Dear future daughter

Of all the places we could be, there is nowhere better, safer, more peaceful than our mother’s arm. Being a mother isn’t easy, I suppose. Hard choices had to be made, sacrifices had to be done, just for the sake of their children. We found ourselves fall in love with them, over and over again. Our strong, beautiful mother. May they always be in God’s grace.

 

Dear future daughter

 

Dear future daughter

I shall never let you cry

But I must

Because that is the only way you'll learn how to be strong

 

Dear future daughter

I shall never let you fall

But I must

Because that is the only way you'll learn how to stand up for yourself

 

Dear future daughter

I shall never let you fail

But I must

Because that is the only way you'll learn that life require efforts

 

Dear future daughter

I shall never let your heart broken

But I must

Because that is the only way you'll learn to know your own worth

 

I do what I must do, child.

To prepare you for anything life might throw at you

 

And trust me,

Whatever it is that you set your mind to,

Whatever wild dreams that you might have,

Believe me that you can achieve any of them

You can achieve every single one of them

 

Because you can even move mountains if you want

You just have to believe in yourself.

You just have to believe in yourself as I believe in you

I believe in you always and forever

 

A.K, 2020.

Written in the middle of corona virus pandemic. Home-bound but never been more grateful, for I am able to see what a strong, beautiful and amazing woman my mother is.

The city of Malacca

I always love photography and this  piqturesque city is just a great fit for me. With its rich history and the red square that’s very touristy, this walkable city  is one of UNESCO’s world heritage;  along with Penang and its George  Town famous mural on the wall. Oh thank God my place is near this beautiful little town. It’s my third time here and  still, an all time favorite all in all. This time I’m here with hubby, hoping  next time we’ll be back with baby. Pretty sure he’ll enjoy this city  just as much as mommy. The vibrant color, its laidback atmosphere with beautiful lights show all over the city is really one to die for. This city has pulse, so alive in its own way. The city that instantly & completely feels  like home. I hope, oh I hope each of you also  has one particular city that hold your heart forever, I hope you find your  own home away from home.

The House

The house is the perfect copy of our old house. That’s why it’s very precious to me. Its front, the layout, the stairs, the room arrangements, down to the balcony. The place where both of my grandparents were still healthy. I’ve been missing him since yesterday, you know. And it didn’t dissipate until today, it gets worse. I hope he’s okay there. By this time I know that once someone is gone, you really never see them anymore. Not even in your dream. And I started to lose any ideas of how to see him, when his old photos begin to blur just as much as the memory. We miss you, Angku. We miss you so much and we don’t know how to deal with it.  I hope life after life treats you good. The only thing that we can give to you now is our prayer and our never ending love.  Please, can you just visit me in my dream from time to time? I’m just missing you a lot and it might’ve lessen the pain a little bit. We love you, Angku. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 11 Juli 2025. Hari Jumat, pukul...

Laughter in The Fire

There’s this laughter in the fire So amazingly free, it baffles everyone who see. “Does she have no worries?” Everyone asked. Oh but she did, darling. She just choose to laugh her heart out in that moment of fire. For the fire’s too pretty, Too fierce to be weight by our past and present worries. Tomorrow we’ll have all day of everyday to get back to that. But for now, let’s just laugh with no worries. For we need that laugh to keep us going. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 21 Mei 2025.
