Bittersweet Glory...

Back with me! Here, in this Rich Diary I will say that in a week I feel like I can learn a lot.

I went through various situations, during which time I felt quite happy. Always grateful for what God has given me.

Starting from my own situation, my family, and my friends. I'm grateful for everything!

First, I returned home to my family and no longer lived in a boarding house. Second, I feel my closeness with my family is getting tighter. Third, the situation in my RP where many people really like Xie's character (I'm very grateful, Because you want to have friendship with me until now.)

I'm always thankful and grateful for every moment. 🤎

Golden Glory.

And now, for my diary's week!

During this week, I have gone through so many happy things. And I like that. Doing fun things with cousins and friends, that's an important point to make life feel colorful.

Actually, not every day I feel happy, there are things that make me upset and end up crying. But that doesn't shake me this week.

Happiness is more in everything, which makes sad only a few. And in the past few weeks I have received a lot more attention, I have gained trust from my friends.

Getting a special layout from RICH in halloween theme, that's something I love.

Euphoria,

“And I become one of the characters in this Series, Cassie Howard.”

Cassie Howard is one of the most complex and heartbreaking characters in Euphoria. Played by Sydney Sweeney, Cassie embodies the vulnerability, desire, and insecurity that many young women feel but rarely express. Her storyline is a journey of self-worth, love, and identity—all wrapped in an aura of innocence and desperation for validation. She’s someone who longs to be truly seen, yet her worth feels tied to how others perceive her, especially the men she dates.

About the Series;

Euphoria is more than just a series; it’s a visceral, raw, and visually striking dive into the chaos and beauty of adolescence. From the moment it begins, the show grips you with its neon-soaked cinematography, contrasting vivid colors against the dark realities of its characters' lives. Every frame feels like a dream you can’t wake up from—a beautiful yet disturbing reflection of youth.

The series revolves around Rue, played flawlessly by Zendaya, whose portrayal of addiction, loneliness, and self-destruction is hauntingly authentic. Her narration guides us through a landscape filled with characters who are all struggling in their own right, whether it be with love, identity, trauma, or the desire to escape their pain.

What Euphoria does so well is humanize the messiness of growing up. Each character is layered, multifaceted, and deeply flawed. Cassie, for example, craves love and validation, often losing herself in the process, while Maddy exudes confidence yet hides her own vulnerabilities. Jules navigates the complexities of gender identity and relationships, all while yearning for freedom and acceptance. And Nate, a product of toxic masculinity, balances on the edge of cruelty and confusion, unraveling as his internal conflicts intensify.

The show’s soundtrack is a pulse in itself, composed by the genius of Labrinth, merging perfectly with the emotions of each scene. The music becomes a character—amplifying moments of tension, heartbreak, and fleeting euphoria, making it impossible not to feel deeply connected to what’s happening on screen.

While Euphoria is often criticized for its intense depiction of sex, drugs, and violence, it is this unflinching approach that makes it so impactful. It doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable, instead it embraces it, forcing us to confront the dark truths of youth today. Yet, amid the darkness, there are moments of breathtaking beauty and tenderness—glimpses of hope that remind us that, even in chaos, there is the possibility of redemption.

Overall, Euphoria is a cinematic masterpiece. It’s more than just a reflection of teenage life; it’s a reflection of society’s complexities, insecurities, and desires. Every moment is soaked in emotion, every character carrying the weight of their world. It's a series that dares to ask tough questions and refuses to sugarcoat the answers. Through its bold storytelling, Euphoria leaves an indelible mark, long after the final scene fades to black.

During this week, I went through many unexpected things that started with sadness and ended with a loss that made me... very sad.

Hopefully in the future it can be a life lesson, a better way of life. I can't say much more, but I'll give you some readable descriptions.

This week, 80% sad... 20% happy.

Even though this week there were some things that made me dizzy, they didn't diminish my sense of calm and peace.

I went through the days without feeling so sad. I am grateful for that. And will always be grateful to God who is so good.

