lines.
I thought Indonesians learn how to colour inside the lines at a very young age.
Then how come they don’t know how to drive within the lines??
dear Lord,
Let the rain come and wash away
the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds
held and nurtured over generations.
Let the rain wash away the memory
of the hurt, the neglect.
Then let the sun come out and
fill the sky with rainbows.
Let the warmth of the sun heal us
wherever we are broken.
Let it burn away the fog so that
we can see each other clearly.
So that we can see beyond labels,
beyond accents, gender or skin color.
Let the warmth and brightness
of the sun melt our selfishness.
So that we can share the joys and
feel the sorrows of our neighbors.
And let the light of the sun
be so strong that we will see all
people as our neighbors.
Let the earth, nourished by rain,
bring forth flowers
to surround us with beauty.
And let the mountains teach our hearts
to reach upward to heaven.
Amen.

hidden information
So apparently in relationships there’s such thing as “hidden information”. What that is is when you have an information that you think might hurt your partner, it’s best to hide it from them. I’m a firm believer of the truth. For me, when my partner knows something that concerns me that I don’t know about, I’d want to know, even if it hurts. I think the pain of knowing is much less than the pain of knowing my partner is hiding something from me.
Some people might not agree, but I think the more you hide from someone, the more there is to remember. What if one day you slip up? It’s the same with an extra serving of pain. So for me it’s better to tell me upfront whatever it is, rather than hide it from me. I’d feel kind of cheated. Is that weird?
Or maybe I have a higher pain threshold. Haha.
