Good guess. Would you like me to reach out to you directly, Ashley? Feel free to say no if you're uncomfortable or if you still not ready for it
I think I remember seeing you with your friend and you said you’re not good at guessing. But the truth is, you’re good at it. So, do you already know the answer? Can you guess the first initial of my name?
That can mean anything. It might have something to do with my profile picture, maybe with a singer I like or maybe something else. Just try to think and connect all the clue. I don’t mind if you figure it out because that’s what I want. Let me know if it’s too hard for you. By the way, I just listened to the song and I think it’s a perfect one for this Saturday morning. My recommendation in return is Wonder by ADOY
Ashie, mau tanya sesuatu dong! Gimana caranya mulai memberi cinta yang selama ini kita beri ke orang lain, itu kita berikan kepada diri kita sendiri? Selama ini aku selalu begitu, memberi banyak cinta ke dia, tapi sejujurnya aku belum bisa mencintai bahkan mengenal diriku sendiri.
perjalanan untuk memberikan cinta pada diri sendiri memang tidak mudah karena kita seringkali lupa bahwa kita manusia.
menjadi seseorang yang penuh cinta dan kelembutan memanglah hebat, tetapi ada masanya kita lupa untuk memberikan cinta dan kelembutan untuk diri sendiri hingga kita kehilangan diri sendiri. menurutku, hal yang paling penting untuk dilakukan adalah menyadari bahwa kita adalah manusia yang memiliki perasaan dan banyak kekurangan, sehingga kita juga pantas mendapatkan cinta dan kelembutan dari diri sendiri.
mencintai orang lain terasa lebih mudah karena kita lebih mudah berempati pada orang lain; sedangkan untuk mencintai diri sendiri, kita lebih sering mendengarkan “kritik kasar” dari dalam diri. memberi cinta pada orang lain sangat menyenangkan karena kita mendapatkan validasi, rasa kepemilikan, dan apresiasi; sebaliknya, saat mencintai diri sendiri kita sulit mendapatkan atau bahkan merasakan hal-hal tersebut.
menurutku, dengan mengapresiasi diri kita sebagai manusia seutuhnya dan memvalidasi semua perasaan dan kekurangan yang kita miliki, kita bisa memulai perjalanan untuk lebih mencintai diri sendiri. perlahan-lahan, ganti pemikiran kritis tentang diri kita menjadi kata-kata afirmasi; mulai mengapresiasi hal-hal kecil yang ada pada diri kita dan yang kita lakukan, rayakan semua hal kecil tentang diri kita; temukan cinta di mana pun kita berada, seperti di pohon-pohon yang kita temui, di makanan yang kita makan, atau di langit biru yang kita lihat, karena cinta dari dunia akan membantu kita untuk mengapresiasi hal-hal kecil.
wah, jawabanku jadi panjang ya... tapi semoga ini sedikit membantu kamu yaa! aku juga masih belajar untuk memberikan cinta pada diri sendiri. jadi kita belajar sama-sama yaa? terima kasih untuk pertanyaannya. kamu hebat, semoga dunia dan dirimu selalu baik padamu ♥️
Good morning, Ashley. I thought about giving you another clue last night. But, I decided to wait until this morning so you could get some rest. The new clue is, a door. I think it’s quite obvious and I feel like I’m risking my identity with this one
good morning, dearest one. that's so kind of you. thank you so much! is the door related to your profile? :> are you okay if I can guess you right? please let me know since I don't want to make you uncomfortable or scared, okaaay?
and as I promised, I'll give you a song recommendation since you're being so kind to me. please listen to Can I Have the Day with You by Sam Ock to accompany your weekend. have a great weekend, dearest one!
Let me give you another clue. The clue is, I’m one of the people who give a like at your latest writing post. I don’t know if God is on my side. But, I hope my identity stay hidden a little longer
Well, let’s have some fun with a guessing game. The first clue is that I’m one of your mutual
We definitely have a lot in common. I’m into book, poem, tree, fruit, and the sky as well. Could this be a good reason for us to get closer?
Do you set your eyes on someone at the moment? Anyway, sorry for asking this kind of question
Ashey, ashey, any tips to write in english... (Help this cat) (especially I'm still learning about grammar)
heylo, aple cat! 🐈 I'm afraid I'm not the best one to ask for tips as I still learning and need a lot of improvement in writing. nevertheless, I'll try my best to give you some tips!
first of all, one of the most important things is to read a lot to look for a reference, whether it's an idea reference or a writing style reference. if you have a certain favorite writer, you may follow their writing style for practice! I used to practice with this method when I joined a writing club back then.
second, it's okay if you're still learning about grammar because so am I—after all we're a forever learner! just practice and write everything you have on your mind. later on, you can always revise and edit it. you may use another tool to help you with grammar such as Grammarly. another way is you can find a friend who's willing to read and give feedback on your writing! just remember that we're not perfect so we may make mistakes in grammar, but hey, it's part of a learning process. be confident okay <3
lastly, enjoy the learning process. everything takes time, so don't be too hasty to reach the perfect point because we're far from perfect. don't be burdened if the result doesn't meet our expectations. and most importantly, be confident and believe in yourself when you create your own masterpiece.
this is so long, eh T____T I hope you don't mind this long answer and hope my tips will help you a little. thank you so much for asking 🐈🍎
Found your writing pieces and they're all so great. I like it and can't help not to wonder who is your muse or what are your inspiration to write all your pieces?
hey, sorry for the late answer BUT thank you so much for reading them and letting me know you like them, sweetest apple. to answer your question, my creative muse comes from what I see, hear, and feel! most of the time, I get inspiration from my personal experience or my random thoughts that come unexpectedly, but sometimes from other creative work as well, such as books and music. I hope this answer helps you! ;]
