Apakah Kamu Bahagia? Jika kita ditanya “apakah kita bahagia?” apa yang akan kita jawab dan bagaimana kita menjawabnya? Apa sih bahagia itu? Pasti masing-masing orang punya pendapat masing2x, ada yang bilang gue bahagia kalo punya rumah gede, mobil mewah dan uang yang banyak. Ada yang bilang juga, gue bahagia kalo punya anak banyak, dipuja banyak orang dan lain sebagainya. happy Kesimpulannya sih rata-rata dari kita mendefinisikan bahagia adalah perasaan pada saat kita mendapatkan atau mencapai sesuatu, dan itu dikatakan sukses. Jika kita masih mengartikan kebahagiaan seperti ini, yang terjadi adalah saat ini kita pasti sedang tidak bahagia, karena pasti saat ini kita sedang mengharapkan sesuatu yang nantinya akan membuat kita bahagia.

Seperempat abad sudah lewat kegamangan akan jodoh pun kian memudar. wakakak dulu saya masih inget pengen banget nikah pas usia 24 tahun dan usia 25 sudah punya bayi. Tapi ternyata semua rencana meleset. Sekarang kalo ajang reunian sama temen deket pas SMP atau SMA udah bawa buntut masing-masing ada yang anaknya udah 2 tahun, masih bayi, atau lagi hamil, dan udah menikah tapi belum dikaruniai anak. Dan saya masih asik dengan kesendirian. Syeileh maafkan curhat. Pada awalnya sih ketar-ketir sendiri duh apa yang salah dengan diri ini,apa saking gak lakunya gak ada yang mau nikahin saya. Apa yang kurang ya? Banyak pertanyaan yang akhirnya berkecamuk dalam diri sendiri. Ini lah itu lah,anu lah. Dan pada akhirnya iya sih capek sendiri.
