“My family and my friends… they’re okay. They make all my moments special. We are not always up to something, but sometimes we don’t see that it might be the last day with one of them. So I try to find fun in every moment. It’s easy for small towns. Our happiness is a new mall opening and a new museum. The train in the zoo, the book fair, and Disneyland. Everything is simple here, love and life. Simple and beautiful. — Arya Kashyap”

“Until now, I haven’t had the best luck with Siddhartha. But every day before today, I was jealous of his girlfriends. I wondered if he would ever think of the girl who found him on the internet and wrote a book about it. Every day before today, I used to look at the bittersweet letters that he never read. And today, when I look back at that time, it feels nice. The guy who was just a daydream. Today he hugged me, and I have a Polaroid of us. It might be his worst, but it’s my storybook New Year’s Eve. — Arya Kashyap”

“I that am of your blood was taken from you For your better health; look no more upon 't, But cast it to the ground regardlessly, Let the common sewer take it from distinction: Beneath the stars, upon yon meteor Ever hung my fate, 'mongst things corruptible; I ne'er could pluck it from him; my loathing Was prophet to the rest, but ne'er believed.”

“Our family was an organic, free-range, humanely sourced kind of family. The kind of family who uses plant-based cleaners that aren’t strong enough to actually degrease anything so every pot and pan has a sort of waxy sheen on it forever. My parents were hippies and didn’t do anything according to the status quo. I’m pretty sure my father still wakes up every morning, checks in on what the entire world is doing, and then does the opposite.”

“Itu juga gunanya keluarga, kan? Saling mendukung di segala keadaan, baik atau buruk, bukannya memperburuk? Apa kita nggak cukup dengan ada buat satu sama lain dan saling menguatkan? Tanpa dibebani ekspektasi kamu yang selalu ingin berkembang? Berkembang yang seperti apa dulu, Sof? Buat pengakuan orang lain? Supaya bisa diterima sama orang lain? Itu yang bikin kamu selalu membandingkan apa yang kamu punya dengan apa yang dipunya orang lain. Standar kamu. Ekspektasi kamu. Bikin silau!”