Strengthen my family and friends every day that I live. I hope that. ———————————————————— This week, if presented 90% happy! (Manokban's)

Golden Glory.

In the second week of Rich's diary, I named it Golden Glory. It could be said that joy filled me completely.

Actually for a physical expression, I don't have anything that I can tell you completely. But I've been through some things even though I've been through it alone.

Aku seneng karna gaada hal yang buat aku sedih ataupun sakit hati untuk seminggu ini... *APPROVED* Semua orang buat aku seneng! Even, ada beberapa kendala kecil tapi tetap bersyukur. 🤎

Untuk hari ini! Terima kasih Rich udah meluangkan waktu untuk games sebentar, aku ngerasa bener-bener seneng! Games toxic dari Rich kembali. 😋 Kapan-kapan lagi IAAAA!

Bittersweet Glory.

First of all, this week, we could say that there are many things that make me happy to go through the day.

Which one, hang out with an old friend who has been close since school until now. We talk about past or present situations that we are currently living, it makes the heart sparkle remembering and hearing each other's stories.

—

The next day, just relaxing with Joko (my cat) together. Didn't go out all day, In the middle of the night I also got news that one of my older siblings could not attend my graduation. *SUPER SAD* But in the end my brother still came!

—

Doing a lot of things together with my very close college friends, we went out to dinner together and did spiritual praise together. And that's one of my favorite things this week.

—

There is a full day of non-stop outdoor activities, which began with a graduation dress rehearsal in the morning, continued accompanying friends to carry out the final thesis examination, and at night relaxing in a cafe with cousins.

—

The next day we visited the family, cooked and ate together. Telling stories about funny situations or other things. And after that, continued with college friends, took the time to go to the cinema (watch Lembayung) where they were all scared except me.

—

And today, September 28, 2024 I celebrated my Bachelor's Graduation, so happy because all the family members finally have a family photo. Even though the sun has been hot all day, but still celebrate this day with great joy.

This week, if presented 20% sad 80% happy!

"Radiance in Elegance: A Symphony of Strength and Grace"

DEL CORE, 드레스: 시대를 초월한 아름다움.

Vogue, Japan.

A TIMELESS KIND OF BEAUTY.

She rests in the soft embrace of twilight, draped in the delicate whispers of a dream. Her presence is a poem—subtle, ethereal, and infinitely graceful. Every fold of her garment flows like a quiet river, wrapping her in the gentle hues of serenity. In her stillness, she embodies the calm between breaths, the silence between notes, where time lingers just a little longer.

Her eyes speak of untold stories, of worlds hidden behind the veil of reality. She is the quiet muse, a figure of tender strength, where vulnerability and beauty find perfect harmony.

She Stands as A Beacon, L.

Back to Rockstar.

Her attire is a symphony of contrasts,

where each detail whispers tales of strength, rebellion, and elegance. With a gaze that holds the mysteries of the universe, she embodies a timeless allure—grace woven with an edge, softness tempered by steel.

In this moment, she is both the calm and the storm, a living paradox that captivates and mesmerizes, leaving an indelible mark on the soul of those who dare to behold her.

Beautiful Things, my R.

It's been 4 years... U: was ever kind to me.

💬 Hello, Birthday Girl! ( your [Kota Iyye] :p )

They say you're overly sensitive.

That your heart sits too comfortably at the precipice, ready to plummet at the slightest provocation. An unkind word can send you spiraling. A perceived indifference shakes you down to your core. You don't know why you absorb feelings so readily, even when they aren't your own.

But one day, you will learn to appreciate the gift you have been given. To live joyfully with your burning, all-consuming sentiment, and from this raw and tender place, create the most beautiful things.

Special—your day. [Sending you a love] 🤎

[manokban]

Somethin'—Even More.

“was a new chapter; right?”

Some things that can be shown behind the scenes; many points. And of course, it will be shown well. As—is happening now.
