Some Thoughts: What's Your Truth

Since mid last year, I started to notice something. Something that deep, and I learnt from it since, practice it, although not that easy.


We heard many times of quote.

Some of us hold on to some of it. Some of us hold on to it and practice it. When come to write something, even a thought on something such as issue or matter, I just had a hard time to do so. Like, using direct words. I couldn't do it back then. It was so hard. Maybe I'm not used to it.. But late last year, I've been noticing something with how interaction with direct and straightforward.. Somehow.. Much better.. More of human.

I'm not used to when comes to write something. Be it on my blog or my IG story - which most personal space that I feel like safe..? While doing so, I answered a QnA sticker from an art platform. They asked me "why I go for detailed illustrations?", since my answer before was that I'm abstract artist turned detailed one. I took time to answer the question.. and my answer was, which part of it, "....to be honest with oneself is a need in doing what I want to do..". I never thought that would be my answer..

Reason why that was my answer, because a quote that hold. "May the truth set you free" - when come to this quote people often think about truth for crime cases and such like only. But as I learnt about myself and dealing with ups and downs in life, this quote is deep. It's not only for that kind of truth, but starting from self truths. It's the truth of you being who and how you are. The truth of thinking, mentally, feeling, emotionally, spiritually, personally and even how care you are doing things you passion about, be it in your job or work, towards your friends and circle, towards family, towards issues with your own opinion, towards everything. That's the truth of you, that's you only know - and it's what I've been doing and holding on with myself.

Just a bit different, I said "may my truth set me free". In learning still about validation and being human, as myself, my real me. So I can feel okay to write and use the exact word, in the future.. Hope so. With my own pace, like every one has.

Book: Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK By Aqila Masri

I finally finished reading "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" by Aqila Masri (Overthinking But Acted OK) , published by IMAN Publication, last October. And let's see what my thoughts on this one. First of all, my view is just as from an artist, crafter and blogger, and as a reader... When this book published, to be honest I got caught by the title. I didn't plan on to get it like seriously, because I have this feeling to put aside what I can relate to the title. The word - "overthinking"... But as time past, I started to have the image of this book in mind, and it's repeating. So I feel it and said, "I need to have it" with wondering what the topics will be within. It was more like a calling from the book I could say. And early last month - September - I got it. First of all, the cover illustration - pretty. I love how the choice of the style from the artist. The work is beautiful. And give the visual to what's the book about. At the same tim...

Book: Mereka By Ariff Adly

After done with UNBOX, I decided to continue with MEREKA by same author. And I like more when come to it's cover artwork. Which a digital art. Bestselling too, MEREKA actually very unexpected for me and for most, it has something much darker compared to 2 other before. I read this on 3rd week of July. As usual, before I put my thoughts on this, I'm a visual artist-illustrator, crafter, a blogger, and all just my thoughts as a reader.. So.. Excuse my broken English or whatever I'm trying to put in words in here... MEREKA as in English, "them", in my view from the story plot, it should be "them". This one open not too slow and not too fast. The opening just as in reality of real life friendship, joking around, and life talking but with creepy things going on as usual, Ariff Adly... At first, this one makes me feel like this will be in reality without confusion and straightforward like that... I was wrong... In fact it somehow, put me in a place where I hav...

Some Thoughts: November

It's strange sometimes how I feel like time flies so fast specially at near end of the year. Now, already November. Interesting, isn't it? Writing this at midnight past 2am. Yes, I'm already sleepy but just feel like to blog out something I guess. I just done with my 2 days booth, which I'm selling my handmade accessories and jewellery - handcrafted by me, each one of them. And alhamdulillah this time was the best one. And I got home by Saturday night, and Sunday where whole body aches.. Still not getting used to it? I don't know but more to my body health conditions I think.. Currently, while booth or which I called "boothing" become my main focus, I too, still, reading books that I got for myself and current reading - "When You Think You're Falling: Holding On To God's Mercy To Keep Going" by Ameera Aslam, a Singaporean born author. And also, I started back with gardening few days ago, after long time... Well... Raining still the season...
