God believer

Rasanya gw berhutang sama seorang teman. Sekian lama saling menghilang, tiba2 ia muncul di dunia maya dan memberi testimony yang terlalu tinggi buat saya. He called me a true good believer. Oh man, I suddenly got a guilty feeling when I read his testimony.

Hidup gw kayak roller coaster. Kadang di atas, saat gw merasa bisa melakukan apa pun yang gw mau, abis itu terjun bebas dan gw gak bisa ngapa2in, cuman njerit dan berharap semua segera berubah. Di roller coaster itu, kita nggak bisa ngapa2in selain percaya bahwa semuanya berjalan dengan baik dan nggak ada yang salah, thus kita akan baik2 aja.

Yang bikin gw guilty feeling, gw ngerasa hidup gw jauh dari gambaran yang diberikan temen gw, terutama belakangan ini. Gw apatis, gw sering maki2 Tuhan. Gw - b u k a n - a true God believer.

Tadi gw baca e-mail dari seorang kawan, dia bilang gini tentang katolikisme - Harus kuat dalam religiositas, berwawasan luas, pinter berargumen (nulis, etc), dan tidak boleh tinggal dalam menara gading. Gw setuju sama dia. Yet, I am far from that.

Duh, gw ngomong apa sih ini. Loncat2 nggak karuan.

The emotional toll that we have been experiencing since March is real. Everything that we used to take for granted, like meeting up with friends, birthday parties, kids activities, traveling, the convenience of doing grocery shopping anytime we want, a lot of them have been taken away from us, from my family. No more parties, no more lunch or dinner with friends, no more invitation for birthday parties, no more traveling. Perhaps my life had become too easy before the pandemic. We had to switch Nathaniel from a brick and mortar school to a cyber school. I tried to plan my grocery trips ahead of time to avoid crowds. We had to wear masks everywhere. But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...
All of a sudden my thoughts fly to my old friends tonight. How are they all doing? I miss the good old days. I am here, content and happy, but somehow I still miss them. People come and go in your life, but true friends remain in the heart, no matter where they are now, right :) ?
