Kebetulan lewat di lini masa akun media sosial saya dan rasanya koq pas banget. Ya at least most of the pas banget.
Karenanya saya fikir it deserves a post disini. Paling penting ya buat mengingat, biar anytime saya merasakan urgensi untuk membacanya kembali bisa dengan mudah menemukannya. Kedua siapa tau ada mereka yang like-minded iseng keluyuran di dunia maya menemukannya dan mendapat sedikit insight untuk kehidupannya sendiri.
So here they are tanpa saya otak atik sama sekali. Nggak ditambahin dikuriangin, nggak diterjemahkan, nggak juga dibumbui dengan pendapat atau pikiran saya sendiri.
Kalau ada yang kebetulan membaca dan merasa perlu menambahkan bumbu, feel free bumbui sendiri sesuai selera masing-masing.
