Dear Nadia

Dear Nadia,

I would like to present this post for your birthday, xoxo.

On your special day, I really wish for your health, never ending wealth, your caring and adorable soul, your patience, your inside and outside beauty, your endless charm and grace, your wildest thoughts, your beast mind, your fearless energy, your fierce words, and for your happiness.

Please stay the same.

Always be the Nadia that I know, forever. (Well, you could change for the better version of you, of course. But don't loose yourself for someone's sake, okay?)

Always be the stylish girl in boots that I adore. Wear anything that suits you well! Red coat, black stockings, dark green blazer, golden rings, braided hair, who cares?! To me, you're always beautiful inside and outside.

Knowing you is still a precious thing to me, I'd never imagined that now I can chat you whenever I wanted to. Once we were stranger... I've thought that you were kind of arrogant girl, but now I know that was wrong.

Though, you are quite sometimes, I could feel your caring and loving. The way you treat your inner circle, the way you embrace us, I would like to say thank you for cheering me up when I was down.

To the person who told me that I am matters and loved, I want to remind you that sometimes you need to rely on people, because world is a mean-cruel-shit place to be faced alone. I want you to trust me, because I could give you a hand to hold on, a warm embrace, and a shoulder to cry on. Trust issue, confidence, anxiety, are things that we must defeat, lol.

You have me on your side, remember that. I am glad that I have you here in the college, and I can not accept about your moving (imagining your absence while you're away in the other island bother me, a lot). I know we rarely meet at college, but your presence is my other source of strenght. I really want us to be bestfriend, Nadia. What shall I do if my introvert twin is moving away?

I am not the good type of friend, I am sorry if I did something horrible to you, Nadia. I am sorry if maybe you're feeling get left behind, or forgotten... I'd never meant to.

Once again...

Happy birthday my dear, Nadia!

See you when I see you. (Padahal bentar lagi ketemu)

the 10 Years Journey of a Lover Girl

Because I know, there are not many people that read my blog as it used to be... I feel safe to write a personal thought here. About love, that shaped me into who I am today. It all began in July 2015, I was only 17 years old goin on 18. It was my first time in my uni pre-class, I thought we had a seminar at auditorium back then. I walked directly into the venue, and I saw him seating on the highest row. He wore navy long-shirt, black curly hair that seemed too long for a man, and a black glasses. I sat on the second row, directly below him. Alone. I took a glance at him, and found he sat with his friend. After the seminar, I forgot how it went... but I found myself talking to his friend, the one who sat beside him. He stood there too. I remember looking at his eyes, and it was the moment I felt as if the time stopped ticking. I prayed to God, "ya Allah, if this is Your will, please let me find him again on our next encounter." A month later, He answered my prayer. It was in A...

Intermezzo: Naif atau Bodoh?

Andai dunia itu nggak sesulit yang kita rasakan, ya. Dunia itu nggak baik bukan karena 'dunia' itu sendiri kan? Tapi karena manusianya. Dunia menjadi kejam karena ulah mereka yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Orang-orang yang mengenal saya mengatakan jika ada batas tipis antara naif dan bodoh di dalam diri saya. Terlalu lugu untuk melihat ini semua, tetapi sebenarnya bodoh karena tidak mengerti apa-apa. Saya bersyukur, karena saya dikelilingi oleh orang-orang yang melindungi saya agar tetap menjadi diri saya yang sekarang. Maksudnya, seperti bunga lotus yang tidak akan pernah kotor walaupun hidup di kolam berlumpur. Mereka, teman-teman saya, tetap menjaga saya seperti itu. Namun, ada kalanya saya harus sendiri. Pertemanan itu nggak harus selalu bersama-sama, cukup sirat hati yang menyatukan ikatan pertemanan. Nah, ketika saya sendiri itu lah saya merasa... bodoh. Maksudnya, saya sering melakukan kecerobohan. Mungkin, apa karena saya terlalu dilindungi mereka? "Dia itu adala...

Newborn, Decade, Lifeless

I thought I'm finally free. From the relationship that makes me insecure, overthinking, emotional, overwhelmed, and drained. But I was wrong. Kun fayakun. In Islam, we were taught about it. I never expected that it would actually happened to me in such a short time. I found myself getting pregnant again back in October 2024. The fetus was already inside my body since August 2024. I felt my world ruined. Again. Deeper than before. I'm not ready for a second child. Especially in a relationship that I don't feel secure. I almost set myself free. Almost. Almost. Almost. Kun fayakun . With all the circumstances, cries, and sleepless nights, I finally gave birth to a beautiful baby named Melodie in May 2025. Do I feel happy? Yes. Do I feel blessed? Yes. Ironically, I know this is not where I belong, so he is. We basically together because of undeniable condition, where we have to raise our children together. Maybe that's why we always fight, and can't respect each other...

Life Update from a 26 yo Woman

Sudah beberapa tahun terakhir ini aku tidak bisa menulis ataupun melukis apapun. Hidupku terasa datar, tidak ada hal lagi yang membuatku merasa senang (kecuali kehadiran anakku, Hagia). Tidak ada hal lagi yang bisa menginspirasi aku. Entah sudah sebanyak apa aku membeli peralatan lukis, buku catatan lucu yang banyak, namun tetap semuanya hanya berupa lembaran kosong hingga hari ini. Sampai semalam, aku kembali mencoba membaca seluruh postingan di blog ini, dimulai dari tulisan pertamaku di tahun 2012. Ternyata, ada begitu banyak kenangan manis, sedih, marah, kecewa yang aku tuliskan di dalam sini. Aku tumbuh dan berkembang di dalam blog ini, beberapa cerita kehidupan remajaku ada di dalam sini. Sebagai orang yang mudah melupakan kenangan-kenangan yang ada, membaca tulisanku sendiri membuatku merasa.... kembali hidup. Entah berapa banyak aku jatuh cinta, sakit hati, jatuh cinta, sakit hati, jatuh cinta lagi, dengan pria yang berbeda Orang-orang di dalam hidupku tidak begitu bertambah ba...

Self Reflection

I haven't wrote anything. But will try to write... again. 4 tahun yang lalu, gue menuliskan tentang masa-masa menjadi maba (mahasiswa baru) yang baru saja selesai melaksanakan PKKMB. Hari ini, beberapa teman angkatan 2015 sudah melaksanakan wisuda. Gue belum, semoga tahun depan mendapatkan giliran. Aamiin... Btw , entah mengapa pukul segini memang enak untuk menjadi sendu. Bukan sendu dalam konotasi negatif, tetapi cenderung ke arah positif. Tiba-tiba, jadi mengenang apa saja yang terjadi selama 4 tahun belakangan ini. Masa-masa di mana gue melepas seragam putih-abu, dan menggantinya dengan pakaian bebas. Malam ini menjadi sebuah renungan terhadap diri sendiri, atas apa yang telah dicapai, kesalahan, kebahagiaan, pertemanan, dan lain sebagainya. Katanya, kuliah adalah masa terakhir sebelum menghadapi dunia nyata. Katanya, semakin kita dewasa, kita cenderung menjadi realistis... mematikan cita-cita di dalam diri. Mematikan jiwa anak-anak yang ada di dalam hati. ...
