21

Alhamdulillah.

Terima kasih ya Allah. KarenaNya, saya masih bisa mengucap syukur untuk apa yang saya terima selama saya hidup di dunia ini. Saya tahu saya bukanlah umat yang baik karena terkadang saya melupakan hal-hal wajib yang harus dilakukan, tetapi saya tahu Allah SWT tidak akan membenci umatnya, jadi terima kasih untuk segalanya.

Hari ini saya genap berusia 21 tahun.

Usia 21 merupakan usia yang agak menyebalkan. Usia dimana cinta bukan lagi prioritas utama. Usia dimana uang merupakan perkara yang sulit diselesaikan. Usia dimana semua orang akan mempertanyakan kekasih yang bahkan kamu tidak punya. Usia dimana kamu harus bisa mandiri untuk menjalani kehidupan. Usia dimana orang tua mulai khawatir bila anak gadisnya tidak pernah terlihat berkencan dengan pria. Usia dimana Tugas Akhir atau Skripsi menjadi momok menakutkan. Usia dimana segala sesuatunya tidak semudah yang kita pikirkan dahulu. Usia dimana semua pikiran bersatu dan membuatmu gila.

Tapi dengan itu semua, kamu tumbuh menjadi dewasa yang lebih baik.

My 20 is gone and I haven’t done anything

My 20 is gone, I only looked around during my 20

My mom tries to restrict my nights like I’m some delinquent

My unattractive nerd sister only vents hysterically to me

The only person I get along with is my dad whom I barely see

My best friend who dropped out of college only complains

Am I the only one? Was everyone else happy? How about your 20, Girl?

Why is like this? Did everyone else feel electrified? How about your 20, Girl?

I thought a breathtaking love would come

As if a new world would open to me – stupid

Just petty days, just bubble days, goodbye 20

My 20 is gone – you, whom I loved, is gone

My 20 – I’m shocked because I have no breakup symptoms

The timing is just right and a few guys are hitting on me

But the person I want is so cynical towards me, I’m so upset

My only best guy friend says he doesn’t like girls

The girl I hated the most got really pretty, she changed

Am I the only one? Was everyone else happy? How about your 20, Girl?

Why is like this? Did everyone else feel electrified? How about your 20, Girl?

I thought a breathtaking love would come

As if a new world would open to me – stupid

Just petty days, just bubble days, goodbye 20

When you’re 20, you’re always the youngest adult

You’re always the youngest and they always say that I only have to listen to them

When you’re 20, they tell you to have a drink with greasy words – don’t touch me

I thought a breathtaking love would come

As if a new world would open to me – stupid

Just petty days, just bubble days, goodbye 20

I thought a breathtaking love would come

As if a new world would open to me – stupid

Just petty days, just bubble days, please 21

Selamat tinggal 20 dan selamat datang 21!
