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.

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.
