Happy Monday Hive family!
It's been a while and I finally settled down in a new home in Da Nang
Being back here is like coming "home"
And building a home for myself is like waiting for the kind of love where the person makes me feel like coming home too...
This is my first video filmed in the new home. I was so picky to choose the place, but it ended up paying off my patience haha
On my first day back here, I wrote this for myself. I think you can relate at some point if you are there building a single independent life and keeping your heart open to love as well (though loving can hurt sometimes haha)
"Moving away from family is expensive
Being single and independent is expensive
Living alone is expensive
Having a pet is expensive
"Operating" a whole family is expensive and extremely hard
But that's where you officially create something for yourself, actively select, collect, create, put together what you specifically love, and make yourself truly happy
That home is you, that home represents who you are
To build a home - a true home where you can rest your body and your mind is like patiently waiting to meet the kind of love where your heart and soul feel like coming home too
It doesn't happen overnight no matter how incredible the spark is in the beginning
It needs constant work to build a foundation. We can't rush something that we want to last forever...
No need fancy, when it comes to something specific, something different from what the crowd wants, it's gonna be expensive, it's hard to find, it's hard to keep.
Also, you're gonna cry in that home alone, laugh in that home alone, grow up in that home alone. That home carries your love, your tears, your memories, your energy, and your heart. Who feels it gonna feel deep...
We all have shit that we're going through. You make it, you lose it, then you build another one, a better one, and you gonna work harder to keep it this time
The progress is exciting and uncomfortable at the same time, but the experience and reward for this journey are priceless".

Photograph - Ed Sheeran lyrics:
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing makes us feel alive
We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen, still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
Hmm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
Hmm, we keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen, still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
And if you hurt me
That's okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages, you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Oh, you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
And if you hurt me
Well, that's okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages, you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
"Wait for me to come home"
