Dear little Anh,
It is Anh from October 10, 2025, exactly 6 months later into the future. I came across your blog entry and have decided to write to you, to say that I am sorry and everything will be ok.
You are feeling defeated. I get it. You are in a strange land and working hard to find your own place, with everything that is happening all at once, yet nothing seems to go as planned. You probably regret your decision from day one. It’s been exhausting. You know, and you have known it all along: you need to slow down and rest.
You are feeling lost. Getting lost right there at the crossroad is ineffably hard, especially that you have been in the same situation in the last two years. But it is because that you care so much and you give yourself so much pressure as a learned habit. Thus it is understandable that you feel that way. I am sorry, my little Anh, and I wish I could be there to take that pressure away from you, to tell you that whatever decision you make is meant to be.
You are feeling heavy. You are sensing a big pull from your family in Vietnam. You miss Mom. You carry so so much love. For now, I can tell you that you have made the right call to come home. Please enjoy your time with Mom. Please take care of her, for me. Please tell her that I love her so much, tell her that we love her. No matter what will happen, just remember that she loves you too – even if you don’t love yourself. Mom is always with you, wherever you go.
I can’t spoil the future yet but all I can tell is that, life will be tough but you will push it through. You will find something that will make sense of everything. You will meet new lovely people. You will start a new journey that you would never expect. Your loved ones will always be with you. I will be with you too, just speak up…
