The Ferris Wheel

Life is about chances you’ll never get back (Dawson’s Creek)

Ferris WheelThe guy you’re with (or the guy you fall into at a certain period of time) describes who you are, the emotional state you are in; and portrays in which stages you are in life.

I’ve come to the day when I realized that I don’t want a roller-coaster ride. That I’m tired of the emotional ups-and-downs, or an endless love-and-hate relationship, and I no longer fall for jerks or bad boys in the name of (mythical) ‘opposite attraction’.

At this stage of my life, I just want to be in a Ferris wheel.

The ups-and-downs were certain–it runs in such a smooth cycle that you don’t fall into pieces or scream like a mad woman. It’s still and calm, soothing and relaxing. And the more similarities I share with the guy I’m with, the more comfortable the relationship would be.

  4. but that roller coaster ride is what we called “life”, Han.. It’s unpredictable, full of surprise. I thought life with that ferris wheel ride would be boring :mrgreen:

    1. @chic: there were times in my life when I (actually, until a few weeks ago, I have always) wanted that roller coaster ride. but what I need (and want) at the moment is the still and relaxing Ferris wheel, with its less-chaotic ups-and-downs. maybe I’ve had enough of those unpredictability and surprises (both pleasant and non-pleasant ones). and at this stage of my life, I just wanna chill…

  8. … of course, it’ll be a bit ‘boring’ compared to the roller coaster. you’ll need time to adjust to the speed πŸ™‚

    but from my personal experience, it’s not a problem at all :D. i’m enjoying my ferris wheel now!

Writing 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.

On Standing Up for Yourself

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 lifeβ€”one word at a time.
