My Second Solo Book Released, In The Middle of Hectic.

-
Actually this issa bit surprised, when I just on a whim writing "I want to make another solo book this year" on my goals at diary.
And boom, it's really happened not even one year after I write my first one.
Eh, and I just realized too that I write there I wanna publish another solo book again x)
Life sometimes can't be predicted right?

Well, to be honest I am really confused too at that time, like, should I make another solo book?
But I haven't finished my bachelor degree's thesis. I try too seek for Allah's answer which is the best for me.
And so yeah, I try to ask my mom, should I make it or not. And when she said yes and even give me the money for the writing event, it's just clear my doubts. And I trust that this is Allah's answer.

When writing this book, it's really surprising too. The method issa bit different from my first book.
Because on "There Is Hope", I didn't set any words goals that I should write for everyday. I also not make a structured chapter,  each chapter only has one subchapter(?)
That's why I kinda not satisfied with my first book coz it's so thin. Well, I mean that's also reasonable because that's my first time, right?

On this second solo book, I make goals to write minimum 500 words for each day (this one is 20-days streak writing event). But, it's kinda funny too that I am too enthusiastic that I even hit 1000 words or more for few days. And when I try to think about it, I always writing 100+/200+/more words than my goals lol. Maybe it's really true that writing is my passion x')
I am kinda glad too before writing it, I also use my time at Ramadhan and before that to read more books (ebooks and physical books) as I getting my E-Reader. I also meet and talks with many people, got new experiences too. So I got so many insights to write it into a book.

And also, what's the difference from my first book, I have many references for my second book. I am not just use my imagination, because writing also have connection with our knowledges.
I asked my friends that related to the topics that I wanna write too. My friends are so precious, they are awesome masyaallah.

I wanna say many thanks for 'em to make me easier to write this book. Also to my parents & my besties that always support me.
For all the readers of this blog, for friends on the real life and social media. Thank you so much!
And ofc don't forget I can't do all of this without Allah's help. He's the one that makes me stronger.

I also makin' some simple drawing to be included on the inside of the book. So, the book isn't just having text, it's also has a visual picture that related to it.

Oh yea, maybe that some people are confused like, "What's so important to write a solo book during my hectic days?"
Can I say, biidznillah because of it I can start my normal days again. Coz before that I am feeling empty, and can't be productive at all. 
I can't draw, can't really enjoying to do everything, can't do my thesis properly, my sleeping schedule also messed up. That's why I got insomnia for few months, I can only sleep after 2 PM or even when dawn call to prayer.
And you know what? My insomnia's gone, biidznillah right after I start to writing my second solo book. Maybe it's also because that I got refreshing time with my family too. I am really glad, Alhamdulillah.
I can be productive and kinda normal again now. I can start my day without feeling guilty and stressed.

Anyway, this second solo book is open for preorder while I am still on the hectic day for my thesis:')
I'll do my best to graduate.

I try to make contents again for promoting this book on my Instagram, you can see the first post here.

This is the specifications of the book :
For Indonesian people, you can buy the book via my WhatsApp. 

Yes, the title is "Fragile; But Strong" That's so me. And maybe you too?

I have a philosophy for this title👀 If you're curious, you have to buy my book for the answer!

Thank you so much for reading this post until the end~

Ketika sedang sedih, sering kali membuat kita lupa akan kebaikan-kebaikan yang kita dapatkan. Ketika sedang sedih, rasa syukur sangat sulit untuk dirasakan. Ketika sedang sedih, seakan merasa kita adalah orang yang paling menderita di dunia ini. Padahal, Allah telah berfirman bahwa Ia tidak akan membebani seseorang di luar kesanggupannya. لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا “Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya” (QS. Al-Baqarah: 286). Padahal, Allah telah berfirman bahwa jika kita menghitung nikmat-Nya maka tidak dapat terkira. وَإِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ “Dan jika kamu menghitung-hitung nikmat Allah, niscaya kamu tak dapat menentukan jumlahnya. Sesungguhnya Allah benar-benar Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.” (QS. An Nahl: 18). وَإِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ “Dan jika kamu menghitung nikmat Allah, tidaklah dapat kamu menghinggaka

Tak Sesederhana Yang Terlihat.

Ia orang yang sederhana. Mudah bahagia, dari hal-hal kecil dan sederhana di sekitarnya. Ia orang yang sederhana. Mudah pula terpikirkan, menjadi cemas dan tak beraturan, 'hanya' karena hal-hal yang terlihat kecil bagi sebagian orang. Semua serasa seimbang, antara perasaannya yang mudah bahagia dan mudah tak bahagia. Orang-orang yang tak terlalu mengenalnya terkadang melihat dari satu sisi saja, seolah Ia adalah manusia yang sempurna. Seolah tak ada masalah berarti yang terjadi pada dirinya. Padahal tak ada yang sempurna di dunia ini selain Allah ta'ala saja. Kita dapat cepat bahagia, setelah sebelumnya bersedih. Kita dapat tertawa, setelah sebelumnya penuh amarah dan kekesalan. Ini memperlihatkan seberapa rumitnya emosi yang terjadi sebagai manusia. Seringkali kita tak dapat menyadari dan memahami emosi yang benar-benar kita rasakan dalam diri. Sebab, kita terlalu fokus pada kesulitan yang ada, sehingga lupa untuk sadar dan lupa apa yang sebenarnya dirasakan diri. Mengontro

Sisa Dari Takdir

-
Pelan, namun pasti. Ku terima segala takdir yang Allah tuliskan. Ku tahu tak ada gunanya menyalahkan hal yang telah terjadi. Walaupun begitu, sisa-sisa dari hal itu tetap masih ada. Rasa traumatis itu masih ada. Akibatnya masih ada. Dan ku tak bisa memungkirinya. Terlalu lama denial juga tak baik. Sedih dan takut terhadap hal yang sudah terjadi, bukan berarti tak menerima takdir. Namun perlu waktu untuk bisa mengerti, dan memahami bahwa terkadang tak semua hal bisa sesuai apa yang kita inginkan. Pikiran berlebihan pun tak bisa dikendalikan, Ini bukan hal yang kuinginkan. Ku telah berusaha untuk menghilangkannya, namun tak mudah. Perlu waktu untuk menyembuhkan luka-luka itu. Perlu waktu untuk menghilangkan rasa takut itu. Tak semua orang pantas untuk dijadikan tempat curahan hati. Tak semua orang mampu memberikan respon sesuai yang diinginkan. Tak semua orang dapat memahami. Dan yang tersisa, hanyalah aku dan Allah. Menerima takdir, bukan berarti mengenyampingkan efek sampingnya. —Rihla
