What I realized …
My parents waited for me to grow even now. I grew up hesitant. I didn’t have bite because I was born in the West. Vietnamese from Vietnam have bite. Now that I have accomplished stuff and now people are noticing and commenting, I have only me to talk for myself and my unique experiences. I grew up to have a ‘backbone’ finally but really I just got ‘old’. I experienced new stuff as a Vietnamese new immigrant. I had to survive and make my own way. What I am doing is just like every other immigrant in the past to the West.
…
As an old person, you just do what you want as you are just old and bypassed all the reasons not to.
…
Current culture is to act young to preserve yourself??? No, that is wrong. The media is wrong. Men must grow old and wise. Otherwise nothing makes sense. You got to get old to build and build. Who is saving who by acting young??? If I act young I won’t have anything.
…
Tammy Nguyen and Tony Tie support me because we are born in the West and have the same feelings and issues.
…
At my age, I guess from books and self-help books, I am having an existential crisis … The solution is to just work to give you a purpose. So at this age is a turning point where you work and have families of your own now as God intended.
…
Through socializing and working and getting accomplished AND getting socialized again and getting accomplished again at an old age, I grew and see through everything now. Life is to have a family and work. And repeat that for your own children. Wait around for them to realize this too. Being old helped so much because I can dismiss ‘young adult’ thinking and reasoning.
…
Growing up in the West is weird for coloured people I think. It all gets to a point where you just grow up and start doing things that are gradual.
…
The things that drive people positive?
- You have to be good. I have been just doing my dream since 2018. Going further with it too and experiencing new things.
- Live quietly out in East GTA. The old way of living from 1500 AD is the way.
That is all there is to live I think.
