Setiap kisah dalam hidup ini selalu berulang dan berpola membentuk suatu siklus. Bahagia, jatuh, bangkit, hingga kembali tertawa. Temu-pisah-temu-pisah-temu-pisah. Hal yang biasa menjadi luar biasa, spesial, hingga terasa biasa lagi. Tapi sadarkah kamu, tidak satupun berbagai siklus hidup yang berpola tersebut memberikan rasa dan kenangan yang sama.
Selaras dengan hati, bahagia dukanya jatuh cinta berkali-kali pun enggan kita hindari. Nikmati bahagianya, resapi makna kisahnya, syukuri kehilangannya. Jangan lupa, ambil hikmahnya.
