Sebelum bertemu kamu, aku bahkan tak tahu bahwa aku punya sayap.

Something opens our wings
Something makes boredom and hurt disappear
Someone fills the cup in front of us
We taste only sacredness

– taken from Rumi’s Something Opens Our Wings, A Year of Rumi –

Kamu tidak mengajariku bagaimana caranya terbang. Kamu hanya mengajariku untuk percaya. Dan sisanya adalah masa lalu.

I haven't been writing a lot these past two years. I haven't been sharing a lot as well. I didn't have the mental capacity to do so. Moving to Amsterdam during the pandemic—with lockdowns and curfews, far from friends and families, didn't sit well with me. I was sad most of the time. Angry, other 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.
