Good sad

Is there such thing as a “good sad”?

And no, it’s not a play of words.


The word popped in my mind just now and well, it’s pretty intriguing. Some says a “good sad” is like a memorabilia or bittersweet memories or else but the word that I’m looking for is probably melancholy.


Why is melancholy a good sad, you wonder?

Isn’t it necessarily a bad thing? What good will melancholy do?


Melancholy :

“A feeling of thoughtful sadness.”


The thoughtful part is quite a contrary from “Sadness without a definite cause”, right? one is thoughtful while the other is mindless sadness. But both definitions talk about the same thing, that melancholy is a “feeling”.


And having a feeling is good. It’s great. That means that you are still connected to the outside world and being connected is wonderful.


It means that there is still hope for things to get better, some things that will either come from yourself or from others.


Sooner or later some lights will shine and the grass will grow. Even melancholy can’t beat destiny.


So please stay hopeful, alright? Things will get better. When He promises you happy then happy it will be.

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.
