The void

There's just one night that I feel so defeated in life, tears clogging up my throat, and tell myself, 'ok I'll just cry later.' Sometimes I found myself repeating "I'm fine", just because I don't even know how I feel anymore.

I came here..because I don't understand. I can't comprehend, is this what reality looks like? I don't know if I'm real anymore, and I just want to wake up.. I have to wake up. 

Everyone sees me as the supportive and positive friend, who always takes care of everyone. I mean.. it's great that I can brighten up their day. But in the end, I'm always left out. They won't believe me that I have this anxiety, and that I, too, can have negative thoughts. And it's so crazy, sometimes I wake up and everyday feels like a dream. Like I do what I need to do, and I don't even think about it.

There's just a lot going on my mind right now. 

How many poles does one stud bushing have, and would a stud bushing be able to terminate 2 cores of 120 mm square cable? The chicken that I bought this weekend, will I be able to eat it next evening? Oh, another issue tomorrow has to be solved to sub-vendor and supplier, gotta call them first thing in the morning. Today was very tough, what mask should I wear tomorrow in front of people? Ignorant one, happy-go-lucky one, or the serious-get-my-shit-together one? Another decision has to be made tomorrow, if not, one project is going to be delayed. Production file for the solar array skid? Far from done. My side-kick project about papa's school is also left untouched. Oh shit, I have to buy a terminal to get this fan working properly. I need to clean up my room. You know.. I've been having trouble sleeping for weeks. Why is that? Should I call abang? No, he's busy.

You see, my head just starts spinning and to be honest, I don't have any motivation to deal with all of those things. Just when I wanted to close my eyes, "it" came. "It" is the treasure of my life, being the most precious thought I've ever had each day.

My mama, and my papa.

I close my eyes and it feels like they're here. I can see my mama's smile, her laugh, and her inappropriate jokes. And on the corner, I see my papa. He's calling me by my nick name while eating his favorite chicken breast. It feels like they are next to me, and suddenly this 10m square room feels warm, lulling me back to sleep. Just when I finally snoozed, I open my eyes and realize, that dream is supposed to be my reality. The room becomes one big blur, as this hollow feeling strike deep into my heart, piercing and dropping down into my stomach.

I think my mind is my biggest enemy. It could mercilessly tear me apart, leaving me tauntingly in the dark.

Hari ini hari senin dan ngga ada UAS apapun. Jadi ceritanya mau belajar buat UAS besok, ceritanya. lo tau ndiri sekarang gw malah ngapain kan... Abis ngubrak ngabrik fesbuk, dan seperti biasa ngeliatin fb abang gw. oiya kenalan dulu dong sama abang wa <3 Cakep yak editan wa? Vino Daniel Lahiradja Malau . nama sih asik bgt yak macem bule gimana gitu, biasanya orang2 nanya 'Ni kutu mana islam2nya namanya?'. Yang ngasih nama dia itu opung gw, kebetulan opung gw non muslim, jadi awalnya beliau mau ngasih nama....."Muhammad Vino". Demi melindungi keindahan nama Muhammad, emak gw secara tegas menolak mentah2 usulan opung gw, dan ngilangin Muhammad nya. Keindahan nama itu pun terjaga, sejuta umat pun selamat tanpa luka. Lahir tanggal 16 Februari  1992, masih 20 tahun tapi dia udah mau lulus jadi dokter ( fufufu iyalahh abang gua gitu yak ). Dia anak FK UGM dan sebelumnya dia siswa tarnus. tau ga? karena gw sayang bgt sama abang gw, dan gw berniat ngikutin dia kema...

 Hai Jan,  Kemarin lo baru ulang tahun loh. 6 November, lo genap 28 tahun. Happy birthday ya Jan, maaf kemarin gw ngga ngucapin. Better late than never toh? Inget ga Jan, pertama kita ketemu tahun 2011. Kita belajar fisika bareng di saung salman. Gw inget banget jaket jeans biru muda lo, kaos kutang sama jeans hitam.  "Lo tuh pinter, tapi males! Buku catatan lo ga jelas, nulis di kertas-kertas terus ngga dikumpulin! Gimana UTS nanti bisa lancar?" Hari itu gw ngedumel terus, ngeliat lo cengengesan sambil jawab "Iyee kes, ajarin gw dong plis." Inget ga Jan, lo dateng ke kosan gw pagi-pagi jam 5 karena nganterin gw ke Borromeus, soalnya gw nge-twit kaki gw kepelintir. Lo langsung BBM dan bilang "10 menit lg gw sampe kosan ya". Pagi itu gw bersyukur banget, terus gw traktir lo makan siang di bebek borromeus. Lo makan rakus banget, karena lo cerita hari itu lo ngga tidur sampai pagi. Inget ga Jan, selama kita di himpunan lo jarang nongkrong di sekre. Tapi sekal...
