Why don't I have many friends?

Well, Do not get me wrong, the above title does not mean I have no friends or have a trouble of finding a true friend. The reason why I am writing about this topic is to share with you guys, about my daily life and what things I do when I am being alone.

In the past, being alone in my room in 24 hours was something extremely scary to me, and actually, most of my time spent on hanging out with my friends or doing some meaningless things, it was like I could not really finish anything at that moment.

After moving to Ho Chi Minh city for studying purposes, I have realized that spending time on being alone is not a big deal anymore. Moreover, there are a bunch of benefits that I've learned from it, and I want to share with you guys what I have been doing to make used of my free time and to upgrade myself day by day.

1. First of all, I have spent more time to understand about what I really want, or what my strengths are. In my opinion, this step is very important to locate myself, and then develop myself in a much more effective way.

2. To be really honest with you, I know if we want to do big things, we need to have a good health in both mental and physical aspects at first. To improve my physical health, I'm trying to work out every single day by pushing up about 100 reps a day (I have been working out for nearly five months already), and of course I have to divide it into smaller sets, I'm not strong that much ^^. Furthermore, I realize that one of the most significant steps to improve our health faster is a good diet, this is absolutely true!

3. The next thing I want to write down here about my daily life is to speak a new language. We all know about the benefits of learning a new foreign language, but to experience and to use it in daily life is a totally different story. I remember on the journey of mastering my English, I knew an American friend, just by chance. And that was how the joy and the motivations of studying a language came to me. Honestly, I was very lucky because I had a true friend while learning a new language, she helped me a lot with her enthusiasm, I feel like she was one of the irreplaceable keys to master my language. Anyway, if you're interested in learning a new language by yourself, I recommend you find a foreign friend to speed up the progress. That will be very useful for you ^^

4. We have to admit that there is a place always welcomes us, even when the world outside is really crazy, and it makes us feel depressed and exhausted. I believe you already know the answer, that's right, it is our home! our family! Currently, I'm living far from my family, and I have only one chance to gather with them on the Tet holidays, the time is very short, but the love and warmness in my home always heal my feelings and my broken heart very much. In my thinking, we should spend more time with our family as much as possible, you know, sometimes happiness is very simple, it is like when we have a small conversation with our loved ones, and that is really enough for us to calm down and be healed after a hard-working day. I hope you guys will be grateful with what you have! Be living for the present! Thank you for reading all my story here. I really appreciate your efforts, and think that you'll find something in my post useful to you.

Love you all! Stay safe & stay strong in this Covid-19 season.
