A story ~ A city of warmth

Gasoline girl,

You always walk so fast.

Where are you off to, walking away like that?

"I'm going to build a car."


Gasoline girl,

You never take a breath.

Why are you putting so much pressure on yourself?

"It's time to get out."


Gasoline girl,

You smile at me like that.

What are you dreaming of in the middle of class?

"Paradise."


Gasoline girl,

You left no trace at school.

What is a student doing, wandering outside alone?

"Growing up."


Gasoline girl,

Your dad told me you weren't home.

Why not eat a meal under a roof with some warm clothes?

"A shelter isn't a home."


Gasoline girl,

You know, my family isn't the best too.

Do you remember when my mom hit me just cause she wanted to?

"I do."


Gasoline girl,

You called back after 3 days.

What happened to our friendship? Did I do something forbidden?

"Sorry, I was in a meeting."


Gasoline girl,

I feel like I've hurt you.

But why won't you tell me anything. Please, let me help you.

"I don't need help from you."


Gasoline girl,

What happened to you?


"Well,

I built a car,

Bought a map,

And a place to stay too."


"I earned some money dealing,

With the cops and pistol black barrels.

But it's enough to survive in this world

A couple of days, breaths or moons."


"I remember what your mom did,

And I decided to take us to

The city; the one I dreamed of

In the middle of Math class that afternoon."


"I met a connection with a bald eagle,

With 3 knuckle rings, 2 passports,

Smoking a joint outside of school."


"He says,

Paradise is in our horizon,

And now, all I need is you."

While listening to this song:

You could look at.....a colony of ants, or bees working together.

You could be with.....a person who you know loves you, but doesn't say it.

You could do something.....that helps you reach a goal you've been wanting to achieve (today, or long-term).

You could eat or drink.....the Kirkland granola nut bar is really good imo. So decadent, chewy, chunky and energizing.

You could remember that.....people have different ways of showing love. For some of us, it may be through acts of service, where one works hard to achieve something, although they may forget the pretty words to reassure that everything they're doing is really for you.

☽ Jantung Hati

[image source: Mr. Sonjaya (Youtube) ] A story ~ Jantung Hati [ jantung hati means "apple of my eye"] Follow the one who walks where she may, Footprints behind shake off ash and gray. Polished pearls dazzle Parade, parade Umbrellas of red leaves, catch  the rain. Apple of my eye Clipped from the branch. Roll on, roll on Slipping underneath, Shadows of a sheath, Ripely bruised from a beating. Talk, talk, talk. A harvest fresh to eat. Echo, echo. We can't choose our families, Walk, walk, walk. Unless we run from our mothers. The brightest halo  is always kin, To the shadow under its cover. Roll over and over Soon it will be over. She's been through it once, And through it another. Abandoned, But free. Running through hues Of red leaves. The apple of my eye, Reconciling. 🍁 🍁 🍁 While listening to this song: You could look at..... red and orange leaves during autumn. You could be with..... a dear friend or relative who you know has been tested through the ups and downs...

☽ Terlukis Indah

[image source: Liputan6 ] A story ~ Terlukis Indah [terlukis indah means "beautifully painted"] "I'm pretty sure many people have asked you out." "What? Really? I'm not girlfriend material though." "What do you mean?" "Well you know, I'm just...socially awkward." "Yeah but, it's a quirk though. You're quirky." "Um, it's a quirk yeah--until it isn't."  Sometimes, I'd always look at other girls and I'd wonder what it would be like to look so stunning. Kpop idols are compared to flawless anime characters, Hollywood celebrities transform into international sex icons, and I look like just one of millions of Asian girls with glasses. To me, it's always appeared like being physically hot gave someone so much privilege (followers, complements, status) to the point that it was like the pre-requisite for attractiveness. Though, what my friend told me, plus some other things I learned I g...
