When Everything is an Illusion

I don't know now. When I strive to become independent, free from my restrains, I suddenly chained down. It's just the mixed thought of obedience and freedom. Either to keep in line with the demands I have to do, or to disregard them and run away, aiming for freedom I desperately seek.

I learned the cruelty of life. When I decided to take something that my parents would oppose, the decision bite me hard. When I decide to obey, my soul feels a powerful pain of discontent. Everything doesn't seem to be in one straight line. My wish to grow my communication, leadership, soft skills and all that is halted for papers that represents nothing more than numbers that is put on papers.

In the end, I have to be the obedient child that brings the best GPA score, a cumlaude student and slowly falls to what I despise, stigma that score is everything. All hail the scores, or so what the perception is set to my mind from their acts. If they are so distrustful with me, why not just control me since the very beginning like a puppet doll? When I speak up, I know it will bite me, as everything I am now, has their part at the highest of the shares.

In the end, I am nothing more than being obedient. Papers are the thing they see from me, the numbers are what they care for. For once I hoped they asked some questions like :
"What positions the association/extracurricular org. trust you with this year?"
"What big projects you have finished this semester?"
"Do you find a way to sustain yourself economically this semester?"
"Any unique work you have done this semester?"
Which shows that it's not the number, but the practical skills I earned during my adventure. Well, guess that's the price for being an intelligent, yet untalented kid.

Kenapa Sekarang?

Years ago, I seek it. Dulu, aku berjuang untuk bisa melewati batas teman, trying to be someone that you consider as dearest. Yes, that's back then. As I said, had it been years ago, I would have straight out say YES out of sheer dumbness, or tenacity, or both. Tabun. I used to be full of desire to get you to acknowledge me, then. Sungguh lucu sekali, I would circumvent and try to just get any chance to meet with you. Aku menginginkan lebih, dulu. But no, it has always been someone else. Someone else get to be your priority, your attention. Berharap lebih adalah kesalahanku, dan aku selalu menganggapnya demikian. Why chase over the skies you cannot reach? I almost burned the entire bridge, truly. Only one more step and I know the entire relationship will turn into nothing more than smoldering ashes in the seas of lost time. You know, had you not talk to me within the short time of me settling my almost 9-years long illusion, perhaps the bridge had been burned completely, as I had wi...

"Children are natural learners. It's a real achievement to put that particular ability out, or to stifle it. Curiosity is the engine of achievement." - Sir Ken Robinson "Tidak ada pencari ilmu yang tidak merasakan sakit. Bagi mereka, lebih baik itu daripada pahitnya kebodohan."
