Carpe Diem Even Here I have a heart, and a pen. That's how I survived. This is a collection of 32 poems about love, waiting, becoming, grief and choosing yourself. About being a woman in a world that wants you quiet. New poems added every week. Started with 8. We're growing together. If you've ever felt too much, this is for you.

Sejak kecil, Raka tumbuh hanya bersama Ibu. Ia tidak pernah benar-benar tahu kenapa ayahnya pergi. Yang ia tahu, setiap kali ia marah, keras kepala, atau memilih pergi ketika terluka, Ibu selalu mengatakan kalimat yang sama: "Kamu seperti bapakmu." Raka membencinya. Bukan hanya karena ia membenci ayah yang meninggalkannya, tapi karena diam-diam ia takut kalimat itu benar. Di rumah yang sama, Raka dan Ibu terus saling menyakiti. Kadang Raka terlalu kasar. Kadang Ibu terlalu lelah untuk menjadi ibu yang sabar. Mereka bertengkar, saling diam, saling menyesal-lalu kembali duduk di meja makan seolah tidak terjadi apa-apa. Sampai suatu hari, Raka menemukan sesuatu dari masa lalu keluarganya yang membuat seluruh hidupnya terasa seperti kebohongan. Tentang ayahnya. Tentang ibunya. Dan tentang alasan kenapa ia selama ini merasa seperti seseorang yang tidak pernah benar-benar diinginkan. Mungkin selama ini Raka sibuk mencari tahu kenapa bapaknya pergi. Padahal ada pertanyaan yang jauh lebih menyakitkan: Kalau sejak awal semua orang takut Raka akan menjadi seperti bapaknya, siapa yang akan memberinya kesempatan untuk menjadi dirinya sendiri?

Kisah si sulung yang menyadari bahwa dirinya harus menjadi seseorang yang mengerti keadaaan di dalam rumah. Si sulung memilki tanggung jawab yang tidak bisa diabaikan begitu saja, menjadi pendengar yang baik dari segala sisi, menjadi penengah diantara para anggota keluarga, memikirkan solusi untuk permasalahan dirumah, menjadi contoh baik bagi adiknya, dan masih banyak lagi peran yang harus ia jalani. Tanggung jawab itu datang tanpa diminta, namun terasa nyata. Hingga secara perlahan ia lupa bahwa dirinya juga perlu diperhatikan, disayang, ditanya, dan didengar. Ia lupa bahwa dirinya pun seorang anak, yang hampir tak punya ruang untuk menjadi dirinya sendiri. Mungkin tidak semua merasakan hal yang sama. Namun di banyak rumah, ada anak pertama yang tumbuh lebih cepat dari usianya. Inilah kisah tentang anak sulung yang menjadi tulang punggung keluarganya dan diam-diam hanya ingin dipeluk.

Pernahkah kamu merasa hidup terus berjalan, tetapi kamu tidak benar-benar tahu ke mana arahnya? Di tengah kesibukan, keramaian, pekerjaan, pertemanan, dan berbagai tuntutan hidup, ada saat ketika pikiran tiba-tiba berhenti dan bertanya: *"Sebenarnya aku sedang mencari apa?"* Melalui rangkaian refleksi yang jujur dan personal, *Kenapa Aku Bingung?* mengajak pembaca menyusuri pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang sering hadir diam-diam dalam kehidupan:tentang kesepian, rasa berbeda, pencarian jati diri, tujuan hidup, dan upaya memahami diri sendiri. Buku ini bukan kumpulan jawaban atau nasihat tentang bagaimana hidup seharusnya dijalani. Sebaliknya, buku ini adalah teman perjalanan bagi siapa saja yang pernah merasa tersesat, terlalu banyak berpikir, atau sedang mencari makna di balik kebingungan yang dirasakannya. Karena mungkin, kebingungan bukan tanda bahwa kita kehilangan arah. Mungkin, itu tanda bahwa kita sedang bertumbuh.

One boy was all it took to tear my life to pieces. I wish I could say it was just a bad break up like most other girls. No.. it wasn't. I was 12 or younger. I believe. He is a 6 years older than me so that must've made him 18 back then. It wasn't love.. no, it was torture. Not just any kind. It was the kind which makes you second guess everything you thought you knew about yourself. It was the kind where you thought hiding was the only way around it. It was the kind where losing yourself was easier than excepting the truth. It was the kind where you start believing that surviving and living is the same thing. It happened so long back that I can hardly remember who I was before the incident. Not before knowing him.. before surviving him. Because surviving him and knowing him is two different things. I am a survivor.. not a victim. I'm not proud of it. I never was. but it's time I understand that I am who I am because of who I was. I am who I am because of what I went through. and no one can take that from me. Even when, I feel like I'm surviving on nothing. At least I'm surviving, right?

