It Ends With Us

Watched this movie earlier and I am baffled!

The movie is beautiful on so many levels and I cry my heart out at how great it is 😭


So the book has been on best seller list since forever yet I never have the chance to read it but the movie is so good. All of the actors & actresses are top notch but best of all, the message that it delivered.


It Ends With Us is a movie based on Colleen Hoover’s novel with the same title that talks about domestic violence.


There was this denial part that they won’t acknowledge they had been in one, then it reoccured ‘till our lead actress realize that she had to stop it from happening again. For her daughter’s sake.


“Either we break the pattern or the pattern break us.” Colleen Hoover says on her book and I couldn’t agree more. But it takes tremendous strength to break the pattern and that’s what this book/movie is about. It’s about strength. Strength and courage to do the right thing, no matter how hard. Domestic violence is not okay and it never will be.


They keep repeating the same chant to themselves, you know. That their husband love them and would never do it to them, that it is just a one time thing and “accidentally” happened. But the truth is, some people are just, well, bad people.


So take my advice and rise, girl. Hold your head high and take my hand. Your new chant shall be “Strong mother raise strong children.”


Because you are strong and none can convince you otherwise.

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...
