Happy new year 2025, Dad.

Just a little bit more, a little bit strong, a little bit harder, a little bit stronger.

Selamat tahun baru 2025!

Ujian is so last year.

Last last year. Saya bukan pribadi yang relijius, tapi biarkan saya tetap menghidupkan pengharapan di tahun ini.

Dua tahun berlalu, di tahun ini saya hanya mengharapkan untuk hidup yang lebih tenang dan pelan. Lebih lembut dan penuh kasih terhadap diri sendiri dan orang-orang terdekat. Mengetahui waktu kapan untuk beristirahat sejenak, berdiam diri, dan kembali mengambil arah. Melatih kemampuan bersyukur dan berani mengucap, “Kid, you’re good enough.”

Sebagaimana setiap hembusan napasmu berhasil menenangkan pikiran dan melembutkan tegangan tubuhku, untuk kembali, menemukan diri sendiri, dan mendengarkan dengan pelan di tiap hembusan napasnya, aku pulang.

I love you.

Sometimes we don't need 'solutions.' We need sympathy for our impasses.

“Regret is something you've got to just live with, you can't drink it away. You can't run away from it. You can't trick yourself out of it. You've just got to own it.”

A man’s historic exploration; journey into the depths of the world’s deepest cave, Krubera Cave that also known as Voronya Cave, Georgia. It was named after Russian geologist and professor, Alexander Alexandrovich Kruber, the founder of Russian and Soviet karstology.

It’s been brought to my attention that the idea of being alone “with the rope” resonates with the feeling of isolation, where the only thing that matters is your own actions and decisions.

In a broader sense, it can be seen as a potential to draw on these resources to navigate and acknowledge the weight of being alone in those moments, but also the possibility for growth, resilience, and self-discovery. It’s a reminder that, while we might not always have others to help us, the challenge of facing things on our own can reveal our true capacity to persevere.
