Welcome to Wonderland




“Nothing around here is quite as it seems
Not sure if anything's real or a dream
And the only thing sure from the start
Is the song that's inside of your heart
Don't let it leave”
Welcome to wonderland – Anson Seabra

          The “wonderland” that I’ll be talking in this script is about the wonderland of your dreams. My junior once asked me about my writings, “Where did you get your inspiration? How can you make such writings, a lot of them, even, in a brief period of time?” And I replied, “I get my inspiration from anything, from anywhere. It could be from my own past experiences, some words in a book that I like, a fraction of lyrics, movies or anything. And believe me, the more books that you have read, more movies that you've watched, more writings that you’ve done, and many songs that you've listened to will contribute to your ideas, it will makes your words flow like a river. Instantly.”

          It’s true. I often do that. I listened to a song, I conversed with my friends, and suddenly an idea popped in my head. Things get better if I write all of that down right away, though. But if it’s not, the idea will come back to me sooner or later, it always does. But one thing that I must do is I have to write that idea down, so I have the gist of what I want to write, at the very least. I can always develop and finish that idea later.

          Like Anson Seabra said on his “Welcome to Wonderland” that the only thing that is sure from the beginning is the song that you have inside of your heart, you should never let it fade away, ever. Hold your dream real tight, in your heart, and never let it go. No matter how dumb or how weird your dream might sound. I have a dream for my blog to be published in the form of a book, honestly. I have that one specific big dream in my heart, and I hold it close to me.

          So, welcome to wonderland! The place where you’ll find your wildest, most discrete, most joyful dream ever. May you have the best time of your life! And remember, everyone that leaves has a heavy heart. O Wonderland, I love.

    "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claw that catch."

    My mind is full of 'beware' Nan, sometimes it's become out of control somehow 😅.
    In my most 'Jabberwock' moment, I sublimate, I do journaling too.

    "One two! one two! And through and through.
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!"
    Typing or writing, my pen or qwerty is my 'vorpal blade', 'snicker-snacking' my own evil.

    "He left it dead, and with its head.
    He went galumphing back."
    After finish and reread, dayum, that's a lot of 'blood' there, I learn a lot by your writing, especially the neutrality, mine is so much affect dominant and unfeasible by public.

    Keep it going, chase your dream Nan!

The Family Who Read

         I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books.           So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...

Label-free

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart...

Fly

You can still fly when your wings are clipped, right? Yes, it might be hard. And yes, you will stumble, oh you will even fall. But that doesn’t mean you can’t. It just means that you have to find some other ways to fly. So I watch “The Unbreakable Boy” yesterday and the movie brought me to tears. Such unbelievably good children with great parent. The movie is bare, very full of trust; vulnerabilities, strengths, and heart warming emotions that is very beautifully portrayed throughout of it. It’s from the same director Auggie in “Wonder” but in this one, the main character is Auzman. Auzman is a little kid with OI (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) and autism. And being a little kid, he sometimes wants to be as strong as his brother but his bones never allowed him to do so. So over the years, he become strong on something else instead. He become the mascott of his school. Someone that brings joy and light to everybody he passes by. Auzman sees the best in everyone, even the school bully. He shin...
