DAN KAU...

Agustus, 21 2015

Ilustrated by me

Dan kau yang menjunjung ku
Tinggi, setinggi-tingginya
Membantuku menggapai langit biru
Meraih balonku yang terbang di atas sana

Dan kau tetap memegangku, erat
Walaupun balon itu telah di tangan
Supaya aku tidak ikut terbang
Dan lupa pada daratan

Dan kau terus merengkuhku, kuat
Sehingga bila angin berhembus kencang
Dan balon itu akhirnya terlepas
Aku takkan jatuh terhempas

Dan kau yang memelukku, lembut
Dengan senyum mu yang tulus
Hingga sedihku takkan berlarut
Saat balon itu meletus

Dan kau adalah ibuku
Yang selalu ada untukku
Dan selalu ada di hatiku
Sampai kapanpun

Selamat Ulang Tahun, Mamah!

For my dear mom, who always supports and helps me achieving my dreams, gives the best advices and lessons to keep me in faith, be there for me in all my ups and downs, and loves me unconditionally. I love you!

17!

How does it feel to be seventeen? 

I think I’m about to freak out. Wait, I already am. Being 17 and all is overwhelming. Maybe age is just a number, but for me, it also about achievements. And these couple days it got me thinking. What have I done in the last 17 years? 

The answer is: not much. 

I’m still nowhere to make everyone in my life happy and proud. Not even my mother. Maybe she is proud of me, I would never know because she never tells me so. 

But whatever I might feel inside and whatever my twisted mind trying to tell me, one thing I know is: I am lucky surrounded by people who love me. For who I am. Meythria is a bitch. Meythria is (sometimes) unpleasant to be with. Meythria is so self center, she wants the universe revolves around her. And that, sometimes, drift people away from her. But still, I am trying every day in my life to be a better person. 

I am grateful to have so many kind and special people in my life. And I thank you, Mom. You are the one to make me believe I can do things that seems impossible to do. You, are my torch, lights my way especially when I am lost and can’t see or think what to do. I love you, for being quirky, funny, smart, warm you. Thank you.  

They say, life begins at thirty. I say, life begins when you know how to be grateful. 

And I am still learning. 

So, welcome, seventeen. Let’s get awesome together!
