05 - Solitude & Kindness

Question 26: What are some little things that make you feel warm and fuzzy?

Why do some things feel so hard to answer when they’re actually questioned?

Jadi setelah buka google dan baca beberapa contoh “some little things that make you feel warm and fuzzy”, I just realized that most of the things come from my own solitude.

Aku inget sekitar tahun 2008 habis operasi, aku selalu ke teras rumah sakit sambil bawa camilan. Doughnut and tea were my most favorite. Aku duduk di kursi roda di ujung teras and stared at the buildings, listened to the cars’ horn and engines, and just anything. Nothing beats that yet.

Aku seneng suasana Simpang Lima di sore hari. Like you are in the middle of a big field, and the other part of the world just keep going around and you don’t have to go with them.

Aku suka liatin lampu kendaraan dari atas jembatan halte Trans Jakarta. That’s the view I’ve got to see almost everyday in many phases these years.

My favorite weather is stormy rain. It’s loud, full of “rage”, scary but beautiful at the same time.

Aku suka wangi kopi di stasiun dan bandara. Like you’re standing at the front door, ready to chase the adventure, or go home; and the smell of the coffee just remind you to slow down to breathe.

When it comes to people, I love it when they remember small details about me. My favorite F&B choices, things I’ve said that I didn’t remember, or my concerns even if I can definitely go flexible.

Aku inget aku pernah lagi capek dan marah banget karena suatu hal di forum dan aku pergi ke toilet cuma buat nangis. Satu temenku ini, yang bahkan kami itungannya belum lama kenal dan ga sedeket itu juga, ternyata nyusulin aku just to offer a hug.

Aku inget pernah disamperin ke kosan pagi-pagi dianterin mouse karena semua mouse-ku rusak padahal hari itu ada deadline tugas. Aku inget ujug-ujug dibawain makanan pas sakit karena dulu mau sekalian nitip makanan tapi pada nyuruh pesen lewat ojol aja sementara pas itu menu ojol masih terbatas dan ongkirnya mahal banget buat anak kosan.

Temen-temenku pada baik banget, tapi ini udah limit batas tulisanku, jadi aku sudahi aja mau nangis dulu. And here are bonus pictures I’ve posted on my story that somehow warmed me.
