Welcome to Wonderland




“Nothing around here is quite as it seems
Not sure if anything's real or a dream
And the only thing sure from the start
Is the song that's inside of your heart
Don't let it leave”
Welcome to wonderland – Anson Seabra
         
          The “wonderland” that I’ll be talking in this script is about the wonderland of your dreams. My junior once asked me about my writings, “Where did you get your inspiration? How can you make such writings, a lot of them, even, in a brief period of time?” And I replied, “I get my inspiration from anything, from anywhere. It could be from my own past experiences, some words in a book that I like, a fraction of lyrics, movies or anything. And believe me, the more books that you have read, more movies that you've watched, more writings that you’ve done, and many songs that you've listened to will contribute to your ideas, it will makes your words flow like a river. Instantly.”

          It’s true. I often do that. I listened to a song, I conversed with my friends, and suddenly an idea popped in my head. Things get better if I write all of that down right away, though. But if it’s not, the idea will come back to me sooner or later, it always does. But one thing that I must do is I have to write that idea down, so I have the gist of what I want to write, at the very least. I can always develop and finish that idea later.

          Like Anson Seabra said on his “Welcome to Wonderland” that the only thing that is sure from the beginning is the song that you have inside of your heart, you should never let it fade away, ever. Hold your dream real tight, in your heart, and never let it go. No matter how dumb or how weird your dream might sound. I have a dream for my blog to be published in the form of a book, honestly. I have that one specific big dream in my heart, and I hold it close to me.

          So, welcome to wonderland! The place where you’ll find your wildest, most discrete, most joyful dream ever. May you have the best time of your life! And remember, everyone that leaves has a heavy heart. O Wonderland, I love.

  1. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claw that catch."

    My mind is full of 'beware' Nan, sometimes it's become out of control somehow 😅.
    In my most 'Jabberwock' moment, I sublimate, I do journaling too.

    "One two! one two! And through and through.
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!"
    Typing or writing, my pen or qwerty is my 'vorpal blade', 'snicker-snacking' my own evil.

    "He left it dead, and with its head.
    He went galumphing back."
    After finish and reread, dayum, that's a lot of 'blood' there, I learn a lot by your writing, especially the neutrality, mine is so much affect dominant and unfeasible by public.

    Keep it going, chase your dream Nan!

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.
