Kita adalah semacam bioluminescence dalam garis-garis kehidupan yang saling bersilangan. Kadang cahayamu remang, cahayaku terang. Atau sebaliknya. Dalam gelap, kita saling mencari secercah masing-masing. Memicingkan mata pada rindu yang membuncah dan membuat kita resah.

Aku bergerak secara oscillasi menujumu. Cinta kita adalah semacam polarisasi optik terhadap silang emosi yang tarik-menarik. Semua yang indah akan nampak seperti titik-titik cahaya yang kau lihat dari balik pelupuk mata yang basah. Semuanya seperti pecah sekaligus rekat. Seakan jauh sekaligus dekat.

Kita tunduk pada hukum Snellius: seperti sudut datang dan sudut bias pada cahaya yang melalui batas antara dua medium isotropik berbeda. Kamu. Dan aku. Di tengahnya, ada kita.

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.
