Sometimes, the one you most need to forgive... is yourself🥺

Đầu năm đi xem bói. Thầy nói: "số con có tiền mới giàu được". Lùm mé năm nay mới đầu năm lại su cà na roài 🥺⛈️

... Read moreForgiving yourself is often one of the hardest things to do, especially when life doesn’t go as planned or when expectations aren’t met. I’ve found that self-forgiveness is a crucial step toward emotional healing and growth. When facing challenges such as financial uncertainty or setbacks, it’s easy to fall into negative self-talk. For example, hearing a fortune or prediction about wealth can sometimes influence how we perceive our own worth or future prospects. From personal experience, I’ve noticed that embracing kindness toward myself during tough times has made a significant difference. It’s important to remember that material wealth does not define personal value or happiness. Cultural sayings or fortunes, like the one about needing money to become truly wealthy, reflect certain beliefs but don’t determine your destiny. Instead, practicing patience and focusing on small positive changes can be empowering. Moreover, acknowledging emotions such as disappointment or frustration without judgment allows for mental clarity and resilience. Self-compassion can be a guiding force when confronting life’s storms, whether emotional or financial. Sharing these reflections has helped me find balance and maintain hope, even when external circumstances seem challenging. Ultimately, forgiving yourself opens the door for growth, peace, and the ability to move forward with confidence.

Always “The Strong One”?
We’ve all learned how to survive — to hold it all together, to be dependable, to show up no matter how tired we are. But somewhere along the way, survival started to look like self-neglect. We became the ones who fix, manage, plan, explain, and forgive — sometimes too quickly, too often, and at

ITE YEAR ONE AT 21 → NOW 23 🤍 an update
This was my very first Lemon8 post. ITE Year One at 21. Back then, I was studying IT Security System Integration. People often say that ITE is the end, but for me, it felt like the beginning even though I did not realise it at the time. Somewhere in 2025, my mental health slowly got better.

POV: I Didn’t Diet… I Just Changed One Habit
I’ve always been the kind of person who eats whatever I love, and what I love is usually very tasty… and very unhealthy. After my gallbladder removal surgery, I was hospitalised for 3 days and unexpectedly lost more than 1kg. I thought it was just temporary weight loss. But over the next 3 weeks

Crying quietly on the train… and no one noticed.
She was just sitting there, looking at her phone. Tears quietly rolling down. She looked really tired. No sound. No drama. Just silently trying to hold herself together in a crowded train. I don’t know what she’s going through. But I know that feeling. Trying so hard to keep it in. W
