Irwan, do you know that your writing is superb? Has anyone ever mention it to you? Not just the language but also the content.

“

your writings are clear, honest, kind and humble. You balanced up everything very well in every sentence. Takde prejudice. [No prejudice.] The writing itself reflects the real you in person.

Honestly, this year has been a really tough year for me. I don’t know exactly how it came about but it took a toll on me mentally and emotionally I guess. When I stumbled upon your blog, you said there that you write to help someone, anyone, even if you don’t know about it. Well, your writing really helped me. I can’t really remember which one was it but it made me cry. A cry of relief probably but I felt better after that and it gave me hope that I could keep on continuing to work hard and improve myself so that I can also help others.

There is no specific intention of me writing this down, so I guess it would just be the feelings I have when I read your articles… I have no doubt to say that you are one of my favorite lecturers, and this is not just how I think, my friend said and I quote: ‘Dr. Irwan is so charming’ (she meant how knowledgeable and professional you are). I personally felt so warm and inspired when you told us your life… I was so touched by how you confronted the pain and fear in your study and how you got the courage to handle all the obstacles in your life… you can also be interesting and funny, I read the ten things about you on the front page and it feels so warm how you love your life and are having fun with it… So that’s it, just what I had in mind at this moment and I hope it was not too boring or too long, I am so grateful to meet such a great lecturer… and I don’t think I will ever forget these.
