#mamaborodiary

Komik ini terinspirasi dari cerita ibuku. Ketika saya tanya, kenapa pilih kuliahnya di Bandung? (karena kalau gak salah beliau juga keterima di salah satu kampus unggulan di ibukota) Ibuku jawab "Supaya bisa ngerasain jalan ke sekolah sendirian, pakai payung." . Pas itu saya cuma bisa menertawakan, jawaban yang cukup aneh ya. Namun sekarang saya menyadari, Ibu dulu tumbuh sebagai anak perempuan di lingkungan tentara yang dispilin dan kadang mungkin membuatnya tidak dapat mengambil keputusan sendiri. Kuliah jauh dari rumah adalah salah satu langkah awalnya menjadi mandiri. Apa yang bagi perempuan lain sepele, ternyata menjadi awal keberanian bagi perempuan yang lain. . Selamat ulang tahun Ibu, @haniabd , terima kasih sudah terus menginspirasiku untuk menjadi mandiri 😍 love u always! . . *tadinya komiknya mau dijadikan surprise pas subuh-subuh, eh ketiduran dan keseling mom's duty as always haha 😂* . #mamaborodiary #selamatulangtahunutiboro https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPDKCQA_eG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p9hqcil6nu2s

English version! Actually the idea came from the sentence "Fight Our Own Monsters." which I'm pretty sure will be applied to everyone's stage of life. Been planning since a long time ago to make this journey into some kind of book-materials or graphic novels, what do you all think? But let's take it slow, shall we 🙈 . . again, thank you @bbcindonesia for publishing this 🙏 . . #mamaborodiary #dianiapsariforbbcindonesia https://www.instagram.com/p/BueQXQCAr8V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15ln9jp7gmadp

Ketika saya ditanya apa ketakutan dan kecemasan terbesar saya, saya langsung merefleksikan ketakutan terbesar saya sebagai orangtua. . Saya sering membayangkan tantangan dalam perjalanan membesarkan Bara yang berkebutuhan khusus, seperti meniti anak tangga yang tidak habis-habis, dan di bawah anak tangga tersebut ada monster dan hantu yang diam-diam menguntit, sama dengan rasa cemas dan takut yang pelan-pelan merayapi batin saya sebagai seorang ibu. Saya takut Bara tidak akan baik-baik saja tanpa saya. . Tapi kemudian saya tersadar, anak saya berkebutuhan khusus atau tidak, sebetulnya tantangan utama menjadi orang tua itu adalah, akan tiba suatu saat di masa depan saya harus berani melepasnya, melawan "monster"nya sendiri dan melihatnya mandiri. . Ilustrasi tentang ketakutan terbesar saya ini ada di laman instagram @bbcindonesia beserta karya ilustrator lainnya, terimakasih sekali lagi untuk mbak Isyana Artharini @bookishglam yang telah mengajak saya dalam project ini 😘 . . #dianiapsariforbbcindonesia #bbcindonesia #mamaborodiary https://www.instagram.com/p/BuIzWMuANSz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s73lk6s1nhrb

Last night @maharanipics texted me that she already made my #2018bestnine before I even thought about it 😂 ok so I decide to post this in the last hours of 2018 👌 . Ok, 2018 was started quite as a puzzling year, well..with some hospital visits, doctor appointments, which led me to new knowledges like neuropediatrics and children development disorders. Some of you reached me through DMs and encouraged me to share more about my son's condition, that my #mamaborodiary stories are inspirational, etc. Seriously, I would like to thank all of you, you don't know how much those mean to me, especially in those time that I don't wanna try anymore 😘 . But, in 2018 I also want to thank all the nicest people beside me, because I can still be productive as a wife, mother, illustrator, lecturer, friend, or everything you wanted to define me. Hope for a greater future for everyone! Happy New Year! . #2018bestnine #dianiapsaribestnine https://www.instagram.com/p/BsDe8GXAki0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t3qnk51o1t6

Not every hero wears cape, but this one wears "jarik" . . . . I remember when our son was still a small baby, had a colic in one of every time, my husband always held him and put him inside a traditional baby wrap called "jarik", soothed him and lulled him into sleep. And this still happen until three years later, during our time at hospital, my husband comforted our sick son, soothed him and lulled him into sleep. . . Funny how time flies, what would I do without you? Thanks for always being here for us 💓 Happy belated Father's Day, dear. . . #mamaborodiary #babywrap #papagendong
