Today, I want to take a moment to reflect on a theme that has been quietly weaving its way through this year—which is about strength. I know for sure that for me and you, this was the year where strength wasn’t measured by what your body could endure but by what your heart could carry ♡

In today’s episode, I will remind you that trying your best can look different each day. Whether it’s getting out of bed, setting boundaries, or allowing yourself to feel, every small step matters.

Embrace your journey without the pressure of perfection and remember that it’s okay to be a beautifully human work in progress. May this episode brings you a moment of calm and connection.

I hope you can thank yourself for staying alive until today. Thank you for being here. Thank you for allowing yourself to listen to these loving words. Thank you for standing tall this whole time although there were times when you just wanted to give up. Thank you for allowing yourself to change, to bloom, and to be the most ‘you’ that you can ever be. Thank you for allowing yourself to grow through different seasons of your life. So, I hope you appreciate how far you’ve moved forward.

I told you my story, this story, was simply because I want you to keep going. I want you to believe that miracles do exist. I want you to grow hope within your heart, no matter how dark the situation is. I want to tell you that it is truly possible to rise up again, even when you feel like, you’ve been in the lowest point of your life. I want to make you believe that you have the strength and you have what it takes to stand tall again. You have what it takes to survive. And I do believe, from the deepest part of my heart, that you are stronger than you think you are. You are smart, you are brave, you are resilient, and you are capable of going through any hardships that this life is giving you.

So, I am here to remind you that, even here, even in your darkness and brokenness, you deserve to feel worthy. You deserve to feel seen, to be heard, and to be understood. In this kind of brokenness, you still deserve to feel worthy of receiving love. The kind of love which makes you believe in hope. The kind of love which makes you recognize the light within you. You are still worthy to receive a genuine love which makes your heart feels full, regardless of your scars and brokenness.

Tenang, nggak semua pertanyaan juga harus dijawab sekarang. Yang penting, kita nggak berhenti mencoba. Nggak berhenti berjalan, berjuang, dan berusaha. Istirahat dan berhenti sebentar boleh, kok. Kamu berhak untuk diam sejenak, berhak untuk menikmati perjalanan, berhak untuk ngerasa sedih, capek, marah, atau bahkan minta bantuan. Kamu berhak untuk cerita, bersuara, beropini, dan belajar selama prosesnya. Tapi, setelah istirahat, jangan lupa untuk mulai lagi, ya?

At one point in your life, you'll know how it feels to be strong enough to stand tall with or without anyone's presence. You'll no longer chase people or things, because you know exactly that you'll attract what's meant to be yours.

Untuk kamu yang sedang berproses. Untuk kamu yang sedang di tengah perjalanan dalam mencapai tujuan atau yang sedang mencari jalan keluar. Untuk kamu yang sibuk mengetuk pintu rezeki, sedang dalam proses menyelesaikan skripsi, atau berjuang dalam melewati pandemi. Untuk kamu yang baru saja kehilangan, sedang berusaha melepaskan, atau sedang belajar cara mengikhlaskan. Selamat, ya, selama ini kamu sudah sukses dalam berproses. Kamu berhasil untuk tetap berjalan walaupun kadang sulit rasanya untuk bisa melangkah ke depan. Mungkin, kamu masih jauh dari tujuan, tapi kamu boleh mengapresiasi diri yang tetap bertahan dan berjuang walaupun pelan-pelan.

For years, you let yourself bleed regrets here and there as you tried to achieve those dreams which weren’t yours. Then, you started to feel empty and hollow as you walked down the street being someone you were not. Dear one, this is the time to bring back your inner self. This is the time to see who you truly are and start to be proud of who you really are.
