Writing Diaries on Bottles
Bismillah.
It's been 43 days since I install Bottled App. At first, I only install it cause I'm kinda off on Slowly App. Honestly the first reaction after installing Bottled is... i'm frustated and disappointed. People use this app as dating app, I'm not there for that.
So instead expecting a lot from other people, I chose to enjoy the Diary tools there. It is literally just like Stories on Instagram, 24 hours timed, after that, archieved. People still see the archieved. There's a choice whether we'll make our diaries public or seen only by friend.
I don't write a long post like in blogs, but I think it's good to archieve what I wrote there in this blog from time to time. So that this blog will not be too dusty ^^

"Have you had a sudden trip? Not for vacation. But because of a sad news delivered from your relatives.
How's your feeling on the way to go there?
Does your mind play history of memory with the person who just went away to life after death?
Can you still smile and feel a little bit calm seeing the beautiful sky, the scenery on the way?
Would your fingers try to knit words into an imperfect poetry or sentence like this?
Or you just try to blank your mind with loud melody in your ears?
Or would your lips busy sending every good prayer for every special person in your life? Don't you know safar means a good time to make du'a?"

Why people go to such length and pretend to be someone else?
Are they still looking for who they are?
Are they afraid of people judgement of who they are?
Are they not aware, that each pretending they do will only make them lost themselves?

I think for now, 3 diaries are enough to be imported here. There's a lot to say about this app, but I think I don't have energy to vent about it. Honestly... I feel like, I still need community or place where I could practice my english or other language, but sometimes it feels like wasting time. But who knows, while interacting with others, we can also do "indirect da'wah".
Alhamdulillah from Bottles I met many Indonesian girl whom I get new inspiration and perspective too. And I also met a girl from Bangladesh who loves reading, and I feel good that I know where I could talk to when I need motivation to read. Because of her, I start reading Disease and The Cure by Ibn Qayyim Al Jauziyyah. I read that book one day only a few pages because someone ask me to return a borrowed book. I only start reading it, and probably will read it at my own pace. But let's start from a page!

That's all. Sorry for the broken english. Dzulhijjah is coming! May Allah gives us barakah in those special days ahead. Aamiin.
Wallahua'lam.
