Lately, I’ve been writing at a steady pace—at least 1,000 words a day. I’m aiming for fifteen thousand words for my latest manuscript, a novella, which I plan to submit to a publisher. I don’t know whether they’ll like it or not—but I’m truly enjoying the process. The story explores social hierarchy within a colony of birds. I’m hoping for the best with this manuscript.

Sometimes, I feel like the experiences most people my age go through arrived a little late for me. One of my close friends has been married for years and is now raising three children. But I believe it’s never too late to first understand yourself. Today, I know exactly what I need—and to me, that clarity is an achievement worth celebrating. I’ve grown brave enough to challenge the taboos still held tightly by Eastern society: to them, I might already be too old. But while many have grown weary of love, I feel myself growing younger, still evolving and still learning. I’m learning to understand love, and even heartbreak, through a more whole, conscious lens.

Tumblr has now become a terrible platform—e-commerce ads keep popping up, and every time I accidentally click on one, I get overwhelmed trying to get back to the homepage.

Setengah jalan lagi membaca buku ini, berbarengan dengan The Humor Code-nya Joel Warner dan Peter McGraw. Belum bisa kasih rating yang tepat. Tapi kedua buku ini bagus untuk yang mau mengerti seluk beluk tertawa dan humor.

Bikin seloyang wajik durian untuk dibagi-bagikan ke tetangga 🥰 Alhamdulillah kami senantiasa dikelilingi orang-orang baik yang peduli, padahal nggak ada hubungan darah sama sekali. Didekatkan dengan orang-orang baik dan tulus itu juga adalah rezeki (dan itu patut dirayakan).
.
I made a whole tray of wajik durian to share with the neighbors 🥰 Blessed to have such good people around, even though we're not even related. Real ones like that are a win worth celebrating.

Sending your prose to international magazines is actually way more rewarding than sticking with local ones—no shade on any media, though. In Indonesia, there aren't many places that pay writers fairly and keep them updated on their submissions. And oddly enough, they mostly want exclusive pieces that can't be sent anywhere else but to their own media. Writers really need at least a confirmation of their work being received—something most Indonesian literary editors are too lazy to do. When I was an editor, I made sure every writer who sent in their work got that feedback, plus payment—even though we were totally relying on donors back then. If you're fluent in English, I think sending your stuff to foreign media could really pay off; just pick credible magazines that offer decent pay. If you're short on cash, look for ones that don’t charge submission fees. If you get accepted, you’ll also score some wider exposure—your work will reach way more readers.
Be selective when making choices because submitting your work as a beginner writer can sometimes be tough due to submission fees. Most major international literary magazines charge these fees, saying it's for website upkeep or printing costs. It feels like playing the lottery after you've put in real effort, because if you don’t get accepted, sometimes there’s no refund—just a pointless subscription. This just isn’t worth it when you’re starting out. You can either choose to pay the submission fees or opt for free ones—but be sure to look for platforms that will pay you. Seek out places that appreciate the hard work you put into your writing.

I've been feeling dizzy and nauseous lately because of the loud noises my neighbor makes: the sound of cutting machines, loud voices, and tape music. It's really out of control. The place next to my house isn't even a workshop, it's a rental room. The owner has no initiative to address it, and they wonder why I've become unfriendly toward them.

Infused water dengan bunga kenanga dan lemon slices; wangi, asam manis, ada pahitnya dikit. Segar. Untuk yang butuh minuman yang menenangkan, rendaman bunga kenanga ini mungkin bisa kamu coba. Enak kok, asal diminum sewajarnya. Aku minum ini seminggu sekali.
.
Infused water with ylang-ylang flowers and lemon slices; it has a fragrant aroma, a mix of sweet and sour, with a hint of bitterness. Refreshing. If you're looking for a soothing drink, this ylang-ylang flower infusion might be worth a try. It's delicious, as long as you drink it in moderation. I have it once a week.

Preparing lunch today made me reflect on the deeper symbolism of lemons—not only as a representation of strength and resilience, but also as a symbol of both death and hope.
Sandy Tolan captures this meaning in his book, The Lemon Tree. No matter how much effort colonizers put into erasing the identity of the occupied, they can never erase the memories etched into their history, much like what Dalia experiences with Bashir, or what the settlers face when they inhabit the houses of the displaced. These colonizers will eventually confront the trauma born from violence, believing it will make them stronger—but in reality, they will crumble from within. There is no righteousness in robbing others of their rights and oppressing the innocent. The only hope in all of this is the awareness to acknowledge mistakes--something feels wrong, and they must realize who the true enemy is.
