"Alone"

       
“If this night is not forever, at least we are together”... Ever heard of this line in your radio?  I am dancing to the beat of it actually.
 It’s Alan Walker’s song entitled “Alone”.


Right now, I am sitting in my kitchen drinking a glass of water (which all I have in the fridge) while listening to this song. It’s past 10pm.

Outside, I can see glitters of the neon lights in the streets. My place is on the 9th floor and the kitchen’s wall is glass, so everything are quite visible outside.

I hardly see stars in the city but from where I am sitting now, I can also see sparkle of them as they loiter around the dark skies.

The music, the dark skies and the stars somehow brought smile to my face.

Simple things but just playing with it in my thoughts made me happy.

 Life is not that complicated at all.  You can find happiness in anything, just don’t break the spell on your thoughts.

Call me crazy but I am loving life, though I am alone.  My happiness belongs to me. Maybe this is what they called fabulously single?

The truth is, I don’t have idea at all. What I know of now is that, I am in cloud 9, as happy and free as the bird flying on the sky.  Just don’t get your hunting gun and shot me dead.


Well here’s the thing, I am so scared of flying. In fact, every time I get on the car to the airport I feel like throwing up.  But when I look at the sky from the plane’s window, the fear becomes tolerable.  You can’t blame me, the clouds looks so beautiful.

Even now when it’s dark, just sitting here in my kitchen with the laptop on hand, the sky still looks beautiful surrounded with glittering stars.

I know life can be complicated but we run the show, don’t we? Our happiness belongs to us, doesn’t depend to other people.


If some people doesn’t like me, who cares?  There’s music to listen, there’s mall to go around, there’s movie theater to go to, there’s a plane to get on, there are colleagues to hang around and there’s my family who will always be there for me.

I am thousand miles away from home but my niece won’t give up inviting me for a badminton game. This is on top of my sister, who at certain time, kept asking me if I get emails from different types of men because she signed me up for a dating site.

They are so sweet that having them on my thoughts don’t make me feel alone at all.

There’s also my memories of the beautiful sky. Trust me, I don’t find it easy to be on the plane but I am still flying around.

 I don’t like international airport because I know I am taking longer flights than domestic but I just booked a ticket to Bali on May 9th. Worse, it’s not a direct flight.  Oh well, I still have the beautiful clouds with me. The unpredictable clouds that melt my senses, so I know I will be fine.  I will just listen to music and I know I am not alone in the clouds at all.

Exactly what the lyrics of Alan Walker’s song “Alone” says.

“If this night is not forever, at least we are together, I know I am not alone, I know I’m not alone. Anywhere whenever apart but still together, I know I am not alone. I know I am not alone!”
