Taking the leap

Many people only dream of it but seldom do they act on it. And I finally did it. I quit my soul crushing job months ago, sold my car, said my goodbyes to my friends and family that I love deeply, took my savings, booked a one way plane ticket and today landed in Vietnam, a country so far away from home, where I barely know the language and the lifestyle. It's ironic how some 30 odd years ago my parents flead this place, risking their lives at sea so they could have a better shot at life, for them and their children to come. And here I am, coming back of my own volition, the circle of life one could say. Though I can count on my family support here in this new land, I want to make it on my own. It's one thing to visit a place on holidays but a whole different endeavor to actually live there. It's the heart full of fear and excitement that I take on this new chapter of my life, exploring this new country, the country of my family and their ancestors, getting to meet and know the people that make its heart beat. It's also an opportunity to travel this part of the world that I love, a journey of both discovery and self-discovery. This was longer than expected, thanks for reading, Tofu out ! 🫳 🎤💥🤕 (edited)
