“You’ll have good days, bad days, overwhelming days, too tired days, “I’m awesome” days, “I can’t go on” days, and every day you’ll still show up.”
Di keheningan malam menjelang jarum jam perlahan bergeser ke tepat pukul 12.00, terlihat gemintang-gemintang bertengger dengan anggun di langit Manchester seolah-olah merayakan perjalanan waktu yang tak terelakkan. Bulan purnama tergantung di sana, memancarkan sinarnya yang lembut.
Saya dan Arsyl sedang duduk di atas meja tepat menghadap jendela besar di public kitchen yang berada di lantai 15. Terpampang jelas di hadapan kami City of Manchester stadium yang terlihat diselimuti kemilau pendaran cahaya dari langit.
“Arsyl, detik ini tepat setahun saya merasakan kehangatan Chinese new year bersama housemate saya di Leeds. Sangat unforgettable.”
“Bukankah sewaktu kuliah di sana kamu pernah di rampok hingga ditendang dan terseret hingga berlumuran darah di pinggir jalan ?”Arsyl terpana.
“Yes, jika teringat kembali moment mengerikan itu, memang bukan hari yang memberikan happiness. Namun secara keseluruhan, moment di Leeds sangatlah memorable.” Saya mengucapkan perlahan dan terasa ada pancaran kehangatan di dada saat mengucapkan kata Leeds.
Dear me, remember that every day in your life brings its own uniqueness. Some days offer more happiness than others, but each contributes to your journey, fostering growth and improvement.
Oh well, when I encounter a challenging day, it’s easy to feel disheartened, perceiving difficulties as obstacles. Yet, overcoming these tough times often reveals my resilience and making the journey more enjoyable.
Saya harus selalu ingat bahwa tak seharusnya the disappointment overshadow any day of my life. The mix of good and challenging days shapes my journey. They add richness to my experiences and emphasize that life is a constant evolution.
“Don’t be discouraged by what happened to you today. Be thankful that you have today to live and tomorrow to try again.”
