Perspective Diversity



   I love watching movies and discussing it with my friend. I often asked them, “What do you think of that movie?” my friend A replied, “I admire how the casts act. They were so great. I still couldn’t believe how she could absorb all of the complexity of that character of hers and acted it out. It leaves me speechless.” And then B added “It’s really cool how they made the cinematography. It was so well-thought, well-done and great. It still leaves me wondering how they can take that particular scene from that angle. It must’ve been hard but it paid off, nevertheless. It was brilliant.” Then C also added some spice into the game, to which he said “I’m really curious about their editing. How can they make such great movie? I wonder where do they learn to edit movie to become like that?”

 That event enable me to conclude this one thing : even from watching the same movie, every single one of us is looking at it from a different point of view. One from its acts, one from its cinematography, one from its editing and myself saw a film from its story-plot.

Well, for starter, if all of us were focusing on the story-plot only, the other aspects will go ashtray, right? No one wants to watch a bad movie, no matter how great the story-plot is. The actors and actresses have to be great along with the execution of the whole movie. The cinematography, special effects, editing and everything. All of them have to support one another to make one great movie. That’s why perspective diversity is so important. We need that difference in perspective. Those perspectives complete each other so we’ll able to grasp its big picture.

TEDtalk on “Helpful advice for aspiring writers of all ages” once said that no one else sees the world quite the same way as you do, so share your unique perspective. The main reason of me making this blog is I want to share my perspective with all of you. Some may agree, some may not. And it’s okay. My perspective, my way of seeing things doesn’t have to be your way of seeing things too.

Because none of us is the same, right?

A Letter to My Baby

I want you to see, baby. I want you to see that we’re just a human as much as anybody. That Mama sometimes cry and a little sappy, that she might even cry when she’s angry. Your Papa is generally funny but  he might be quiet when he’s worry. We love hard & play hard but of course we still fight, we talk good and do good but mistakes will still be made. I want you to know that it is okay to be mad when you’re angry; to be sad when you’re lonely, to be jelly, to feel icky and to  experience any emotions other  than feeling happy. Sometimes people still smile even when they do not feel so smiley. It’s the thing people do for many reasons, really. They are just complex with all of their story. And we human often are difficult with feelings, but it is always good to let things out than to bottled it up. Because the explosion might not be pretty. So please just be kind to everyone, baby. Because we all deserve of being loved just as much as everybody. The messiness, the cra...

The soft orange wall

There’s a nice glow from the room outside. It was warm, inviting, pretty. Ever so beautiful like we live in the golden hour, all time glow. I hope the new room will bring new adventure to baby. With its soft orange colored wall,  surrounded with toys that he likes and people that he loves. I hope he’ll grow as warm as his new wall.  Bold but not too bold; brave but not too brave, only enough. Enough to make people sit & feel comfortable with him and his presence.  The wall is cautious, warm & beautiful. An instant homely feelings will be felt when you take your first step into the room.  I hope, oh I hope that room will always remind him of home. I hope it will always remind him of us.  Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 27 Maret 2025. Hari Kamis, pukul 10 pagi.

The Family Who Read

         I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books.           So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...
