Blessed - Bersyukur

Currently reading: Stilettale by LM Cendana Listening to: Daniel Caesar - Blessed note: I am sorry for this post is gonna be in English. Mohon maaf terlebih dahulu karena saya akan menulis dalam Bahasa Inggris. This is not a story about love. I thought this morning under the shower, that I have been so blessed with life.

Saat menonton The Half of It, aku kira Ellie tidak menganggap Aster sebagai romantic interest, tapi ternyata begitulah adanya. Aku sudah mendengar spoiler bahwa film ini mengandung same-sex interest, tapi aku tidak mengharapkan demikian. Aku ada sedikit kecewa karena menurutku Aster mungkin mencari teman perempuan yang tulus ingin bertema...
