Pernah gak, kita mendengar orang tua yang mengulang-ulang cerita sampai kita bosan mendengarnya?
Ada gak, cerita orang tua yang saking seringnya diceritakan, kita jadi hafal kaya gimana ceritanya?
Perhatiin gak, ekspresi dan intonasi mereka saat bercerita?
I feel that I'm them now, or I just realize that I actually have done the same for all this time, perhaps?
Lately, I dreamed about being abroad, to Germany and London. I knew it was a dream, yet it felt so d*mn real. The smell, the weather, the environment, everything. I knew it was a dream and I tried to do what I wanna do. As simply as taking a photo, but I couldn't. I knew it was a dream, then I woke up. I'm happy dreaming about it, yet I realize, it's just a dream. All the feelings are just memories of me experiencing going abroad.
Temen-temen di program ICYEP sebut hal ini dengan program sick. Kebayang gak se-excited apa ketika kita punya kenangan (whether it's good or not) dan kita menceritakan kembali kenangan itu? Apalagi kalau lawan bicara kita sefrekuensi, dalam artian mereka juga mengalami hal tersebut. We may talk for hours.
So, it could be the reason why we keep telling the same story. I've been in that moment, the memory is soooo precious that makes me wanna share, again and again.
I could feel the cold of the rain in Vancouver. I could feel the breeze in Banff. I have nothing more to say for Camrose. I feel so lucky to experience it all.
Rasanya, bercerita adalah cara terbaik untuk menghadirkan kembali memori itu di kehidupan saat ini. We may not turn back time nor redo the same thing, we are just happy or trying to release the burden by telling it. That's why, if you pay attention to whom telling the stories, they can talk nineteen to the dozen, with those sparkling eyes.
Ternyata ini yang mereka rasakan saat bercerita tentang masa mudanya dulu, tentang pengalaman pahitnya hidup, tentang hal remeh temeh yang nyatanya membekas pada ingatannya. Bukan, mereka bukan mau sombong kalau mereka pernah ngalamin itu semua. Bukan mau pamer kalau hidup di zamannya lebih menarik dari hidupmu. Mereka hanya butuh didengar untuk merasakan kembali saat-saat itu.
We may not take any part in their stories, but it's such a relief to have someone who willingly listen to it.
