One day you look around and nothing is familiar, not even your own face. My name once meant daughter, grandaughter, friend, sister, beloved.

To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go. ”

“ Tuhan kan nggak mungkin langsung sedekah ke orangorang, ya kalianlah sedekah duit kalau punya duit, sedekah ilmu, sedekah senyum. Masa sih kalau sudah gitu Tuhan gak bales cintamu?
