pieces of me




This song is for you, Dian Arymami. And for myself, too. This song is for those times we spent in restlessness; of love, desire, and everything in between. It’s for those times we wondered around thinking about life, people, and everything in between. It’s for those times we sit down talking about feelings, reality, dreams, and everything in between. No, it’s not only about moving on from a broken relationship, but also of all the things that may break a person. Somehow when something is throwing you off your equilibrium, you should by all means try to get a grip of something and save yourself in any way you can. By keeping a part of you sane, you will hold up long enough until someone takes your hand and pulls you up and helps you. Someone out there is coming to help you, so you just have to keep it together as much as you can. And for me, that person is you. And during all of those times, you take my hand, and I take yours too. We pull and help each other. Eventually, we both know that everything happens for a reason. We may not see the reason right now but in time we will. Everything will be fine. Hearts will hold.

“Calm down, deep breaths, and get yourself dressed instead of running around, and pulling on your threads, and breaking yourself up. If it’s a broken part, replace it; if it’s a broken arm, then brace it; if it’s a broken heart, then face it. And hold your own, know your name, and go your own way.” –Jason Mraz feat. James Morrison, Details in the Fabric

This song tugs my heartstrings since the first time I heard it. It’s a song called “Details in the Fabric”, performed by American singer-songwriter, Jason Mraz. The pop acoustic track was written by Mraz himself along with Dan Wilson. It’s also featuring English singer-songwriter, James Morrison. “Details in the Fabric” was released as a part of Mraz’s third studio album titled “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” The album was released on May 12th 2008. On November 18th 2008, the album was re-released with the name “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. Limited Edition.” Listening to “Details in the Fabric” somehow soothe me in a way that it could remind me that there’s gotta be more to life. Whenever I feel down and low in misery and loneliness, this heartwarming song could bring me peace. And so I hope, it could bring the same toward people around me. This is for all of you who feel like the life is so unfriendly nowadays.

This song is telling us to be strong and stop freaking out over one little detail and look at the whole fabric of our life instead. A broken heart hurts and can feel like a rush of emotions, but we need to calm down and try to live our life instead of thinking about it and hurting ourselves further. “Calm down, deep breaths, and get yourself dressed instead of running around, and pulling on your threads, and breaking yourself up. If it’s a broken part, replace it; if it’s a broken arm, then brace it; if it’s a broken heart, then face it. And hold your own, know your name, and go your own way. And everything will be fine.” Comparing a broken heart to something physically missing from an object and physical pain, we know it hurts but there are ways to get past it by ‘replacing the part’ or ‘bracing the broken arm’. The only way to fix a broken heart is just to face it and try to move on. “Hang on, help is on the way, and stay strong, I’m doing everything. Hold your own, know your name, and go your own way. And everything will be fine.”
Don’t give up. If we hang in there, we may find that others care about us and can help with what we are going through. Relating poor or faulty wiring to feeling anxious, just as if our sewing machine has a faulty wire that causes a short circuit, our brain can also have a ‘short circuit’. “Are the details in the fabric, are the things that make you panic, are your thoughts results of static cling? Are the things that make you blow, hell, no reason, go on and scream. If you’re shocked it’s just the fault of faulty manufacturing. Everything will be fine, everything in no time at all, everything. Hold your own, and know your name, and go your own way.” Don’t be dependent on someone else for our happiness. Know that we are our own person and we need to live our life. No matter what has happened, we will find everything to be better in the end through other sources of happiness. Don’t hesitate too much on the little details. Know that if we sweat the small stuff it can easily turn into big stuff. And our thoughts, they are projected in the reality.
“Is it Mother Nature’s sewing machine?” Most of the time when we panic it’s not rational. Our brain is over reacting to everything which may seem like nature being at fault here. We were just wired differently; and that we’re more self-sacrifice than anybody else. That’s just the nature of our self-mechanism. What’s most important to remember is that we’re not crazy. It’s not our fault, but our brain just works differently and that is just a fault of faulty manufacturing in our brain. “Everything will be fine, everything, in no time at all. Hearts will hold.” Whatever it is that makes us get out of control, whether it is anger, anxiety, addiction, or depression, the reasoning behind it is not our fault. There is no reason to get all build up about something that was uncontrollable. Take things as they come and make best of what is dealt to us. Be strong and know who we are and remember who we are and stay true to it even in the toughest times. And believe that even the toughest time too shall pass. Shits happen; just flush it and move on.

