The alarm rang earlier than usual. It was Monday, the first official day back to the office after Tet holiday in Vietnam. The city felt slightly slower, like it was still stretching after a long nap. I lay in bed for a few seconds, listening to the quiet, knowing the year had truly begun again. […]

A Saturday that began before sunrise Even though it was Saturday, the day started early. At 5:30 a.m., the streets were still quiet, the sky soft and pale, and the temperature hovered around a perfect 20 degrees. Cool enough to feel refreshing, warm enough to move freely.

A day that started cold and ended late It was almost 10.30 p.m. when we finished the last online panel interview. My voice was a little tired. My mind was full. Our team stayed back for a quick sync, going over candidates, impressions, little details that might matter later. By the time we wrapped up, […]

It was a Monday night, around 10:23. The kind of night where the rain had been pouring for hours, the air felt cooler than usual, and all I craved was a bowl of hot soup. That’s exactly what I did after work – gathered with colleagues at a small local spot, laughing and sharing dumplings […]

A Coffee Shop Realization As I was sitting in a small coffee shop near campus during my university days, I was sipping on a latte after hours of Finance coursework and Fine Arts projects. My eyes were heavy from the late nights, my brain tired from endless group projects, but something else felt even heavier. […]

The Journey Begins With a Question What does it mean to grow? I’ve asked myself this question so many times—during late-night journaling sessions, on early morning runs, and even while turning the last page of a life-changing book. Personal growth, for me, hasn’t been about achieving more. It’s been about becoming more me. And the […]

The year was 2018. I had just landed in the UK to start my Master’s degree—full of dreams, but also full of emotional baggage. I had gone through a painful breakup just weeks before the move. My days were filled with lectures, networking events, and the pressure to prove myself in a new country. But […]
