The Little Women

  On the path of discovery, I realize that it won’t always look like one. It may even look like something that leads to another thing, then another thing leads to the other thing. It will complicate, it will question and confuse us so;  the path will lead you elsewhere, then nowhere ‘til eventually it will lead you somewhere.  But the roundabouts & u-turns will be worth it in the end, I assure you. It might not seem worthwhile at first  but then it will be— by good delay (and detours) What we need and have to do is just trust it. Put your trust on the path of discovery, And be ready to discover. So how about you, what is it like on your path of discovery? Ananda Khaira Azizah,  Pekanbaru, October 27th 2026.

How about a red on red? Will it be something that you like? Will it present you, or present who you want to be? Red is a brave color, people say. But what people don’t say is that it’s a pretty,  pretty color. That’s why roses are red. It is intense, it is passionate, it is beautiful. Sometimes I wear red to “feel” red, especially on blue days. Somehow red makes the day a little better and me a little braver. So that’s my take about red on red, what’s yours?

It’s a bubble, indeed. This world we’re living in. Two big bubbles grew their little ones, then them little bubbles will meet and interact with one another. Bubbles to bubbles. Some bubbles might like each other,  and some may not. Some bubbles will bicker then fight, then learn how make up. And some bubbles simply attracted to each other, instant build-in best friend. Them bubbles interacts. Them bubbles experience things. Them bubbles will go through heartbreaks, rejections & delights. So dear God, may my bubble stay healthy & stay well, may he grounds his soil with good seed and reap good results. God speed! Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, September 18th 2026.

Have you ever gotten tired of living in colors? Or sounds, for that matter. Black and white may be too contrast and a little bold but perhaps grey gives you just the exact comfort. As someone who writes I find joy in solitude, when the things I hear are fork clinks against my plates and bustle of busy bees in the outer world. Sometimes I also hear rays of sunshine gleam through surfaces. I believe that things have sounds of their own, silence included. To me, silence and solitude color like sunshine.  That still, beautiful silence that the only thing you witness is peace, when your mind is finally quiet and everything is right in the world. So what about you? What color matter most to you, and why? Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, September 30th 2026. Written at 3am on a Wednesday.

There are kisses on the timeframe Shared in secret, celebrate in silence. Until it’s time to announce. The engagement, the wedding, the due date; then the celebratory gets bigger, and bigger still. It goes way ‘til later, late in life. When you celebrate each other still, When you cheer for one another still, When you share those secret kisses and the secret laughs, still. Those are the times when you know  that you’ve won big in life. That you have no partner; but bestfriend. You have no relationship; but deep connections. You have no love;  but adorations. That you are two, and two are one. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, June 28th 2026. Written at 8am on a Sunday.

Child birthday is today, and he will celebrate his in the most amazing way. With beloved friends and family at school in one day & amazing teachers that will help him in every step of the way. Please, take good care of my boy like we take care of him. Pray for him like we pray for him & dance with him like we dance with him.
