Who?
A breathing meat.
Why?
Some breathing meat lucky enough to understand their purpose of existence. But most of the meats have no idea why they exist in the universe. The meat who knows and the meat who doesn’t know experience the same pain, uncertainty, and heartbreak, but have different points of view on everything.
Where?
Under the sky. On the soil. Between the air and the sea. In the arms of people who treat you badly.
What?
Something you don’t know and something you know. If you’re lucky you’ll find the answer but other questions will come to you soon after that.
When?
Not today.

Buku kedua Lala Bohang yang saya baca setelah The Book of Forbidden Feelings. Lighter dibanding buku pertamanya. Berhasil saya tuntaskan dalam dua jam tanpa pikir panjang, setelah memberi sebuah keputusan cukup penting.
"Life is not that easy.
It's never easy.
It's the same for everyone." - page 15
It is a also poetry book like before, but with blue illustrations. Sebagian besar sajak diawali sebuah pertanyaan yang akan mengajakmu berpikir sejenak.
"How to accept everything just as it is?If I can, I'd like to be invisible. Haha. Let's laugh at ourselves. Disappear from every awkward situation.
Shut down your brain
Turn off your heart
Close your eyes
Be invisible" - page 21
"What is letting go?Pardon me who don't really understand the long kind of conversation or poems on this book. Maybe I will re-read it if I have a plenty of time.
Imagine yourself taking off your
heavy backpack after a long day.
That's what letting go is about." - page 66
"Human: a statue of memories." - page 77
"What is your strongest talent?
Self-doubt." - page 85
Terjebak dengan keraguan atas diri sendiri. Entah siapa yang berhasil menggerakkan. Entah kapan berani mengambil tanggung jawab.
"Aren't we all just compilations of all of our good and bad decisions?" - page 142
