LightYou don’t run with the crowd, you go on your own way, you don’t play after dark, you light up my day. Got your own kind of style that sets you apart. Baby, that’s why you captured my heart.

I know sometimes you feel like you don’t fit in. And this world doesn’t know what you have within. When I look at you I see something rare: a rose that can grow anywhere, and there’s no one I know that can compare.

What makes you different makes you beautiful. What’s there inside you shines through me. In your eyes I see all the love I’ll ever need. What makes you different makes you beautiful to me.

You’ve got something so real, you touched me so deep. The material things don’t matter to me. So come as you are, you’ve got nothing to prove. You won me with all that you do, and I wanna take this chance to say to you:

“You don’t know how you’ve touched my life. Oh, there are so many ways, I just can’t describe. You taught me what love is supposed to be. It’s all the little things that made you beautiful to me.”

Everything in you is beautiful, love you give shines right through me. Everything in you is beautiful to me…

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.
Hanny illustrator
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.
