Eraser of Mind

 It had been a long time since I noted something in this blog. Resilience after struggling through an early 20s crisis, and severe mental illness is such a long ride from learning how to love yourself, how to accept your imperfection, and how to understand your value to embracing this life. 

Most of us suffered the same in the early 20s area, when we got lost, disappointed about ourselves dreaming of being someone while being no one at all. Like you are running a race without knowing your finish line. We are all fully aware that the course of success is different from one another, the only attention worth to be paid is yourself, and your path. Nonetheless, we could not stop thinking, and comparing ourselves with our fellows, questioning self-value. 12 months is the period required for me to erase the negative thoughts of peer pressure from my life. You might be subjected to a shorter or longer time, but at some points, things will get better. 

Washing out the depression gets me into life, a real-life of a young adult experiencing bittersweetness of unrequited love, alarming skin conditions asking for excessive spending, and the beauty of art, nature. For the first time ever in 5 years of living in Hanoi, I'm belonging to this society and learning to love this ancient city. I might have been too anxious, and desirous of success that ignores how pleasant it is to sip a cup of Vietnamese coffee while admiring the tranquility of nature, how crazy it is to take full shots of alcohol and be unable to walk afterward. Don't let the pressure of life deprive your chance of living a wonderful life of experience. You don't have to be rich to get experience, all you need is a good mind, and maybe some crazy beeches. 

Erase your negative thoughts and Paint your colorful life.
