things ive been wanting to say.

Love the creepy side of Japan? On the surface, all that people hear about Japan is their rich culture, and how weird some of their customs and inventions are. But aside from that, there is a darker side of Japan, including their unsettling urban legends. From different colored toilet paper to a poem that might curse you, this book will show you many of their urban legends are odd and downright creepy. And trust me, they will also show you yet another example of how weird Japan is. Oh, Japan... how I love you so much. The cover art is by an artist named Takato Yamamoto.

❝ i wished i had said that it was okay to cry, but instead i cried tears for you. ❞

Do you ever forget how to breathe? Like all of the air in your lungs has been snatched and taken away? And you're left struggling, gasping for air? And you think to yourself that if you could just get your head above the water, you could steal some air. But instead, water comes rising in. And the world will tell you that the ocean is your enemy, because in a moment, the current could be ripped from underneath you, and the last thing you'll see is blue. But the salty waves feel too familiar, and you've never felt more at home. It makes your heart long for something you once had. It makes you heart grow wistful at the thought of it. The ocean has never been your enemy, it is your home. And so, you wrap yourself in its cold arms, and you drown yourself in nostalgia. ••• [ a collection of excerpts (from a book i'll never write) ]

Kembali mengingat, I dedicate this for you, because i will go and forget everything about us. "Please be patient and bear with me"

Cemburu itu bikin mules. Mood yang bagus bisa jadi berantakan gara-gara cemburu. Bagi sebagian orang, poto berdua itu wajar, tapi ada juga yang bilang engga wajar. Why? Potonya deket banget, sampai kayak pengen deket-deketan banget. Selain itu, ada pesan-pesan dengan emot 'cium', meskipun becandaan dan katanya atas nama persahabatan, gue pikir semua harus sadar diri deh. Si cewek, yah sadar diri sahabat lo udah punya pasangan. Nah, si cowok, sadar diri, jaga perasaan pasangan lo. Ngerti gak? Tapi, ada yang lebih miris dari cemburu yang pernah dirasain sama tokoh di novel ini. Ketika, dia cemburu, tapi pasangannya bilang hal itu engga penting bagi dia, padahal bagi si tokoh cemburu itu bisa membuat mood nya berantakan seharian dan engga mau ngapa-ngapain, si tokoh lebih tepat kayak zombie. Sakit hati engga lo? Si tokoh sabar loh. Yang lebih sering jadi masalah adalah teman-teman dekat si cowok yang cewek. Si tokoh ngerasa persahabatan mereka harus ada batasnya. Peduli amat dulu mereka sedekat apa, pernah pegangan, boncengan jalan berdua, tapi ketika si cowok udah punya pasangan harusnya sih sadar. But, kita emang engga bisa expect orang untuk paham apa yang kita rasakan. Satu hal yang penting, bahwa menjaga perasaan pasangan itu penting. Ketika sahabat lo mengatakan, "Lo pilih cewek lo apa kita?", mungkin lo bisa pilih cewek lo. Why? This is about priority ketika nanti kalian jadi pasangan. "Jika cemburuku kau anggap tidak penting, maka, rasa yang mengawalinya itu apakah sama sekali tidak berarti bagimu?" -Cemburu itu bikin mules, Tauk!-
