Sinar matahari dan selimut yang ditarik-tarik. Salak anjing. Lompatan-lompatan kecil. Kibasan ekor. Cepat. Begitu bersemangat melihat saya akhirnya membuka mata. Pagi hari. Rambut yang awut-awutan. Saya bahkan belum mandi. Atau sikat gigi. Tapi dia sudah cukup senang. Menandak-nandak bersemangat. Kemudian melesat mengambil boneka beruangnya. Ditaruh di atas kaki saya. Lalu ia menandak-nandak lagi. Mengantisipasi saat ketika saya memutuskan meraih bonekanya itu. Melemparkannya jauh-jauh. Dan ia akan berlari sekencang-kencangnya, kuku-kukunya membuat suara ketak-ketik di atas lantai. Lalu ia datang lagi. Boneka beruang di mulut kecilnya. Diletakkan di dekat kaki saya. Lompatan-lompatan kecil dan salak itu lagi…

Seandainya manusia bisa sejujur itu ketika hatinya bilang: “I need you. I want you. Keep me company.”

The view from De Klok
I took another digital detox this weekend—I limited myself to a 5-minute screen time on Saturday and Sunday to quickly check my business account. I closed my social media account for the rest of the days.

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.

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.
