Let’s Take A Time

Posted on by Prisanti Leave a comment

There is something calm and somewhat fear towards mountains. The silent guardian, telling story about million years before us. The story of every explosion and every friction of the earth. Sometimes we forget how to be human, caught up in the middle of the universe. Mending broken pieces which supposed to be left unsaid. We forget how to take a silence between the hustling moments.

Let’s take a time today, to remember every moment that matters. Every people forgotten. Every hearts that need to be heal. Let’s take a time today to sit around and glad to be alive.

Hold On

Life isn’t easy for some of us, but is not that bad either for most of us. Lately, I’ve been struggling with work at office. Not the first time to experience it tough, everybody does have time to question their being and whether they’re unsure of doing things for a long time. Or maybe just questioned what exact changes or impact you have created to this great great world. For me, it usually cured up by taking short vacation. HongKong, Tokyo, mostly Singapore, or like last month, to this place.

Sure, sometimes I still stare blankly on the ceiling and said to myself, I should just buy that ticket to Milan and leave all of these. But I guess, when you get older, you get list of responsibilities and getting afraid of a lot of things. I think I have told you million times about that, so I just leave it to there. You probably knew all that feeling already. Doubt and what-if are normal for the late 20s. Suddenly I realized, I just forget how to be young. I’m 27 and considering I will always be younger than a lot of people, I’ve been thinking a lot lately. John Mellencamp once said to Jack & Dianne,

“Hold on to 16 as long as you can.”

Maybe for me, it’s 16 and 11 years later, but I just want to cherish every moment. The point is to hold on to your youth and celebrate it. If you’re not considering you’re young, well let me tell you this, you are :)

Beside all of it, I’ve finally found something that cheer me up lately. You know, last time I wrote a post about a lot of friend who’s getting a broken heart. Well, one of them isn’t anymore (or two?). At first, I’m really not into matchmaking, because I think it’s lame and terrible. But you know that happiness is contagious and just seeing people /that happy/, I suddenly remember what is all my life about. Seeing people happy, giving happiness, being happy and that’s just what I need right now. Remembering those feeling about giving, it’s really a great feeling. I just want to do more and more of it. Whether it’s a box of chocolate, a pair of shoes, or even in the form of introducing someone to certain someone, I always hope it ends up the same. Happiness.

Have a nice Saturday night, lovebirds :3

late-night radio broadcast #3

Posted on by Prisanti Leave a comment

It is midnight and it’s starting to rain outside. Feeling sentimental about the rain? I told you we’re on the same wavelength about this. Have you found another way to forget those lonely spaces? Have you tried the hurt healer and wound patches?

One question remains tonight. How do you measure a broken heart?
Minutes? Days? Moments?
I’m sure all of you have different ways to handle it but do you exactly remember when it stops hurting you? Is it when you find another ‘someone’? Is it when you find yourself in another routine that keeps you away from feeling miserable? Is it when you pull out an Adele? Pour the rage out and turn it into six Grammys?

‘When’ isn’t exactly the case, because you are who matters. People find themselves in different ways. Finding you isn’t easy, but as Dr. Seuss once said, ‘There is no one alive who is Youer than You.‘. If it isn’t because of those shitty broken heart drama, you won’t be standing this high. So, I will leave you tonight.
Enjoy the height.

PS: It’s back in 2010 when I wrote the first piece of late-night radio broadcast :’)  That time, I never knew when I was going to write the continuation but I did write the ‘#1’ on its title. When I finally wrote this, some of my friends are experiencing a broken heart. It is the distance that separates me from getting them a bar of chocolate like I always do back in those days. I wish I can be more than the-late-night-chats on their mobile data plan. But then again, they are some bad ass people that much stronger than any other, so I know you are going to be okay (and be the greatest you’ll ever be).

I’m wide awake, so what’s the point of dreaming when your life is great?
Celebrate the feeling, celebrate the feeling.
Can’t complain about much these days, I believe we’ll be okay.

My Casual Week

I don’t really have anything to do for these last hours of Sunday. I’ve checked all to-do-list on my calendar and some random idea keeps coming and coming. I told myself to write, but I don’t really have anything to write. I’ve got no new news, since life seems roll like it should be right now. Work and some other things to do. I’m kind of exciting for few things, like a trip next week or Kawung Living’s first collaboration ever (ha!).

Speaking of it, some friends asked me how I managed time to run Kawung Living as well having a full time job. The answer is I really don’t know either.

What We Barely Understand

Posted on by Prisanti Leave a comment

I bumped into a friend, couple weeks ago. We didn’t say any hello, we didn’t talk. In an event with hundreds of people attending, it is likely to happen since we don’t really that close. I didn’t know his story, until I really met him that day. I’ve heard rumors and finally I knew what likely happened at an after-party later that night. I didn’t respond much after hearing that, but I thought about it a lot. Days after days. I’m kind of sad and blaming myself to not greet him personally. I’m disappointed by myself that something was holding me for saying hello. I’m mad that I’m becoming a person I hate that night. A person that afraid of differences.

The world has becoming a place with too many differences right now. Some crazy things that we cannot imagined happens. Maybe I will be forever opposed some of it, or I will never support it at all. But I can still accept it. I want to accept you.

 I just want to give love.

It is easy to live alone, and be enough for yourself, enough for your little family, enough for your circle of trust. But there is nothing as too much love, since God pours a lot into the world. There won’t be enough love to give. I cried tonight, for love that I cannot share that night. I don’t know whether we would meet again in the future, but I want to tell you that I cannot be more proud of you. It must have been hard, for you, for anyone. I know for sure, that you won’t tell me those story personally. But I want to still love you for who you are, for whatever things you’ll become.

Tonight, my prayer goes to you. For every plan you’ll have after this. May all the sunbeams and moonbeams shine upon your path. There is always be place for you, the one which is caring and loving. You’ll share it someday, you’ll find one someday. A state when your love won’t be enough for yourself. It is true that we don’t need another mountain. It is true that what the world needs now, is love. Love is always kind.

We don’t need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
