⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #funtoread Welcoming Feeling by Rara Noormega | Self Improvement | 16+ | Bahasa Inggris

Key points: self-love, self-esteem, Letting go, and forgiving.

Kumpulan pesan afirmasi positif dirangkai dengan kalimat indah, soft spoken, seperti sedang diingatkan oleh teman yang supportif.

Buku ini tidak ada aturan baku untuk membacanya urut dari awal sampai akhir.
Kalian bisa lihat dulu daftar isi, lalu pilih yang sesuai dengan apa yang dirasakan saat itu. Bisa juga, dibuka acak, dan akan mendapat pengalaman membaca, seperti hadiah kata-kata indah.

Di beberapa halaman, penulis menyisipkan Acrylic pouring Arts yang indah.

Buku ini bisa jadi pengingat untuk diri yang sedang terpuruk, atau penguat untuk kamu bangkit lagi. Karena hidup siklusnya memah suka duka terus.

Aku rekomendasiin buku ini buat kalian yang ingin mendapat words of affirmation, ingin mencintai diri sendiri dan berdamai dengan masa lalu.

Buku ini ada karena ada kak @rara . Thank you for writing this book very well.

Aku nangis di bab "The Things You Like to Ferget (1) dan (2)
Dan aku sangat suka bab "He said I am the Sea."

Buku yang menenangkan hati, bahkan kita tidak perlu khawatir jika ingin membacanya secara acak maupun lompat-lompat tergantung perasaan kita saat menggenggam buku tersebut. Buku ini menggunakan bahasa inggris, namun padanan kata atau frasa bahasa inggris yang digunakan masih mudah untuk dipahami. Membaca buku ini seakan merefleksikan perasaan yang kita rasakan dan tulisan di dalam buku ini seolah memahami perasaan yang sedang dialami. Aku juga suka ilustrasi abstrak di buku ini, seola-olah penulisnya berusaha menggambarkan bagaimana perasaan yang dialami dalam bentuk ilustrasi dan warna yang apapun warnanya, sama indahnya dan sangat berarti semua perasaan itu.

[Sinniati · Rating 5 out of 5]

I rarely read books by Indonesian authors, as many of them tend to feel a bit surface-level to me. But Welcoming Feeling by Rara was a pleasant surprise — like having a heart-to-heart conversation with a best friend or a quiet moment with a kind therapist.

There’s a warmth and sincerity in the way Rara writes that made me feel seen and understood. Her words brought comfort without trying too hard to be profound, and that’s exactly what made the book feel so genuine.

This is the kind of book I can come back to again and again — not just to reread, but to re-feel. A beautiful reminder that sometimes, soft words can carry deep healing.

Welcoming Feelings is a gentle embrace for the heart. Every page feels like a quiet whisper reminding you that it’s okay to slow down, to breathe, and to simply feel. The writings are simple yet deeply comforting, carrying a warmth that eases the heaviness we sometimes hold inside.

It doesn’t rush you, it doesn’t overwhelm you it just sits with you, like a kind friend who listens without judgment. Perfect for moments when life feels a little too heavy, this book gives peace, softness, and clarity in the most natural way.

2,5/5
maybe I'm rushing through it but while I enjoyed the beginning part of this book, as I got more pages read, it feels repetitive to the point I'm sick from the positive vibes of all these comforting words.
maybe I read this book at a wrong time.
I'm not sure.

[readwithsyll · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars.

this is more like those ‘thought catalog’ books, that packed with self-assurance about embracing life through up and downs.

it’s also supported with beautiful illustrations that you can enjoy it while reading. it’s also can be read from any pages you want.

personally i recommend you to read it slowly so you can really devour the words by words!

[Lailiya Rohmana · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book contains the journey to understand your own feeling. A type of book which will elaborate with afternoon tea, no need to rush it and go with the flow of the book.

[Nava · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reading this book felt like being gently held during my hardest days. Rara’s words are soft, sincere, and deeply comforting—a reminder that it’s okay to feel everything. While the repetition across pages sometimes felt a bit much, the overall warmth and emotional support it offers make it a beautiful companion for tough times.

These are my favorite parts of this book:
“Just like the moon,
you are not always whole,
but you are cherished and loved,
in every phase that you are in.”

“I wish you bloom,
to be the most you that
you could ever be.”
