One time, I was paired with someone my age. I don't know what happened but then all of a sudden, we were talking about family. Her family in particular.  She's Vietnamese. And her mother is in England. Fairly good spirited, always laughing with her friends, and it doesn't seem like she's having this kind of problem. Anyways. As we were talking about life, she said that she doesn't feel any connection to her mom at all. She said that if it weren't for Skype, she wouldn't even know how her mom looks like. Her mom left Vietnam to work in England as a nurse. Also, she said that when her mom came back to Vietnam for a short vacation, she wasn't able to meet her because she's in Japan. And for some reason, she was okay with it.  I was like so sad for her that time and just confronted her with, "can't really do anything about it". And she agreed.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my future a LOT. I mean, I always think about it in the past but I think I’m loosing control as of the moment. It’s healthier than having no plans at all. For sure. But, isn’t it healthier to focus on what’s happening now? I don’t know. Maybe it’s all in my head. Maybe not. Maybe I'm not sure. Does it even make sense? People say that it’s good to have dreams so long as you act on your dreams. What about future plans? When you know that you still have to wait a couple more years to work for it? When you know that you still have to do something now in order to be there in your future plans successfully or whatnot. Over thinking ruins you. But, it is better than not to think at all right? I guess so. Don’t get me wrong guys. You may think that I’m missing things because I’m not in the same room with reality but rest assured that I’m enjoying the moment as much as I’m enjoying the future, I guess that’s kind of good. Eh? I hope ...
