2011 was the unlucky year:

  • Lost my job in March
  • Lost my cell phone in May
  • Lost my laptop in September

Nevertheless, the end of something is the start of something new.

After losing my job, I recognized that it was never meant for me. That’s why I lost it. [Chasing a job you hate for a salary that many dream of is the silly thing many people do.] So I changed my direction to what I have thought of long ago: NGO. It was a hard decision as not many people understand the career path of NGO includes my parents. Maybe that decision leads to many changes.

2011 changed my life.

I lost material yet I got happiness.

Losing my job, I spent a lot of time for Free Hugs Vietnam. So sad when I started to define a direction for FHV and started to have many ideas for it, I had to leave. At the same time, I recognized how much I love FHV and so many good memories I did have were with FHV. To be honest, leaving it made me cry inside. While I was in depress, amazing friends from FHV cheered me up with the surprised birthday. It really made me felt like even I had left, I was still an important part of FHV that they could not forget. Thanks so much Xí Đập group, especially Vũ and Nga. It would be a missing part if I haven’t had you in my life.

Yet it was not a jobless issue not being part of FHV coz I have found VPV at that time. Until now, VPV somehow still have not replaced FHV in my heart yet it was the workplace that I have dreamed of for years. I have nearly total control over my work: design my own plan, monitor my own project, no fear to take challenge.

I will never forget the days roamed in the City Library: hot, lack of water, poor food hygiene, suck internet connection, sad, not dare to tell my father I lost my job. I won’t also forget FNC. You did teach me good lesson, changed my point of view yet I am not belongs to your space, your people, your environment. The more I won’t forget my hard days, the more I am proud about myself; proud that I have fought so hard to be true to myself, dare to break free, dare to follow my desire. I DESERVE WHAT I HAVE NOW.

For you Aj: You did turn my world around, you did hurt me, I could not judge your human yet thanks for coming to me, thanks for showing me I deserved to be loved and to be respected in the last month of this year. I love your bike most hahaha
