bright side

some of you might still remember how i used to write blogs in 2014, some of you loved reading it, some of you hoped for more. i'm back, putas.

quarantine + ramadan. one hell of a combination.

it's hard, for some of us. it really is. having to stay sane in the house when all you can do is really just procrastinate and literally do nothing. ask me and i would say it's impossible. but hey, it has been 43 days, we've made it this far.

this is not going to be a long one, i felt inspired to write this as i was having a conversation with my brother. sedar tak sedar, quarantine season has been like a restart button, to all of us. made us better in some way, in ways that i cannot explain. i have never experienced ramadan like this before. the "bertukar makanan" culture have become so meriah now. 

sebak. i remember feeling sad these past few years because i thought the culture was fading, we didn't receive any food from our neighbors and families (not that i put high expectations on people) but i just miss that, the culture.

although this syawal we wouldn't be experiencing the mercun, the ziarah menziarahi, the open houses, but seeing people masak masak with their families on instagram, trying new hobbies, having tarawih at home, online classes, new businesses, it's all new, it's progress. and it made me happy.

if you're not feeling fine, if you're struggling, hang on tight. it's okay to not be okay. you'll get through this.
