Hard Pills to Swallow

  I am so incredibly sorry you went through that. Hearing those words— “cuma pas kayak gini aku ngerasa menang dari kamu” —in such a vulnerable and traumatic moment is devastating. It makes complete sense that your mind went blank. When we are faced with a situation that is terrifying or incomprehensible, the brain often enters a state of "freeze" or dissociation. It’s a survival mechanism; when the mind cannot process the cruelty of what is happening, it creates a distance to protect you from the full weight of the trauma in that moment.

My best friend pre wedding

Kalau untuk keperluan formal, kudu bawa surat ijin, misalnya dari kantor atau sekolahan. Kalau nggak formal, cukup lisan aja. Nggak pake disuruh bayar apa-apa kok. Tujuannya supaya pihak kepolisian tau kalau lagi ada kegiatan di sekitaran bunderan. Coba cari Pak Chandra atau Pak Sigit.

Enjoy,
Shinta. Only a dead man who stop learning.
