A Memento : I Still Have It With Me


"I still have it with me, and I still take you as the person you've always been to me."

I found it two days ago in the box where I keep my mementos. To be honest, I was pretty amazed to see that it's still working.

I can still see the playlists and play the songs, which to my surprised, sounded unfamiliar to me, now. I still remember a few, some old songs that we sang along in your car, but the rest.. I felt like those were not mine.

I wonder, have I and my music taste changed so much all these years? Or were they yours?

Anyway, the only problem is; it has 0% battery life. It can't be charged, and could only be on when I plugged it into the power. It probably pictures the condition best; dying and irrelevant.

I understand that we sometimes feel the need to disappear and restart our lives or something. We might need to wipe off our past to survive, and I might be included on the part that people wanna forget.

That's why I gave you those three things to promise, the first time we met, almost three decades ago;

First, you owe me nothing, not even an explanation or a good bye whenever you feel the need to leave. Second, you may leave anytime, anyway and anyhow you want to.

And the last one, those points applied for me, too.

I still hold and respect those promises until now, and that's probably everything that I want you to know, should you happen to find this post out of the blue.

You're still a good part of mine, and I wish you well.

I was telling a close friend of mine about this iPod yesterday, when I realized that you are one of the very few people in my life where both of our families have known and met each other in person.

That somehow made me smile.

Some nights feel too young to sleep early,
tonight is one of those nights.

"I've always been the one who are too good at leaving."

Masterpiece

A masterpiece is not only the result of progressing skill sets of the artist/ creator. In my opinion, it is even more to the results of the expanding character and evolving mind of the artist, from time to time. How we grow our wisdom and our understanding towards ourselves and life, matter the most. How we choose to express them, what medium that we prefer, and which skill sets that we will use, will follow later. Art is just one of the few mediums that I chose to explore life, express my thoughts, and to expand myself. To experience life, explore myself, and encapsulated the journey through as many masterpieces as I could, is my main personal goal as an artist. However, being an artist is never my goal. To be a human that understand life, is. And that's how my priority works. Should there be one day for me to leave art behind and work with another medium to explore my path, I wouldn't hesitate even a split second to leave. My true masterpiece will be my own life. --- My work ...

Gratitude

I know gratitude is important and I, myself, have been experiencing the positive effect of it. Yet, not until yesterday, I really witness the real power of gratitude. So, I joined Inalix's team building event virtually, yesterday. I've been managing and coordinating their digital presence and publication these few months. On that virtual meeting, we listened to the history of Inalix, and we get to know almost every members and listen to their stories. One of the newest colleagues that just joined Inalix is Wahid. He was one of the few who joined the event virtually as well. I could see he was laying down on his bed, and I thought he was sick. Indeed, he was sick, but it wasn't the kind of sickness that I thought. His friend who took him to join Inalix, told us his story. He couldn't move most of his body parts; from toes to recently his jaw, he couldn't really move them. He could move his head and hands, but the rest was numb. So, he couldn't munch food, and cou...
