Welcome to Runni’s Scented Memoirs!
Hi, I’m Runni. I write to express thoughts because words are a quiet form of self-expression. Writing, to me, is a way to slow down and make sense of what moves through life, both softly and sharply.
Here on Substack, you’ll find reflections on scent, sound, language, memory, and everyday life. Sometimes about aromas, often about people.
If anything here stays with you, I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment, share a post, or simply subscribe to get future posts delivered to your inbox.
Thank you for reading. I hope something here lingers with you, long after the words are gone.
— Runnilune (Raihan Khairunnisa)
Want to collaborate?
If you’re looking for someone who can write with depth, honesty, and a sense of texture—whether it's for something creative, reflective, or more research-driven—I’d love to hear from you.
Things I can help with:
Essays (personal, cultural, sensory, science-adjacent)
Brand storytelling, SEO writing
Editorial collaborations, guest columns, or joint projects
Research-based writing that still reads like a story
Poetic fragments or slow thoughts for creative projects
Thinking with you—sometimes that's where the best ideas come from
If you're building something and need words that stay with people a little longer, maybe we can make something together.

Not sure where to begin?
I write about science, memory, reflections, daily life, and pop culture. Some pieces are poems, others are essays or casual observations. I’ve organized my writing into sections for easy navigation. Check the [Navigation] to find what speaks to you.
This way, you won’t get lost—but if you do, I hope it’s the good kind of lost. :)
Why subscribe?
I don’t write on a strict schedule, life moves in unpredictable rhythms, and so does this space. But when something stirs me enough to write, I share it here. If you subscribe, you’ll get my latest posts straight to your inbox. No pressure, no algorithms, just honest words when they’re ready.
Share if it lingers
If a piece speaks to you, sharing it is one of the kindest things you can do. Send it to a friend, drop the link somewhere, or bring it up in a conversation. Words are meant to travel. Quietly, but meaningfully. Also, I’d be grateful if mine reach someone new through you. :D
Want to buy me a coffee?
If you’ve found something meaningful here—whether it made you smile, think, or even just a fleeting thought—consider supporting me on Ko-fi or Saweria.
By powering me up with caffeine, we both win! I write more, you read more. <3 Also, it keeps the words flowing and stops me from selling my soul entirely—just a small piece for now, I promise.
Where to find me
You can also find me on Medium and Twitter, where I sometimes think out loud in shorter bursts.
I write mostly in English, but sometimes in Bahasa Indonesia. If Indonesian isn't your first language, or if you're curious to read those pieces in English, feel free to explore my Medium. I publish full-English adaptations of selected Substack essays there—not direct translations, but reimagined and expanded for a wider context. Let’s talk, exchange thoughts, or just quietly coexist online. All forms of connection are welcome here. :)
