About the author
A 23-year-old introvert Indonesian living in Germany. Severely jamming to Lover and Malibu Nights album is what gives her inspiration to write. She is currently studying Southeast Asian Studies and is very interested in learning various languages, as the only things she is good at are picking up foreign words and dancing her heart away.
"Lilac of Madness" is a story she wrote specifically to participate in the ysa23. Beyond limitation and challenges, she hopes to illustrate a lighthearted and unique love story that involves relatable struggles, yet still captures the beautiful reminiscence of youth.
