countdown to another lie

Day 4
17 November 2020

It's tiring to do things all over again.
It's tiring to always questioning the same thing.
It's very tiring to build that wall back up.
It's tiring to be doubtful about hindsight moments.

Yey I haven't stopped.
Why?

Romantisme Allah Lewat Azan: Panggilan Mesra dari Langit

-

Pernah nggak sih, kamu lagi sibuk banget—entah itu kerjaan numpuk, anak-anak ribut, hati lagi nggak karuan—tiba-tiba terdengar suara azan? Dan entah kenapa, dadamu terasa seperti ditarik… pelan, lembut, tapi dalam. Itulah azan. Panggilan mesra dari Allah. Seruan cinta dari langit untuk hati yang sering lelah. Azan itu bukan sekadar tanda waktu salat. Lebih dari itu, ia adalah surat cinta lima kali sehari dari Tuhan yang nggak pernah lelah menunggu kita pulang. Di saat semua hal duniawi membuat kita lupa arah, Allah dengan sabar mengirim azan—mengundang kita kembali ke pangkuan-Nya. “ Hayya ‘ala ash-shalah…” Mari, datang ke shalat. Bukankah itu terdengar seperti, “ Ayo, sini… istirahat dulu. Ceritakan semuanya pada-Ku.”? Dan saat kita dengar: “ Hayya ‘ala al-falah…” Kita diingatkan bahwa kemenangan, kebahagiaan sejati, bukan di notifikasi media sosial atau gaji bulanan. Tapi di sujud yang sunyi, di air mata yang jatuh di sajadah. Bahkan setan pun takut saat azan berkumandang...

Why Making Everything Digital Is Important

— And Why You Should Care About How It’s Stored and Shared Yesterday, I caught up with an old friend over coffee — someone I deeply admire for her work in the field of marketing and communication consultancy. She’s currently handling a crisis case involving a public figure whose academic credentials are being questioned. But the twist is: her client isn’t the public figure — it’s the institution that's now under scrutiny. People are asking: “Is it true this person graduated from your university?” - What makes it tough, she told me, is the absence of a reliable digital trail. “Back then,” she said, “the graduation records were still paper-based. There were no standardised digital archives, no traces and solid online proof of verified diplomas, no university portal like the ones we see today.” In short, the institution can’t provide a verifiable digital proof, even though the person may well have graduated legitimately. And now, they’re paying the price in credibility. That conversa...

Loneliness: It's Not Always About Who Texted You Last

The other day, my friend was feeling pretty low. He kept saying, "Nobody cares. Nobody checks on me anymore." It’s tough to see someone you care about hurting like that. But as we talked, I realised something important: He wasn’t actually abandoned — he was just stuck in a mindset that made him feel alone, even when he wasn’t. This made me think of Sadness from Inside Out 2 . If you remember her (how could you not?), Sadness is that little blue teardrop of a character who feels everything deeply . She sees the world through a heavy, emotional lens, which can sometimes make even normal situations feel overwhelmingly lonely. Here’s the truth: Loneliness isn’t just about how many texts or invites you get. It’s a state of mind . You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely, or be completely alone and feel totally at peace. According to research by Hawkley and Cacioppo (2010), loneliness is actually more about the perception of social isolation than about real, phy...
