Ramadhan & Syawal

-
Every Ramadhan has a meaningful story especially in the moment of pandemic season that currently happened. In the mid of every worry and fright about all the uncertainty issues, news, and announcement out there I have been trying to build a better relationship with Allah & I have learned that when I put my focus on Him I feel so much peace, my mind feels clearer and sharper, therefore helping me to focus better on my daily tasks. I have faith that when I have Allah at the center of my days and life all the rest will be fine.

I know sometimes at one point I wasn't grateful but as I've gotten older and wiser I understand why everything has a purpose behind it. Every delay is a blessing in disguise, every hardship I endure is needed a blessing in some sort. Sometimes it may not seem like a blessing, but it truly is. Allah will bless you with things you never thought you could have. You need to take each day as it comes and appreciate the little blessings in life before you learn to appreciate the bigger blessings. Never let one bring you down if everything else around you is going well, be grateful for those who love you & support you, because at the end of the day only those people matter :)

That moment holiday after Ramadhan feels like everything going slower and unhurried. But since nowadays our culture encourages us to plan every moment and fill our schedules with one activity and obligation after the next, with no time to just be. But the human body and mind require downtime to rejuvenate. I have found my greatest moments of joy and peace just sitting in silence, and then I take that joy and peace with me out into the world. I think everyone (and also me) need a day of nothing, a reprieve from the frenetic whirlwind of life. I need a day where I am not asked, wanted, or noticed. To know there is a wall of silence between me and everything else. 

Last but not least, life must go on! no matter how powerless we feel or how horrible things seem, we can't give up. We have to keep going and keep picking ourselves back up and moving forward . Whatever we're battling in the moment, it will pass and we will make it through. We've made it this far, so we can make it through whatever comes next. Let's trying to keep istiqomah for all the good habits in this Syawal moment. May Allah always be with us and guide us to the straight path. Aamin

Di suatu tempat

Dalam diam ku melangkah perlahan dan dengan enggan memilih salah satu diantara deretan kursi yang tersedia. Aku melipat kaki dan mulai kembali menekuni buku yang sedang ku genggam. Ku baca dengan seksama goresan tinta hitam yang berbaris rapi di putihnya lembaran kertas. Namun sepertinya pikiranku tidak dapat fokus. Ku arahkan pandanganku ke kanan dan ke kiri, yang terlihat hanyalah deretan kursi tanpa penghuni. Suatu harapan tiba-tiba berkelebat dalam pikiranku. Suatu harapan yang sepertinya tidak mungkin terjadi saat itu. Angin bertiup lembut menerpa wajahku, seolah hadir untuk menyadarkanku. Aku pun kembali menatap kosong buku di hadapanku. Entahlah aku merasa terkadang harapan dan kenyataan dapat dengan mudah disatukan. Tak berapa lama, tampak beberapa orang mulai berdatangan dan mengisi kursi-kursi kosong di sekitarku. Ku tatap sekilas wajah mereka, namun semua terlihat asing. Tak ada yang ku kenal. Tapi yang pasti aku tak lagi sendiri. Sudah saatnya menghadapi dunia yang se

How Busy!

Sibuk!  Sibuk, satu kata yang menjadi sebuah alasan yang sempurna untuk menjalani sebuah kehidupan. Kalau tidak sibuk, sesorang seperti tidak berguna. Walaupun sibuk tidak berarti selalu sedang mengerjakan hal-hal positif, namun entah mengapa setiap orang seakan-akan berlomba-lomba mencari kesibukan. Ada yang dengan mudah melakukan kesibukan karena sudah menemukan tujuan hidupnya pada saat itu, contohnya seperti para pekerja, pelajar, ataupun mahasiswa “sejati”. Namun tidak sedikit yang masih mondar-mandir mencari kesibukan karena bingung ingin melakukan apa :p  Saya berharap “sibuk’ jugalah alasan saya meninggalkan kegiatan tulis-menulis hingga tanpa terasa telah vakum setahun lebih mengisi catatan di blog ini. Dengan begitu saya bisa tenang, karena tidak merasa bersalah telah melupakan hobi lama saya yang mana artinya rantaian kata-kata (baca: pemikiran) di kepala saya tidak tertuang sedikit pun. Entahlah, menjelang masa akhir kuliah banyak kegiatan baru bermunculan yang tak

  “The real beauty never need to be over expose” because the shine of beauty like a pearl, it better hide in some place to keep it from any bad effect or bad human. Generally, every girl was born to have some unique beauty. But usually, they were only focus to show the beautiful outside without notice the most important thing.

Smarter is helper and sweetheart is angel, it is a perfect combination if you tried to put it all on yourself. So, Let’s make ourselves to be a real beauty human! :)
