I know that in our twenties, the first world problem always revolves
around relationship thingy. I am still in my twenties. So..
As you may already know, mantan, gebetan, pacar adalah tiga
donatur utama istilah baru dalam percakapan. Contohnya
: galau, baper, friendzone, TTM (Oh
God, I feel so old knowing this term), ababil, move on.
Actually, I’ve been disscussing topic about
‘Dampak Nyata Posting tentang Mantan :
Tinjauan dari Segi keGRan, Baper, dan Perasaan yang Tertinggal’ with my
bestfriend, let’s called her Esmeralda.
It started when I praised Esmeralda about her writing in
blog, but it’s weird that she mentioned about her ex boyfriend there. But then
she said, “I actually posted about my ex but I take it down.”
Nothing wrong with posting tentang mantan right? True,
indeed. I even posted about my ex last Thursday in this blog.
And while I said that, Esmeralda pointed out that it
really risky to do that. She added, “Your ex maybe stalking your medsos, and he
will be ke-GR-an. In the end, he will think that you still have feeling for
him.”
I wonder why she thought that her ex stalked her blog.
I asked Esmeralda, “Really? Why do you think he will
stalk you? By logic, if you say that, it is actually you that still have
feeling. You know, unconsciously you want him to stalk you, so you are afraid.”
She replied, “Nope, it’s not that. I just avoided
unnecessary drama. Moreover, it seems I wasted my time doing that.”
Esmeralda definitely has point there.
But WHY? Why we sometimes want to post about exes? Or
even scarier, why we even care if he stalked us or not?
Let’s talk about it.
First, I think our generation have so much media to
express our feeling that we mindlessly obsess with past relationship. That’s
also perhaps the reason why we somehow baper-tiada-akhir. We keep bring it up,
serve it on the table, end up eating it.
This will sound harsh.
Maybe another reason is simply because we don't
have anything better to do with our life.
When our life is suck, we will
automatically being obsessed with something that we think is nice, which is relationship. The companion of someone.
Yes, if you have too much leisure time, you will forever deal with the same relationshit. You may post like
‘gimana ya cara biar dia peka?’, ‘kok ngga pernah ngertiin aku sih’, ‘Ya Tuhan
sakit banget diginiin’, ‘jujur aku masih belum ikhlas’. As if the world must
know your problem.
Remember, you should really think LESS
about love. Don’t be blinded by what you
presume to be love.
You have life. Don’t drown in such petty human emotions.
You are not alone. You have friends,
family, and maybe pets. Forget about the internet for awhile. Go
on dates. Keep yourself
occupied with movies, reading, cooking, and work. Whatever float your boat.
"Well, if you don't feel complete without a relationship, you'll never feel complete with one."
