Imaginary City
by Rain Chudori
"I love the idea of the person you love being scattered all over the city. So if you miss them--and you will miss them--you can just go there and feel them"
Imaginary City reminded me about at least two things: Jakarta Jakarta (Kuntoaji's song) and Imaginary itself. Both of them made me thrilling to read this book after a long haul. Actually, it's a bit boring at the beginning. Yet, as I digged deeper, i found something magical and enticing.
See, the quote above instilled and convinced my belief about the sense of magic within certain places. They told us the memory without even saying. Just like the way the central character in the book remembrance her past memories through went around her hometown. Even I didn't really know all those spots, the provided details has been flying me to them.
The book taught me how to appreciate space, memory, and the persons we love. And, geez, i miss what I've been leaving for few months, Imaginary as well.
"There is something that you're carrying within you and perhaps it's time to forgive yourself and rest for a little while."
"Any pain you're carrying, any heartache you're enduring, can always be washed by the ocean."
"I don't think I had a lot of love for my self. I tied to love my self through others, but it was impossible. I realize now that I have to learn how to fulfill my self. I have to learn how to be loved from within it."
"Regardless of who you are, where you are, and what you have done, the sky will always be above you. The sky was the most lovilng and loyal part of the world."
"Everyone here is in a state of suspension. They re either in love, looking for love, or waiting for love. And it all begins by understanding each other."
