It's 2.28 AM here and I feel like I want to jump into my keyboard to write it. Now I know I'll enjoy the sense of writing in the midnight like this. The topic is my perception about real conversation.
Since I never make a limit for what I've learned, I always starving to getting wider from what I've been before. Because, for me, there is no boundaries, no restriction of any knowledge. I love heard or scrutinize people's perspective or opinion, just because it's kinda interesting to dive into what's on their head, how they see and think about something. Feel like we plunge to it.
When I was a kid, sometimes I slept with my mom and my dad, and started from it, we always discussed many things, such as how's my day, how's my mom handled her job as a today, or even how about my school, friends, or what kind of game I played today. It was favorite time to me because we all have spent our time differently and in one night, we just felt like we have been trough the day together. When I became a teen, the discussion no longer held on my parent's room, but it still go on. My mom mostly talked about the future, school, course, life (I really mean life), my teenager's life such as hanging out, karaoke, dinner with my peer group, love, and so on. We always opened up each other, I never got afraid to tell or asked anything to her, since she was a good bestfriend nor a best listener.
And it just became my habit. When I was in JHS, I met some friends that I loved to spent my time with. We called our real conversation Pillow Talk. As it named, we discussed anything before we went to sleep. As they were sleeping next to me, we just talk with no fear, no limit. I thought that when we were kid, some stuff that we discussed mostly about how's the life we're going, forgiving, kindness, faith, books, movies, our hobbies, and passion. As we grow up, it enlarge became real-life, ego, economics, sociology, industry, gender, violence, environment, tools in problem solving, perception, figure, etc. Accidentally, we are from different background, so it give many colors to our discussion. There will always be conclusion and lesson learned from what we've been talking about. On the other side, it will teach us how to open our mind to people's principle, views, and opinion. There will never be a commotion in forum since we didn't force our perspective and we respect of people's opinion and argumentation. It's kind a theoretical thing in school, but in this case, we are practice to learn how to appreciate people and learn how to be a listener, started from small things.
The point is, I feel it enlightened me to discovering their perception. The conversation are completely focus, and we are enjoying every second of it. The conversation successfully reached the point where anything, even the time is no longer able to interfere us, which is rare. It's truly precious, having conversation so deep, intense and powerful that you just feel you've made love. You feel completely naked.
I did love real conversation, and I still do.
