The Little Women

Hello! I am Nanda, a 24 years old from Indonesia. Please allow me to share my story and I hope I can be like all of you, I hope I can inspire even one people to take the leap, and finally walk into the sunset of their dream  I have been a writer for as long as I remember. But not until last October I finally had my courage to take writings to another level. I decided to make my own blog. Besides poetry, the blog also consists writings about life, relationship, self-improvement, family and the likes. At first I kept being anxious about what'll happen if people do not fancy my writings, etc etc. But I brace myself and keep writing anyway. And guess what? My fear remained as fear, it does not become action of any kind, no bad comment, no disheartening response, nothing. Nothing happened. I realized that I'm not everyone's cup of tea and that is okay. Some people might like my writing, some people might not. The one who loves it will always support me, anyway. Now I

Pada Satu Waktu   Bila hidup ini adalah sebuah perjalanan,  maka biarlah perjalanan tersebut menjadi jawaban dari pertanyaan.   Tidak perlu terburu-buru, Tidak usah meratap sendu,   Karena jawaban itu akan muncul sendiri di depan pintumu, Pada satu waktu.   Waktu yang menurut-Nya paling tepat untukmu.   Waktu yang akan datang saat menurut-Nya kau sudah mampu, Saat kau sudah kuat untuk menanggung beban dunia tersebut di bahu-mu.   Percayalah kepada alam, kepada bunga, kepada angin, hujan dan hutan.   Percayalah kepada Tuhan.   Karena Ia takkan pernah tinggalkan kita,    karena Ia cinta kita,  dan karena Ia hidup di hati kita,  untuk selama-lamanya.   - anandakhai, Pekanbaru, 28 Juli 2020. 11am.  

Tidak ada salahnya   Tidak ada salahnya bermimpi, Selama mimpi itu dibarengi dengan aksi.   Tidak ada salahnya memiliki cita, Selama cita tersebut tidak hanya sekedar kata.   Tidak ada salahnya mencoba, Karena hasil tak akan khianati usaha.   Tidak ada salahnya bahagia, Selama hal itu menyenangkan jiwa,   Membasuh raga dengan tawa, Dan menghanyutkan kita dalam suka cita.   Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 25 Juli 2020. 10pm.    photo courtesy of google.com)

Girl Like Flower   For a girl is very much like flower, Down to the very bit of her core.   For she blooms in her own time In her own way She blooms in her own unique, beautiful way   For she can be compared to no one, And no one only. For she belongs to herself, And herself only.   For she is as beautiful as she always is, And always will be.   For she shines even brighter than ever by being who she is, For forever, And ever.   Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 24 Juli 2020. 8am.  (photo courtesy of pinterest.com)

Tentang Bahagia   Apakah bahagia hanya melulu mengenai suka? Apakah bahagia hanya melulu mengenai cinta? Apakah tidak ada bahagia di dalam duka? Apakah tidak ada bahagia dibalik luka?   Mindset itulah yang salah tentang bahagia   Karena bahagia tidak melulu tentang cinta, Bahagia tidak melulu tentang melupakan duka, Bahagia tidak melulu tentang menghapus luka.   Bahagia bisa tentang keluarga, Tentang cita-cita, Bahagia juga bisa tentang kita. Kita yang bukan hanya merupakan sebuah keluarga.   Kita adalah sekumpulan orang dengan berbagai asa, Sekumpulan orang yang saling berbagi cita-cita, Sekumpulan orang dengan sebuah tali persahabatan yang sangat berharga adanya.   Bahagia itu bukan tentang “apa” dan “siapa”, Bahagia itu adalah kita, Bahagia itu, tentang kita.   Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 21 Juli 2020. 11pm.  

O beautiful mind O beautiful mind How is it that you think your today will be like? In what ways do you want yours to unfold? What journey that you wanted it to be? What story that you wish it will be?   O beautiful mind Did you know that we, human, in particular Operate in such incredible and amazing ways?   For we can shape how we want our "today" will be like For we can manage our entire lives, down to the hour of every day.   For we are capable to think, to feel, to arrange, to re-arranged our days. For we are more than capable to live the life that we want.   For we are the maker of our own story. "The plan is ours; but God decides" people says. Sure. But again, the plan is ours. We are free to organize our days whatever we like. How-ever we want.   We are free to choose our books, our musics, our habits, our performances. We are free to choose our future,  We are free to choose our lives. With pressure from no
