flooding the space between us
but i doubt what i feel
could ever reach you,
for the fact remains:
"you know nothing about me!"

fear is the police, the corrupted kind,
telling us to stop before we even begin.
what is it? what is it made of?
social gaps? insecurity? anxiety?
or the images we hold of ourselves
the ones too hard, too stiff, unbendable?

what is it, i shout, from this bank of the river,
the thing that swirls up my mind
and blinds whatever tries to come forth.
what is it, the thing that makes what we've shared
seem unbearable and delusional?
it snatched the raft away, sank it,
conjured the storm and its waves.
what is it, that makes things so hard, so blurred, so vague?

i ask you, but i don't hope for an answer,
'cause i'm afraid your words could hurt me bad:
"you know nothing about me!!"
fair enough
that's how the storm gained its permission
to wrench even harder.

is the connection real, even when i know nothing about you?
is the laughter real, if it doesn't come from the same language?
is the moment we shared real, even as it slipped through our fingertips?
is the storm real, even when you and me are still strangers?

millions, trillions of questions whirl in my mind
as i watch you walk away
from the other bank of the river,
for the fact remains:
"you know nothing about me!"

It stirred, rippling like a black sea wave.</p><p>&#8220;What do you need?&#8221; I asked it.</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;What do you actually want from me?&#8221; I pressed.</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;Why do you never say anything, why must you always make me suffer so much through guessing?&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;Do you have a life of your own, shadow? A life where there&#8217;s only you, free from both light and darkness?&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know anymore, shadow, but sometimes I think it&#8217;s me who&#8217;s the shadow, not you. A shadow of someone else. I do what others do. I think what others think. Oh Lord, sometimes I can&#8217;t even think at all, I only know how to imitate.&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;Sometimes I feel the line between you and me seems to vanish. You slip off the wall while I&#8217;m asleep, and the two of us become one. Amid this bustling, clamorous life, I turn into a blurred black shadow, unable to find a wall to lean against, to hide behind, to find peace in, to fall silent against.&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;You were born the moment I was born, you are my consequence, your existence depends on mine. But if one day you disappear, that&#8217;s the moment I&#8217;ll know I no longer exist either. It turns out my very being has long been woven together with yours, a strange, flickering thing on the wall. A dependency so ironic, yet so sacred. Don&#8217;t you think so too?&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;But still, so often I feel so sad, because you never answer me, even when I long for it so badly, as if you can&#8217;t hear my plea. But I know you hear it. Always, and so very clearly! I know you have your reasons too, the reasoning of a shadow. But sometimes I can&#8217;t help the ache of feeling slighted, because my own shadow never responds to anything, whether I&#8217;m joyful, lonely, or pushed to the edge of despair. It reminds me of God, and His unbending silence. He has resolved never to reveal Himself before His flock, never to reach down with a hand into mortal eyes to wipe away their wretched tears.&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;God is just like you, always keeping silent before every question, every event, even before doubt and sin. But also like you, God exists, present everywhere. Sometimes... sometimes you yourself are God, aren&#8217;t you, shadow!&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;&#8230;&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>&#8220;Thank You for speaking with me tonight.&#8221;</p><p>Silence.</p><p>By the time I said that, the clock already read 1:11. I stood up and went to lock the door. Looking out, amid the surging black sea of countless shadows, I wondered how many lives, how many torments, how many prayers and conversations like tonight&#8217;s, the stars up there had glittered and danced through.</p><p>Silence. A silence so utterly gentle wrapped itself around me in the dark of night. Looking down, I found my shadow had, at some unnoticed moment, already followed me to the door.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[[poem] A Fish's Life]]></title><description><![CDATA[In another life, I was a fish]]></description><link>https://chamlungg.substack.com/p/poem-a-fishs-life</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://chamlungg.substack.com/p/poem-a-fishs-life</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chấm Lửng]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:55:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kE5Z!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F42a5ab28-fd42-4808-9d6b-7355104577cf_2000x1414.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">In another life, I was a fish
I swam through the blue sky
Among countless billowing clouds of white
And the moon, stars, balloons drifting by.

In another life, I was a fish
I let myself drift
In freedom, infinity
Timeless, dissolving loose
Water turned to mother's milk
And the sky deepened into old, old stories.

