Tidakkah Aneh (1)

Terinspirasi dari yang sedang ribet mengurusi temu alumni.

Aku kemarin menemukan hal yang aneh terkait reunian. Entah cuma aku saja, atau banyak yang berpikir hal sama. Menurutku, ketika tinggal di sebuah kota, maka lebih tidak berminat diajak reunian di kota itu juga.

Dalam kasusku, karena tinggal dan bermukim di Jogja, aku malah jarang ikut reuni atau ketemuan baik acara teman SMA ataupun teman kuliah. Dan biasanya yang mengajak reunian memang mereka yang dari luar Jogja atau sekarang bekerja di luar Jogja.

Ya, Jogja memang ngangenin. Setiap sudut kota dan jalannya menyiratkan kenangan dan catatan. Tapi entah kenapa aku tidak berminat reunian di kota ini.

Mungkin karena sudah bosan. Toh tiap hari juga bisa kalo sekadar mau kulineran gudeg atau bakmi jawa. Atau mungkin karena malah jadi menyepelekan? Maksudku, tidak sedikit teman SMA atau teman kuliahku yang sama-sama tinggal di Jogja saat ini. Tapi ya juga tidak pernah berkumpul untuk event khusus. Menurutku sih ya toh di Jogja ini, dimana jarak dan waktu bukan kendala sebesar di ibukota. Kalau memang ingin ketemu tinggal buat janji atau datangi langsung ke rumah.

Atau mungkin hanya karena: rindu membutuhkan jarak ruang dan waktu.

this kid

For her upcoming 8th birthday, she have everything plan out. (Most probably an Intuitive, yup, since her birthday won't be here until another two months). She already plan how it will be celebrated. Her father and I never celebrate our birthdays so her images of birthdays are definitely not from us. She plans what she wants to eat. Quite anti mainstream because she requested "nasi and kremesan". She plans when it will be held (not on her actual birth day because she wants to celebrate it with her cousin and relatives in her father's hometown). She also plans who she is going to invite. What amaze me the most is she has this idea that her cousins will give her presents which she already has prepared earlier herself. So today I drove her to this stationery store, not a fancy one, just one near her school. She then bought pretty much everything she needs and wants for her birthday. She choose the cute stuffs she wants as her present, pick the pretty boxes and bags to put...

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 als...

Third Session

The third session of my therapy was unplanned, as usual. I never set up an appointment, just using canceled sessions of students. At first, I told the psychologist that I haven't sleep well these pas few days. It's hard for me to fall asleep. Or,  I finally slept then got awake in the middle of the night, then kept awake for no real reason. I told her that when I couldn't sleep or wide awake, I'd be thinking about him, A. I'd be delusional, playing up ideas of scenes with him, or plain reeling images of A right inside my head. Then I'd be so tired I will actually fall asleep. I told her that Friday I caught a glimpse of A strolling about. I felt okay that time, just happy to see he's okay and all. But then Friday night I started to feel anxious, like sorrow inside me grew heavily. I got insomnia until morning. I told her that my heart is filled with deep longing of him. I miss him so much for no apparent reason. Who the hell is he, how can this be, and why...
