Setahun ke belakang, aku lagi seneng-senengnya meronce. Niatnya memang supaya nggak stress pas abis lahiran anak kedua. Ketika banyak membaca buku udah nggak mempan untuk menangkal stress, biasanya aku memang cari hal lain untuk dicoba. Sesuatu yang bikin otak kanan atau otak kiri bergerak, sesuatu yang bisa menuangkan rasa, atau menyalurkan emosi. Pertamanya cuma nyobain beli Beads Kit kecil buat bikin kalung atau gelang, tapi sekarang lagi sering bikin strap HP. Dipake nggak hasilnya? Nggak juga, sih. Hehe.

I’d like to think that Ramadan is like a new year. You can always challenge yourself to a new habit (or habits) with an extra boost of hyperfocus. In January, I’ve always been entertained by a set of friends who try to challenge themselves on #30HariBercerita. Sometimes, I wonder why there are no similar things in February or March. So, this is me, writing again. Hopefully every day, or maybe just some days? In English or Bahasa Indonesia, about things that have been living in my head.

I miss that, the spontaneous writings, those without the need to fact-check or quote scientific journals. I don’t know if it will be relevant anymore with my age or the world, but here it is: a series of paragraphs with broken grammars or unnecessary thought processes. This is me, leaving footprints in this big world of noise.
