Finding little ways through prose, pages, and thoughts. ✽

[ؘ @proseways]

Sometimes I wonder if loneliness is safer, or if I only learned how to survive by disappearing first.

[ؘ @proseways]

People think loneliness is empty, but mine is crowded. It is filled with thoughts swallowing each other alive, filled with every version of me that had to disappear just to keep moving.

Excerpts from Letters to a young poet, Rainer Maria Rilke.

“Go into yourself. Examine the reason that bids you to write; check whether it reaches its roots into the deepest region of your heart, admit to yourself whether you would die if it should be denied you to write.”

this is the perfect hour to think about andrea gibson's "is my attention on loving, / or is my attention on / who isn’t loving me?"

I love seeing people share what they’re genuinely into. Plants, art, cars, etc. Sharing your perspective is everything. That’s not oversharing. That’s connection.

@Orchidiette Well written! Aku suka tulisan yang menggunakan bahasa Ibu kita, tapi dibungkus dengan begitu cantik oleh sang penulis.

Ring, ring, ring. A prayer blown for someone dear to receive something more than fleeting things.

Definitely not the last one but probably the realest one.

Perayaan di Meja Seberang—untuk dia yang tak akan pernah membacanya.

That one writing was for someone in college. I ended up submitting it to a competition, and somehow it passed the selection stage for publication. I think I would definitely burst into both laughter and tears if it actually ended up winning an award.

the intimacy of writing for someone who’ll never read it. 🌳

@isabellamenulis Thrilled to have you around!

Namun, penggunaan tersebut mencerminkan sikap seorang wanita dalam kehidupan sehari-hari; ketika ada yang meneriakkan “ibu”, hatinya langsung beradu, kaki dan tangannya sigap untuk membantu.

[ؘ @proseways]

Aku ingin lahir sebagai wanita sekali lagi, meski harus hidup dalam tatapan yang menelanjangi dan penghakiman yang tiada henti.

[ؘ @proseways]

Penggunaan kata “digauli” sengaja dibungkus dengan ramah karena dalam masyarakat sendiri kita harus merangkul sistem yang bernama patriarki. Dan penggunaan kata “ibu” sendiri bukan semata-mata dimaknai secara harfiah di sini.

I’m on my knees begging—please, please, please.
