Jika demikian, biarkanlah. Hati yang sudah pecah pun bisa dikumpulkan kepingannya. Lalu kepingan-kepingan berwarna-warni itu bisa ditempelkan pada sebuah stoples kue yang tutupnya sudah hilang, kemudian dijadikan vas bunga—untuk meletakkan seikat bunga matahari. Bunga-bunga itu akan nampak lucu, membuat ruangan yang paling suram sekalipun akan terlihat sedikit unyu.

Maka, jika kita adalah kata-kata, jadikanlah kita segala yang menghadirkan hangat. Seperti semangkuk ketupat dan opor ayam di atas meja.

– hari ini, tepat seminggu setelah Idul Fitri –

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.
