You leave
But you dont stay gone
Why do you do that
Abandon the thing you want to keep
Why do you linger
In a  place you do not want to stay
Why do you think it’s okay to do both
Go and return all at once

– Rupi Kaur

I dont know why
I split myself open
For others knowing
Sewing myself up
Hurts this much
Afterward

– Milk and Honey

I don’t know what living a balanced life feels like
When I am sad
I don’t cry I pour
When I am happy
I don’t smile I glow
When I am angry
I don’t yell I burn
The good thing about feeling in extremes is
When I love I give them wings
But perhaps that isn’t such a good thing cause
They always tend to leave
And you should see me
When my heart is broken
I don’t grieve
I shatter

– Milk and Honey

If I wrote it in a book,
could I shelve it?

If I told of what you took,
would that help it?

If I will it,
can I un-feel it,
now I’ve felt it?

– Lang Leav

I don’t want you to love me because I’m good for you, because I say and do all the right things. Because I am everything you have been looking for.

I want to be the one that you didn’t see coming. The one who gets you under your skin. Who makes you unsteady. Who makes you question everything you have ever believed about love. Who makes you feel reckless and out of control. The one you are infuriatingly and inexplicably drawn to.

I don’t want to be the one who tucks you into bed—I want to be the reason why you can’t sleep at night.

Bedtime story. Yang ada jadi makin ga bisa tidur sik karena galav. Lang Leav emang paling-paling deh, sedih aja jadi puitis…

– Love and Misadventure

…

I want us to talk again—like the way we did before we wanted to do anything more than that. I want us to talk.

And if we never talk again, I want you to know that I miss that most of all—and every time the sun goes down, I think of all the things I wish I could tell you.

Masih ga bisa move on dari play kemaren… Marked as one of the happiest days of my life, watched the play of one of my fav book series in one of my fav cities in the world. Yak, ini untuk merayakan satu bulan resmi jadi mahasiswa lagi dan jadi UK residen 😀

Just finished reading this incredible book in 4 hours straight. First day of period plus the way Adhitya Mulya delivers the story make my face burst into tears. Such a nice thing to read!

One book one week (or month, perhaps?!) for 2015!

Gemuruh di hatiku mereda sendirinya
Langit menjadi lebih cerah
Dan udara tak lagi menyesakkan dada
Mungkin karena telah kutemukan
Definisi lain dari cinta
Makna tak lagi berasal dari pertemuan
Dan rasa rindu membuatku bahagia

– Always, Laila
