Menulis membebaskanku. Membesarkanku. Memberanikanku. Aku menulis untuk membaca kehidupan. Aku menulis untuk berkaca. Aku menulis untuk melepaskan air mata. Aku menulis untuk menjadikanku manusia. Aku menulis untuk membunuh malam. Aku menulis untuk memaknai hidup. Aku menulis untuk bersyukur. Aku menulis karena menulis menyembuhkan. Aku menulis untuk merapikan masa lalu. Aku menulis karena kata-kata bisa menguatkan. Aku menulis untuk menggali hati nurani. Menulis adalah meditasi. ↗

If you will allow my indulgence for a moment, I will suggest that such skepticism is a form of misogyny. For only a misogynist would argue that women are either saints or seductresses—virgins and whores. Of course, a woman, or a man for that matter, can be both—the muse can be lover to both soul and body. ↗
