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 –

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.
