29th birthday of the husbando

Something threw me out today. I’ve been with

my husband since I was 25 so that was like,

4 years of my time already? Really?

How come something feels so fleeting,

so unbelievably comforting and

loving at the same time?

There’s never really a time when I did not feel

grateful to have him as my companion

(of course he does have his flaws but

it’s only for my eyes to see &

my ears to hear, right?)

He’s the most amazing; laid back and just,

the funniest person ever.

He studies hard, he works hard and he loves

even harder. He adapts well to literally anything

life threw at him. I’m so glad I’m on the front row

seat to watch him grow, and blissful enough to

grow alongside him.

That great person once doubt that he

himself would not be able to be close to his

children, the one thing that I will zealfully deny

because I observe first hand what kind of a father he is.

He’s the father whose child come into his embrace

on the small hours of the night then soothe

the child back to sleep.

He’s the father that we’re so

proud of, for everything that he is.

Happy birthday, papa! We love

you forever 💛💛💛

The Family Who Read

I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books. So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...

Label-free

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart...

Learn to Let Go

Let go; letting go : “An act of letting go; to free yourselves from self-destructive things. Be it a thought, a person, a feeling and anything of the sorts. To make peace with yourself.” Letting go of someone or something truly is not an easy task, so easy to say yet extremely difficult to do. I just had a very tough day as me and my friend shouldered something we shouldn’t have. We got caught up in the middle of something so bad, which may affect our future (in a bad way, of course). A “bad luck”, so to say. We’re just some unlucky dude who got involved in some unlucky event, basically just being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Same old story. And so I got home, bursting my anger to an (also) unlucky friend of mine and sure enough, I ended up regretting what I did later. As my head start to think more c...
