Us and Distance
Agustus 06, 20230 Comments

I told God that I'm grateful you came to my life. 


In prayers, I believe there's a ton of love that I can't explain. 


I experienced a fleeting feeling yet a profound emotion, considering how the world support our way to come across. 


I resembled the letters that once connect us for our friendship, despite the distance.


I was wonderstruck, yet enjoyed the fluttering and those warm feeling. 


You might not realize how your stories, supports and mere existence brighten my days. 






I told you once again, 

It's nice talking to you. 

How enjoyable our conversations are. 


It's a great thing that our minds can connect from far, far away.... 


It's amazing how effortlessly we find topics to discuss and you provide me with exactly what I need to read. 


It's remarkable how we could understand each other tone without the knowledge of each other gesture. 


But the distance is unbearable.... 


I can't seem to catch you. 


And this is the kind of love I have for you. 


Believe me, until now, I have adored you.


I found myself momentarily lost in a notion, that I had been in love with fantasies I had created in my head. 


I am well aware that we are just perfect strangers who met. 


I understand that I'm not physically beside you, whether standing, sitting, or lying down. 


I wish you were here. 

Or I wish I was there. 

Even if it was just for today. For a few seconds. 

So that I could softly whisper, 'I love you'. 


I wish someday we share long walks, gazing into each other's eyes. 


Ouch, I think I fell in love with a distant star...

A Warm July: Healing Through Words
Juli 04, 20230 Comments

Seems that we've reached the half of this year, eh?

I'm going to welcome this July with a new spirit. A new journey to embrace. 


It has been one of the greatest and most difficult months of my life. 

Yet, these past few months I learned a lot. 


I learned that in this world, everything is just temporary. 


Moments. Feelings. People. Flowers. Kindness. 





And you know, I want to know that love is an action. I learned that love is about giving—everything—and letting it hurt. 

Wait... what?

Hahaha, yea that is what I knew from my past experiences. 


I learned all the things come in twos :

Life and death.

Pain and joy. 

Sugar and salt. 

Me and you. 


It is the balance of universe.

“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one”

― Rumi


We must learn to focus on warm energy, always. 

Soak our limbs in it and become better lovers to the world, for if we can't learn to be kinder to each other how will we ever learn to be kinder to the most desperate parts of ourselves. 



*This post was inspired from Rupi Kaur.

Take Control What's Inside You
Juni 15, 20230 Comments


The question isn't, " Can you handle the situations?"
The question is, "Can you handle your minds? 


The main inquiry isn't about your ability to handle external situations, but rather, can you effectively manage your own mind? 
Can you control the thoughts and emotions that might hinder your progress? 

Instead of focusing on managing external circumstances, prioritize the management of your own mind.


Now it's not time to think of what you don't have. Think of what you can do with what there is. 
- Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea


And it's a reminder to myself  that actually life gets better once I can learn to accept the fact that I can't control everything. 






I can't control what others think about me, how they treat me, how they love me, 
I can't control their actions and feelings because there are things we have to let go in order for us to move forward. 


Letting go doesn't mean I'm giving up or being passive. It means acknowledging that we have limited influence over external factors and choosing to focus on what we can control; our thoughts, actions, and responses. 


Taking care of world inside of you means nurturing my mental, emotional, and physical well-being. When I prioritize my own growth and happiness, I'll better equipped to contribute positively to the world outside of me. 


Let's control what I can do, what I can feel, and with good intention, to live in this life. 


So, please take care of your world inside of you, so that you can take care of your world outside of you.

MAY-be
Mei 24, 20230 Comments

This May, perhaps teaches me another lessons to grow. 


Sometimes I couldn't understand why but in the end I'm learning that actually everything that I'm going through have reasons. 


                                       Everything has a reason. 

 

I have to believe that I can go through these all. 

The mundane life, difficult days, happy days... Everything. With the help of God, with the help of families and friends or even strangers. 


... It doesn't have direct correlation with love. Everything I've talked before, but somehow explaining it with this topic sounds more understandable. 


Well, sometimes I'm too afraid for being on my own, like you can say being single. 

Although when I'm doing something I can say that I can do it on my own. I can go to the hospital by myself, going to supermarket alone, McD time on my own, or hanging out at a cafe with one cup of coffee (read:I'm alone).

Let's say that I don't hate being alone but it's more awesome if I can do everything I like with someone special. 


... Yet, sometimes I also don't want to be in a situation where I can't become myself, not so sure about my own self, or afraid of serious relationship. 


By the way, I'm sure that everyone has their own struggles, some might have the same thoughts as mine, and it's okay isn't to not rushing everything, just because we want to be like somebody elses? 


It's my own journey of finding my other half.  There will be the time when I will finally say, "It's worth a wait!! "


Maybe right now your journey is about you. 

 

Yes darling, Maybe your journey now is not about love. Maybe right now your journey is about you. Maybe this is a season you are being challenged to be your own savior. 

To be your own safe place. Maybe right now you are being reminded that the people who walked away were only ever leading you back to yourself. Were only ever leading you here. 



And here, you are okay on your own. You're rebuilding. 

Here you're adapting and mending and reclaiming all of the pieces you let them walk away with. 

Here, you are being kinder to your soul. 

You're giving yourself the same kind of love you have always given to others. 

Here, you are not rushing your heart. 

You are not depending on another human being to fix it. Instead, here, you are doing that on your own. 

Here, you are healing. [cr: @rainbowsalt]



And... The lessons to be learned. 

I'm not going to rush anything. 

I'm not going to stress out or worry about how things will work out for me. Instead of overthinking, I will align my faith with divine timing and trust that everything that belongs in my life is making its way towards me right now. I know that the universe will deliver. In the meantime, I'll continue to get better and evolve so I can make room for new energy to enter my life.

Where Flowers Blooms so does Hope
April 07, 2023 2 Comments


桜梅桃李 
Ou.bai.to.ri




We may often wondering that some may have already achieved certain goals or reached significant milestones, while others may still be in the process of discovering their path or working towards their aspirations. 

... and it seems this is what I often think about.

This ancient Japanese idiom, 桜梅桃李Oubaitori, comes from the kanji for the four trees that bloom in spring: cherry blossom, plum, peach, and apricot. 

Through this idiom which symbolizes idea that each individual has their own unique pace and timing for personal growth and achievement, we can learn that individuals also have their own distinct timelines for personal development and success.

Just like four trees which blossom at different times in the spring. 


This concept also encourages patience, self-acceptance, and honoring the individual journey. 

This also help us to understand that it's important to allow ourselves to bloom and flourish in our own time


So that we don't need comparing ourselves to others or feeling pressured by external expectations. 

As Allah has placed goodness in every of your delays. "Everything beautiful takes time to bloom."

The arrival of cherry blossoms also symbolizes the fleeting nature of life, urging us to appreciate the present moment and find comfort in the transient beauty that surrounds us. 

I also found a Quote by Murasaki Shikibu, 

      "Yes, the cherry trees put this truth very plainly: none of the glory of blossoms and autumn leaves lasts long in this fleeting world."


Plants endure harsh weather conditions and challenging circumstances. 

Just like the way humans face trials and tribulations. 

Yet, when we witness the first signs of floral life, it ignites a spark within usーa glimmer of optimism and resilience. 


These flowers blossom just like a new hope. 

A hope to those who have suffered to be strong and faithful, 

because it's just like stages of life, we sometimes need to go through the hard moments, to help us grow. 

To become better than our version before.


Be optimistic!
You are doing great and you are blooming at your own pace!! 🌸
