Many directors are transforming novel into film. Novel and film are two different things in terms of storytelling and the used media to deliver it. Film and novel use materially different ways to describe the world or to express a point of view.

Dari Insecure sampai Bersyukur: Sebuah Perjalanan Self-Love

Gambar
Dari kecil sampai umurku menuju seperempat abad ini, aku sering banget dengar frasa love yourself , accept yourself , believe yourself bahkan sekarang sangat familiar dengan gerakan self-love.

(thinking about title)

I remember the first time we met the way you walked the way you talked the way you told your jokes the way you made me laugh the way you laughed your eyes, your eyebrows, your mustache, your lips the way you smiled to me for the first time how adorable it was. I thought about how could you fall in love with me and me too we fall in a field of beautiful daisy. I love you I do I always do but you did. I love the way you hold my hand tightly like you will hold it as long as the world exist but no longer now. I love the way you kiss me in forehead even it for the last or least.

You and Me VS The World, No More.

We hurt each other even in silent. We don’t need to say the words, our eyes were filled with pain already. Maybe it was love. Maybe it was lust. And maybe what hurt the most was the high expectation. The way we hurt each other just to show how we loved each other was tiring, wasn’t it? Memories fade as time goes by or gone, just like that, with no trace. But we always remember how it hurt. I hurt you. You hurt me more. Then we said goodbye when all we wanted to say was ‘forgive me’.The ego has landed. I wanted to say ‘please stay’ but the words froze in my brain, leave me wondering: what did we do wrong? Maybe you will never know that… I’m falling endlessly. I’m falling hopelessly. You’re not there to catch me. When you hugged me, it felt like I’ll always be alright. Now that you left, it feels like nothing will ever be okay. For example, I can never listen to Michael Buble anymore. His Home hurts too much since you’re not the home anymore. And you know what? I am never alone. Not
