rasa ini
aku merasakannya lagi
rasa ini datang kembali
rasa yang dulu pernah ada

rasa yang hadir saat ku nanti dirinya
rasa yang hadir saat ku berbincang dengannya
rasa yang hadir saat ku memegang tangannya
rasa yang hadir saat ku bersandar padanya

Love again

If you’ve been following my blogs, you will know that I was in a pretty bad breakup last year. One that left me hurt, betrayed and extremely afraid to open up my heart again to anyone. Getting hurt or disappointed in the quest for love just wasn’t a risk I was ready to take.

Recently, I met someone and taking that risk to open up my heart again was something I was starting to warm up to.

I would typically look back with regret thinking that I wasted my energy. But what’s different, is this time, I’m very grateful and happy for the experience. I can look back and say I’m glad I opened up my heart, and even though it didn’t play out in the way I had thought it might, I feel healthy, grounded and grateful to have shared moments with someone who treated my heart with care and respect.

You can't have a new and healthy relationship if you are still holding onto the past

Forgive the people who hurt you. You can't move forward in life if you hold onto past hurts. Therefore, you must let the pain go

Moving on is hard. But choosing to love again is even harder.

Don't be afraid to get back up, to try again, tolove again, to live again, and to dream again.

Don't rethink your decision, keep moving forward

kisah yang baru

detik demi detik berlalu

hari hari berganti, bulan bulan berganti, tahun pun berganti

harapan harapan baru mulai tumbuh

memberanikan diri membuka kisah baru

kisah yang permulaannya penuh rintangan

kisah yang jalan awalnya tidak semulus biasanya

meyakinkan diri bahwa resiko ini bisa diatasi

lebih baik mencoba dari pada terus menoleh ke belakang dengan penuh harapan 

Sometimes you just need to break down and rebuild

Take a chance, you never know what might happen

Remember there’s always a rainbow shining after the rain
