Some Thoughts: Midnight And Slowing Down

Midnight.

Midnight, always give me a sense of deep connection with my feelings. Like.. Put this in words is something I have a hard time to do. Seriously, it's hard still but someone ever said on Twitter "writing is to be honest with self". Like I ever said, "be honest with what you want to do" - my answer for an art platform question.


Midnight where my thoughts grow.

Maybe it's because I have things to do and deal in the morning. Else than things at home, gardening or landscaping if it's sunny day, do my handmade stuff or drawing, playing with my indoor plants (oh I still not put out why I started having them), or cooking.

Past 12am where actually it is, usually give my mind some space to absorb all in the day without put my mind on heavy levels, these days.. It's much more lighter now. But maybe because midnight where I'm at just quiet, not much of sound from TV, where usually I'll turn it down a bit. Obviously because my parents sleeping.. And I will take the time to process everything, like, what for tomorrow, what I need to get if outing, what I will do, that kind of thing..

But recently, I think and I feel too, to want to go slow with everything.. Like, allowing myself to slow down with things specially at home. Such as doing dishes. Slowing down a bit I think it's not wrong. It's not lazy but give myself, my body and my mind time to process things around. I will do when I feel like it but not to the extent of abandoned it all. Just for few days, and come back with amount of better energy - not pressuring, not rushing. Just know that "okay, today I'm on it!". This not exhausting my body when my mind and energy is recovering from tiredness dealing with standing up at my booth on weekends. And I think my body needs it, deserve it. 

What our body feels today, the results is in the future.

I think for body to stay well, it needs more than just balance of meals, enough sleep and rest, but for whole of it made up from - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. A quote "your body can't be good when your mind is tired", always remind me that I need to take things slowly and one by one, one at the time. It's not easy for some people with their situation - so this slowing down with things, is just not available for some people... I know..

But for me, I want to be able to do it. Although most of times I can't catch up but, at night, perhaps? Or more, midnight.. But can't every day. Still I want to try in any days I could get a chance to do so. While not forcing myself at the same time. Just let loose in the process. This might take time but maybe, it's worth to try, even for a bit... So I'm slowing down when I feel like I'm running, chasing and rushing around in what I do. Stop, pause. Then acknowledge that thing won't finish anyway..

So give myself time and space to process things at midnight, somehow it's part of my life for whole these times.. I just don't really know or get it until few years back and recently and knowing that it's my body calling for it, need it.. A calling of my soul.

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...

Some Thoughts: Morning Lately

Wake up early is good, I'm not denying a bit. With the sunlight and and cool air, I feel calm in every way. These past few months and weeks, I realised that I've been trying to focus on myself. Else than enjoying my latest commission artworks for a best selling author (I'll share about it upcoming), I too enjo my time with my mom who loves dramas, gaming, and cooking. For most I think I enjoy my time watching movies, back and forth gaming The Last Of Us Part 1 and Part 2. Feel good beat up some zombies with their weapons choice. Morning wakes up does gives me some kind of feelings.. Where I feels more to my mind. And so do my my body. Mood? Cool like that. My routine every time I get up, definitely my favourite drink, Milo. With 2 plain crackers. Around 12 to 1pm where I usually plan for cooking, which these days just simple one. Even tofu can be the protein source of dish. Like I said.. On my IG story and on WP blog, I want a balance life - between whatever I have to deal ...

Some Thoughts: Journey In The Year 2024

Crazy how times flies.... For real, it feels so fast I learnt a lot, noticed a lot, and for most... I let loose a little bit more than last year... So.... I'm writing this, for the start for this posting, where I'm outside of my lil sis's new place. She's moved to new area... And I'm waiting here, while it's raining and people are going with Grab for New Year's Eve holiday or vacation... Writing this while standing up, front of guard's house... Well, my experience as blogger after years blogging. But this time rare one. I hardly get.... Maybe I'll do it again, next year? For sure. Anyway.... Back to the reality.... 2024.... A lot of great time. And for sure is, a lot of not so great ones... I still, dislike it although I know, that's what's and how's life is... But not only of the time I mean it, but for most, I caught up with moment where, for most- people. And what's it's giving me at the time, the moment.... The joy, the pain, ...
