Prologue: The Other Girl

Have you ever took a moment to see what yourself in the internet? In other words, googled your own name to see what you've actually done.

I could find my social medias, from Facebook, Instagram, even LinkedIn. When I look into social media, example: Instagram, feel like I met such a cheerful, beautiful, talented young lady. Girl in the pictures looks perfectly fine, in her cute outfit and poses. Her writings can be positive, sometimes melancholic.

I clearly understand about internet persona, 'someone'--maybe it just us, or the other 'person' that we created in internet. We tend to be the best version of ourselves, and portrayed our life as perfect as possible. In other words, we can be anyone and anything in the internet.

I met someone from the internet, he said once, "You don't took like the one that I saw on Instagram" these words honestly slapped me really hard.

And I asked myself,

is she really me?

am I fake?

That cheerful girl that you saw in the internet, it just me. I may not always have a good time, so I won't be able to smile all the day. I'm the one who decided to post something on social medias.

I took a moment to think about what I've posted, about copywriting, pictures itself, everything.

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...

When I Were a Boy

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.

The boys prefer choose a girl with a ...
