To all friends, writers, and readers who came to support me at my first book signing event at this year's MIBF, I have three things to say:

First, you made my dreams come true.

Second, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this significant moment in my life.

Third, your presence and support mean more to me than words can ever say.

Last year, I had my first-ever book signing session at the Manila International Book Fair with 8letters where I was fortunate to meet readers and writers that I only knew of online.

It was a surreal experience, something I will always remember.

8letters is at BOOTH 241 at the Manila International Book Fair from today until September 15.

TAKING THE NEXT RIGHT THING TOWARD A NEW BEGINNING

https://medium.com//taking-the-next-right-thing-toward-a-new-beginning-adf3fbf1c918

After two years, I felt ready to move forward.

The most excruciating part is potentially severing the relationships I worked so hard to build. My biggest achievements in Hanoi were my supportive friendships and communities.

My friends and I enjoyed each other’s company, worked together to make a small impact on underprivileged groups, and openly talked about life stories over hot noodles.

In the longest-running study of happiness, Dr. Waldinger and his group found that good relationships “keep us healthier and happier.” It’s the quality of our relationships that determine our life span.

Was I cutting my life short by doing this?
