parents think about what they couldn't give, while children think about what they couldn't get © naurscripts

been there more times than I can count. wondering how much easier life would be if nothing ever went wrong but, I’ve come to understand that everything happens for a reason. the hurt, the mistakes, the betrayals shaped my mind & taught me not to become someone I once resented

you keep searching that restaurant’s name (again) and you erase the trace by clearing the search history. you mumble “this is so ridiculous," there are other restaurants, with better flavors, better everything but your taste buds still linger on that one old pasta you once had

"be childlike, not childish" to be childlike is to remain curious, open-hearted, and willing to learn from every experience with wonder to be childish is to harbor bitterness toward others and the world, blame everyone, and carrying a heart full of hate

ketika feeds instagram orang lain udah 4:5, sementara akunku masih 1:1

not forcing everything to go exactly as I planned the ambition has now shifted into a 'let it be' mindset. If it happens, then good. If not, maybe something better, that truly belongs to me, is on its way. what I lose might be someone else’s win. so I’ll be happy for them

the time you choose to compare yourself with others, it's the last day you feel comfortable with yourself it'll just waste your time instead of making you feel better. and it's understandable you feel small, but my dear, don't be too hard on yourself. we exist not to compete

• selalu berprasangka baik pada Tuhan kalau rencanaNya jauh lebih baik dari yang kita pikirkan • membandingkan diri sendiri cuma bikin kita gak puas sama hidup • sadari kalo akan selalu ada yang jauh lebih baik, tapi bukan berarti kita gak cukup • redefinisi sukses menurutmu

loving someone so far away. the kind of far no flight/message can reach. only prayers that might reach them. you feel miserable when you forget their voice. and when you miss them, all you can do is replay the memories, crying it hurts in places you didn’t even know could feel

Aku pernah dengar, level tertinggi dari "kebencian" adalah mengabaikannya, mendiamkannya, menganggapnya tidak ada. Jadi, selama kita masih rela menyisihkan waktu untuk mengkritisi atau mengomentari, artinya kita masih ✨️peduli✨️

"you don't have to love the job. you just have to love the life the job pays for" so I chose to spend it chasing experiences, new places, new people, and everything I've always wanted to try. I do it scared, but it almost always turns out better than I thought

and I hope we can also be someone who makes people believe that kindness still exists, someone who makes others think, ‘so this is what kindness looks like.’ because sometimes, all it takes is one person to restore someone's faith in the good

what’s happening now is what you once prayed for. you’ll receive it when God knows you’re ready. I also believe everything happens for a good reason. so, I keep telling myself everything that has happened was necessary to shape who I am today. in the end, it will all make sense

'living under the same roof as your parents and being able to be around them' we get bored of routine until the comfort is gone. and we realized everything we needed was always there. now you've left the city and miss what you once took for granted, home and the people in it

imo, our prayers are answered when we least expect it semakin tergesa-gesa dan 'memaksa' malah semakin lama terjawab. jadi, selain rutin doa & ibadah, kuncinya ada di 'tidak memburu-buru' atau ragu sama Allah. serahin semuanya ke Allah, kalo kita tanggung sendiri gaakan sanggup
