Your soulmate will be so soft and patient with you
“Bahkan ketika kamu hanya menatap langit tanpa suara, Allah tau apa yang kamu maksud”
(QS. Al Isra 25)
لَنْ تَجِدَ فِي النَّاسِ كَامِلًا، فَابْحَثْ عَمَّنْ لَا يُؤْذِيكَ نَقْصُهُ.
"Kamu tidak akan pernah menemukan manusia yang sempurna. Maka carilah orang yang kekurangannya tidak menyakitimu."
أعان الله قلبا تمنى ما ليس مكتوبا له
"Semoga Allah membantu hati yang menginginkan hal yang bukan ditakdirkan untuknya"
إذا ابتليت بالتأخير في أشد ما تتمناه فاصبر ليعطيك الله أكثر مما أردت
Jika kamu diuji dengan tertundanya hal yang paling kamu inginkan, maka bersabarlah..agar Allah memberimu lebih dari apa yang kamu inginkan
مَا عَادَ فِي النَّفْسِ لِلْأَحْلَامِ مُتَّسَعُ قَدْ أَرْهَقَ الْقَلْبَ أَحْبَابِي وَأَعْدَائِي
Tak lagi tersisa ruang dalam jiwa untuk memeluk mimpi-mimpi.
Sebab hatiku telah dibuat letih oleh orang-orang yang kucintai maupun mereka yang memusuhiku.
Malam ini rasanya sendu sekali, dadaku sesak karena menangis terlalu lama dalam keadaan terbaring. Aku ingin menulis sekedar upaya melepas sesak di dadaku.
Bibirku beristighfar tanpa henti agar lekas tenang dan berhenti air mataku.
Selepas melihat dan mendengar nasihat dari Ustadz Syafiq Riza Basalamah hafidzahullah, sekaligus saat beliau akad menikahkan seorang laki laki untuk anak perempuannya.
Aku melihat ada cinta yang begitu lekat dari seorang ayah untuk anak perempuannya. Cinta yang begitu jujur begitu terasa ketika ia menyampaikan baris baris nasihat, ketika ia mengucapkan perlahan akad, menitipkan seutuhnya anak perempuan yang begitu ia cintai kepada seorang laki laki di hadapannya.
Di antara isak tangis yang rasanya telah ia tahan, tapi tetap tumpah juga, aku melihat hati haru yang remuk seorang ayah yang tengah melepas anak perempuannya. Berat, tidak pernah menjadi mudah untuk ayah manapun, tapi mereka ikhlas.
Tak terbayang olehku, akan sehancur apa hati seorang ayah yang melihat anak perempuannya menjadi korban kdrt, akan seberantakan apa hati seorang ayah yang mengetahui anak perempuannya diselingkuhi, lalu pulang kembali kepadanya dalam keadaan luka dan hancur. Seorang ayah akan lebih luka dan hancur dibandingkan anaknya💔
Barakallahu fiihi Ustadz Syafiq Riza Basalamah, seorang ayah yang berhati lembut, masya Allah, setiap kata kata dalam nasihatnya terasa begitu hangat. Dan aku, yang mendengarnya, serasa seperti 'dibela' 😭 Aku yang tidak pernah merasakan nikmatnya dibela seorang ayah, dimengerti seorang ayah dan dilindungi sebegitunya oleh seorang ayah. Sungguh, malam ini mataku penuh dengan air mata. ya Rabbi, izinkanlah aku menghadirkan seorang ayah sebaik beliau untuk anak perempuanku kelak, Allahumma aamiin.
Perhaps this is one of the most beautiful lessons game design has taught me. We begin with probabilities and algorithms, yet somehow arrive at a deeper understanding of why people feel hope, fear, relief, or despair. Numbers do not speak directly to the human heart, but they quietly shape the world that the heart comes to experience.
Do you know what it means to earn just one million rupiah a month?
In many places, it isn't just a number. It means living with an extremely narrow set of choices. It means constantly asking yourself:
"If I buy this today, will I still have enough to eat tomorrow?"
"If I get sick, where will the money come from?"
"If I lose my job, how long can I survive?"
When survival occupies most of your attention, the number of options you can realistically consider becomes much smaller.
Perhaps what becomes smaller isn't just a person's income. What becomes smaller is their perceived decision space.
Objectively, opportunities may still exist—learning a new skill, changing careers, starting a small business, building new relationships, or investing in the future.
But when most of your mental energy is consumed by meeting immediate needs, many of those opportunities begin to feel distant, unrealistic, or even invisible.
