a late little gift
|
before you go in, press play ya. i wanted the first feeling of this page to sound like something soft.
for someone who still matters in a soft way
happy birthday,in my own little way.
this page is not here to make things heavy. i just wanted to leave something that feels warm, honest, and a little prettier than plain words.
birthday wish
i hope this year feels gentler to you.
more calm. more good surprises. more moments where life feels like it’s finally being nice to you.
01
the way some random days felt lighter just because you were around
02
how familiar everything felt back then, even the quiet parts
03
how some songs still sound like they accidentally belong to you
04
the fact that a few good memories still know how to stay soft
why i picked about you
because it sounds like remembering someone softly.
bukan tipe lagu yang terasa terlalu besar. it just feels close. kayak perasaan yang datang diam-diam, terus duduk sebentar, terus bikin kamu mikir ke orang yang sama lagi.
aku pilih lagu ini karena rasanya familiar. not because it’s the saddest song ever, tapi karena cara dia tinggal itu mirip sama beberapa hal tentang kamu di kepala aku.
and maybe that’s the most honest reason. some people leave the room, but the feeling of them doesn’t really rush to leave.
playlist
i left the playlist here too.
aku bikin ini dari lama. maybe you never noticed, maybe that’s okay. but i still wanted this page to keep it here, because some songs say things better than people do.
kalau embed-nya nggak kebuka di device tertentu, pakai tombol ini aja.
small note
i didn’t choose this song to make things sad. i chose it because it feels true.
cinematic story
maybe we were asked to grow first, before life lets us try again.
this part tells the story the way i hold it in my head: dari sma, satu kepanitiaan, ldr, toronto, sampai harapan buat ketemu lagi di waktu yang lebih baik.
story chapter
we met in high school
semuanya mulai di masa sma. awalnya cuma dua orang yang kebetulan ada di tempat yang sama, belum tahu kalau nanti satu sama lain bakal jadi bagian penting dari cerita ini.
maybe this is not the part where everything works out yet. maybe this is just the part where both of us become who we need to become first.
gallery
little pieces of you
not every memory has to be explained. some of them are already enough just by being here.
digital envelope
one small sealed thing.
this part is for the kind of words that feel nicer when they’re opened slowly.
leave a message for author
write something here.
pesan yang ditulis di sini bakal tersimpan di browser. jadi kamu bisa lihat lagi message-message yang masuk di device yang sama.
message wall
messages i can read here
before the letter
one last honest thing.
i rewrote this part from scratch because i wanted it to sound calmer, simpler, and more like something i’d actually say if i wasn’t trying too hard.
locked for a second
open this when you’re ready.
it’s just a birthday letter. simple, honest, and nothing louder than that.
last page
thank you for once feeling like home.
no dramatic ending. no complicated message. just a quiet thank you, left here on purpose.
