 "I am tired of being strong." 

A thought came to my mind. Not for the first time, I guess. However, this sentence wraps up the past two weeks. Despite the ups and downs of struggling, unstoppable activities, and feelings of keep trying and did not get the result yet. *sigh

Bagaimana bahasa menyampaikan rasa? 

Bagaimana gabungan kata terima dan kasih bisa menyampaikan ungkapan syukur sekaligus penerimaan di saat yang sama. Bagaimana dua frasa ini, dalam versi terjemahannya di seluruh dunia, bisa punya keterikatan rasa dan pemaknaan yang dalam jika tidak sekadar diucapkan sambil lalu, tetapi diresapi, terutama ... jika diucapkan untuk diri sendiri. 

Terima kasih. 

It sounds like, please accept my expression, how I  love you expressed a combination of keep going, no matter how hard the day is, how tired your body is to maintain your energy, and how noisy your brain is. Furthermore, how to always try to accept every role and every surprise thing, especially those that are beyond your control.  

And you and I are the same person: still, yourself.