Sa gitna ng mga araw na tila wala nang makaintindi sa iyong sakit, walang makapagbawas ng iyong pagod, at walang makapagsabi ng tamang salita para pagaanin ang iyong dinadala - ang aklat na ito ay nagsasabi ng isang katotohanan: ikaw ang may kakayahang maghilom ng sarili mo. Ang How to Heal When No One Else Can ay isang personal, malalim, at praktikal na gabay para sa mga taong nais muling bumangon matapos ang sakit, pagkabigo, pagtataksil, pagkawala, at mga sugat ng buhay. Hindi ito nangangako ng mabilisang lunas o perpektong resulta. Sa halip, tinutulungan ka nitong tanggapin ang iyong kasalukuyang kalagayan, harapin ang iyong mga sugat, at simulan ang paghilom sa sarili mong bilis. Batay sa mga tunay na karanasan ng maraming taong dumaan sa matinding pagsubok, at may mga sipi mula sa Bibliya at mga makabuluhang kasabihan, tutulungan ka ng aklat na ito na: - Tanggapin na hindi ka nag-iisa sa iyong sakit, kahit pakiramdam mo ay wala nang makaintindi; - Unawain na ang paghilom ay hindi nangangahulugang paglimot sa nakaraan, kundi pagbabago ng ugnayan mo rito; - Simulan ang proseso ng pagpapatawad sa iba at sa sarili; - Magtakda ng malusog na hangganan upang hindi ka na muling masaktan nang labis; - Hanapin muli ang pag-asa kahit sa gitna ng kadiliman; - At muling itayo ang iyong buhay nang may higit na lakas, karunungan, at pananampalataya. Ang aklat na ito ay para sa mga taong pagod na sa paghihintay ng ibang tao na ayusin ang kanilang buhay. Ito ay para sa mga handa nang tanggapin ang responsibilidad ngunit kailangan ng gabay upang magsimula. Dahil sa huli, ang pinakamahalagang paghilom ay hindi nangyayari kapag may nagligtas sa iyo - kundi kapag natutunan mo nang iligtas ang sarili mo, kasama ang Diyos. "Ang paghilom ay hindi nagsisimula kapag nawala ang sakit. Nagsisimula ito kapag pinayagan mo nang harapin ito, tanggapin ito, at huwag na itong pagtakpan pa." - Elton John Dy

The title says it all. What anyone would think of, late at night, gathered in here. Because why not. (I promise you the chapters get better as you go, I'm continuously writing more and more chapters and I'll be more than glad to see if any of you can relate to them.) Note: this book will probably never end, noting that each chapter is independent. I will keep writing as long I get inspired. #5 in #overthinking [4.05.2019] #1 in #midnightthoughts [5.05.2019]

"I See Fire Within" is a raw, unfiltered journey through pain, resilience, and the quiet strength that lives in every soul. This poem explores the battles we fight inside ourselves, the flames of inner fire that keep us moving forward, and the emotional truths we often hide from the world. Through each line, I confront grief, struggle, and the moments that try to break us-but also the moments that remind us of our own power. This is for anyone who has felt the weight of life yet continues to rise. It's for the warriors of the heart, the survivors of storms, and those who dare to witness their own truth. Let the fire within guide you, let the words resonate, and know: your strength is undeniable, even when unseen.

What do you do when all you can do to ease your pain is spill words from your brain and pray it helps someone else?

Aku adalah manusia yang penuh kontradiksi. Ingin dimengerti, tapi sering kali menutup diri. Ingin diperhatikan, tapi takut ketika seseorang terlalu dekat. Aku bukan seseorang yang mudah dipahami-terkadang berlebihan, terkadang terlalu dramatis, dan sering kali tenggelam dalam pikiranku sendiri. Karya ini adalah refleksi dari perjalanan batinku, tentang kelelahan yang terus menumpuk, kekacauan yang sulit dijelaskan, serta pencarian akan jati diri yang entah di mana. Aku lelah berpura-pura kuat, lelah mendengar bahwa aku pasti bisa melewati semua ini, karena kenyataannya, aku tidak selalu sekuat itu. Namun, di balik semua itu, aku masih ingin percaya bahwa ada sesuatu yang bisa diperbaiki. Bahwa meskipun aku merasa tersesat, aku masih bisa menemukan jalanku sendiri. Bukan untuk menjadi sempurna, tetapi untuk menerima bahwa aku, dengan segala kelebihan dan kekuranganku, tetap berhak untuk dipahami.

This book is a journey through pain, growth, and empowerment, reminding readers that toxic relationships are never their fault and that healing begins with acceptance and detachment. Through rediscovery-whether by embracing hobbies, writing, or practicing self-care-it shows how reconnecting with oneself leads to strength and clarity. Independence, self-respect, and healthy boundaries emerge as the foundation of true freedom, while starting again is portrayed not as failure, but as a courageous and natural act. The story acknowledges that some people and relationships are meant to be stepping stones rather than destinations, and that returning to those who caused harm is never necessary. Every tear, every lesson, and every step forward becomes part of reclaiming one's life, proving that although healing is messy, it is also beautiful, and that peace, growth, and self-love are the most powerful victories of all.

A self help guide.
