Fear Emergency Response

Hello, this is your fear talking.

I need you to notice that you’re now precipitating harder, your heart is beating faster, your hand starts to tremble, your whole body shakes and you felt chill slowly going up to your spine.

You can feel your ear starts to deafened you, you got goosebumps all over your body and you can feel your bile moving up your throat real quick that throwing up is definitely in your near agenda.


And all that is fine.

You’re completely okay.


All those are our body normal responses

during fear and you’re doing just fine,

little darling, you’re doing just fine.


Now I need you to walk through your fear with me, I need you to notice your surroundings.



I need you to focus on the outside of yourself. 

  • Please close your eyes, take 3 deep breaths and listen, what did you hear? Describe it to me in details.
  • Now please open your eyes and see, what did you saw? Describe it in details, with colors attached too.
  • Now focus on the temperature of your surroundings, what did you feel?


Now after all that, how do you feel?

Do you feel better?

  • If you haven’t, repeat step 1-3 again as much as you need

I know that you’ll feel better eventually, you always will. Because you’ve been through this before and you conquer it. 


You sensed your fear,

you walked through it,

you conquered it. 

You beat it.


You can do it.


I’ll always be here, sending you my utmost prayers.

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...