Have you ever find yourself just clinging onto stupid little thoughts? Or have you ever wonder that those thoughts cling themselves onto you? In my case, I find that most of the times; over-thinking and overanalyzing over every little thing. There’s nothing wrong with that, I know. However, I also realize that I need to compose and give a rest for myself. Over-thinking and overanalyzing can be quite damaging for me, and I need to get a grip, because when we attract everything to ourselves, our thoughts are projected in reality. In order to do that, all we need is just to meet the right person to talk to; share our thoughts and feelings, discuss our anxiety, fears, and insecurities. And most of the times, you are that person, Dian Arymami. We both know too well that life is indeed always fucked up. And I guess we just deal with how it comes. We deal with the humps and we just take the jumps; hold our own, know our name, and go our own way. Everything will be fine, eventually. And our hearts, our hearts will always hold.

“Everything are the details in the fabric, are the things that make you panic, are your thoughts results of static cling? Are the things that make you blow, hell, no reason, go on and scream. If you’re shocked it’s just the fault of faulty manufacturing.” –Jason Mraz feat. James Morrison, Details in the Fabric




Calm down, deep breaths, and get yourself dressed instead
Of running around, and pulling on your threads, and breaking yourself up
If it’s a broken part, replace it; if it’s a broken arm, then brace it; if it’s a broken heart, then face it
And hold your own, know your name, and go your own way
Hold your own, know your name, and go your own way, and everything will be fine

Hang on, help is on the way, and stay strong, I’m doing everything
Hold your own, know your name, and go your own way
Hold your own, know your name, and go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine, everything
Are the details in the fabric, are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?
Are the things that make you blow, hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you’re shocked it’s just the fault of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine, everything in no time at all, everything
Hold your own, and know your name, and go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic, are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)
Are the details in the fabric (hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (go your own way) is it Mother Nature’s sewing machine?
Are the things that make you blow (hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream, if you’re shocked it’s just the fault (go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing, everything will be fine
Everything, in no time at all, hearts will hold

There were times when life seemed so blur, and love seemed so untrue. Well, times like that would come again, eventually, since life is a never ending cycle of processes. There are times when love seems so uncertain, and heart feels like it could change anytime it wants. Those are times when I feel afraid toward my own feeling; of what I feel and think and want and need. Those are times when I’m scared of my own thought; of what I might say and do. Those are times when I have so many doubts whether to follow my head or my heart. Those are times when I have a lot of insecurities toward myself. For the life is so full of possibilities, do I want to know? For the answer could be anything, do I really want to know? For love has the ability to take us to heaven or to hell or both of them, do I want to know? For human’s heart is the most fickle thing ever existed in this world, do I really want to know? For desire and love are siblings yet never identical twins (Bauman, 2003:9), do I want to know? For we never know what tomorrow will bring and it might be turned upside down from today, do I really want to know?

“Have you no idea that you’re in deep? I dreamt about you nearly every night this week. How many secrets can you keep? ‘Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat until I fall asleep; spilling drinks on my settee.” –Arctic Monkeys, Do I Wanna Know?

Whenever I feel like this life is so full of those uncertainty and shits, I just want to hear this song. Whenever I feel lonely, I just need to listen to this song. It’s called “Do I Wanna Know?”, performed by Arctic Monkeys, an English indie rock band. It was released on June 19th 2013 as the second single taken from the band’s fifth studio album, “AM”, which released later on September 9th 2013. The music video for this song was first released onto Youtube on June 18th 2013, directed by David Wilson with animation agency Blinkink. “Do I Wanna Know?” is a stoner rock with psychedelic music and blues rock elements track written by Arctic Monkeys’ frontman, Alex Turner. The song’s title encapsulates the entire premise of the story, the narrator wondering whether he wants to remain in doubt or know if his feelings are unrequited or mutual. There is a sick, exquisite kind of pain that comes with loving or lusting after someone you can’t have; this song’s lyrics perfectly encapsulate that.

