Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary-General, once said, "To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for." He embodies many things that I deeply admire: unwavering commitment to peace, justice, and ethical diplomacy. He showed that leadership is not just about…
They say that after death, the human brain lives for seven minutes. Seven minutes where time bends and stretches, just enough time to replay our best memories. The moments that made us feel most alive. The laughs, the hugs, the late-night talks, the quiet peace of being with someone who just gets y…
Figs and persimmons—two fruits that don’t ask to be understood, yet hold stories within their skin. One, layered in depth, waiting for someone patient enough to peel back its richness. The other, bitter before its time, overlooked until it softens into sweetness. We are all figs and persimmons in a…
Because you are often overlooked, waiting to be seen when no one seems to care. You grow slowly, quietly, like the persimmon that ripens at its own pace, but is often ignored until it's perfectly sweet.

These past 915 days have been a journey of growth and learning what it really means to live. It feels like having something that keeps believing in me even when I can’t believe in myself. There’s this quiet care that doesn’t always show, but it’s always there, making me feel like I’m not alone. It…
This was the year I didn’t see coming—the one that shook me out of complacency. When I learned to stop being compliant, to demand what was rightfully mine, refuse to settle for anything less than what I deserved. I lost patience with small talk, fell in love with midnight conversations. I crossed d…
Aku lahir di tempat di mana banyak budaya bertemu menjadi satu. Makanan, pakaian, dan bahkan bangunan mempunyai makna masing-masing. Di mana “gotong royong” adalah ungkapan yang kita pahami dan jalani sehari-hari. Tempat yang punya segalanya, dari gunung tertinggi sampai lautan paling indah. Tradis…
Eye contact seems a little hard today. Trying to hide the eyes that tell the truth of what the heart is feeling. My mind was all over the place just because of what I felt. I felt mad, sad, scared yet at the same time I felt guilty for feeling that way. Why? Why is the question I first asked myself…
