I wasn’t looking for anything at all—let alone anything spectacular, but then I met you.  It wasn’t like in a Hollywood movie, not at all. The moment you walked in, things didn’t move in slow motion. You didn’t shine in a heavenly way. No romantic songs in the background, no violin, no piano, no acoustic guitar, and no butterflies in my stomach.

We spent the day talking about the most trivial things. I wasn’t much of a talker, but you got me going. I realized that it was one of those rare moments, when I could talk freely about the most unimportant stuff and feel absolutely fine with it. It was those kind of moments when you wished you had more time…

When we parted that day, I wasn’t expecting for anything at all—let alone anything spectacular, but then I found myself, missing you.

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.
