Sometimes, we pretend to be happy not to show that we're strong but rather, for us to find someone who can see through our fake smiles and tell us that they know that we are not okay
Gantungkan cita-cita mu setinggi langit!
Bermimpilah setinggi langit. Jika engkau jatuh,
engkau akan jatuh di antara bintang-bintang.

We will all sail through different weather in this life. That's a certainty. But the one who has Allah will never ever drown.

There comes a point when it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That’s when the real work begins. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all.

All relationships have one law: never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you’re there.

Be nice to yourself. It’s hard to be happy when someone is being mean to you all the time.

it's okay if your art isn't impressive to your friends, it's okay if you're not very good at any of your hobbies, it's okay if you don't share your life on social media. you don't have to be good and you don't have to prove anything. your life isn't a performance.

Help for when You Feel Broken
1. Share your story with someone. Often it helps to put the sadness into words.
2. Try to detach and unplug for a while. It’s hard to do more than the minimum right now.
3. Respect your need for space, and a period of low stress. Also, try to reduce your responsibilities.
4. Allow yourself to feel all the negative feelings. It’s counter-productive to push them down inside.
5. Take care of your body and your physical needs. This will help you heal emotionally, too.
6. Be kind and gentle with yourself, and deliberately invest in meaningful self care. It’s important that you treat yourself well.
7. Believe that you're able to recover, and go on. Even though you feel weak, you are capable and strong.

Do not tell everyone your story. You will only end up feeling more rejected. People cannot give you what you long for in your heart.
let’s treat ourselves more gently. let’s go to bed early. let’s rest when we need to. let’s live life in a way that doesn’t make you feel burnt out after a few weeks. i want us to have fun, to enjoy everyday life, to be present and not to always push ourselves to the last limit. challenge yourself but also treat yourself with love. okay?
As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. Time solves most things. And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself.

We met at the wrong time. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway. Maybe one day years from now, we’ll meet in a coffee shop in a far away city somewhere and we could give it another shot.
