Doors

You don't need to drown in it to know
Give it some time, just a little time
They can make you laugh
But you'll know, whether they can give you life

You may not know what you want
But you'll always know what you don't

If you go with a 7
Come back with a 9
Not a 4

You will want to hold on so much
But you'll also know there will be times when ego rules
You're afraid you'll simply say you don't need this shit
And just, turn away

You know there's nothing holding you back really
Except finding self-fulfillment
Silly and stupid as it may seems

You just know, even if it manifests in a form of test, even risks,
You'll have to take that chance
Just so you can come back, not as a new person, but with a new mind
Ready to take on the next phase

So I pray
Open doors

Month of Christmas

I've always hoped for more christmasey Christmas here in Jakarta and then my friend said, "It's Christmas everywhere!"

Truly, he is kinda right.

Never mind what people say about Christmas, whether its a consumerism disease or phenomena. It is Christmas, it is a symbol of hope and for me, patience too.

In the month of Christmas, I realise I have to put down, just for a little while, my guard, worries and cares, to appreciate the spirit of Christmas. Beyond the glittery trees, ribbons and candles, it reminds me of faith.

Sometimes life can lift you up and keep you hanging for so long you are afraid you will fall, right to zero with nothing in your hands. But this year, without snow, christmas tree or any special celebration, I embrace Christmas with prayer, keeping hope alive.
