September Kelam



 September, bulan kelahiranku, adalah bulan kegelapan bagi bangsaku. September menyimpan catatan kelam bagi bangsaku, berbagai rentetan kasus pelanggaran HAM terjadi di bulan ini. Bertahun berlalu tapi Negaraku tercinta ini belum mampu untuk menyelsaikan satupun kasusnya, seolah mereka tutup mata dan ditimbun begitu saja. Peristiwa kelam itu antara lain: Pembunuhan Munir Said Thalib, peristiwa Tanjung Priok, tragedi Semanggi 2, Yusuf da Randi ditembak polisi di kendari, Salim Kancil dibunuh, dan G30SPKI.

Bahkan, berkali presiden diganti tapi tidak membuahkan hasil. Penjahat HAM mungkin masih bebas dan tidak ada satupun yang benar-benar tuntas. Arwah-arwah korban yang hilang masih meminta keadilan. Mereka berlipat ganda, jiwanya merasuk pada kami-kami semua yang masih hidup dan membaca kisahnya.

Maka, perlu kiranya kita tidak melupakan setiap tetes darah dan air mata para pejuang-pejuang HAM, perlu kiranya kita mengawal dan tetap mendesak Negara agar segera mengusut list peristiwa kelam tersebut. Ketidakmampuan Negara untuk menebus dosanya menandakan bahwa lemahnya HAM di Indonesia, pemimpin berlalu hanya membekali kita dengan harapan-harapan palsu.

Sayangnya, kebanyakan kita yang berempati terbatas pada kesenjangan ekonomi yang struktural, meskipun katanya Indonesia menganut teori kedaulatan rakyat dimana "Kekuasaan tertinggi berada di tangan rakyat." hanya omong kosong belaka pada praktiknya. Rakyat harus babak belur dengan oligarki.

Tapi harapan itu tidak boleh padam, mari kita merawat ingatan dan terus mendesak Negara untuk menyelesaikan kasusnya. Negara tidak boleh lari dari dosa yang telah ia perbuat. Meski puluhan tahun telah berlalu, mereka para pejuang HAM akan selalu hidup pada ingatan-ingatan kita.

After the days full of storm

The storm has raged for many days, battering us with its relentless winds and waves. But now, let us pause—take a moment to rest and thank God for seeing us through. We’re still here, still standing strong, still holding on. The storm could not tear us apart, and for that, I am deeply grateful. I thank God for everything—for the chance to walk this ferocious road together, hand in hand. Our ship still sails, though battered, refusing to sink.     Compromise—this is what we’ve learned and continue to learn. It’s not easy, but we try, recognizing that we are only human, prone to mistakes and imperfections. We’ve seen each other’s flaws, yet we choose to stay, to keep learning and growing together.   It’s through compromise, honest communication, and keeping a cool head that we’ve found ways to rethink our own inclinations. We’ve carried scars, both old and new, but we’re committed to healing them. Healing is not a destination but a journey, and as we walk this path, we...

Norwegian Wood

The place we used to hangout Pic of me was taken by him     For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that or it doesn’t begin at all.  ―  Haruki Murakami,  Norwegian Wood I agree with that statement. As of now, I'm feeling it too, starting to love someone since the first time he told me that Norwegian Wood is his favorite Beatles song. The more I discover about him, the more my affection grows. His manner of speaking, his thoughts, the way he treats me, his talents, style, hair, laughter, soft snores, voice, dreams, taste in music, choice of books, idols, art—every facet of him captivates my heart. Have you ever felt such a strong liking for someone that your chest hurts? That's how I feel about him. I don't know how to describe it, but my feelings are undeniable. But, on the one hand, there's a fear lingering within. Some say beauty fades quickly, and I worry about the possibility of him slipping away one ...
