Things that I kind of accept …
…
So I grew and did stuff and went beyond the everyday expectations of life … I got out of the matrix.
Being born in Canada you are stuck thinking and being in the Western culture and even your own culture.
So was life just getting fed up doing routine?
I guess yes. I tried to get out of the matrix at 33 from learning from coworkers.
My parents always tell me to live for myself.
Somehow for my refugee parents have this personality “edge” that nothing gets to them because they survived the Boat Peoples journey and survive the Vietnam War.
I can never have that experiences.
All I have is that I worked quite a bit and found it depressing if I did not live my way.
…
I learned you are supposed to live with a unbreakable spirit. That is what makes people, people.
That is what connects people too. Heart-to-heart that is beyond race, culture and anything else.
I learned this from Mizter Bonezz: https://www.instagram.com/mizterbonezzmusic/?hl=en
He is an DJ, Producer, Songwriter, Audio Engineer and OI Survivor.
…
Was getting out of the matrix right ???
Mostly no.
In 2016, I was working normal jobs and life was good.
Nothing to really worry about living in Canada which I am grateful for.
I was working a supermarket job and a restaurant job in 2016.
But certain coworkers pushed me to do more in life …
Were they telling me to go live for myself and see what was out there?
Did they understand what it is like to do that?
What does Vietnamese born in Canada think really?
Vietnamese born in Canada are exposed to all the media and hype of living for yourself at birth. TV, Radio and the Internet show the good and bad of doing this or that.
No one really want to go that far out. The comforts of just having a OK job is well enough for people born in Canada …
Tammy Nguyen told me just get a basic diploma in healthcare to do the most basic healthcare work in 2021.
Tony Tie told me just to get ‘a job’. Any job is OK and worthwhile it. The finally mature people understand that.
