At the end of the day it is doing what makes you tick and like. That is all a person can really do.

Working and doing stuff for the sake of learning and doing is so hard. I don’t know anyone trying that much really unless they get paid big bucks??? I don’t think anyone really???

One day in August 2024, while I was visiting a friend from Mississauga I got stereotyped badly while going home.

Then now in 2025, I realized it was not me personally as I learned everything that was real and am too proud.

In my certain situation, that is just what happens when I am who I am.

I do make up for it because I now know who I am 100% after learning about my culture, other cultures, politics and modern society.

I do the things I do because of society and it is not me to have normal ego.

But the reality it is not me. I am just living normally in the West that everyone realizes too when they get old.

I am studying.

I am learning how I function … naturally.

I am learning how Vietnamese function for the last 3000+ years.

I do work like a Vietnamese person … from history.

I work to live, help, be polite and balanced, and play defense.

I also think forward and work with Westerners.

This is all from learning about South East Asian history.

Also I work as an independent.

Learning about strategy, geography and world geo politics.

South Vietnamese are the last in line … so we have to learn more and do more and charm.

It is all about balance.

As a South Vietnamese from An Giang, it s all about being right.

For example in An Giang everything grows. We are supposed to work the land to keep it still fertile and in balance to grow again the 2nd season.

It is so important to be in-tune with your history and culture right back to your birthplace so you learn all the thinking and strategies to live with yourself and how to apply it outside with others.

I have time to think and really learn now about me now.

This is because I am actually working outside with Canadians doing a real job and can think clear and workable now.

The whole situation from the beginning really, beginning of my life here in Canada … for future family is how does a modern woman likes a person like me working and living in the West??? I settled working like my Dad because that is the correct way for me to live in Canada.

In my certain situation, I have to live and work alongside ‘Canadians’ doing ‘Canadian work’. My path is determined by them because I don’t think really think ‘typically Asian 100%’.

I can work with ‘Canadians’. I default to thinking ‘Canadian’ and open and malleable.

I learned a lot over the years. Basically I learned what I liked. Got to a point where I work with my dad and his business because that is what I am given here in Canada???

Does anyone really want my ‘work’ life? Does anyone really want my ‘life’?

I did learn a lot over the years and got to get working with ‘Canadians’ and it is forward, smart and in tune with ‘Canadians’ and balanced for a family.

But real life is ‘working’ and it is working with ‘Canadians’.

I have to work like my dad really at the end.

It is to have a life here in Canada that is broad like Canadians while having a speck like everyone else.

Does my other thinking matter? I think yes. I still have to learn to be smart to live and work alongside Canadians … Canadians like a person that can think. But what I know is a speck.
