Favorite Tweets (November '14)

Saya jarang sekali buka Twitter belakangan ini. Tapi walaupun jarang nge-twit, waktu sempat buka, saya suka mengamati timeline dan memencet tombol favorite untuk twit-twit yang menurut saya bagus atau sedang pas dengan isi hati. Seperti yang pernah saya bilang, mem-favorite sama saja dengan mengatakan kata "setuju", "gue banget" atau sekedar kagum dengan isi twit tersebut. Hanya saja, dibanding retweet, favorite menurut saya lebih rahasia. Selain si empunya akun (dan mungkin mereka yang sedang selo lalu buka-buka isi favorite milik orang lain) tidak ada yang peduli, terlebih tahu, apa-apa yang ada di balik tab favorite milik seseorang.  

Retweet, kalau menurut saya, semacam mengadu, bercerita, curhat kepada siapa saja yang sedang ada di timeline. Favorite, di lain sisi, gunanya seperti untuk reflecting. A reminder. Semacam diari. Yang sama dari keduanya adalah, baik retweet maupun favorite sama-sama ditulis dengan menggunakan kalimat milik orang lain. Yang karakternya, tentu, tak lebih dari 140.

Saya belakangan ini lebih sering mem-favorite twit yang berisi quotes dari buku-buku Murakami. Atau beberapa puisi singkat yang berhasil saya temukan menyempil di sela-sela lini masa. Ada juga beberapa (well, hmm, sebenarnya banyak) tentang zodiak saya. Tapi lebih baik tidak saya posting yang bagian itu. He he.

I am
a realist and a dreamer
a cynic and an optimist
a shadow and a flame
an open book and an enigma
an oxymoron in the flesh

You'll end up real disappointed if you think people will do for you as you do for them. Not everyone has the same heart as you. (@9GAG)

In a sense, I’m the one who ruined me. I did it myself. (@_harukimurakami)

I started to imagine another me somewhere, sitting in a bar, nursing a whisky, without a care in the world. (@_harukimurakami)

You cannot form any kind of change from just expecting. (@_harukimurakami)

But it’s not too late to recover. You’re young, you’re tough. You’re adaptable. You can patch up your wounds, lift up your head and move on. (@_harukimurakami)

I’m scared I’ll never get better again. I’m scared I’ll always stay twisted like this and grow old and waste away. (@_harukimurakami)

I hate how true this is: (@ComedyOrTruth)

She waited for the train to pass. Then she said, “I sometimes think people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom." (@_harukimurakami)
