It Is a Long Journey

What do you think about this pict?. 

This evening when I played billiard with friends, we overhear a song by Peterpan with title ‘Semua Tentang Kita’ from sound system. Actually I flow with the sounding song. Peterpan is one of my favorite pop bands and I love their entire songs. The sounding song represents me inside now, where for the moment is my last time enjoying Salatiga with its properties. There are academic field, love, friends, family and its night life. It is hard to say that I’ll leave them all soon. ‘Semua Tentang Kita’ becomes one a in good miscellanea; become parts of our whole life.

All about us in this small town (Salatiga) would never finish telling exactly. I’ll smile by my self while try to remember the beautiful moment. Try to remember when I introduced my self first time with peoples, go with them and finally I’ll leave them all. That is a life, there is a companionship and there must be a leaving. But I think, as long as we are alive, there is no ceasing. There’s always a condition that makes us go straight. The beginning is the time when we were born to the world, and than we go on with the whole life. Likewise our social process, we know the companionship and leaving. They are parts of life journey.

So, the meaning is... it shouldn’t hard to say good bye, isn’t it? I’ll say “Yap”. But unhappily I lie answer the question; in same time I’ll say “it’s hard to say good bye”. Why do I say that? Find the reason your self :)).

Almost five years I have stayed in this small town. There must be a lot of things which hard to leave insignificantly. Feels want to live here forever but that commitment must be crosscheck with the commitment when I came here first time. I came here to study in UKSW and fortunately the university is in this town. Five years is a long period time for me to stay here and I feel had new family here. They are so friendly to make a friendship. Everyone like public society, collegiate and lecturers. There is no awkward to make friends with them. Those things make me hard to say “good bye”.

I realized that the life is an adventure. All of the entire process of life is an unfinished adventure. The experience in sharing with the people in this small town is just a part from the entire adventure and actually the adventure is going on. There must no ‘give up’ in an adventure because ‘give up’ only for losers. We should prove our knight fire and die hard. The knight of life exactly.

Our journey is still far away. I’m young and you’re too. There are many challenges in front of us and all of them need our dare and spirit to pass trough. The whole of life will be beautiful if we run it well. It’ll be meaningful if we honor it. There is a leaving is not mean that there is no time to see again. The leaving is just for a while; in the nick of time we will meet with again. If we were mate, we must be met soon. So, be seeing you soon.
