Ink and intention

I took several pictures by myself to mark this journey, both of getting tattoos on my arm and clavicle, and of claiming a part of myself. It was a moment where I documented something deeper than skin: my choice, my change, my story.

I had planned to get these tattoos two years ago, but only recently did I finally have the chance.

P.S. I didn't smile in the photos because I was going for something cool. But in real life, I laugh a lot.

Make a poem to you

Journey to us Do  not know how long it will take But I believe that one day, I will see you I will no longer passively wait as I used to Not only because I am getting older  But because I am also wiser And will not settle down until I found you You  are all that I long for -  An understanding, a connection, a long-lasting I stand here with an effort, a hope and a resilience You deserve all of my dedication  And you are worth the wait To  enter my heart, simple but secret In short, you should work harder than me Invest more and strive beyond me Only then I will see you standing where I am Finding  you is not different principle as all thing in my life Everything worthwhile must be learned and earned Valuable things take time with consistent striving But I will not leave myself eventually My happiness and well-being come first Do not tell me I am selfish It is your choice and my decision For I strongly believe this is how love works I   carry a pure...

Chuyện của Ngân: a beautiful reminder of true love

Luckily, I finished my third book in March, keeping up with my goal of reading 12 books a year. As I mentioned in an earlier post , I decided to buy Chuyện của Ngân after reading her Blog about her love story. Her love story is as pink as the book's cover --- something she also affirms in her writing. She met the right person at the very beginning of her love journey. This book is a must-read for those who want to believe in love --- not the kind found on screens or fairy tales, but love that is real, simple, and full of small, beautiful moments. However, I noticed that the book doesn't explore the early stages of her love story as much as her blog did, which I personally found more captivating. Perhaps it's something she intended to keep special for her Blog.

Honestly, I was deeply emotional, with tears...

When you finally arrive

When you finally arrive You only come when I am steady, when my personality is fully formed. You are not here when I struggle, nor when I am lost in doubt. You do not appear when I search for you, nor when I am close to giving up. But when I choose to focus on my life once again, that is when you finally arrive. Tell me— Are you selfish or have you simply been finding your way to me? --Quynh--                             P.S When I make dozens of poems for you, you come.                                                                                                                    ...
