selamat menempuh umur yang baru.

Mereka bilang hidup itu rumit.
Mereka bilang hidup itu penuh dengan cobaan.
Mereka bilang hidup itu gak sempurna.
Mereka bilang hidup itu berbelit belit.
Mereka bilang hidup itu gak pernah mudah.
Mereka bilang hidup itu bukan 'hidup' yang sesungguhnya kalo gak ada tantangan.
Mereka bilang hidup it bukan untuk sampai, melainkan untuk berjalan.
Mereka bilang hidup itu untuk melihat, bukan untuk dilihat.
Mereka bilang hidup itu seperti matahari sebagai pusat, bukan bulan yang menjadi satelit.
Mereka bilang hidup itu ini itu ini itu.

Tapi bagi saya, hidup itu ya begini.
Penuh tantangan begini adanya.
Tidak sempurna begini adanya.
Tidak mudah begini adanya.
Dan juga indah disaat yang bersamaan, begini adanya.

Dan anda baru saja menambahkan satu lagi hal indah dalam hidup saya, dan saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih karenanya. Jadi, terima kasih.

happy birthday.
