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.

This year, I learned to accept the days when I don't feel motivated, tired, or a bit grumpy. I learned to allow myself to sit with this feeling instead of feeling guilty about it and forcing myself to be productive, socialize, or just get things done.

In the end, self-care is not always about doing the things that make us feel good or give us instant gratification. It's also about doing the RIGHT thing: something that is good for us in the long run—even if it may feel hard at times.

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.
