Surat cinta untuk sahabat

For those loved ones whom I laid my heart upon, right from the start of my college ride up until we’re finally apart. I’ll keep you all safe in my mind always, I’ll hold you close to my heart. For nothing can ever do us part. Thank you for your love, thank you for all of those crazy journeys we’ve had, thank you for everything. It has been my greatest pride, it has been one hell of a ride.

 

Loves of my life

 

For those who got angry on my behalf.

 

I've met the loves of my life during college.

And yes, you read it right.

"Loves" as in plural form.

The ones whom I literally can't live without.

Those people whom I hold so dear,

so deep in my heart,

next to my soul.

 

There is not a single day has gone by

without me being thankful to God

for crossing our paths one to another.

For bringing them to me.

 

Every single one of them are just so

precious in their own way.

And I love them precisely and solely

because they are the way they are.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

I thank them for the vital parts

they have been in my life,

I thank them for every good and bad times

we've been through,

I thank them for sticking by my side

even when I'm at my worst

(and I tell you, I really am the worst),

I thank them for just simply being.

I thank them for their patience, 

I thank them for their love.

 

I wish they knew that their existence itself

mean so much to me.

I wish they knew how grateful I am.

How blessed I am, and I’ll always be.

No matter what they do or do not do,

as none of those things matter to me.

I just love them, for being them.

 

Surat cinta untuk sahabat.

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.