This doesn't mean people aren't trying hard enough. Nor is it simply a matter of "mindset." Research in psychology and behavioral economics has shown that persistent scarcity consumes attention and cognitive resources, leaving less capacity to explore long-term possibilities and evaluate alternative courses of action.
Perhaps that's why this words stayed with me:
"Don't choose things that make your world smaller."
Because a smaller life isn't defined only by having less money.
It's also about having fewer possibilities—to learn, to experiment, to fail safely, to rest, to build meaningful relationships, and to imagine a different future.
When someone's financial situation improves, the greatest change isn't always purchasing power. Often, it's the expansion of their decision space.
The ability to say no to an unhealthy job. The freedom to take time to learn. The opportunity to start something new. The capacity to help others without immediately sacrificing one's own stability.
Perhaps that's one of the reasons poverty feels so heavy. Not simply because it reduces income, but because it quietly narrows the space of possibilities from which people are able to make decisions.
Closure
Ternyata, salah satu skill yang perlu dikuasai sebagai manusia dewasa itu adalah memberikan closure yang jelas. No hard feeling, hanya komunikasi asertif. Selamat mengusahakannya.

Bloopers are movie aftercare and it’s fucked up that we got rid of them
And if Allah destined a thing to be for you, it will travel around the world to find you while you are settled in your place.
When everything feels so chaotic, unsorted, unidentified, and rather than giving you time to process each of them, they just keep coming and coming and you're handling too many mixture of thoughts, of emotions, that you have no idea where to start figuring it out,
nangisin aja dulu ga seeeh 💁♀️
“we can fix it together” & “talk to me, what’s wrong?” type of person >>>
nothing hurts more than trying your best and still not being good enough
I might be not Rangga enough to spell some beautiful words for adoring Cinta. I might just be too Sherina to a Saddam, controlling here and there like a bossy annoying bi*tch. But I guess you know, I'll have million parallel lives more than Sore had for Jo, just to show you how much you mean to me, and slap you in your face whenever you became such an idiot.
I used to be so good with words, but they probably right; people start losing their poetic souls when things are safe and steady. But you know, even in my loud and clear words asking you to close any doors you opened, you still didnt listen. Then why would I need to use pretty words anyway 😒
But at least now, let me try.
Lewat sudah pukul dua
Makin banyak bicara kita
Kau semakin merah delima
You know, when a big ship cross over the sea, the waves are running in different ways to finally come back beautifully near the ship all over again. I was that big ship to your (probably 😏) serene but wavy life. I am exactly what you are not, I do exactly what you didnt. You have all the rights to run everywhere but I know, you'll always be near, and beautiful.
I hate arguing but I'll shoot my best ones to state every disagreements we have with that sleepy eyes and tired voices. We could spend more hours discussing silly lines a youtuber said in a video, or planning any strategies to take down a regime, while listening to that chonky cat snoring or that tiny orange firecrackers cat trying to climb the curtain.
You still are the nicest reasons I stay awake late and sleep easy, more than any chamomile tea or magnesium pills can do.
I'm glad you're the wave that crushes back behind the big ferry of my life.
Lewat sudah pukul dua
Merayakan tahun kesekian bersama
Aku semakin mirip kau
I feed you my lunchbox even since I was a stinky messed up teenager, and now I'm not that stinky but still messed up, and still making sure that you dont have your stomach empty, eventhough I hate your picky behaviour when I already am too hungry to have options.
But little did I know, whenever you're not around, I pick my lunch in your way. Protein this, protein that, veggies this, veggies that.
I thought I was doing anything your way because I missed you, or because I want the feeling of being with you all the time, but in fact; I did that because I simply changed, in much better way, since you're around.
I maybe now become the small little ship a fisherman rides to catch fishes, moving slow with the waves, not against the waves.
Sebaliknya
You know, I actually no longer care about whatever form you want to change into. If tomorrow I woken up and you're a butterfly, I'd build a garden out of nowhere so you can fly and try every flowers without anyone trying to cacth or stand in your way. If tomorrow I met you again and you're a giant fckin stone, I'll sit on the hill with you every night, enjoying the views while telling you my day (and you cant interrupt me yay).
Orang sepertimu dan varian macam aku
Dibenturkan jadi satu.
I thank myself I had spent time watching TBBT, because Amy there told Amy here about how to handle a Sheldon. Oh God you're just THAT kind of Sheldon, my kind of Sheldon. No directors would ever think to make a story about two people as much different as us. We're such a perfect antonym, a white to a black, a deep dark night to a sunny sweaty daylight.
