Bitter Truth Covered by Sweet Lies

Let me ask you,
How many times you sob silently in the middle of night?
How many times you give your best fake smile to your friends?
How many times you tell the world you're fine?
How many times you pretend everything will be fine?
And now, are you okay?
I called my friend last night. I need some stupid talk just before finally I fell asleep. We talked about many things, about my life currently about hers too. And I told to her about my current anxiety and she asked me "are you okay?"
"Am I okay?" I asked to myself. 
The answer hang in my tongue, "Surely I'm fine."
But deep inside I know, I'm not that fine even if I try hard to spell over and over again that I'm perfectly fine.
Several days ago, I got a question from ask.fm "what is better: bitter truth or sweet lies?". For me, this is a kind of bitter truth covered by sweet lies.

Fifth Step: [REVIEW] COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream

 Menyadari kalau perlu moisturizer yang bener-bener melembapkan dan bisa nge-seal semua produk dan kelembapan di kulit dengan maksimal, aku nggak bisa pakai mosturizer yang ringan.I need heavy-thick texture moisturizer, tapi dengan kandungan yang tepat buat memperbaiki skin barrier. Setelah liat page Sociolla.com beberapa hari, pilhanku jatuh pada COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream ini. Moisturizer ini bener-bener nggak neko-neko dan gimmick-ish gitu, straight-forward untuk melembapkan kulit karena ada kandungan Hyaluronid sebagai bahan utamanya. Inilah key ingredients yang ada: - Glycerin : salah satu kandungan yang memang baik untuk melembapkan kulitmu yang berguna untuk menjaga lipid kulit di antara sel-sel kulit kita dalam keadaan sehat, melindungi dari iritasi, membantu memulihkan/menguatkan skin barrier. - Sodium Hyaluronate : Merupakan turunan Hyaluronic Acid yang memiliki 'partikel' lebih kecil jadi bisa masuk ke kulit lebih mudah. - Arginine : Semi-essential dari as...

Apa yang Lucu dari Pelecehan Seksual?

Sumber gambar:  https://relationship.popbela.com/single/dinalathifa/pelecehan-seksual-2 Saya mendapatkan pelecehan seksual sejak saya duduk di bangku sekolah dasar. Sekolah saya merupakan sekolah yang religius, membawa nama salah satu agama di sini. Tidak ada yang namanya aurat--yang selama ini disalahkan--terdapat di sana. (Pada saat itu) pasti tidak pernah terpikir untuk mendapatkan pelecehan dalam bentuk apapun, tapi teman laki-laki saya berkali-kali mencoba membuka rok saya secara paksa, tanpa consent saya. Lalu saya-lah yang merasa malu dengan perlakuan mereka. Sementara mereka? Tertawa, seakan pelecehan ini lelucon belaka. Menginjak semasa SMA, pelecehan seksual rupanya tidak berhenti begitu saja. Tak terhitung berapa kali merasa tidak nyaman ketika teman laki-laki saya bersorak ketika saya lewat, kadang sendiri atau bersama teman, terkadang juga meneriaki kata-kata yang membuat tidak nyaman. Saya menunduk malu dan takut. Sementara mereka? Tertawa. "Ini kan cuma lel...

Look a little different than you are used to? Why not? Well, actually I want to try a little thing which is I never do before. A little changes on my style, a little sense of boyish. Now I just wanna think like a boy with their paradigm about girls. Sometimes women want to be understood in a way that is difficult to understand way by men, well c’mon girls!  Boys aren't a gypsy who knows everything on you mind. The boys need you to speak up what you want and don’t. But, the girls think that the boy must be known about every code that girls gave. When the boys said “umm, I think you need to changes you attitude about….” Don’t be mad at him immediately, they said like actually for your own good. He won’t you are mocked by the other people. So, the girls must think about the boy’s suggestion. If it can changes you into the better one, why not? But for girl, if your boy too depresses you for become the other one, you have to be careful! The boys prefer choose a girl with a ...
