hi, kak Clau!  i hope you are doing fine by now..
          
          mau sedikit throwback yaa, aku udah baca Aral sejak ceritanya baru dipublish di platform ini. Maybe around 2018 aku pertama kali baca nya. I really love the story, cara kamu menggambarkan sebuah alur cerita lewat tulisan tuh aku suka banget kak.. aku juga cinta banget sama karakter karakter di Aral. Sampai pernah sekali aku memutuskan untuk pakai sepenggal nama salah satu karakter cerita Aral sebagai nama OC aku di roleplay. And ya... aku sempet minta izin kamu kak di twitter waktu itu dan kamu mengizinkan. Dari situ, beberapa kali setiap aku menemukan kalimat menarik yang aku baca di cerita Aral selalu aku share di twitter aku dan di setiap postinganku itu lah kak Clau selalu mampir buat say thank you.. Sebaik itu lah kamu kak! I'm the who should say thank u.
          
          Sebanyak apapun aku berharap agar cerita Aral dilanjutin, aku lebih berharap you're doing okay with your life, do anything you want to do and be happy rn..  

Kita buat web series di cerita kamu yuk..

Kayaknya bener kalo tulisanku ga worth it soalnya ga ada yang baca dan temen-temenku/keluargaku ga ada yang peduli juga sejauh ini. Mau aku kayang, koprol, akrobat segala macem juga ga matter. I've been dreaming to make something out of this since middle school, but who am I kidding? I don't have the things to make it. Mungkin ini dikasih signs buat “Udahan, yuk, Cla. Waktunya berhenti.”

In case I don't make it in the near future, please say hi to stray cats if you find one. When you see wild flowers, it'll be nice if you think of me once or twice. Also, please laugh at funny things for me. Don't judge coffees, I loved them in this lifetime. I can't promise things will be alright, I can't even promise to stay when I can't make it, but please be okay with yourself.

hai kak, I just started reading aral and I really adore the story, I want to be your buddy huhuhu

Hi, lovelies! Maaf, ya, udah ngilang lima bulan... I work now and it's hectic as hell. Semoga dapet libur secepatnya, ya, biar bisa balik nulis Aral lagi. In the meantime, I finally start the Podcast I've been talking about. Pokoknya kita bahas back story Aral sebanyak mungkin di sini. Yuk, mari.

Kak Claud, masya Allah aku kangen Aral :(((

Hi, lovelies!
          
          Maaf bgt blm update Aral karena terakhir aku quadruple update masih sepi, takutnya kl aku terabas double update lagi nanti banyak yg blm catch up. I'll definitely be back, insya Allah sebelum New Year's Eve.
          
          In the meantime, aku lagi ngecoach. I'm so excited since I choreographed my fav song + it'll probably be my retirement stage with this dance crew. I wish I could share my daily practices—but that part of me is irrelevant with ((this)) part of me as morgenclau here.
          
          Sadly, lagi banyak urusan irl so I need to clear my head and recover from physical fatigue real quick. After I perform on the stage, I'll be back as morgenclau.
          
          Gosh, I miss Liana and Jaron and their crazy circles of friends. Can't wait to see y'all again and to reply to your comments!
          
          Hope everyone has a nice weekend <3

I dreamed of meeting someone who had died years ago. He looked at me like he knew that I knew he wasn't supposed to be back alive. He was breathing next to me and I could feel his heartbeat with my fingertips. I don't know what it was supposed to mean but it haunted me for days—up to this very second. I don't know what to do and how to escape my own mind.

Job-seeking is really mentally exhausting. Freelance works don't always come and barely cover all the bills. Other parents keep saying I'm jobless because what I do doesn't count as a legit work for them. Pursuing a writing career is a joke for them. I keep applying for vacancies everywhere and going through tests in start-ups, government offices, think tanks, and elsewhere but they keep rejecting me last minute because I'm either too amateur or too overqualified for them. I feel useless. People always take me, my qualifications, and my capabilities as a joke. Maybe I was right that one time—I shouldn't really continue on living if this is how I end up living like. I'm such a fool.
