Tuhan, tolonglah aku, kembalikan ia ke dalam pelukku
"So many of us get trapped into taking a dive in a pool of problem and disturbance, just to end up drowning deeper and deeper, because we forget that breathing is still a necessity despite everything. There is no in-between for ‘bad’ and ‘good’, ‘happiness’ and ‘sadness’ but to associate our life with only either one doesn’t help us, it will only make us feel even more remote and stiff. It makes us feel unreasonably guilty, too. Being happy all the time doesn’t mean we’re positive; it means we’re ignorant, while being too caught up in our failed emotions doesn’t necessarily mean we’re emotional; it means we’re defeatist. So how do we make ourselves feel good? By accepting both the poison and the candy of things. Life is simple like that. It is us who makes it complicated.”

An unplanned virtual reunion,
and it started with a simple greeting on a friend's wall.
No wonder the storm is coming here,
you guys are having your own sort of storm in your heart over there.
All the best, my dear friends.
Storm or rain, insyaAllah, we all can make it through.

No wonder we all think of each other.
