It’s About Feeling

Sometimes it’s hard to wish that somebody else would like to know how we actually feel. Why is that? Well, more often the answer is as simple as this: We don’t usually know how we feel all the time. But now all I want to tell you is that I’ve grown more and more exhausted in wishing to make people now how I really feel. I even tired of showing them all I really felt when they don’t seem to really care at all. Okay, until this point I am potentially be recognized as an emo, but aren’t we all emo at some points?

I took it from here: http://mommylife.net/archives/2010/01/putting_kids_in.html

I would never come to a thought that I shouldn’t have been too kind and too sincere to people, no. I would still be as I am right now, despite the fact that people will still be able to be an asshole or a saint in front of me. But actually don’t we all want to be treat nicely by people? People treat me good, they’re nice and even some are great people because of their warmth. But still there are some people that we wished to have treated us more nicely, more warmly.

There are some various kinds of warmth that we expect from people. It could be as simple as more smiles from them, or just a better gesture towards us when we talk to them but most of the time all we need is just a simple question about how we really feel at the moment. Of course that simple question is better served with sincerity. And at this point it’s getting quite difficult for some people. We live in a society where people are expected to be kind most of the time. That’s how we don’t always see a kindness as it is. We don’t always meet people who are really kind not because the society expect them to do so. I’m not saying that people like that are rarely found, but it’s only hard to feel sincerity when we have too many preconceptions in our minds about it.

Until now all I’m trying to be is a person who don’t have too many expectations from people around me, from the closest people around. But I have came to a fact that as long as we have minds and feelings inside us, we can not escape from expectation. It helps us to be better persons, expectation keeps us doing efforts to reach what we want to reach and it shapes our civilitations into how it evolved now and it will continue do so. So now I stopped trying to be a man without expectation as it making me more and more exhausted. But expectation also makes me tired in another hand.

So what to do next?

At least by knowing this, I can be more self-assured and become more secured with myself because everybody else also look for the same thing. At the very bottom, I hope (here I share the expectation with you all, guys) that we can ask this question more oftenly to people around us, people that we really care, people that we know in need of it, but never forget to have more sincerity in saying it:

“How do you feel right now?”

Perihal andreasarianto
I'm a musician with a point of view, that artists should play their part to help improve the society he or she is involved in. This is just one of the ways to realize my vision in life. --- Andreas Arianto Yanuar belajar Komposisi Musik di Universitas Pelita Harapan Conservatory of Music, lulus pada 2007 dan kemudian mengajar kelas-kelas Ensembel Big Band, Orkestrasi dan Sejarah Musik di konservatori tersebut setelahnya. Pada 2009 ia menjadi penata musik dan konduktor Andreas Arianto Orchestra dalam tur konser bersama band rock terbesar di Indonesia, SLANK, ke 6 kota di Pulau Jawa. Ia juga menulis aransemen musik untuk Twilite Youth Orchestra, St. Theresia School Orchestra, Al Izhar Community Choir and Orchestra, Twilite Orchestra, dan 426 Big Band. Pada 2009 Jakarta Arts Council memesan 28 komposisi baru untuk Kompetisi Musisi Muda Nasional 2010. Di tahun yang sama Andreas tampil dengan grupnya, Andre Harihandoyo and Sonic People, di Mosaic Music Festival di Esplanade, Singapura, di mana ia bermain klarinet, akordeon dan kibor. Band ini juga tampil mewakili Indonesia pada Austronesian Culture Festival di Taitung, Taiwan pada November 2010, di luar penampilan mereka tiap tahunnya di Java Jazz International Festival sejak 2009. Di awal tahun 2011 kemarin Andreas dan rekan-rekan komponis muda Indonesia lainnya, dikenal dengan nama grupnya The Circle, diminta oleh Salihara Arts Center untuk mementaskan karya-karya terbarunya. Andreas juga baru saja menulis aransemen orkestra terbarunya untuk lagu tradisional, dipesan oleh Addie MS untuk musik dalam penerbangan Garuda Indonesia yang juga akan diedarkan secara luas dalam album “The Sounds of Indonesia”, dengan permainan City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra dalam rekamannya. Dalam rangka memberi kembali ke masyarakat, Andreas mengajar ensembel orkestra di komunitas GKI Gading Indah di mana ia telah melayani selama 4 tahun sebagai Pengarah Musik gereja tersebut, dan bersama orkestr tersebut telah menampilkan 3 konser untuk umum sejak 2007. Musik dipenuhi oleh banyak sekali not yang berbeda, aneka bunyi dan warna-warni yang bisa membentuk berbagai jenis suasana. Itulah sebabnya musik adalah symbol yang sempurna bagi kehidupan, yang juga terdiri dari begitu banyak perbedaan di dalamnya. Bersama Al Izhar Community Choir and Orchestra, Andreas telah bepergian ke berbagai kota di Indonesia seperti Manado, Aceh dan Bali tak hanya untuk bermain musik, tapi juga memberikan klinik, juga untuk mempromosikan keselarasan di dalam pluralitas kepada anak-anak muda Indonesia generasi selanjutnya

    it’s difficult for me to picture what you have in mind at the moment about feelings, expectation, or failure to see and keep them both. but one small advice i would give you is this: show your sincerity and love without the slightest expectation for a return. God will take care of the rest.

    Have a good Sunday night :D
