Know Your Name



"If it’s a broken part, replace it
 If it’s a broken arm, then brace it
 If it’s a broken heart, then face it
 Hold your own
 Know your name
 And go your own way"


Details in the fabric – Jason Mraz

(https://youtu.be/MA5vR_f34hA)

I have no idea where I had been this whole time, for I only knew this incredible song two days ago and it was released in 2008! That lyric hit me the first time I’ve ever heard of it and I knew I must write something-anything about this song. I’m so corny haha but really, I can’t stand good lyrics, plus it also came with such beautiful music as well. Jason Mraz really is the best!

So in this fraction of “Details in the Fabric” lyric he has a very powerful message to share with all of us. That whatever happens, you must know your name, and go your own way. You must overcome anything that put you down. Whether it’s a broken arm, a broken heart, or life itself.

Are you aware of the meaning of “know your name” term? It means that you must know what is the core of your being. Because that “core” is the one that will support you through life, every single time. Who are you outside of your job, your status? I’m a writer to my core. There is never a time when I feel like my time writing is a time wasted. I enjoy every minute of it, and the utter satisfaction that I encountered after. I want to be a blessing to everyone through my writings. That’s why I still set my time aside to write no matter how tired, no matter how packed up my life is.

“Go your own way”, he said. Never be afraid of going your way, though. Because some steps really are meant to be taken alone. Well, for starter, if you always wait for people, you might never go anywhere, right? Because your priority might differ from theirs, your path is dissimilar, your interests might varies, etc etc.

If a door hasn’t been opened for you, then open a new door! Life solution’s often pretty simple, isn’t it? It’s simple only if you have the courage to pursue it. Because opportunity comes to those who fights, not to those who waits. Well, my blog might not be exist ever if I listen to my doubts, right?

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.

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.
