Then one morning, while I'm still trying to run the sleep out of my eyes, it comes to me. Maybe I dream of something, I don't know. And it sticks, and it doesn't go away. One day, two days, a week. It stays in my mind.

Disheveled.
Is it because that's how our life is? It's not flawless, it's not a straight line, it's not a jog around the park. It's messy, and untidy and altogether so grown up. I'm no longer a child, yet I refuse to accept it. What am I then? I've never really introspected it. I feel like I've done everything the wrong way around my entire life. Acted too old in childhood, too mature in teenage and now I behave like a child. I did this when I should have done that. And the other way round.

I've locked myself quite a long time and thrown away the key. It's been a while I had a decent, witty, interesting conversation with people. I don't even know how to talk anymore. Is it too early for a mid life crisis? or too late? I never know.

Anything, I'm never sure. It's a consequence of knowing that "one can't know everything". And yet, obliviously confident people thrive. Not an iota of self-doubt though. My ability to hide is diminishing. And the shittiest part is that I'm not actually lacking for anything. Everything's fine. It really is. It's just not joyful anymore.

How would I invigorate myself when I have so fully sunk into inertia? I feel I have forgotten to talk, to chat, to write and to flirt maybe? ehe..kidding...or I'm not?

Inertia leads to regression. Hopelessness. How do I fight that? How do I not give up?
Arise, awaken, but how?

Growth is so painful, staying here even more so. Weep for the years lost, yet know that I will weep more for the years to come.

Guide me, teach me.
For God's sake, inspire me.

Things we can see only when we slow down

There are absolutely countless of things that we can see, appreciate, and be grateful for, only when we slow down.

Hidup ni tak pernah berhenti,
just like time
it never stops.

But so does our heart
and desires
and exprectations
and hopes

And maybe that's why we always wonder,
"why am I not yet blessed?"
Sedangkan banyak sekali kurniaan Tuhan yang telah kita nikmati,
but we failed to see them.

Maybe we should just take a little time to ponder
how today has been a blessing
from the moment we open our eyes this morning
up till this very moment.
I'm sure there's a lot of them.
For starter, we being alive is one thing.

Regardless how nonsensical thing is at this moment,
there are always something to be thankful for.
Why am I so sure of that?
Sebab Allah Maha Baik.
Maha Memberi.
Amal kita banyak sekali lompongnya.
Ibadah kita apatah lagi.
Tapi kurniaanNya selalu sempurna.

And suddenly I'm thinking and question myself
have I been grateful for today?
Dah masuk jam ke 21 ni
tinggal lagi 3 jam nak masuk hari baru.
Have I sincerely say
"Alhamdulilah for what He blessed me with today?"

and it occurs to me
I haven't.
:(

How sad.

We often asked Allah for the best. But we get stress when He removed something from our lives. Part of our problem is that all too often, we assume that Allah is not meeting our needs or is holding back in some way. When in reality, He is meeting our needs, in His capacity - an all knowing one - instead of ours - a limited one. 

May every prayer of yours be granted, in a way better than the best you could hope for or imagine.

Do I deserve to be this happy?

Why do I get this feeling that whenever something good happens, something bad will follow?

لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله



How beautiful is it that we don't need to shoulder everything on our own?
I'm always reminded of this whenever I come across the above ayah.

It's only through admitting our powerlessness that we are unable to do anything without the help of Allah, that it stops us from over burdening ourselves with so much this life throws at us.

We don't have to have everything figured out.
Find comfort in knowing that we have Allah to carry us through.

If you ever find yourself going through hardship,
pain,
struggle,
or when you're stuck,
confused,
exhausted

recite the above ayah,
having full faith that Allah will help you through it all.

We are his 'abd.
And He is our Lord.
Part of being His slaves is embracing powerlessness.
True power isn't attained through statuses, it's attained  through humbling ourselves and placing all our worries in His Hand knowing He'll take care of everything.

Truly there is no might or power except with Allah.
