Kemarin ada tiga hal yang kusut: kemejamu, wajahmu, dan suasana hatimu. Untuk penawar dua dari tiga keruwetan itu, kuberikan padamu sebuah daftar: 30 Days Song Challenge. Aku menantangmu untuk menuntaskannya dalam sehari.
"Tuliskan satu lagu untuk masing-masing tema harian, dan lengkapi dengan sebaris lirik dari lagu itu yang paling membuatmu terkesan. Mudah-mudahan, cerita hidupmu dalam setiap lagu bisa menjadi pengingat bahwa hari kemarin ada untuk mempersiapkanmu akan kedatangan masa depan, supaya kamu bisa menghadapi segala kejutan dengan senang hati," begitu bunyi aturan main yang kubuat untukmu.
Hari ini, kau kembali dengan daftar yang sudah penuh terisi, dan senyum tercerahmu sepanjang tahun ini.
