Rasa

Setiap manusia memiliki rasa. Entah marah,senang, kesal, sedih, ataupun kecewa. Manusiawi rasanya ketika manusia merasakan itu semua hal. Hanya bagaimana manusia mengolahnya. Terkadang menuliskannya lebih mudah tanpa harus berkata-kata. Rasanya lebih bebas mengekspresikan apa yang dirasakan, tanpa hambatan, tanpa pengecualian. Lidah terkadang kelu untuk mengatakan apa yang dirasakan, terlalu takut akan sebuah konsekuensi. Terlalu takut akan sebuah penolakan.

Yah rasa menjadikan kehidupan lebih berwarna baik itu asam,manis,pedas, atau pahit sekalipun. Tetapi rasa adalah suatu spirit yang membuat kita terus hidup. Dan terus berjuang untuk mendapatkan apa yang kita mau. Seperti rasa mencintai orang tua, membuat kita rela melakukan apapun, asalkan mereka bahagia. Dari sebuah rasa muncul segala kekuatan untuk menggerakan raga bergerak menuju apa yang logika inginkan, dan disetir oleh alam bawah sadar kita sendiri.

Rasa yang membuat harapan bagi setiap insan untuk terus hidup. Terkadang rasa itu menyakiti kita, membuat kita menangis. Tetapi dibalik itu rasa mengajarkan kita bagaimana untuk belajar dari terjatuh,bangkit,berdiri, kemudian berlari kembali. Rasa membuat nyawa ini berusaha memberikan yang terbaik,berusaha yang terbaik.

Rasa mengajarkan akan kesabaran, tidak menyerah, dan tegar. Rasa kehilangan akan seseorang, seperti kematian. Memberikan pelajaran bahwa ya hidup harus ikhlas,kita harus menyerahkan pada alam, pada Sang Penguasa Alam. Kita hanyalah insan yang dipinjami raga dan rasa untuk menikmati kehidupan. Rasa adalah segalanya....

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 the Mask Falls: What I Learned After Being Lied to, Cheated On, and Gaslighted by a Diplomat

There’s a unique kind of heartbreak that comes not just from personal betrayal, but from betrayal by someone the world sees as respectable — someone who commands admiration, speaks with poise, and lives behind the diplomatic veil of charm and composure. I never thought I would find myself entangled in the emotionally devastating web of deceit, manipulation, and betrayal — especially not with a man trained to handle international relations, negotiations, and cultural sensitivity. But behind the polished exterior, I discovered a pattern of behavior that had been repeated many times before. A man who had fathered five children with two different women, leaving behind broken trust, confusion, and emotional damage. This is not a story told out of bitterness. It is told out of truth, growth, and a deep desire to help others recognize warning signs — and to choose themselves, every single time. The Charisma Trap He was everything that looked good on paper: well-educated, articulate, intellige...
