Thank you for all your exceptional love

Loneliness & Togetherness

I was hesitant writing this one blog. It’s the final one in MỞ’s 30-day writing challenge. When this blog comes to its fullest form is when my journey at MỞ so far as a blogger is closed. And I’m not ready to say goodbye.

This 30-day blogging journey has brought me so much love that I didn’t anticipate would happen.

What’s special about this love is that it’s so wholehearted, so bold, so vulnerable, so wholesome. This love is so shocking that it wakes up parts in me that I’ve forgotten. This love is so authentic that my body and heart feel safe with it, that none of my coping mechanism bothered to resist.

This love is so exceptional.

The below is my love in response to yours, in no particular order other than my hunch. (the language will be varied between Vietnamese and English at times, depending on whom I’m directing the message to. The words are made for them)

For those who nudge me to press the gas pedal.

Thank you the friends in MỞ who have been writing alongside me. Thank you An Nguyên,

for your constant interactions with my blog. Huhu such a dopamine boost I didn’t know I needed. (psst!! If you find your name isn’t mentioned here, please protest!)

Thank you all the people behind the lessons who tinker and organize such a holly molly wholesome learning experience. Thank you

Akwaaba Tung

and

Tuấn Mon

for igniting the love of learning in me and others. You know in movies where a kid is transported to a fictional magical land and starts wowing at literally everything? I’ve been that kid throughout all 10 lessons. What kind of witchcraft is that?!

Thank you

Do Fuong Newsletter

and the team of Student Success Leaders. In the past 30 days, I’ve been writing about the topic of Togetherness. You all helped me understand more of what it truly is. Thank you so much for showing up for this community so consistently. Your steady care and support for me and others helps me feel like I’m being raised in such a healthy family 😆 You’re all going to be great parents (either of a child, a pet, or… an idea).

Thank you đồng roai (my fellow writers). It’s been so fun reading and learning from your work, watching your interactions on our Discord group, laughing alongside your quirky humors. I’ve had the time of my life with you!

For those who fuel my creative engine.

Thank you Tô Ngọc for your constant feedback on my writing. You care so much about the world we’re living in that your words have been so valuable to me. Thank you for being there in almost all my significant creative journeys. I feel safe on the stage knowing you will be in the audience getting excited for my performance, even for the ones I’m uncertain of, sending me your honest thoughts, and offer me tons of comfort.

Cảm ơn Muổi nghe hết chuyện trên trời dưới đất của tao lúc tham gia khoá viết này. Cảm ơn mắt mày sáng long lanh lúc tao kể. Cảm ơn mày ôm tao. Cảm ơn mày nhìn tao một cách nhẹ nhàng và ân cần lúc tao thấy nghi ngờ bản thân. Lần gần đây mình gặp, mày hỏi tao, cũng với đôi mắt long lanh ấy: “Hết thử thách 30 ngày là mày hông viết nữa hở?”. Chắc tao giữ khoảnh khắc đó mãi luôn. Tao sẽ viết tiếp cho mày coi! :))

Thank you

Thao Vo

(the writer of

Thao Vo.rdinary Newsletter

). Your love for me shocks me almost all the time. Still can’t believe you adopted my introverted ass into your own world and give me glimpses of it. I cherish your friendship like a kid celebrating her first candy bar. You’re a gem!

Thank you Kitty (check out her blog here). I have this firm belief that you’re the one who started this whole thing. Three years ago when we first met, a seed was planted. Your creative soul ignites a hope in mine. Your love for me nudges me to continue walking out to the world. I thank the stars all the time for our connection. Forever grateful!!

For those who get me keep my eyes on the road.

Every bit of your interactions mean a lot to me. There are friends who I haven’t talked for months who paid a visit and gave heart-warming and insightful comments. There are also new friends entering.

This form of appreciation is very new to me as I’ve never been this visible online. So I get shy easily. This may make some of you feel as if I’m quite aloof. What often happened behind the scene was me babbling enthusiastically and non-stop about your comments on my blogs with my friends. Or me jumping up and down in my bedroom or laying on my bed mesmerizing looking at your words to me as if they’re charming poems.

I’m learning to be more responsive and be more present with the love you’ve sent. Besides from blogging consistently, I’ve also made it a habit every time someone stops by to take 1 deep long breath, and let love really sink in. Those are my favorite moments of the day!

What’s next?

1. More beauty sleep!

2. Evolving relationships between members of MỞ’s Writing On The Net #4.

3. A closure of our series on Loneliness & Togetherness.

4. A week off to rummage and gather new resources.

5. And an invitation to a new theme! 🤭

sooooOooOOooo… this is it huh?
