Who am I ?

fight against a darkness that I fear. My body is no more than a host for others who are lost inside of me. There are many lives here… but I know them not. I can’t control their actions for they are their own persons. I only know of the things they do and say through what others have experienced with me. They tell of behaviors and forms of speech that are not me at all. They fear the unpredictable behaviors they have witnessed. Some behaviors are reckless… drinking and self injury destroying who I really am. Then there are the innocents… the behaviors where children appear. There are also the fearless and angry ones who practice promiscuous behaviors. They all have names… but often they choose who they reveal themselves to and who they allow to believe that I am still who I am…. the real me… the real mentally disabled me.
I would love to escape from this darkness of fear… this darkness that I often awake to only to find myself in some strange place or listen to stories of things people claim I have done. But it wasn’t me. I was lost in the darkness of my soul. How can anyone understand when I myself don’t even understand who am I now?
So, what do I do? Where do I go from here? Where is my soul’s salvation? Only time will tell. Until then, I hope that those inside will use this opportunity to allow the world to know who they are and what their story is. Perhaps in this way… I too can learn who I am now.

Stranger III

Aku bergegas pulang, mencuci rambut, mengenakan baju merah dan mencari celana hitam namun tidak berhasil menemukannya di mana pun. Sialan! Di mana aku meletakannya? Tak ada waktu lagi aku memutuskan untuk mengenakan rok hitam. Tersenyum pada diriku sendiri saat berdiri di depan cermin, stoking hitam dan sedikit make-up. Melirik jam, baru sadar sudah jam 18:45. Seharusnya sudah berangkat. Aku memutuskan untuk berjalan ke bar karena cukup dekat, hanya beberapa blok dari tempat tinggalku. Aku mungkin akan memesan minum untuk membuatku sedikit lebih santai dan menunggu Ris. Sesampainya di bar tepat pukul 07:00, aku disambut Sue di depan counter. Aku memesan anggur putih, melirik sekeliling, satu kelompok orang di sebelah bawah bar, beberapa orang di salah satu stand dan beberapa anak perempuan di sudut agak gelap. Ada lagi sekelompok perempuan di ruang sebelah kolam renang tapi mereka semua memakai pakaian hitam atau t-shirt putih. Duduk menunggu, senang bahwa Sue sedikit sibuk k...

Haduuhh... Pagi-pagi dah dapet Per Er jugaaa... banyak pulaaa....  Baiklaahhh... ayo kita mulai kerjain Per Er nya... tapi sebelum nulis tuh, saya biasanya ritual dulu, ngopi dulu lah, ngerokok dulu lah, twitteran dulu lah, efbean dulu lah... hehehe...

Dari zamannya saya masih SMU sampe kerja, saya ngekos (beli rumah belum mampu w...

Am I a lesbian?

At some point every lesbian asks herself the question: Am I a lesbian? But many heterosexual and bisexual women ask themselves the same question and come away with a different answer. So, how do you know if you are a lesbian or if you're just curious? If I only had a dollar for every time I've been asked this question, I would be a rich woman today! Struggling with one's sexual attractions is very common and not just with young people. I hear just as often from women who have been married 20 years or more. But at young age, relax and give yourself time to explore your feelings... I know many of you are looking for cut and dried ways to determine your sexual orientation. Perhaps a quiz you can take. If only it were that easy!! Unfortunately, determining your sexual orientation is not that simple. It is something that will take time and self-reflection to determine. Talking to a therapist or a lesbian coming out group may help. Some women identify as lesbian after having feel...
