I Start Writing

I intended to write a blog a long time ago, but a lot of thoughts held me back. What should I write about? Should it be in Vietnamese or English? Who will read it? I considered a lot of “important” things, but I did not write a word.

I always want to be productive. I’m getting used to taking more modules than usual and teaching several classes in one semester. I love the joy of coming home and lying on my bed after a long day knowing that I have a lot of things on my to-do list tomorrow. I avoid wasting my vacations by doing projects, getting internships, and self-learning new things. I force myself to be productive because I know there is someone out there who is smarter than me and working harder than I do, and I don’t want to be left behind.

Until recently. I should have been in Paris working on my internship, but my visa is delayed. Things get out of my control, and I don’t know when I can take my flight to Europe. I started to learn the things that I have “saved” for a long time, but I find no joy in learning when my heart is restless. I think it’s okay to slow down for a bit to understand more about myself. I read more but slower, and I start writing.

So, it’s time to answer the questions I have been thinking about. I will write about books, technologies, my studies, the people I met, and my life. It will be written in English, although I love Vietnamese more. I don’t know who you are, but I hope you find something in my words, perhaps just an encouragement to start writing.
