Sepi

Hey sepi kini kita menjadi kawan. Kawan yang tak akan pernah putus dan pupus. Karenamu aku menemukan ketenangan dan kedamaian. Kamu tak harus menyakitiku dengan perkataan yang pedas,lalu membuatku menangis perlahan.Dan tak perlu membuatku berargumen dan berdebat selalu untuk hal yang tak penting.

Hey sepi,kamu telah membuatku menjadi lebih tahu akan banyak hal. Merenunginya dan kemudian memaknai semua hal. Dan selalu membantu jiwa selalu bersyukur. Bersyukur atas hidup yang indah ini.Dan membuat hati ini selalu tersenyum dan ceria.

Hey sepi,aku sungguh mencintaimu dan ingin selalu bercinta denganmu. Karena kau begitu syahdu. Kau selalu ada dan membuat pikiran ini penuh akan segala kebaikan. Dan kau lah yang membantuku menjadi kuat,tegar,dan mandiri tanpa terlalu bergantung pada yang lainnya.

Hey sepi tahukah bahwa kamu akan selalu menjadi sahabat terbaikku. Yang akan selalu aku cari ketika suka ataupun duka. Dan yang tak pernah mengguruiku ketika ku bersalah.Dan kau selalu mendekapku erat bersama heningnya malam,yang kemudian menenangkanku selalu..

Karena sepi selalu ada,dan tiada pernah menyakiti....

The Power Imbalance When a Diplomat Dates You

  I never imagined that I would find myself entangled in a relationship with a man who held the title of diplomat . There is something inherently powerful about that word — a sense of nobility, intelligence, and integrity. For someone like me, who has always prided herself on being independent, educated, and emotionally resilient, the connection initially felt affirming. I thought, perhaps, I had finally found someone who could walk beside me as an equal. But what I didn’t realize at the time was how easily a title can conceal deeper truths — emotional manipulation , power imbalances, and an unspoken hierarchy that slowly erodes one’s sense of reality. Our story began online, like many modern romances. Joel Runnels introduced himself as a diplomat stationed in Central Asia , working in human rights advocacy . From the beginning, our conversations were intense and intellectually stimulating. He spoke about his work with disabled communities, policy reform, and global diplomacy. The...

When He’s a Different Person Behind Closed Doors

  You’ve probably never heard of Joel Runnels PhD — but in certain circles in Minnesota, he’s considered a quiet hero. A legislative affairs director who has dedicated decades of his professional life to disability rights and working for Minnesota Council on Disability , Joel is the kind of man who shows up at public hearings, writes compassionate policy briefs, and speaks with moral authority about equity, justice, and the need to protect society’s most vulnerable. He works closely with the Deaf community , disabled children, and families who rely on state policy to survive. But I knew another Joel. One who existed far away from the polished conference tables and media headlines. One whose mask would fall the moment the doors closed. And I’m finally ready to talk about him. This isn’t an exposé for the sake of revenge. This is my truth — and it’s also a mirror. Because too often, the people we are told to admire and trust the most are the very ones causing silent destruction behin...

When Silence Becomes Complicity: The Ethical Reckoning of Joel Runnels, PhD, and the Institutions That Enabled Him

  This article is a personal reflection and should not be interpreted as a legal complaint or formal accusation. It draws on lived experience and publicly available guidelines to spark conversation about ethical accountability in public leadership roles. 1. Introduction: More Than a Personal Story This is not about romance gone wrong. It’s about institutional complicity, the power of titles, and what happens when ethics fall silent in the face of wrongdoing. Joel Benjamin Runnels, PhD — former USAID officer and U.S. diplomat, now Legislative Affairs Director at the Minnesota Council on Disability — has been linked by multiple women across Ghana, Jamaica, Kenya, and Uzbekistan to patterns of emotional manipulation, abandonment, and misuse of diplomatic status. He now serves in a publicly accountable position funded by taxpayer dollars, advocating for marginalized communities. How did these allegations escape scrutiny during vetting? And what does it say about faith in institutions w...
