By all means, write!


Write, to write :
          To compose, to arrange words into sentences and send (a letter, a thought) to someone.”

          Haemin Sunim’s has a saying on his “Love for Imperfect Things” book that implies something like this : if you ever hear a voice-any voice that says you can’t write, then by all means, write!

          John C. Maxwell also explains about the law of diminishing intent on his “The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth” book which said that the longer you wait to do something you want to do, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it. He also said that “later” is one of those dream killers so because I don’t want my dream to be killed thus I write this blog. No JK, I just have this dream of writing for a long time already and I realize that now is the time for me to start doing it instead of just “planning” all along. I begin “mind-mapping”, shaping my way into it but first of all, I start to take writing seriously. I asked people for feedback, I start to read many books as a material for my writings, I set aside my time to write. I stay at home. Thankfully my study time is at dawn so it doesn’t hinder anything.

          Writing has been a part of me since 2016. I wrote almost everyday. It started off as a diary-just like everyone, then I developed my love for poetry so I wrote lots of them. Then all of these motivation-filled books started to emerge and I found it to my liking,so I start to write any article of that kind.

         Writing calms me. Pouring my heart and thoughts into sentences satisfies me. It soothe me like nothing ever could. I also write when I’m upset or even angry, and those feelings dissipate instantly. All gone in a blink of an eye. It made me feel better.

          One of the feedback that I appreciate the most was the one my senior said to me. I sent my writings to him, and he said to me “I understand your point, but I couldn’t recognize some of the words that you use there. Some of the word structures were unfamiliar, yet strangely interesting. How could you produce such sentences? You must have been writing for a long time already, haven’t you? Because that kind of things can only be written by a long-time writer.” such compliment came from my senior whom I know the most that he himself is an avid reader, so he should not be that unfamiliar with word structures. Well, I read-watched movies-and wrote a lot too, so all three combined makes me who I am today.

A keen writer.

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...

Forever Safe

You’re forever safe in our arms, darling. No  matter how bleak the day we’ve had Or how difficult our day’s been going through. When you cry, let us cry with you, When you laugh, let us laugh with you, When you’re happy let us be happy for you, And when you’re sad let us come to you. Because presence and emotions are essential for growth, baby. Both for your growth, and ours. So let us try to talk our way out, pour our hearts out and just, simply being there for each other, alright? We love you just as much as we love ourselves (if it’s not even bigger) You truly are the best part of us & forever the very best part of me. Pa & Ma loves you, baby. Xoxo.

Year 2 of baby’s life

Oh it is year 2 of baby’s life. It certainly has been filled with so many butterflies. Even though there’s still so many cries, oh it is ever  an achievement that no one can denies! Happiest birthday, my dear boy. May you walk this earth with a humble  heart & an open mind. May you be true to yourselves and speak truth to your world. May you be brave & be strong for whatever  lies ahead and may you be kind and be generous on life; and on yourself. May you take care of you as well as you take care of others. Oh my humble, brave; my kind little one. You’re forever my favorite person, you’re forever in my heart. With love, mama. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 3 Agustus 2025. Hari Minggu, pukul 1 siang.
