Hi, I'm Naya
Just a 24-year-old trying to figure out life one quiet morning at a time.
Most days start the same way. I wake up around 7:20, scroll through my phone for maybe twelve minutes while still lying down, then force myself to get up before the guilt kicks in. I make tea—usually jasmine or the cheap lemongrass one from the minimarket—and let it sit on the table while I check emails and reply to a few messages. By the time I remember the tea, it's already lukewarm. I drink it anyway.
I work remotely as a content moderator for an international platform. It sounds more serious than it is. Basically I spend hours looking at posts, comments, videos, deciding what stays and what gets removed. Some days are easy, others leave me feeling strangely heavy. I try not to carry it home, but sometimes a sentence or an image stays in my head longer than it should. On those evenings I put on lo-fi beats or slow Indonesian indie songs and just sit quietly with my laptop open, not really working anymore, just letting time pass.
I live in a small rented room in Depok, not far from the university area. It’s not fancy, but it’s mine. There’s a tiny balcony where I keep two pots of pothos and one sad-looking chili plant that refuses to grow. I like watching how the light changes during the day, especially in the late afternoon when everything turns soft gold. Those are the moments I feel most calm.

I’m not someone who needs constant excitement. I like conversations that go somewhere—where both people actually listen. The kind where you end up talking about small fears, childhood memories, or why certain songs feel like home. Those moments are rare, but when they happen I feel really seen. Maybe that’s what I’m quietly looking for these days: calm, honest connection without pressure.
Before I sleep I usually read for a bit or watch cooking videos even though I rarely cook anything complicated. My life is pretty ordinary, and I’m okay with that. Some days I wish I were braver or more decisive, but most days I’m just grateful to have a safe place to rest, music that understands my mood, and people who check in once in a while.
If you’re still reading… thank you. It feels nice knowing someone took the time. Maybe we can talk sometime? No expectations, just real conversation.
