a very fine sophisticated young lady trying to describe the bitterness and sweetness of life

 

I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.

Espresso consumption is an aesthetic experience, like tasting a vintage wine or admiring a painting. It is a search for beauty and goodness and improving the quality of life. As it offers such subjectively ineffable ‘goodness,’ devoid of defects, the only adequate reaction to it is astonishment – astonishment that can give birth to enthusiasm, and therefore intellectual and spiritual enrichment.

ANDREA ILLY 

the one that never experience is never suffer, yet he’s never live

Dia, yang tidak pernah kamu mengerti. Dia, racun yang membunuhmu perlahan. Dia, yang kamu reka dan kamu cipta. Sebelah darimu menginginkan agar dia datang, membencimu hingga muak dia mendekati gila, menertawakan segala kebodohannya, kehilafan untuk sampai jatuh hati kepadamu, menyesalkan magis yang hadir naluriah setiap kalian berjumpa. Akan kamu kirimkan lagi tiket bioskop, bon restoran, semua tulisannya —dari mulai nota sebaris sampai doa berbait-bait. Dan beceklah pipi-nya karena geli, karena asap dan abu dari benda-benda yang dia hanguskan—bukti bahwa kalian pernah saling tergila-gila—beterbangan masuk ke matanya. Semoga dia pergi dan tak pernah menoleh lagi. Hidupmu, hidupnya, pasti akan lebih mudah.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold; when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
