Tentang Keberanian

Ketidaktahuan membuatku ketakutan, padahal hal yang paling dibutuhkan dalam hidup adalah keberanian (quotes from Vera F. Maharani, gila, gaya banget ya aku bikin quotes)
Oke, bilang aku sok filsafati atau apa lah. Memang sedang filsafati mode: on kok. Huahahaha *ditonjok dan gak diaku murid sama dosen filsafat*

Kejujuran boleh deh jadi mata uang yang berlaku di seluruh dunia, tapi untuk jujur, kamu harus BERANI dulu.
Untuk jadi orang baik, kamu harus BERANI berbuat baik di belantara rimba orang jahat.
Untuk jadi penjahat sekalipun, kamu harus BERANI ambil resiko. BERANI digebukin kalo ketangkap. BERANI dihukum kalo ketauan. BERANI nerima azab dunia akhirat.
Untuk jadi pengemis kamu harus BERANI malu. Untuk jadi pelajar yang baik kamu harus BERANI bertanya, soalnya kalau nggak nanti sesat di jalan (walaupun prinsip aku sih kalo malu bertanya ya anggap aja jalan-jalan. hehe)
Untuk jadi apa pun, di jalan yang direstui Tuhan atau disukai setan, kamu harus BERANI.

KEBERANIAN adalah apa yang membuat manusia bisa bertahan dan beranak pinak. Bayangin kalo dulu papa nggak BERANI nembak mama, apakah mereka bakal jadian dan ujung-ujungnya lahir aku? Ragu deh.
Makanya, bisa dibilang kayak gini nggak ya?

Kamu adalah produk keberanian, Vera, maka jadilah berani!

Jadi apa esensinya aku nulis ini pagi-pagi ya?
Sekedar penyemangat diri aja mungkin, karena aku tampaknya agak takut untuk bangun dan menghadapi hari.

BERANI, atau jangan hidup sama sekali!

Der Erlkoenig (The Elf King), A Poem By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Image
One of my favourite Goethe Poem. The bleak ambience and the story makes me weep. If you don't understand German, no problem, there's an English translation down there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :) Illustration of Der Erlkoenig by Frank Kirchbach Der Erlkönig Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind; Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm, Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.   "Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" "Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht? Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?" "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."   "Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir! Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir; Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand , Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand."   "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht, Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?" "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind; In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind.&qu

Sentimental Hours

'Twas a car ride at night and old tunes from a band.  Looking out, raindrops raced on the window glass. Houses passed, red bricks and orange lights. Messages sent to radios, probably were never heard. And I dreamt of becoming, but never being. 'Twas a lazy afternoon and indescribable longing. A poem hastily scribed, of a girl  peeking from behind the curtain.  There you were, a boy of pale face, of mismatched socks, of silly attire. For a while you lived there, a fixture of short future. And I dreamt of becoming, but never being. You are a thousand things that were and never were :  The smell of bookstores, Murakami on the shelves, Spanish Romance from a music box, withered messages in a bottle, a smiling face on the screen, unfinished poetry written on tattered pages. Still I only dreamt of becoming, and never being. Bandung, 15 April 2020 Vera F. Maharani

Day #1 : 10 Things That Makes Me Happy (PART 2)

Greetings, random lurkers  of the dark alleys of internet, it is nice to see you again. I hope you are not waiting everyday for my post, because I have been cheating on this challenge by not posting in consecutive days. But trust me, I have prepared this post for quite some time.  So let's just forget my inconsistency, and on to the part 2, shall we? Credit : This post was written (and posted) after urging from Aulia Dewantari. Go check her entries here .  For the first part of my post, click here . 6.Germany win in a major competition Actually it doesn't have to be major competition. My mood escalates drastically every time the German national football team win a match, no matter how trivial that match is. You can imagine how ecstatic I was when Germany won the 2014 World Cup. One of the major reasons why I think 2014 is among the best year of my life so far. Some of you might think, why Germany? That, my friend, is a hard question. You might need to subje
