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."

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?"

To Be Content

"Do you ever sit on a cafe, watching people, and think how we all are just kids trapped in adults' body, playing kids tea party game? Like.. some people will act and talk so big, as if who they are and what they said, were big deals, while we all can easily smell and sense those insecurities?" "Yeah, some people want to be seen as so important. I saw some of those people at the cafe the other day, too. But I'm just a quiet observer, and it's kind of interesting to see how different cafes attract different kinds of people." "I agree. Observing, that's what I always do, too. Those kind of cafes and those kind of people always made me feel grateful of the life that I have now. That I need no one to impress (or to be impressed with me), have no importance to boast of anything, have nothing to cover or hide, and feel completely free and content with myself. To be surrounded with only the people I care the most, and care about me, without the needs to...

Now

H ello. You are on my Now page and these are the things that I'm currently focusing on: - Healthy, balanced, and mindful living is my first priority now. - I was hospitalized for a month from August - September 2022. Some viruses attacked a part of my brain and brain stem which causes imbalances on my motoric gravity, plus I had a gout attack for the first time in my life. My infusion had to be sewn on my neck cause the meds need to be inserted through the central vein for three weeks straight. I promised myself to never be that sick ever again, and determined to change my whole lifestyle, including to prioritize myself, my health, and my peace first. Since then, I have lost 22kgs, have been maintaining my uric acid level below 5.5, manage my cholesterol level down to 146, maintain my normal fast glucose level at 85, and been eating, exercising, and living healthier, plus doing so many changes in life including the way I sleep and raising my water intake level. - Creating intentio...
