Category: Get to know me

So you found me. Either it was a miracle that brought you here or it was me who nagged you to take a look. And we both know it’s the latter. Which, come to think about it, would make us at the very least acquaintances but my egocentric ass can’t get enough of talking about myself so here we go.

Who am I ?

• I go by Mạnh. Mạnh Nguyễn that is. One big fat failure of a 20-year-old who can’t seem to get anything right ever. I’m doing just fine though thanks for asking.
• At the moment I am all sorts of drifting about. No aspiration. No commitment. No purpose. It’s all hazy out there and my legally blind ass can’t make anything out to save my life.

So why am I telling you all this ? Why should you even pay attention to me venting about how miserable I am when my story is far more rose-tinted than way more people out there ? Why should anyone really bat an eyebrow to this clueless little kid who has known anything BUT miserable ? The truth is I’m not asking you to. You may come and leave. You may relate to my stories and stay to your heart’s desire. None of it is within my control. What I do have control over is what platform I choose as an outlet, which just happens to be this. Who knows when, being the inconsistent twat that I am, I’d eventually grow out of this blogging phase but I’d prefer to enjoy my time here while it lasts.

Got that out of the way. Onto what you can expect to see on this quasi-blog that I’d probably update twice a year when feeling especially jaded:

• Old bites. Mostly cryptic shorts even myself cannot decipher.
• Food, some of which also happens to be locked up in the ol’ archive.
• Spur of the moment writings about life crises
• Random uplifting everyday input if I feel up to it (but that’s what IG stories are for so…).

On a parting note, I don’t know if I’m ever going to go through with this. However, even in the face of uncertainty I still hope from this I, or preferably we, can learn and grow and learn to grow and come out of all this a better person than we once were. 🍻 乾杯！
