Can't get enough of this city. Wasn't my favorite tho. But accidentally visited for like.... 7 times?

You know where it is. 

Here is to sum up my journey for almost 4 years. I know those aren‘t enough to express how grateful I am. 
Firstly I want to thank Allah, for giving me the opportunity to do my bachelor here, for everything that made this possible. Then my number one support system; mom and dad. For giving me all the stuff I need for school, for trusting my decisions, for the words those awakened my tired soul. Unan dan Ugi, for trusting my ability and for not pushing too hard.

My Friend who also came with me to Germany since day 1; Deasy Gayatri, for helping me and understanding my childish acts, Riska Muliyanasari, for listening all my doubts and being there whenever I was down, Christyne Widya Arryani, for teaching me how to not give a damn about everything, Ridwan Hanif Abdurrasyid, for letting me choose my own path, and all my fellas; Vicky Fajar Adeputra, Dea Luxita Guntala, Rahmat Diaz Hermawan, Akoska Pratama, Arief Eko Pramono, Audita Rulyandi.

My Studkol sweetheart: Paula Jevoni, for saying that I have potentials Fath Ainia Senja, for being a successful archi mate, Ariya Nalasetya for all the nice things you did, Adillah Mizwar, for bringing joy and laughter, Agung Gde, for all the sarcasm and tweets, Alifa Sarajevani, for all the late night calls and texts, Atina Taghsya for visiting me so often back then.

My beloved Hongyunlai; Ridho Ulul Azmi, for your companion through my campus life(and Björn too!), Citra Anjani Widyaningrum, for taking a good care of me, Nada Syakira Yulfinov, for being there whenever I need, Naila Karima, the only friend I had in Aachen back then, Yuni Widyastuti, for teaching me life, Ferina Indriyani, for listening all my guilts, Shanie Gumilang, for making me happy all the time, Ahsan Alamas for being my role model.

My Temanku; Fadel Muhammad, for all the curhat sessions and stuff, Ihsandi Dwinanto for being the best work partner, Randy Cendieno for being a very good friend whom I can count on.
For those whose names are unwritten, I am sorry. That doesn't me that you are not impactful for my life.



Thank you for those who are reading this :)


Much love,

Belum pernah dengan mata telanjangku melihat

Bangunan tinggi sumber cahaya

Penunjuk arah bagi kapal-kapal

Yang bahkan telah melaut untuk waktu berabad-abad

Berapa lama sampai mereka sadar arti sebuah mercusuar? 

Kapal mu mungkin menuju kesana

Daratan luas yang kamu impikan sejak lama

Menjemput asa mu, jatuh kan jangkar dan kau berada disana

Tepian daratan untuk bersauh

Yang kau sadari setelah nya kau tak lagi ingin menjauh

Tersenyum, sadar kau telah datang ke tempat yang kau agungkan sebagai tempat berlabuh

Sekilas kau melirik mercusuar di ujung sana

Menatap dan bergumam

“Terima kasih, cahaya mu menuntunku ke rumah“

Karena bukan mercusuar tempat sesungguhnya singgah

Aku termangu, 

mereka tak tahu

Mercusuar itu aku.
