First Step

what I felt for you was love-like,
but what was it, really?
I kept questioning my self
"Am I in love with you? Or am I in love with the feeling"

The Feeling

 (go ahead play the video.. i like this cover better then the one by bieber)

I always knew what my feeling was
that you saved me from near-death thoughts  
that you're my sunshine after the rain  
that you bring back color to my gloomy days  
I was grateful and indebted

but I also feel a sensation to admire you to adore you
as if you're an idol
that I'm your number one fans

 when one and a half year passed by  
and I still can't get you out of my head
i realized something is not right so i keep trying to find out
then just last Sunday I found out what I was diagnosed with

limerence
it's a psychological term and it's real

"the state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person, typically experienced involuntarily and characterized by a strong desire for reciprocation of one's feelings but not primarily for a sexual relationship."

damn
I'm so fucked up
first depression, now this
an article says its rooted deep into the psychological realm
an unmet emotional needs, mostly during childhood
i always felt as if there's a hole in my heart
which i couldn't tell what to fill with

so i set a therapy session with the psychologist
it was hard
and gruesome
to face my past..far far behind
and that you weren't my first limerent object
and if I'm not cured  most certainly won't be the last one

after the session I realized a lot of things
I also know I have a lot to do
I have to reveal my situation to my significant other
I have to break up my emotional bonds with you

this is my first step

Understanding and Curing Limerence

(Excerpt from limerence.net, nothing was written by me)The phases of limerence
Like other addictions, we see limerence originating from early life psychological wounding. We use it to fill a hole in our soul.  We  describe  limerence as the mother of all distractions and when working with clients in limerence we are  curious to uncover what is it the person avoiding dealing with?  So often there is deep unresolved emotional pain. The client has protected themselves by covering their hearts over the years and decades with layers and layers of reinforced concrete.  This was a survival mechanism necessary from growing up in a dysfunctional and often narcissistic family system. The reality is limerence never lasts – typically it spans from 6-36 months. Just long enough for us to pair-bond and continue the survival of the species. Recent advances in neuroimaging and neurochemistry are now mapping out these pathways for romantic love. We also feel limerence is a gateway to grief. It marks …

Sort of Mid Life Crisis

Let's call it a premature mid life crisis
A time in my thirties
When everything goes everywhere
Or in another term
Goes nowhereA time when things are pretty much "it"
All the excitement has wore down
Nothing big to anticipateMaybe it's too much to say
Everything's downhill from here
But it's probably trueNot that I'm not grateful
I'm just being realistic
Maybe I had too many adrenaline in the past
So life's now seems so dullHappiness and fun comes in very different sizes, boxes and colors
Maybe I'm just not ready yet
To get tiny pale yellow boxes every other day
When deep inside I'm still waiting for that big shiny rainbow boxLife can never be as fun and thrilling as it was beforeOr can it?

Anti Proliferasi Reuni

Sebenarnya apa yang mendorong orang -dan maksudku BANYAK sekali orang- mengadakan reuni beberapa tahun terakhir?Satu hal yang jelas, sejak meluasnya penggunaan media sosial, orang "berumur" (sudah punya cukup umur dan alasan) semakin mudah terhubung dengan kawan lamanya, dari berbagai tingkatan sekolah dan jenjang studi. Ini memudahkan mereka mengetahui kabar dan lokasi masing-masing, juga untuk mengkoordinasi acara reuni itu sendiri.Sejujurnya aku jengah dengan fenomena reuni ini. Kalau dulu, reuni itu dianggap layak disebut reuni karena dilakukan setelah sepuluh, dua puluh bahkan tiga puluh tahun sejak lulus. Sekarang, sepertinya setiap tahun ada saja acara temu alumni atau reuni. Malah jadi tidak istimewa menurutku.Secara pribadi, aku bukan peminat reuni. Kalau memang ingin kumpul dengan teman lama (yang tentu saja teman paling dekat tidak akan lebih dari sepuluh orang per tingkat sekolah), aku akan datangi mereka di rumah, mengundang ke rumahku, atau janjian bertemu di r…
