talking about past mistakes' shadow

As I lay in bed, my mind was consumed by a heavy weight, the weight of my past mistakes and failures. It was as if a dark cloud had descended over me, and I couldn't escape its shadow. No matter how much I tried to push those negative thoughts away, they clung to me like a thick fog, suffocating me.

The thought that I might have caused harm to myself and others lingered like a bad dream. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed like my mistakes were ingrained in my character, a part of who I am. And this realization only added to my worries, causing me to wonder if I would ever be able to make things right.

As I struggled to find a way forward, I couldn't help but feel helpless and lost. The gloom of my thoughts seemed to suffuse everything around me, casting a pall over even the brightest moments. It was as if I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of despair, unable to see a path out.

In moments like these, it's easy to forget that we have the power to shape our own future. It's easy to get lost in the weight of our mistakes, to feel as though we're drowning in our own shortcomings. But, it's important to remember that we're not alone, and that we can overcome our past.

It may not be easy, and the path ahead may be fraught with challenges and obstacles, but perhaps that's why I'm still alive. I still have an opportunity to make things right, to break free from the gloom of my negative thoughts. I can take ownership of my mistakes, work towards becoming a better version of myself, and find a way forward. The future may be uncertain, but it's up to me to shape it, one step at a time.

tidak mau menjadi kuat

Aku tidak pernah minta pada-Nya untuk dikuatkan. Aku tidak mau. Aku takut. Hal sebesar, sesulit apa yang akan Dia beri sampai-sampai aku harus "kuat"? Membayangkannya membuatku merinding, jadi doa seperti itu tidak pernah kupanjatkan. Aku tidak mau dikuatkan; aku maunya dimudahkan, digampangkan, diringankan. Setidaknya begitulah sepanjang 2025, lantas begitu pulalah 2025 rasanya berlalu. Seolah lancar sekali ( alhamdulillah ), jadi kukira tahun ini pun tanganku akan menengadah untuk permintaan serupa. Sebenarnya hingga awal bulan ketiga ini, masih begitu adanya. Apalagi dengan merebaknya berita kemenangan Alysa Liu dalam nomor tunggal putri figure skating , kisahnya dibingkai media menjadi " she released the pressure, reclaimed her joy and turned it into Olympic gold ". Tuh kan? batinku seolah bersorak, berbisik demikian. Aku juga ingin berhasil tanpa perlu menjadi kuat karena menahan beban berat. Tidak mau menjadi kuat dengan meromantisasi tangis dan ker...

soal menerima

Sepertinya tidak ada satu jua ketakutan saat pertama aku bertandang ke sana. Tidak di kali kedua, pun kali ketiga. Namun, di kali keempat, entah mengapa aku merasa sangat khawatir, sangat berbeda, sangat tidak pada tempatnya; merenungkan kembali rencana jangka panjang untuk menetap di sini--yang sebenarnya sangat sulit untuk dibatalkan. Kunjungan keempat itu sederhana. Aku hanya mengitari Tokyo--tidak; di samping keharusanku bergerak ke luar menemui satu dua orang, akhirnya aku lebih banyak berdiam di apartemen yang kusewa; mencoba resep makanan ini itu di dapur yang dari kulkas hingga kompor, pemanggang, dan sederet mesin lainnya kukuasai seorang diri selama dua minggu itu. Di hari ke-sekian ( aku lupa ), kebetulan tidak ada pekerjaan khusus yang perlu kulakukan, dan tubuhku yang terlalu lama mendekam dalam ruangan itu merasa gerah ( padahal saat itu musim dingin ). Kakiku lantas bergerak tidak tentu arah, pokoknya ke perpustakaan yang sepertinya bagus. Oh, betapa aku su...

before i knew it, my hair had gotten long

Tokyo, November 21, 2025. --- いつのまにか髪が長くなったいつのまにか、涙がこぼれた It’s seven degrees Celsius at 1 AM. I was looking at myself in the mirror an hour ago, finally realizing my hair had gotten long. The hair that usually stays hidden behind my hijab. The hair that is usually held up by claw clips all day. So when I finally let it down, washed it, and let it hang straight, it looked so long—the longest it has been in the last six years. But oh, how fast the night changes. I, who was so happy to see my long hair return, was weeping while listening to a song I discovered at the office yesterday. I couldn't shed a tear back then; how could I explain my sudden breakdown to four colleagues I only met two weeks ago? Ha, recently, I haven't even been able to cry in front of my significant other of six years. It is what it is. When I finally found myself alone—a space to breathe and a time to pause—I felt my past self crawling out from deep within, complete with her dissatisfaction, insecurity, an...
