Ada Serigala Betina Dalam Diri Setiap Perempuan by Ester Lianawati

Putri - putriku, Jadilah liar
Kan kuberikan kepada kalian yang ibuku tak mampu berikan
Kan kulimpahkan kepada kalian yang beliau ambil dariku
Kan kusampaikan kepada kalian yang tak diketahui ayahku
Kan kusingkapkan yang beliau coba tutupi
Kan kuizinkan kalian melakukan yang mereka larang dariku
Mengatakan yang mereka tak ingin aku ucapkan
Atas nama cinta dan perlindungan
Berendam dalam derita dan ketidakberdayaan
Dilanggengkan adat dan tradisi


Putri - putriku,
Kaliankan belajar apa itu kehidupan
Keindahan, kekejaman, kemurnian, dan kenyataan
Kan kalian jelajahi semesta megah
Sentuhlah bulan yang berayun di atas gelombang pantai kala malam berbintang


Menyelamlah dalam fyord sambil melewati gua permata
Saksikan burung berlari dengan kura - kura dan orangutan
Pergilah kagumi keindahan bukin Tehuacan


Terbanglah, lepas-bebaskan diri kalian, jangan kalian getar
Alam adalah saudara perempuan kalian,
Belailah air, tataplah langit
Peluklah bumi, biarkan semangat menyala berapi


Cintai tubuh dan hati kalian
Dengarkan insting, jangan ragukan intuisi
Bukalah kotak itu, Pandora - pandoraku
Masuklah dalam ruangan yang dikunci si Janggut Biru
Tak ada yang perlu kalian takutkan selain kenaifan
Kalian adalah serigala betina, Hypatia, prajurit perang, Jenderal Mulan
Kalian adalah perempuan
Tampilkan feminitas kalian yang terliar


Meski untuk itu, maafkanlah ibunda kalian
Memasukkan yang satu dan mengeluarkan yang lain
Dia yang dengannya aku dapat menenun kalian dalam rahimku
Dia yang dapat menjadi kakak laki - lakimu beserta pendahulunya
Maafkan ketidakhadiranku pada beberapa senja di musim panas
Tak menjadi bahagia sebelum memanjakan kalian
Untuk tetap menjadi perempuan setelah menjadi seorang ibu


Terimalah terlebih dahulu kematianku, putri - putriku
Biarkan perempuan tua ini menutup mata
Sebelum kalian menjadi Vasalisa

Have we became the person we wanted to be?

          A painful question lingers in my mind: Why do we keep reviewing our lives and feeling disappointed with certain parts of it? Do you ever wonder how life turned out this way? I can't quite express what I'm trying to convey right now, but what I do know is that at this moment, I'm not the person I wanted to be.           Have I ever become the person I aspired to be? I don't know. But with every step I take, I keep trying. Some parts of my journey may disappoint me, while others might make me proud of myself.         The lingering feelings, the unstable heart. And then comes the next question: Will we ever truly become the person we want to be?           I think we might never reach that point, because as humans, we tend to focus on what we lack in life. It often feels like we are never enough.           But life is a journey, not a des...

Death-Cast

            How to die the right way? The only right answer is always going to be subjective. The way I prefer to die might not be the same as the way you want to die. So, how would you like to die?           If you die due to sickness, it’s going to be a long process. The people you love might have a hard time taking care of you. They might hold onto hope with a little spark of fear at the same time. They might feel thankful for still having you here, even when you can’t do much. At the same time, there’s sadness in seeing you become weak when you used to be so strong. They might wish you the best and, while it's not easy, they might better understand if you leave because seeing you sick and in pain hurts them too.           If your death is sudden, it might feel like thunder on a sunny day. Everything becomes blue and dark suddenly, leaving no time to process. They might be shocked and unabl...

POV

          POV, or Point of View, is a person's opinion or a particular way of thinking about something (this is what I read in the Cambridge Dictionary). Lately, I've been reading a lot of novels, including fanfiction, many of which use multiple POVs. This has piqued my curiosity.           There's a quote from a book I read, "The Laws of Human Nature": "The world simply exists as it is—things or events are not good or bad, right or wrong, ugly or beautiful." That's why everyone has their own view on things; they see the world through different glasses. We've never been objective in seeing things in the first place. Humans are such subjective creatures. "We are all self-absorbed, locked in our own worlds"           Every person is different from each other. Your past shapes your present, and your present shapes your future. Life's struggles can affect two people differently, causing them to think ...
