Way Back Into Love

Way Back Into Love
Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore
From Music and Lyrics The Movie
Lyrics from azlyrics.com (link)



[Verse 1]
[Drew Barrymore:]
I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!

[Hugh Grant:]
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need 'em again someday,
I've been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

[Chorus]
[Both:]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
Ooo hooow

[Verse 2]
[Drew Barrymore:]
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere!

[Hugh Grant:]
I've been looking for someone to shed some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.

[Chorus]
[Both:]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
And if I open my heart again,
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end!

[Middle-eight]
[Drew Barrymore:]
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

[Chorus]
[Both:]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end!

Another One Third Has Passed (2)

So if you knew, with indisputable certainty, that love was never going to be yours, how would you live your life differently? What about your daily routine would you alter? What about your long-term plans?

Your first inclination may be to say "Nothing." After all, you’re a smart person. You have plans that don’t involve someone else’s influence.

The idea that someday somebody will love all our flaws is a subtle excuse not to work on them. The principle of two halves making a whole restrains us from becoming our own better half. We want someone to swoop in during our darkest hour and save us, but what if we knew they never would? We’d have to start doing everything differently.

If you knew that love would never be an option for you, what would be? How would you structure the rest of your life? Would it have a heavier focus on career, a stronger inclination toward success? Or would you use the time to invest in yourself — go on a few more vacations, travel further outside your comfort zone? If you knew that you would never again feel the rush of budding romance, where would you turn to for your thrills? How would you get your blood pumping?

And what about your other relationships — would they suddenly take on more weight? Would you spend more time appreciating your family, if you knew that they are the people who will have loved you the most strongly at the end of your life? What about your friendships? Would you nurture and care more for the people who love you platonically if you knew that nobody would ever love you romantically? Would you show up a little more often, share a little more of your life?

Without the fear of ending up alone, the opportunities open to you would become endless. You could live on every continent. You could scale the corporate ladder. You could go back to school and get that degree you’ve always felt interested in, without worrying about the financial burden your debt may place on somebody else. Love holds us back in an infinite amount of subtle ways that perhaps we do not even realize. And the guarantee of its absence may just be the ultimate sense of liberation.

Because if we didn’t have to search for the love of our lives, we would finally be free to realize that we are allowed to be the loves of our own. That we can spend our lives developing ourselves, challenging ourselves, pampering ourselves and building ourselves up to be bigger, more capable people than we ever once hoped to become. We could become everything we’ve been searching for. We could construct our soul mates in ourselves.

If there’s one thing we all need to stop doing, it’s waiting around for someone else to show up and change our lives. Just be the person you’ve been waiting for. Live your life as if you are the love of it. Because that’s the only thing you know for sure — that through every triumph, every failure, every fear and every gain that you will ever experience until the day you die, you are going to be present.

You are going to be the person who shows up to accept your rewards. You are going to be the person who holds your own hand when you’re broken. You are going to be the person who gets yourself up off the floor every time you get knocked down and if those things are not love-of-your-life qualities, I don’t know what are.

We have to start appreciating all that we bring to our own lives. Because the ironic truth is, you are most attractive when you’re not worried about who you’re attracting.

So stop looking for The One to spend the rest of your life with. Be The One.

From "Think About This if You're Worried That You Might Never Find 'The One'" (link)

That is more important.

Alfred: I'll get this to Mr. Fox, but no more. I've sewn you up, I've set your bones, but I won't bury you. I've buried enough members of the Wayne family. 

Bruce Wayne: You'll leave me? 

Alfred: You see only one end to your journey. Leaving is all I have to make you understand, you're not Batman anymore. You have to find another way. You used to talk about finishing a life beyond that awful cape. 

Bruce Wayne: Rachel died believing that we would be together; that was my life beyond the cape. I can't just move on. She didn't, she couldn't. 

Alfred: What if she had? What if, before she died, she wrote a letter saying she chose Harvey Dent over you? And what if, to spare your pain, I burnt that letter? 

Bruce Wayne: How dare you use Rachel to try to stop me? 

Alfred: I am using the truth, Master Wayne. Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day. I'm sorry. 

Bruce Wayne: You're sorry? You expect to destroy my world and then think we're going to shake hands? 

Alfred: No... no, I know what this means. 

Bruce Wayne: What does it mean? 

Alfred: It means your hatred... and it also means losing someone that I have cared for since I first heard his cries echo through this house. But it might also mean saving your life. And that is more important. 

Bruce Wayne: Goodbye, Alfred.

Curhat Buat Sahabat

Curhat Buat Sahabat
By Dee Lestari
Dari buku Rectoverso




Sahabatku, usai tawa ini
Izinkan aku bercerita:

Telah jauh, ku mendaki 
Sesak udara di atas puncak khayalan 
Jangan sampai kau di sana

Telah jauh, ku terjatuh 
Pedihnya luka di dasar jurang kecewa
Dan kini sampailah, aku di sini...

Yang cuma ingin diam, duduk di tempatku
Menanti seorang yang biasa saja
Segelas air di tangannya, kala kuterbaring... sakit

Yang sudi dekat, mendekap tanganku 
Mencari teduhnya dalam mataku
Dan berbisik : "Pandang aku, kau tak sendiri,oh dewiku..."
Dan demi Tuhan, hanya itulah yang 
Itu saja kuinginkan

Sahabatku, bukan maksud hati membebani, 
Tetapi...

Telah lama, kumenanti 
Satu malam sunyi untuk kuakhiri
Dan usai tangis ini, aku kan berjanji...

Untuk diam, duduk di tempatku
Menanti seorang yang biasa saja
Segelas air di tangannya, kala kuterbaring... sakit

Menentang malam, tanpa bimbang lagi
Demi satu dewi yang lelah bermimpi
Dan berbisik : "Selamat tidur, tak perlu bermimpi bersamaku..."

Wahai Tuhan, jangan bilang lagi itu terlalu tinggi

Tanggal Rilis The Incredibles 2 dan Toy Story 4 + Vans X Toy Story

Setelah ada yang membagikan tautan di facebook tentang tanggal rilis film The Incredibles 2 dan Toy Story 4, saya menjadi bernostalgia kembali tentang kedua film tersebut.

Pengalaman Pertama Donor Darah

Salah satu hal yang belum pernah seumur hidup saya lakukan, akhirnya kesampaian juga!

Akibat kejadian waktu sd di mana saya mau disuntik ambil darah, saya melihat dengan jelas bagaimana si jarum menempel ke kulit saya, lalu saya (dengan bodohnya) malah refleks menarik tangan saya, yang menyebabkan tangan saya luka tergores (nggak dalem, tergores biasa saja) dan saya menangis kejer. Itu kejadiannya lagi di bulan puasa. Akhirnya supaya saya diam, ibu saya membelikan saya minuman dingin. Batal deh puasanya, haha.

Selanjutnya setiap ada kata-kata donor darah, saya jadi teringat terus dengan memori itu. Apalagi ada yang bilang bahwa setelah donor darah, tubuh kita akan lemas sesudahnya. Padahal jarak waktu antara satu donor dan donor lainnya itu 3 bulan. Masa saya lemes 3 bulan gimana dongg?? Pikir saya yang superawam tentang dunia perdonoran darah hahah :"D
