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: Gelap By Ariff Adly

I got myself all 4 book - novels, by author Ariff Adly on 1st July last month for a reason. All his 4 is bestselling by the way. FIXI's call for illustrator for the author's new covers got my attention, in early morning and I was in my bed, I just woke up and a bit sleepy... I was in so-so thinking and situation where I was feeling like "should I?", "try je?", and sorts. I was in between and ended up emailed my portfolio. And then I started feeling it was a wrong move, like I just put myself in a rush situation and feel like I want to unsend it but of course, too late. Because of this, I feel the need to get all of Ariff Adly's books. Which, become most that I can put side by side with movies - yep, me, I'm a fans of movies - that I know and some just in a top of my list I could say. Tadaaaa yesss.. Since all 4 in my hand that day, I was just, "which one that I should start with?". Since it all Bestseller FIXI, it does give me this moment w...