I did my trips on group with strangers, I travel here and there with some uncomfortable transportations and strict itinerary. You hate strangers and you hate sweating, I even had to be angry first to wake you you up for a breakfast in a hotel. But I always wait for the next Nyepi trip, the best kind of trip we both enjoy.
And just like the other things that put us so much different, we always find a way. If you're too tired to find one, I'll do. Just sit and wait. And pay.
Ternyata unik, meski berisik
Tapi dari segala sisi, kita menarik
As the big big ships with various kind of noises, smells, visuals, movements, I somehow envy your kind of ocean. Same noise and smells everywhere, maybe sometimes one or two groups of dolphins jump around, or maybe one or two plastics are floating around to make your life a bit of a color.
But I know, you move higher when I am around, and I move faster when you're around. We might not be made perfect for each other forever, but I want to walk side by side with you as long as the time let us to be.
I dont want you to be perfect. I am nowhere near perfect for you, but I try my best to not be your worse. I dont need forever with you. I have no plan to live long, but I try my best to seize the day, as if tomorrow never comes.
Kita jangan jadi tua dan membosankan
Selamanya, janjinya menyenangkan, oh
Years later, you could be nominated in winning a nobel or other geek shits I dont understand. I won't ask for a fame or being noticed in one frame with you, hell no. I just want you to have a place to come back, to be a clueless empty headed human even for a slight minute, so you're charged enough to finally be the man of the game.
I never get tired to remind you this;
you are allowed to be tired, to take a rest, to chill around in between that ambitious asshole behaviour. Go dream big, achive bigger, having piles of new to-do-list everyday, but please breathe. Fly high, but take some times to ground.
And there you'll find me waiting. With new movies or series I put in my watchlist, or new songs I listened recently, or good foods nearby, or nice place to do a short staycation, or some fun concerts and shows to watch.
Or just a long and silent hug to snuggle all day.
Selamanya menyenangkan
Selamanya mengesankan
Selamanya menenangkan
Selamanya menyenangkan
Whatever and whenever we are going to be, we'll make sure we'll have enough fun.
Even of doing nothing
Kalau pun tua, terkadang menyebalkan
Tapi janjinya, selamanya menyenangkan, oh
As long as you're staying, I count that as forever. I have no plan to promise anything, because I'm bad at remembering.
Selamanya menyenangkan
Selamanya mengesankan
Selamanya menyenangkan
Selamanya menyenangkan
Happy birthday, you wavy ocean. Congratulation, you're stuck with me, again.

“Travel brings power and love back into your life.”
— Rumi
menutup babak
banyak orang bilang, butuh keberanian yang luar biasa untuk menutup satu babak dalam hidup kita. sebab, yang menakutkan dan mengkhawatirkan itu tidak hanya mengakhiri, tetapi juga memulai sesuatu yang baru. semuanya penuh dengan ketidakpastian, penuh dengan pertanyaan, penuh dengan perubahan. di mana-mana, tentu perubahan menimbulkan ketidaknyamanan.
kadang keberanian itu perlu dipantik oleh sesuatu yang ada di luar. suatu kejadian besar, suatu pertanda yang nyata, atau sesuatu lain yang memaksa kita. mau tidak mau, suka tidak suka, terima tidak terima.
kadang keberanian itu datang tanpa aba-aba yang benderang. cukup berupa keyakinan yang bertambah-tambah setiap hari. cukup berupa kecenderungan hati. cukup berupa ketiadaan ketakutan dan kekhawatiran lagi.
tapi sini saya beri tahu sesuatu yang lebih mendasar. menutup babak memang memerlukan keberanian, tetapi melakukannya bukan indikator berani atau tidak. kadang tidak menutup babak justru memerlukan keberanian yang lebih besar. kadang, ketakutan, ketidakpastian, dan kekhawatiran justru lebih besar ketika kita bertahan.
kalau kamu punya niat menutup satu babak dalam hidupmu—dan memulai babak yang baru—yang lebih utama adalah bilamana Allah meridhoinya. bilamana jalan itu punya lebih banyak potensi manfaat dan lebih sedikit mudarat (ingat, menghindari mudarat lebih penting daripada mengejar manfaat). bukan hanya untukmu, tetapi juga orang-orang di sekitarmu.
kalau jalan itu adalah jalan yang Allah ridhoi, yakinlah bahwa keyakinan itu akan datang. tak perlu megah. tiba-tiba saja, suatu hari kamu terbangun dan meyakini, “sekaranglah saatnya.”
selamat menutup babak(-babak).
