Skinny Love

We will never know why such a thing happened to us. Let's say it depends on God's will, so what? We have been given a lot of chances to change our fate. Certain things that we cannot change are revolving only on when will we die, who will be our soul mate, and how will we die. Those things are certain.

At least I knew how to use one. When I really had the chance to say those three words to you after years buried deep down in an artificial rabbit hole I made.

What was your response again?

Cold.

You weren't happy or sad hearing it.
Your face was blue, I wish I could transfer the warmth by throwing you a real tight hug.
You were mute at the time I declared myself to get out of this cave I named after you.


And I knew you said those three words once. Long before me. 
You said it when I barely couldn't get focused on your utterances. Don't blame me, my dear. I was too excited to see Taylor Swift standing before me singing her Red song. But I could still remember how you kept staring at me while I danced around here and there. I wish I could stare at you too and end up both of us eating each other.

I was too selfish at that time, I knew it. I'm sorry.

After your declaration, we were still being best friends. Although, our skinny love was just waiting for something more real. We both knew it. We were just too shy to start it.
Both of us still share a similar burden carried from our past until we didn't even know the correct way to start it all over again.
The reason was quite similar.
Our past romance-experiences were hurtful even to re-imagine it again.
I really wanted to feel real love, in fact. Real one like I could roll into your arms whenever I could, hug you tightly when you feel sick, and encourage each other when one made a mistake. Not skinny love like what we had been through all these years

I wanted the world to know I was yours; I was the only person you think about after getting up from your sleep, when you go to sleep, when you eat, study, work out, and stuff.
And I knew that you did have the same feeling as me, right dear? 

Was it God's will or what- I finally said those three words. I whispered it through your ears. 
They were so cold. But you look 'hot' in your suit, and a little bit of powder on your face smeared mine.

Where were you going, Mr. Young James Dean?

But why did you keep ignoring me?
Where were you going?
Was I too late for this?

My Star by Robert Browning  Poem Analysis Today, I'd like to present my poem analysis; My Star by Robert Browning . This poem analysis would be divided into three parts, namely: introduction which will tell a brief background life of the poet, then to the content where there will be summary and intrinsic elements of this poem, and then move to the conclusion as the finish line. But more importantly, you need to know why I choose this poem, which belongs to Men and Women (1885)  poems collections of Browning. It is because this dainty love lyric is just beautiful and simple, in words-chosen and easy to understand too. More importantly, this poem shows us how the beauty of a person is different depending on its beholder. Yet, we should respect the differences.

Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen Movie

Since it is holiday already, so I have more time to gather the data and publish this article, which is entitled Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen movie . I analyzed this movie in order to complete the assignment given in Children literature class. But it turned out interesting! I focused only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. Check out the analysis from my paper! The writer analyzes Frozen movie by focusing only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. In order to not broaden it into some theories that may be found in the plot, the writer thinks the misconstrued-performances of the main characters, Anna and Elsa are easily seen and become vast majority start from the beginning until the very end of the movie. But it doesn’t mean other theories are forgotten. Something that the writer immediately thought about when finishing the movie was that Frozen is perhaps the queerest animated film ever produced by Disney–queer as being a theoretical practic...
