Getting Old
The good thing and bad things about getting old …
In the West people chase youth sometimes.
They try to have fun and enjoy themselves.
But the smart ones that want something good natured work on themselves at the start.
Most of the time, chasing youth is not very good. You still learn and grow trying to stay young and have fun but chasing maturity is what is needed. Especially for a coloured person like me.
If I acted young and aloof, it would end bad. And being coloured acting aloof is hopeless.
I have experience just playing all the time in the past. All of it ended badly and with despair and sorrow for lost time.
But I did learn from it.
…
Also at 35 years old there is no time to think bad really.
As a Vietnamese man without a family of his own yet who is 35+ years old, I see the younger generation of Vietnamese and help them grow. I can not think negative about not helping others.
There is negativity a lot and sometimes crab mentality and toxicity but at my stage in life of being old, mature and somewhat accomplished, I have to help.
I have some unique adventures and it is nice to show others what a son of Vietnamese Boat People did.