Love is a mortgage loan drawn on an uncertain, and inscrutable, future (Bauman, 2003:8). But then again, people always fall for the temptation to fall in love, for its pseudo-promises of joy and all greatness in the world. However, all over again, that’s the trouble with love is. We can’t just brush it off like those shits that stick in your teeth. We can’t help but blushing by it. We can’t get it out of our mind. We even dream about it. We can even make a song out of it. And we even fall asleep while thinking of it. “Have you got colour in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can’t shift, the type that sticks around like something in your teeth? Are there some aces up your sleeve? Have you no idea that you’re in deep? I dreamt about you nearly every night this week. How many secrets can you keep? ‘Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat until I fall asleep; spilling drinks on my settee.” And it will slowly drive us insane, the wonder why it could happen and whether that person feels the same as we do.
The next thing we know, we’re infatuated with that person, and we’re intoxicated by love and desire. Often with this type of obsession we turn that person into something they are not or something they can never live up to. That’s why we ask to ourselves; do we face getting our feelings turned down? Or even worse, might we realize that that person is not the person we’ve made them to be in our head? “So have you got the guts? Been wondering if your heart’s still open, and if so I wanna know what time it shuts; simmer down and pucker up. I’m sorry to interrupt, it’s just I’m constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you. I don’t know if you feel the same as I do, but we could be together if you wanted to.” We offer everything on the table, though we aren’t sure that the feeling is mutual. We realize that we can recover by focusing on someone new, yet despite realizing this, we still decide not to. We’re in such desperate and vulnerable condition; we’re on our knees and can’t think of anyone else but our lover, despite the pain it’s been causing.
If you invest in a relationship, the profit you expect is first and foremost security: security in many senses (Bauman, 2003:13). However, promises of commitment are meaningless in the long term (Vermilion, 2001 in Burgess, 2002). So when there is no commitment, where is the security? Will you still love me tomorrow? That question will always haunt our mind every time. “Do I wanna know if this feeling flows both ways? Sad to see you go; was sort of hoping that you’d stay. Baby we both know that the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day.” Yet indeed it’s beyond our control; the person whom we always want to stay no matter how many times they leave. Yet indeed it’s beyond rationality; the person whom we always crawl back to no matter how many times we try to walk away. “Crawling back to you; ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few? ‘Cause I always do. Maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new. Now I’ve thought it through; crawling back to you.” Though there are no promises.


"AM" album cover | source: en.wikipedia.org

We want that person back, but they don’t need to commit; they can have anyone they want. We are left wondering do we wanna know if the feeling flows both ways. “Ever thought of calling darling?” We’re insecure. We can’t move on, so we’re crawling back. However, we aren’t certain that that person actually wants us back. This uncertainty itself is an unpleasant feeling, but putting ourselves out there means we risk humiliation if that person actually doesn’t want us. “Do you want me crawling back to you?” Loneliness spawns insecurity, but relationship seems to do nothing else. In a relationship, we may feel as insecure as without it, or worse (Bauman, 2003:15). Yet we keep craving on it; the longing to be desired, the illusion of joy, the delusion of love. And without we realize, we keep crawling back to that person who has the ability to fulfill it. And subconsciously, we’re just too busy being theirs to fall for somebody new. And we play it on repeat, for the night was mainly made for saying things that we can’t say tomorrow day.

“Do I wanna know if this feeling flows both ways? Sad to see you go; was sort of hoping that you’d stay. Baby we both know that the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day.” –Arctic Monkeys, Do I Wanna Know?






Have you got colour in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can’t shift,
The type that sticks around like something in your teeth? Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you’re in deep? I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep? ‘Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you
Somehow and I play it on repeat until I fall asleep, spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know) if this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go) was sort of hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know) That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you, ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
‘Cause I always do, maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through, crawling back to you

So have you got the guts? Been wondering if your heart’s still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts, simmer down and pucker up
I’m sorry to interrupt, it’s just I’m constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don’t know if you feel the same as I do, but we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?) Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go) ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?) Do you want me crawling back to you?

Insecurities and fears have been the hottest topics in my mind nowadays. I and my partner have been through many conversations about these topics, yet every talk we’ve had always gives us some new perspectives and understandings. One of the things that I’ve found only after meeting him is the fact that actually men do have their own securities and fears. They can be different kinds of insecurities and fears that women have. However, it doesn’t make those that men have are less important. In an article that I found, it’s being said that men are more sensitive than culture gives them credit for. For all of the proclamations of manliness and machismo and how men just don’t worry about the same things that women do, the male ego is surprisingly fragile. Indeed, the patriarchal culture of the world itself is the thing that thins the male ego; therefore it makes men have more complicated insecurities and fears than women, in some cases. So what I’m going to say in this post is in order to encourage men, especially my own, to embrace their insecurities and fears, and be brave, for they are larger than life.

“Why can’t you believe it yet? I’ll tell you the real secret of why you are a special mister. You have the key to open the future, so have a dream that’s bigger than a little boy’s. Place me into your shining eyes, my mister, rock this world.” –Girls’ Generation, Mr. Mr.

