It's About How You Rise Again

The one who taught me to always rise again. Gue ngerasa kadang dalam hidup ada masa di mana gue pengen banget punya kehidupan kayak rangorang di luar sana. Hidup yang…intinya sih bukan kayak apa yang gue punya sekarang, misalnya. Ngerasa hidup orang laen terlihat lebih enak, lebih baik, lebih nyaman. Kenapa? Sebab biasanya saat itu gue ngerasa hidup gue lagi “di bawah”. Semacam lagi pait, gitulah. Bahkan kadang, gue ngerasa diri gue lagi “ujian kenaikan kelas”.
