I will open my books and read; words offer the greatest comfort for me. I’ve enjoyed conventional journaling lately, too! Scribbling notes down and engraving them as to treasure beautiful scenes that I witness, to not let the words in my mind escape so imprudently.

It has been a year since you left the message but only now I find the courage to respond. I am quite content with the life I have now, indeed (yes, I think it has been getting better since the day you dropped this message on my inbox). It was very sweet of you to notice, and I thank you. I hope you are living a life to your fulfillment, too. Best regards and plenty of good wishes shall you receive from me now, E.

Life’s always so-so, but I think I am able to appreciate each moment; the bad, the good, the mediocrity of its entirety.

Aku tipe yang percaya ada ‘kekuatan’ dari memanggil seseorang dengan nama aslinya. :D tapi banyak temenku manggil Zia.. lucu banget jujur.

Kalau aku, karena nggak punya hobi lain yang menarik (hehe). Baca buku yang bisa bikin aku terpukau sama kalimat filosofisnya itu sangat bikin ketagihan.

“Reality was, after all, just so malleable – facts could be forgotten, truths suppressed, lives seen from only one angle like a trick prism, if only one resolved never to look too closely.”

I isolate myself until people forget that I exist. Sometimes, I wish I could completely erase it (at least for some people). I believe there is beauty in absence and setbacks.

I do! I want to recommend “Breasts and Eggs” by Mieko Kawakami, a recent read which receives 5 stars from me. It tackles feminism and existential acceptance, examining these matters from a philosophical lens, delving deep into questions and concerns about a life that revolves around societal expectations—exclusively as a woman. It’s a bit slow-paced and may not be to your liking, but if you try to finish it, I’m sure you’ll find valuable lessons and gain a better understanding of life. It gives you a sense of validation, too.
