Spice Up Your (After) Life

I still remember the first time you kissed me. You said it was the kiss that you had been waiting for. You said that it felt so right. You said that I was “The One”.

And I bought that. I fell for you. We were so happy until you finally met this chick. And all of a sudden, you decided you wanted to get married with her.

I, of course, was in shock. I kept asking you “Why?”. You, of course, came up with the answer “We cannot get married because you are a man.”

Right.

So you left me and got married with her.

Could you imagine how I felt? Of course, you could not, because you were too busy fucking that bitch who just became your wife.

A few months after your wedding, you called me again. You said you missed me. Ha ha. Do you still remember that? Well I do. Vividly. To be honest, I missed you too, but I told you to fuck off and hung up the phone.

And yesterday, I read about you in the newspaper. You are now so famous. "Goodie goodie", I thought, "Finally, your dreams of hitting the fame came true". Your face is everywhere. Your wife’s face is also everywhere.

Well, to be fair, she’s the one who made the headline: A wife caught his husband cheating with another man and fatally shot them multiple times.

Way to go to make a scene, man! The news went viral.

You picked the right woman. She’s a badass, your wife.

Oh well, I gotta go. I might visit your wife in the prison later and high five her.

Nice tombstone, by the way.

On Breaking Up (Part 1)

Image
How many times have you ever had your heart "broken" because your ex(es) wanted to break up with you? How many times have you got out of a relationship/marriage leaving your ex(es) "brokenhearted" because you were the one who decided to call it quit? How many times have you parted ways with your romantic partner(s) and maintained the no-speaking terms until this very second? Love is tricky. That's what I used to think. The first time I fell in love with someone, I was in high school. Puppy love, one would say. But I don't think I should belittle, let alone disregard that experience. I honor that phase of feeling the genuine attraction and compassion romantically towards someone else for the first time. Anyway, I shall not name names, but this person that became my first love was a boy. Obviously, I was (and still am, the last time I checked) gay. The boy (who I assumed straight and is married now to a woman and they have two beautiful kids) (yes, I s

Confession of Many Married Men

Image
I look up to the ceiling where the van is blowing what I'd consider an oasis in this humid room. Through its rather slow clockwise whirling, I can spot a significant amount of dark stain glued on the blades. It's the dust that has been there for years. The dust that has kept all the secrets of everyone that enters the room. I turn my head to the left side. My eyes lay on the body sleeping by my side. I'm staring at the defined back muscle beautifying his toned body. His bare bum looks smooth for someone with hairy chest. I suspect he waxes. Well with the rate he charges, he should be able to afford a high-maintenance ass. My alarm rings off. I better get dressed and go home. My wife promised to cook my favorite dinner tonight. My Husband's Lover Jakarta, May 2015.

Reinventing Yourself

Image
I do not believe in clean slate. We need to accept and embrace the past in order for us to move forward without anything holding us back. We may think that we have forgotten, that we have gotten over the past, while in fact, our soul never forgets. Do not belittle our ability to remember every single experience that spans throughout our existence in this infinite universe. We can fool ourselves by pretending to believe that we cannot recall the unpleasant memories. But who are we kidding? Our soul knows best. That is to say that we can fully move forward ONLY AFTER we have fully embraced whatever happened in the past. Forgetting is running away. Forgetting is allowing the past to haunt us for the rest of our lives. Reinventing oneself is taking a different approach in life while, at the same time, accepting that our past experiences had to happen in order for us to be who we truly are. If only we learned the lesson. The heart stores everything.
