This What We Called "JLEB" In Indonesia

This day was kinda super for me.

Again and again, more lesson. As I’ve ever tweeted before, “Kembali lagi. Pelajaran lagi.”

Hahaha, God always has ways to remind His men. This several months have been hard time for me. “Exam Month,” if I could say. Yeah, it was like some sob, some moan, and blah blah—yeah, forget it. Short, God gives me His sign, in order to make me remind about this good life. It’s like my remedy to this sort-of-miserable-and-devastating problem. Ha!

So, today I had a meeting for a volunteering thing in my campus, we had some discussions, chats and jokes. And theeeereeeeeeeeee they go the lesson.

There were some “unintentional-simIple-preach” which I took it as a quote :p

“Idup tuh emang gini, Nir. Sedih, terus seneng, terus sedih lagi, terus seneng lagi, terus sedih, eeeh seneng lagi. Pasti gitu, Nir. Itu tanda nya lo idup.”-- Dhania, one of my friends who had the same bad experience like me.

“Idup itu kayaaa—apatuh namanya—alat detak jantung yang naik turun itu, selama masih naik turun grafiknya, pasti orangnya masih idup. Kalo datar tandanya mati”—Rahardian, the coolest guy I’ve ever known. Literally. Hahahaha

Well, in Indonesia we call it ”JLEB” hahaha

So yeah, then bang, those hit me—until now.

They reminded me that life is life, that’s the process. You can’t avoid that. Hence, it made me think, I had to feel the pain, enjoy the process, and earn the lesson from that.

Pain is pain, when it comes the pleasance

And it works the other way around.

Here it is, the life

The thing that is somehow questionable

The things that presents you the twinges and the contentment

The thing that gives you a lot of lessons

I won’t exaggerate my self, like I force my self to be that “positive thinking person” haha, I’m not that person, fellas.

It’s just, because of those rambling speech, I believe. Again, that life is the way it is. And truth to be told, it's sorta relieving, actually.

Up and down, rise and drown.

It is just the matter of time,

Just wait, be calm, enjoy each step.

It will be worth something J

There, there, my self, be strong

Life is too splendid only for weep
