It's Alright..

Sometimes in movies or books, especially maybe in the certain genre like romance or drama, you will easily find a similar line.

“Everything’s gonna be okay”, “Everything will be just fine”, “Everything will be alright”

“Semua akan baik-baik saja”

And it just struck me, how comforting those words are.

I start to think of people that might have said those words to me and I found no one. Not even my parents. At least not specifically like that. Every soothing word that I’ve ever received sounds so vague, and it kinda makes me feel sad.

In those movies or books, the main character would have been through some troubles or conflicts, and when she/he gets really really down, that somebody will cheer her/him up by saying those lines.

“Everything will be alright”

Problems won’t easily get solved like that, everybody knows it. But you know, it’s that line that somehow will strengthen you up. Gives you power. Gives you hopes to walk through every obstacle and pains that might be waiting ahead of you. And you’ll feel content and ready to endure whatever it is. That’s it.

Cliché but it’s true.

I wonder when my time will come to have someone by my side that will say those comforting words whenever I feel down or miserable. Maybe it will be amazing to have my parents said it to me, but I doubt it. We don’t talk stuffs to our parents.

I started to think of my friends. Some are my best ones. Then I realized, I mostly do crazy things with them. Also, somehow, I’m the type of friend that always looks happy. Even when I’m sad, I could hide it from them and start being happy instead. It’s not that I fake it, but somehow, I really could forget my miseries whenever I’m with my besties. I hardly remember when was the last time I wreck down and share it to my friends. 

However, once again, it would be nice to have that particular person around you. It doesn’t have to be the one that could solve all your problems, give you advices, and tell you what to do. It’s more like somebody that could pat your back, hug you and comfort you by telling that everything will be just fine.

Hey, semua akan baik-baik saja! :)

PS: Funny thing, by the time I wote this, I was saying that line "everything will be just fine" for real to my friend. It kinda felt so good to at least comforting someone over such a simple meaningful chain of words.
