Beberapa hari yang lalu di saat saya sedang suntuk dengan kerjaan, saya iseng-iseng blogging. Buka dari link teman, kemudian ke link temannya teman, sampai akhirnya berhenti di Tumblr-nya Sadgenic by Rahne Putri.
Saya tau profilnya dari novel adek saya. Dan pada saat pertama kali saya baca, isinya seperti curhatan. Bait-bait kalimat pendek. Dan isinya tentang cinta. Seperti kumpulan puisi.
Dan pada saat saya membuka Tumblr-nya, saya menemukan sebuah tulisan yang membuat saya tertarik. Sepertinya Rahne Putri juga me-reblog dari salah satu temannya.
Tulisannya berisi cerita tentang seorang gadis yang suka bepergian/travelling. Bagaimana dia melihat dunia, bagaimana dia menikmati dunia, bahwa dia lebih suka mengumpulkan uang untuk bepergian daripada membeli baju-baju mewah. Dan saya seperti melihat diri saya. Banyak pernyataan-pernyataan yang mirip seperti saya.
Well, silahkan dibaca. Saya copy-kan disini untuk kalian baca :)
Enjoy!
Date a Girl Who Travel
by: nayamoeda
Date a girl who travels. Date a girl who spends her money on a summer road trip instead of fancy dresses. She
lives her life adventurously, without fear; and both of you will live
your love life as if you’re on a lazy vacation. No drama.
Date a girl who travels. She is not the one who
spends hours putting on her make up, but she has touched a deeper layer
of her femininity that penetrates through every orifice of her life
which makes her beautiful even when she’s not paying attention.
Find a girl who travels. You may easily recognize
her by the stuffs she always carries. You may find coins instead of
mascara in her pouch. She will always have a city map, a journal and
pens in her bag. Whenever she goes, she’s ready to get lost. You start
to recognize that her skin is getting darker? Yes, she’s
not afraid of sun exposure. She paddles down the river with her canoe
during the whole day, absorbed in the moment, flowing passionately.
You can try to let her down. But
she has learned to toughen up on her way back home from jungle, there
is nothing you can say to let her down as she has gotten thrown into the
craziness of this world. She is all tough on the outside, but inside she’s gentle and calm.
You can try to approach her. But
she won’t take an easy road. She will scan you, but she doesn’t play
hard to get, she just chooses to take a longer path that seems like a
magical travel through a sunlit tunnel in Hawaii. It would be a
thrilling adventure, and at the end of the path lies all of the treasure
you have been searching for. You just have to be patient.
Date a girl who travels. She sees the hidden beauty in everything. When
you are with her, you will realize that even though she has impulsively
survived winter storm in Northern Ontario just to see the Aurora
Borealis, strolled around Hanoi going down all the way to Saigon,
enjoyed the medieval atmosphere of Antwerp, and there was nothing like a
marshmallow ice cream for her to combat the beating Istanbul’s sun; at
the end of the day she will try to find her way home. Let her know that you’re her home. If
you’re lucky, she will be comfortable around you, being around you
feels like she is home in a way that she has never felt when she’s on
the road.
When she is busy and has a tight schedule during weekdays, ask her to go camping in the backyard during weekend. Then
try stargazing with her under the moonlit beside a small bonfire, she
will show you that Cassiopeia is not hard to spot among the stars and
constellations. She loves to explore the night sky as much as she loves to explore new places. Secure
and lead her, she needs your guidance. Act as if you’re the North Star
who always leads her home. Ask her if she can show you Cepheus. She might just give you a little grin since she is not sure enough. Ask her if she wants to name her future child Andromeda.
It’s easy to date a girl who travels. You
just have to be you, as she will take you as who you are. She
appreciates honesty as nature taught her so, she is original, and she
talks to you without any persona or agenda. She has the
guts to tell you everything with fearlessness, no arguing, no fighting;
just a simple free flow of speech without worry of what will be
said—just communion, just intimacy. She will appreciate your wit and
sense of humor even if you have always felt that nobody really
understand your humor, but she is the one who will laugh with you. For her, life is not about holding on. It’s about living, loving, laughing, and leaving.
If you find a girl who travels, keep
her. If she says she loves you, no matter how far you are apart she will
always come back to you, her home. She’s the one who writes a love letter for you a day before your departure to go somewhere across the sea with Frank Sinatra’s “I Wish You Love” song
lyrics in it, or better, she will invite you to join her trip. Go with
her. Then later on your trip, you will find out that her adventurous
spirit is worth fighting for.
Find a girl who travels. It is very predictable
that one day you will decide to spend the rest of your life with her.
Marry her, you will realize your heart stops to wander.
