As simply as that

If you fall in love with me
You don't need to take me away to the city
You don't need to take me away to watch the lastest movie in the cinema
You don't need to give me luxury things
You don't need to do it all
Not because I don't want to
But because I know, it's useless
I can't be fully happy with all of that
For years I lost myself
Then,
over years I have also learned to understand, love, and accept myself; as I am
And all that did not end in vain
I found what I was looking for; my true self
I understand now
I am happier if you take me for a walk in the park or in the forest
I am happier if you take me to see the sunrise and sunset
I am happier with simple, sincere things
Because that's what makes me feel really happy
So, if you fall in love with me
Please don't take me away to the city

Ia sibuk memperbaiki hatinya yang sudah hancur menjadi potongan-potongan kecil. Satu  demi satu ia rangkai potongan itu. Lalu, ia menempelkannya dengan lem yang kuat agar tak ada yang terpisah lagi. Kini hatinya tertutup rapat Tak ada satupun celah yang ia sisakan Tak ada yang bisa masuk Aku kira sumpahnya itu hanya main-main saja. Tapi ternyata, ia bersungguh-sungguh. Setiap kali ada laki-laki yang ingin mendekat dan tanpa pikir panjang, ia langsung menjauh seperti ujung utara dan selatan magnet. Jangan tanya rupa perempuan itu...

Feminisme: Definisi dan Tipe

Hai! Kali ini aku ingin membahas sesuatu yang agak berat. Hmm tentang sebuah paham yang akhir-akhir ini sedang ramai diperbincangkan dan yang katanya isinya perempuan semua (masa sih?). Apa hayoo? Yup! Jawabannya adalah feminisme. Mungkin kalian pernah mendengar tentang paham ini atau mungkin kalian sama sekali gak tahu dan bertanya-tanya apa sih feminisme itu. Oke, dengan pengetahuan yang aku dapatkan dari berbagai referensi buku, video, orang, dll, mari kita bahas apa itu feminisme. Menurut June Hannam di dalam buku Feminism, kata feminisme bisa diartikan sebagai: 1. A recognition of an imbalance of power between the sexes, with woman in a subordinate role to men. 2. A belief that woman condition is  social constructed and therefore can be changed. 3. An emphasis on female autonomy. Singkatnya, feminisme adalah sebuah paham yang muncul ketika perempuan menuntut untuk mendapatkan kesetaraan hak (sosial, politik, dan ekonomi) yang sama dengan laki-laki . Selanjutn...
