About A Creature Named Triste

 

When everything seems and looks so wrong….

Once upon a time, there was a creature, called Triste lived on the earth. Basically, she was a nice person, easy going, down to earth and very helpful. She loved travel and always dreamt that someday, she would be a world traveler.

One day, her dream became true. She got an opportunity to see the other world. Not only to see, but also live to the other world. To get a different experience, know different people and off course to have a new life. However, to have this new life, she must leave her comfort zone, move towards to unpredictable zone. She was so excited about this chance. It was like there was moon dust came from the sky and taaaa daaahh and ABRACADABRA…All expectations became reality. It was miracle.

Triste was arrived to the new place, called Negeri Antah Berantah. It was not a wonderland as she imagined before. She thought that this place was terrible, suck, unfriendly and many more. She was started to complain about everything. She hated the place. She didn’t like its people. She hated the environment. Moreover, she hated her life there.

Some months were passed. After all difficulties, hard life and all complain, the time had come for her to have the ‘fruit’ for all her sacrifice. She had a real chance to have the real travel. It made her happy and forgets about all her sadness for a while. She left Negri Antah Berantah and went towards to Negeri di Balik Awan.

Negeri di Balik Awan was amazing. Everything there was beautiful, with nice people, nice food, nice building, nice weather, and very safe, absolutely. She enjoyed every time she had. Triste felt like she didn’t want to leave. She wanted to stay there forever. Nevertheless, no matter how much she wanted to stay, she knew that she had to come back to the place that she hated a lot.

Triste returned to Negeri Antah Berantah after having a whole fantastic month in Negeri di Balik Awan. She thought that she should be happier after her returning. But she was wrong. She was back to become ‘Ms. Complain about Everything’, again. She felt so suffer and miserable. She wanted to leave that suck place, but she couldn’t since she still wanted to travel to the other world. Once she left Negeri Antah Berantah, the chance for travelling was also gone with it. One thing that made her survive was thinking about the next opportunity to see the other wonder land that would come very soon.

The second chance had come. She went to the FairyLand. As Negeri di Balik Awan, FairyLand was also beautiful. Once she was arrived there, she forgot about all her sadness in Negeri Antah Berantah. And it was like when she was visiting Negeri di Balik Awan, she didn’t want to leave FairyLand. It was so nice to be left. But still, she must leave. She was back and she felt more terrible than before. And she hated Negeri Antah Berantah more than she should. She was bored because she couldn’t go around by her self. She was lonely because she had no friends to be with.

Actually she had friends, if she wanted to open her heart and eyes more wide. Some of her friends tried to get her know more people by introducing her to others. Some of them tried to ask her to come to the party. And the other friends asked her to hang out after work. But, Triste always found the reason to refuse. She couldn’t get along with the new people since they were so different. She couldn’t come to the party since she didn’t  drink and felt like an alien to become the only person who was not drinking. She didn’t  want to hang out with some people because she felt that she couldn’t follow the conversation among them. She didn’t want to get along with some groups just because she thought most of people in that group couldn’t be trusted, that was she thought. Instead of being around with new people, she choose to stay at her house, being lonely, feel sorry for her self and at the end she thought that she was the unluckiest person in the world.

She was lucky enough, actually. No, she was not only lucky, but also very lucky. She got what she wanted where million people would die to have what she had. She just forgot some things that she should know

1. She hated the place. C’mon. Please deal with it. She was not staying in that place forever. Every certain period, she had a chance to visit the real wonderland, as she dreamt before. NO PAIN, NO GAIN.
2. She didn’t like the people. That’s the reason why those people didn’t like her back.
3. She hated the environment. It was because she didn’t try enough to find what she liked to kill the time. There were a lot of things outside which could be done. She could take a walk on Sunday, she could go for swimming, she could take the language course or maybe, she could only join a gym for socialization.  
4. She doesn’t have many friends. Hey, friends will not come to her if she didn’t make any efforts. She expected people come to her without doing anything, even just said ‘hi’ or ‘good morning’ or come to simple dinner to start a new friendship.
5. She felt that she was different. It was only on her mind. Once she thought that she was different, she would become different creature forever.
6. She found that nobody could be trusted. Well, once again. Do a little effort to trust people. Don’t make any conclusions based on skin color, religion, nationality or ethnic. She doesn’t want people call that she’s a racist, right?
7. She hated her life there which she didn’t have to. She always has s choice. Take or leave that place.

There was nothing wrong with the world. It was acceptable if sometimes she was up and down. But, after living in Negeri Antah Berantah for a long time and she’s still complaining for the same things? C’mon. Where has she been?

She just needs to be deal with herself. Accepting all lacks in that place and creating the happiness for her self. OR she can leave that place. Fair enough, right? She doesn’t need to blame the situation, or condition or everything. She just need to be adapted and tolerated all differences.
