Man1 needs food. Without food, he is hungry. The longer he is deprived of food, the hungrier he gets.
Consider an extremely hungry man who is constantly surrounded with food which he can see but cannot consume, because the food is simply not his portion. To the hungry man, what he sees are not a temptation [...]
Why, you think, do they call it a burning desire?
Because it really burns you, and consumes you. You, your life, your mind, body, and soul. You will not fall asleep without thinking about it, and neither will you wake up without it being the first thought of your day. You really are on fire.
And when [...]
I have not felt more confident, hopeful, and grateful in my life. Some things just need to be let out, to someone who truly cares. Now I really need to put this behind, and not let it bother me. I will relish what I have, and focus on other important things. Certainly, the matter has [...]
Quite some time ago, I read an article, in which I stumbled upon a statement to which there is much self-evident truth:

Aku masih belum rela mengaku tewas, dalam cinta.
Namun, apakah rasa cinta dan kasih sayang itu, jikalau bukan sesuatu yang datang hanya dari Tuhan? Siapakah yang bisa mengatakan “aku mahu cinta” lalu mengharapkannya dari permainan dunia, wang ringgit, dan perasaan dan kepercayaan yang luntur? Apakah cinta suatu permainan, yang berunsur suka-suka? Atau suatu perjudian, yang bergantung [...]
Saya tidak kisah sekiranya awak mencari kemarahan saya. Ibarat seorang penggali harta, dia belum tahu di mana menghentak cangkulnya baru terdengar nyaring bunyi peti besi yang berisi harta.

Bingung, berganti resah.
Selang beberapa malam ini, aku berfikir dua kali sebelum masuk tidur. Masih ada yang belum dilaksanakan, masih ada yang belum diluahkan, masih ada yang terbungkam di dada, dan otak kepala.

the guy who put his hands on you
has got nothing to do with me
and the bruises that you feel will heal
and i hope you come around
’cause we’re missing you.
cahaya api lilin yang paling malap
bisa menerangi gua yang usang hitam

Since no one else will take me seriously, I will take myself seriously.
I will be different from now on.
God, give me the strength to be resolute.
