Cinta sendiri adalah sebait puisi yang terlalu panjang untuk dinikmati semalam suntuk dalam sebuah pementasan.

Betapa membosankan melihat cinta dari balik kotak kaca setebal 3 sentimeter dalam sebuah pameran.

Di sekitar saya, atas nama cinta, orang-orang berjalan dengan tangan-tangan terpaut. Menggenggam jari-jemari yang sesungguhnya tak akan pernah mereka miliki. Dan sesungguhnya tak akan pernah bisa mereka mengetahui rahasia-rahasia yang tersembunyi di sela-sela jari-jemari itu meskipun mereka telah menyentuhnya.

Saya bukan kritikus, kolektor, kurator, atau penikmat cinta yang terpajang dalam kotak.

It’s just so damn pathethic.

We tend to shape our memories of them based on the limited time we spend with them—and our memories of them, over time, will be replaced with one single word, one single interaction, or one single feeling.
Beradadisini Love Letter to Self
I took up a personal journaling project this week: writing a love letter to myself before bed. I work on a thin A6-size handmade paper journal I got from a paper artist, Els. The journal is thin and small enough, so it doesn't overwhelm me. It feels like I am only going to work on a small project.

Standing up for yourself does not have to look aggressive. It does not have to feel like a fight. It's not always about convincing others or explaining yourself and your decisions with the hope that everyone else understands or accepts your choice.

Hi. I'm HANNY
I am an Indonesian writer/artist/illustrator and stationery web shop owner (Cafe Analog) based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I love facilitating writing/creative workshops and retreats, especially when they are tied to self-exploration and self-expression. In Indonesian, 'beradadisini' means being here. So, here I am, documenting life—one word at a time.
