I only write when I’m falling in love or falling apart, but either way, I’ll always fall. https://medium.com/@cherrypalmskies

  • M. Aan Mansyur

"Akan kuhentikan tahun-tahun diamku demi mengatakan kau cantik. Setelah itu, aku bunuh diri. Atau memintamu jadi seekor gagak yang mematuk mataku. Aku ingin melihat perih terakhir adalah merah paruhmu."

"Kau hanya mampu menghilang jika pergi melampaui dunia sebelum aku mengenalmu."

"Ada Remaja abadi yang tidak kaukenal dalam diriku. Selalu, di museum yang sama, ia seperti patung belum dirampungkan pahat. Ia tak mampu membedakan antara menghadapi lukisan dan berdiri di puncak tebing. Ia menjatuhkan diri ke semesta benda-benda di bingkai ketika belum jadi bangkai atau hantu."

  • Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind (2004)

I'm gonna talk about this movie for the rest of my life. The premises, the story, the idea... I just love all of it. I thought life would be easier if we really have that chance in our life, erasing some parts or someone's presence in our life for easing the pain they caused. But no, those memories made us the kind of person ourselves right now. They have their own part and I remember one saying about we are the combined effort of everyone we've ever known. Oh I also know why Seungcheol loves this movie too.
