You Are Enough

It's easy to feel uncared for when people aren't able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And it's so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your worth.  But the truth is, that the way other people operate is not about you. Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how they're doing doesn't even cross their mind. They aren't inherently bad or uncaring they're just busy and self focused.
And that's okay. It's not evidence of some fundamental failing on your part. It doesn't make you unloveable or invicible. It just means that those people aren't very good at looking beyond their own world. But the fact that you are that despire the darkness you feel, you have the ability to share your love and light with other is a strength.
Your work isn't to change who you are, it's to find people who are able to give you the connection you need.  Becouse despire what you feel, you are not too sensitive or too needy. You are thoughtful  and empathetic. You are compassionate and kind. And with or without anyone's acknowledgement or affection, you are enough.

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...

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...

Saat Mereka Saling Mencintai

Mereka saling mencintai selama bertahun-tahun, terkadang bertengkar, untuk alasan-alasan yang sangat kekanak-kanakan, sangat sepele, dan juga sangat konyol. Namun mereka tetap bersama, entah karena cinta atau kebiasaan, yang kita, orang luar, tidak tahu. Terkadang orang-orang yang terlibat bahkan tidak tahu betapa mereka saling mencintai, jadi bagaimana orang luar seperti kita bisa memahami masalah-masalah abstrak seperti itu? la mencintainya lebih dari yang bisa dilihatnya, dan ia mencintainya lebih dari yang bisa ditunjukkannya. Mereka selalu berselisih, berdebat, dan merajuk. Setiap kali, ia menanyakan pertanyaan yang sudah tak asing lagi, "Apakah kau benar-benar mencintaiku?" Mereka berdua saling mencintai, bukan karena kepribadian mereka berbeda, melainkan karena mereka menyadari bahwa mereka terlalu mirip: keras kepala dan konservatif. Setiap kali mereka bertengkar, mereka diam, mungkin seminggu, mungkin sebulan. Mereka saling mencintai dengan cara yang berbeda, seolah ...
