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. Understanding the Language of Power The phrase he used is deeply revealing, though painful to revisit. It suggests that: It was about control, not intimacy: By saying he felt he was "winning," he framed the assault as a power struggle.

Mid day at MidTown Owl

Gue selalu menyesali keputusan nggak bawa kamera. Karena gue nggak pernah mengira akan duduk-duduk nikmat di sebuah restoran cantik di tengah gedung-gedung tinggi Central Park.

Tapi, kalau lo pencinta nachos seperti halnya gue, lebih baik jangan pesan nachos di sini. Sedangkan orange squash dan mocha milkshake-nya wajib dicoba. Menu sarapan juga pas di perut. Lalu seperti semua tempat makan di Jakarta, kita bisa membeli suasana yang nggak bisa kita dapatkan di rumah. Atau kantor. Kabarnya, kalau malam tempat ini lebih rame. Yang pasti gue suka ruangan dengan banyak jendela kaca. Hemat biaya lampu dan nggak membuat gue merasa klaustrafobia.

Playlistnya menggetarkan hati. Dari Coldplay ke John Mayer. Deretan boyband 90-an. Sekarang bahkan memutar Matchbox Twenty. I definitely will coming back. Seriusan, pilihan lagu di sini oke banget. Saking okenya, bahkan membuat gue memutuskan untuk menelepon si manusia super. Cuma untuk mendengar jawaban 'mmm', 'heeh', 'iya', 'ngga'. Bukannya gue nggak menduga itu.

Udah lama nggak nemu restoran yang bikin gue betah berlama-lama. Mungkin lain kali gue akan kembali ditemani kamera. Meskipun, makanan nggak memuaskan hasrast gue. melainkan atmosfer yang ditawarkan Midtown Owl.