A song titled “Mr. Mr.” was released by one of South Korea’s most famous girl groups, Girls’ Generation. It was served as the title track for their fourth extended play with the same name. The EP was released on February 24th 2014, while the song was released a day after on February 25th 2014. The song’s music and arrangement was made by the group of music producer, The Underdogs, which consisted of Harvey Mason Jr., Damon Thomas, Andrew Hey, Mike Daley, Britt Burton, and Rodnae ‘Chikk’ Bell. Meanwhile, its lyrics were written by Cho Yoon Kyung and Kim Hee Jeong from Jam Factory. The track was described as an electropop and pop-R n’ B song that incorporates a hip hop beat and EDM-influenced buildups. The music video for “Mr. Mr.” was premiered on Mnet on February 28th 2014. Lyrically, "Mr.Mr." has a more proactive theme with lyrics prompting a reluctant man to be more courageous towards girls.

“Mr. Mr.” lyrically speaks about encouraging and boosting the confidence of those men who have lost courage. Understanding why men show insecurity in relationships is the biggest hurdle to overcoming it. It’s our job as women to reach out for them. “Let’s go! What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? If you keep measuring things out, it’ll be too late. Every day brings a different kind of nervousness. I want somebody to take the lead, but you ignore it and close your eyes. You bad boy, you so bad.” Men do have their own mechanism of thinking and measuring things. At times, that mechanism is a backlash as it’s restraining them to show their true potentials. At this point, we should take the initiative to reduce their anxiety and motivate them to the fullest. “Why can’t you believe it yet? I’ll tell you the real secret of why you are a special mister. You have the key to open the future, so have a dream that’s bigger than a little boy’s. Place me into your shining eyes, my mister, rock this world.”
The world we live in is run by its patriarchal system, and in some way it has repressed men in many ways, including relationship. There are some manifestations of men’s fears and insecurities. First of all is the lack of self confidence. Sometimes they just can’t believe that they’re special to us. And as they are rational creatures, we can start by giving them reasons why we feel that they’re our precious. Second of all, men are living in fears instead of living with intent. They tend to do things out of fears rather than intention. Therefore we can encourage them to dream big and fight hard for it. And also, reassure them that no matter what, we’re always there for them. “In this world in front of you, before anyone else, throw yourself first; more intensely, mister. Only you can fulfill just one thing for the tomorrow that you and I will live inside.” Convince them that the world is widely spread in front of them and that they have to seize it. And then, ascertain them that they’re the one we want and need for facing the uncertain future together.
More about the manifestations of men’s fears and insecurities, there is this kind of conflict between biological and social expectations. This makes men are afraid of neediness. As the social expects them to be independent, they cannot escape from their biological needs that, indeed, they need women. And most of the times, they do become dependent toward the woman they love. Hence, men fear of not being good enough, moreover, when it comes toward their partner. Since the essence of a relationship is meeting our significant other halfway, then it’s women’s job to fill in the blank that is shaped by men’s fears and insecurities. “Be more confident, look at me, yes, you. The one who makes my heart race, the best man, that’s you. You make broken glass from scars turn into stars. The chosen one to make me shine that is you.” A good partner supports each other in every way. When the man loses his confidence, the woman should boost it up; ease their uneasiness, turn on the light in his darkness, make them believe on their own self.

Understanding is the gate entrance for two people to accept each other. Henceforth, it is also what people must do in order to accept themselves. One must understand and accept themselves first before they can understand and accept other people. As a human, it is so natural if we have some fears and insecurities. People say that fear is what keeps us alive. And insecurities, it is what makes us human. However, the way we handle our own fears and insecurities is the thing that matters. When we can understand our fears and insecurities, embrace them, accept them, and then that’s when we can fully accept ourselves. Men are fragile, but the way this world works doesn’t let them to be. And that’s just making them more fragile than they actually are. They’ve been taught to take the blame. And they need to be encouraged. However, no matter how hard their woman tries to encourage them, men must believe in themselves too in order to make that happen. They must believe that they can rock the world; that they’re the man.

“Be more confident, look at me, yes, you. The one who makes my heart race, the best man, that’s you. You make broken glass from scars turn into stars. The chosen one to make me shine that is you.” –Girls’ Generation, Mr. Mr.

