Dear Readers, the general audience, the peoples of Earth or Jupiter or whatever...
Haha! Hello there! I have not been up to my game lately. I was just reading my earlier, naive, over-dramatic, and quite ridiculous posts of the past. Wasn't really my cup of tea, really.
Thing was. I could actually see my own growth, my own development as a total weirdo, come to life like a horror movie. The experience was exasperating. Amusing mostly, but I enjoyed every hellish moment of it. People change, don't they? And I guess I've changed for the better also.
Moving into a new educational environment, at first, was tremendously scary. I expected the worst. I always do, so it doesn't count, but having really experienced this new environment, I'm one step closer to understanding who the heck I am.
I think that when you put yourself into a scary situation, a situation where you're challenged to adapt, to sweat, and to endure, you place yourself in the forefront of battle. You know what you're getting into. You know what's coming. And you're going to go through with it. That's brave. Pure bravery. And afterwards, the only possible result of this is experience. The good kind. The kind that you'll use for the rest of your mortal life.
I know. I know. That may sound really difficult. But once you weigh out the pros and cons, I guarantee you that the pros will win and always will when you follow this sort-a-plan. And once you do come out unscathed, you'll find those like you. People that challenged themselves too. People that you'll agree with. A lot. I'll skip all the lovey-dovey stuff, but yep. You'll earn yourself some friendship.
But the most important thing you'll find, is yourself. (Ngoc from the future: 12/6/20 -- this is absolute bullshit and terrible advice. You can't expect to find yourself. That's assuming at birth you were borne with qualities that make you unique. Which yes, is true, but also isn't, because I certainly did not have the leadership skills that I do now. You gotta sow to be the you that you want to be.-- "find yourself" HAHAHA.... oh ngoc.) That's the most important. Because when you do, life is gonna be a smoother ride without the chicken holes and the walking dead. Life's gonna be good. And you'll be one step closer each time you challenge yourself.
You'll find something incredible. I guarantee that too.
Sincerely,
Ngoc the Therapist (Ngoc from the future: no you absolutely are NOT a good therapist at all-- god you're exasperating Ngoc from the past)
so inspirational you go ngoc <333
