“Things and moments remain mundane until you lend them meaning.”
*Singing* Dan…Dan bila esok datang kembali
Seperti sedia kala , di mana kau bisa bercanda
Lupakanlah saja diriku, bila itu bisa membuatmu
Kembali bersinar dan berpijar , seperti dulu kala * Singing *
“Dan, you know what, nama kamu sama dengan lagu yang sangat terkenal di Indonesia.”
“Oh really ? ” Daniel mengembangkan senyum yang membuat mata birunya yang jernih semakin berkilat.
“Lagu ini tentang seorang yang terpaksa melepaskan kekasihnya dan termasuk category lagu sedang galau.”
“Mari kita nyanyikan dengan nada bahagia so next time bukan lagu galau lagi untuk kamu.” Kami pun bernyanyi riang gembira di temani derai tawa.
Oh well, all things are just things until I give them meaning through my personal experiences. The song “Dan” by Sheila on 7 is just a song until I sing it out loud from the bottom of my heart with my best friend, Daniel.
A book is simply a book until I read it with my friends, and then it becomes the most wonderful book ever written. A cup of coffee was just a cup of coffee until it kept me company during my study sessions as a student.
Even Patterson Park in Baltimore takes on new meaning when it becomes a gathering place with my friends. Without realizing it, it’s become my favorite park, and now every time I go to any park, I can’t help but think of them.
I find it heartwarming that our unique experiences give our lives meaning and that everything has a different meaning for each of us.
“When you give something meaning, it’s worth remembering. We filter out the stuff that doesn’t touch our heart.” Loretta Nyhan