I find myself as the kind of a person who is hard to fall in love. However, once I fall for someone, then I fall for good; greatly and deeply. I find myself as a woman who loves to play around. There was a time in my life when I used to break so many men’s hearts. And yes, karma does exist. I’ve got my retribution. I’ve met my circumstances. Lessons are learned. I find myself as a woman who likes to get along with boys. And yes, I got along well with them. Therefore I have so many male friends. However, when it comes to a particular one guy that I really like, as more than just a friend, of course, then I’m the kind who always finds it hard to approach him. And the funny thing is, because I got many men around me, when I finally got to approach the man that I like, he seems to do not understand my real intention toward him. Well, yeah, he would think that I’m just playing around, that he’s just another guy in my bunch, and that he’s just the same as the others. Meanwhile, on the other hand, he’s not just another guy, and there’s no other but him. It’s hard to be an outgoing woman nowadays, right? Reality bites, indeed.

“I have a lot of guy friends, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fall in love, ‘cause girls who don’t know men aren’t that great.” –miss A, Only You (다른 남자 말고 너)

One of South Korean front-runner girl groups, miss A, released a song titled “Only You (다른 남자 말고 너)” on March 30th 2015 as the lead single for their third mini album, “Colors”, which was released on the same day. The official music video for the song was premiered on Mnet on March 26th 2015. The dance pop track was written and composed by Black Eyed Pilseung, along with Sam Lewis on lyrics. This song includes hip-hop and trap rhythms. “Only You (다른 남자 말고 너)” lyrically talks about a woman in love who tries to assure the man she loves that he’s the one for her. A woman can have many male friends around her, but what she really wants is no other man but the man she loves.

“You ask whether I’m playing around, but really, I’m not playing around. What words are needed? Look, my whole body is reacting, baby. I have a lot of guy friends, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fall in love, ‘cause girls who don’t know men aren’t that great.” There are some girls who have many guy friends; girls who just naturally have the ability to blend in well with boys. There are women who have many men around her; women who just naturally can get along with men better than women. Sadly, people, especially men, see those girls as women who love to play around and can’t stick to just one man. However, they’re just girls eventually. They can fall in love too. And when they do, that’s for real. What should be said in order for that man to be able to understand her heart? “My heart keeps on racing, no one else can make me like this. What words are needed? Now look and try to touch my heart, baby. I have a lot of older guys that I know, but that doesn’t mean I’m easy, ‘cause girls who don’t know men aren’t that great.”
What should be said in order to convince that man? Girls who have a lot of guy friends are actually the ones who find themselves hardly fall in love. And when girls like them do fall in love, then that’s a real deal. Women who have many men around them are actually the ones who do understand men better than any women who don’t. And when women like them fall in love, then that’s really something. “I’m running out of breath; you’re the one who could make me like this. I can’t say anything more; I’ve never felt this way before.” Perhaps nothing speaks better than action. Every move that comes out from her body will show that the man is the one for him. Every little thing she does will tell that the man is different from her guy friends. There are significant differences if we take a look closer. “I’m different from other girls; I don’t want a typical love. I don’t care if I’m the one who like you more; I only need you. You’re different from other guys; now you can just accept me. You’ll be my baby. You; no other guy but you.”
These girls are different. Since they have many boys around her, then it must be something special when she could fall in love with a certain boy, right? These women are different. Since they have many men that are good to her, then it must be something more when she could be in love with a particular man, right? They don’t care if they like that person more than he likes them. They don’t doubt to approach first and be aggressive. They don’t fear to show their feelings. What’s not great about that, right? Women like them are rare and hard to catch, actually. “No one else looks good next to you now. The song is ending, but you’re not saying anything, baby.” I know boys are insecure, but they actually can rest assure, because when a girl like that falls for them, she falls for good. I know men are picky, but they actually can make a choice without any doubt, because when a woman like that chooses them, she chooses right. Why? Because among many men, she picks no other but him, eventually. And that speaks louder than any words.

There is a saying that people with same frequency will eventually find at each other. I guess that’s true. A woman will find a man with the same nature as her, and perhaps, fall for that man. So, in other words, if you’re a man and there’s a woman who seems like a player (just because she has a lot of guy friends around her) falls for you, perhaps you’re just the same as her without you even realize. A man who has a lot of female friends around him can fall in love for real too, right? That’s the same with women. We can fall in love too even though we have many male friends. The facts that we know and get along well with other men only strengthen the chance that we fall for the right man for us. Women like us is hard to catch, therefore we’re hard to fall in love. So when we do, we fall for good and real. We’re different from other women. We don’t want such a common love. We always desire something new and different too. We’re rare. And we don’t treat our special one like the others around us; that’s for sure. Only you.

“I’m different from other girls; I don’t want a typical love. I don’t care if I’m the one who like you more; I only need you. You’re different from other guys; now you can just accept me. You’ll be my baby. You; no other guy but you.” –miss A, Only You (다른 남자 말고 너)
