If traveling doesn’t make you humble, I don’t know what will.

Traveling brings us face-to-face with new people and different ways of seeing life. It shows us that wherever you go, people are facing their own struggles and just trying to survive, exactly like us.

We are such a small part of this universe, but Allah has blessed us with a special purpose: to act as ‘khalifah’ on Earth and spread kindness.

After all, this Dunya is temporary.
I always have a thoughts that it’s almost like a test or a game where we collect good deeds today to prepare for our forever in the Akhirah.

Let’s make the most of it.

Everyone talks about romantic love, but no one talks about how office/work friendships literally save your life.

Thank you for having my back, for always listening and always understanding, for always be there, in every season of life.

It’s not always rainbow and butterflies, but I know that every time I’m with them, I’m on the right hand. Thank you for taking care of me, literally.

Kita kemana lagi habis ini?

One day, @bhti.04 asked me, a simple question “are you proud of yourself?”, but it took me forever to answer.

I said to her, “I don’t know how it feels, but I’m grateful for the journey that took me here”.

She didn’t ask for more question, she said “I’m proud of you, love you”, as sweet as she is and always be.

But somehow, deep down I know for sure, the best thing I did this year was: I kept going.
Not because I wanted to.
Trust me, all of me wanted to stop.
but here I am still,
because I deserve to know
“what not giving up on myself feels like”.

I can’t describe how it feels, but it feels warm on my chest to choose myself after all this time. by @astriderawan

7 years with them.
The longest commitment I’ve ever had.
Suka diledek “You just need the right playground, right team, right person”.

Alhamdulillah,
Salah satu dari banyaknya doa yang Allah kabulkan. Doa yg dipanjatkan oleh teman teman di Ottawa sebelum aku kembali ke Indonesia, “Semoga kamu dikelilingi orang baik karena kamu anak baik, mudah dibohongi dan ditipu, takut bgt banyak orang jahat di Jakarta” 😂 Terimakasih ya! Doa nya menembus langit! Aku masi terus dikelilingi orang baik sampai sekarang.

Elitery menjadi saksi perjalanan hidupku. Apapun masa nya, ada Elitery di dalamnya, yang terus menerima semua kekurangan aku, memotivasi untuk menjadi lebih baik, menyediakan ruang untuk berkembang, dan punya stok maaf yang banyak untuk aku bisa merasa dipercaya.

Terimakasih untuk perjalanan panjangnya, semoga kita bisa terus bergandeng tangan untuk satu tujuan yang sama.

Elitery masih terus masuk dalam list doa yg aku panjatkan. Semoga kita selalu dilindungi Allah dan dimudahkan perjalanannya. Amin ya robbal alamin.

Semoga kapal ini akan terus melaju, apapun badainya, janji kita gak akan kemana mana ya? ✨ by @astriderawan

I talked to a friend last week to catch up on life.
We realized how much we’ve grown and changed, but also how some things stay the same.

The hardest part was when we talked about our parents. When we are busy figuring out our own lives, we forget they are getting older. We take them for granted. We expect them to know everything and sometimes demand too much, forgetting that being a parent is their first time too.

Now they are getting old, and they don’t always know what they’re doing either. But they stay quiet because they don’t want to worry us.

If I can talk to younger version of me, I would say that “Please forgive them for everything they did when they didn’t know any better”.

Until then, I love you. by @astriderawan

I remember hugging her so tight and saying, “Amia is gone, we only have each other now,” while we were both so scared of life and what would happen next.

Then, when Opa passed away at the hospital during my turn to stay with him, I texted her, “Opa is gone... where are you? Is Papa coming?” I was so scared, I felt like my world has ended.

And the last time, when Papa passed away in his sleep, I just texted her, “Papa is gone.” That message gave her so much trauma for the rest of the year that she had to see a therapist regularly (I’m so sorry about that).

So, after losing so many of the people we love the most, we have learned to appreciate what we have right now, to forgive and forget, to choose each other once again, and to keep going. No matter what. We always find a way back to each other.

We’ve learned to appreciate everything they gave us and whatever they did to make sure we could survive in this world.

So, here it is.
For many adventure ahead @nadiraerawan.
Semoga Allah mudahkan segala urusan dan melindungi momi dimanapun momi berada.
See you when I see you again.

We’ve done this before, and it never gets easier.. by @astriderawan

“It’s his loss,” they said.

I know it’s easy to say, but somehow, I was the one who couldn’t recognize the person staring back at me in the mirror.

I was the one who asking myself the same questions, thousand times, reread his messages over and over, play every possibilities scenario that could happened, feel my chest tighten every time I close by the area.

I was the one left carrying the weight of what happened, crying in silence, questioning my worth, explain the situation, soften the details, making them understand without hating him, wondering how and when it started and I lost the track.

Then maybe one day, it really will become his loss.

But today...
it still feels like mine. by @astriderawan

My aunt used to say :

“Sometimes in life, you will get toothache. The broken one, the rotten one. The one that makes you hard to sleep, to eat. And it’s okay to take it out. Remember when you get your wisdom teeth removed? that you sleep all day, hard to eat, even you sleep in sitting position. And that’s most likely how youre gonna feels when you get your tooth removed.
After a while, I know you still can feel the gap between your tooth. But the best part is it doesnt bother you anymore. You can eat easily. You can sleep. You can do anything you want. And the point is, people can talk whatever you want, whether it’s a good or bad decision to remove your wisdom tooth; but I know for sure, the dentist knows the best.”

Well, she always right. by @astriderawan

Selamat bertambah usia Elitery, ternyata sudah membersamainya dari umur 8 tahun, cray setitik Elitery sudah berumur 15 tahun sekarang.

Kalau Elitery sebagai pohon, aku yakin di usia 15 tahun ini batang nya sudah cukup kokoh, dengan struktur kulit luar yg mulai menebal & kasar, perjalanan 15 tahun diterpa segala badai dan terik, membuat pohon ini semakin kuat & terasah.

Aku tau, sistem akarnya telah menyebar luas ke dalam tanah untuk mencari nutrisi dan memberikan yang terbaik agar pohon mampu menahan beban yang semakin berat.

Dan, di usia 15 tahun ini, pertumbuhan tingginya mungkin mulai melambat dibandingkan tahun-tahun sebelumnya, tapi gak apa.. karena pohon ini mulai mengalihkan energinya untuk yg lain.

Tapi aku percaya, semakin bertambah usia, semakin bijak dalam melangkah.. dan yang paling penting, semakin tinggi pohonnya, semakin kuat akarnya, akan semakin banyak orang yang bisa berteduh di bawahnya. Sama seperti misi yang terus kita bawa : memberikan manfaat sebanyak banyaknya melalui teknologi informasi.

Couldn’t thank enough for our leaders & mentors (you know who you are) for always giving the best to @elitery.indo , and for trusting me to be part of the journey. ✨

Bismillah, for another 15, 30, 45, 60 years to go.. 💕✨ by @astriderawan