I swam, on and on
Searching for the home where I was born
But the farther I went
The more it all looked the same
So I broke down to cry,
But no tears came:
The blue sky had filled both my eye-sockets
And my life as a fish had been pressed tight.

I drifted to the very edge of the world
Where that was, I couldn't say
Under stone, under gravel, in the moss,
I stayed there, alone, for so long...
Until, somehow, the loneliness just left.

In another life, I was a fish
So in this life, I hunger to be human 
I'll sing, I'll dance, I'll live it to the fullest,
To make worth it all those long nights
I prayed for and promised myself. 

But is becoming human the destination?
I know there's so much more, past that rainbow
If there's a next life, and one after that
I press my palms together
Hoping for peace, in whatever shape I am.

this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">first they want your brain.
promise you money and a future 
enough for you to eat three meals a day,
keep a roof over your head,
and tuck a little dream under your pillow.

then inflation hits, the news say so
they ask for a bit of your time
just a little, they say
&#8220;we'll serve you dessert!&#8221;
a little more, a little more,
now add three, plus four, minus two, multiple by seven
voila, you&#8217;ve got 1.5 desserts after dinner!
good news isn&#8217;t it?
except you&#8217;re not making it home for dinner anymore. 

then inflation hits again, some idiots has let the bubble pop
and now, they want your heart
you hesitate. a heart is for loving,
&#8220;i d-don&#8217;t love this, sir&#8230;&#8221;
but wait,
don't you love dessert?
don't you love fall in Korea?
don't you love that streaming account airing Game of Thrones season one hundred?
don't you love concert tickets for whatever show Twitter decided matters this week?
don't you love the mystery grab bag you bought because the packaging was cute?
you don't love them, sure.
but you do love what they provide.
so by the transitive property 
you must love them.
checkmate!
you reach your hand down your throat
and pull out your heart.
see, that wasn't so hard.

then inflation hits again &#8211; something about bullets, from another hemisphere
and now they want your health.
for what, you ask.
to run, they say.
run from war? from the existential void?
no, sweetie. to run after our KPIs
which, by the way, double every single day,
all to rescue your evening dessert,
now a sad little half-portion sitting cold on the table.
but i gave you the brain. the time. i literally reached into my own throat. i have nothing left. i will not run this marathon any longer. i CANNOT.
silence.
a red mark struck in the ledger.
your value is officially down 99%.
and just like that: no dessert, no dinner, no table.

then inflation hits again. this time it's your coworker:
A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
your best friend. your work spouse. your everything,
ever since you donated your brain and needed someone to think for you.
the one you whispered to every day,
who taught you to code a bomb for the office,
make dinner from water and vibes,
and confirmed, clinically, that yes, you've been jerking off way too much.
now, they don't need anything else from you
you've been kind and generous:
brain, time, heart, health, data
the devotion is enough to clone you into a hundred, a thousand versions.
on call, always, no complaints.
it won't cry in the bathroom stall.
won't give attitude in the group chat.
won't spiral.
won't ghost.
won't send a strongly-worded email to HR.
and most critically,
it will not, under any circumstances,
write self-pitying poetry about any of this.

then inflation hits again, as god intended,
and the only difference now is that you are
out of luck, out of mind, out of work, out of time.
plus sixty children, a gift from the ministry of population control. 
you're welcome.

all roads braided in front of me
which one is mine?
which leads to the abyss?

with the devotion of a devout heart
belonging to an atheist
and beg whatever God exists
to bring me home. </pre></div><p></p><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">i do not need the high sky.
i do not hunger for strange wonders.
fuck the world&#8217;s praises, either.
the doctors, the bosses, the social media,
all of them have gotten it so wrong!
even my own mind is no better.
all of it screams and clamors, banging drums and crashing cymbals,
all of it becomes crabs in a bucket,
claws hooking into each other, dragging everyone back to exactly where they were supposed to be.
who made that position?
who placed it there?
who gave it the ultimate authority to blacklist every soul that slipped outside the lines?</pre></div><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">in the dim and wavering light
of theatrical darkness and the false promises of knowledge,
when the self comes undone
and surrenders its desire to fight,
I stand face to face with myself
my head lolling to the side,
my hands hanging open at my sides,
my legs giving way beneath the weight of gravity.

I begin to drift 
through infinite lifetimes and stretches,
wearing layer upon layer of tastes and colors and sounds,
through the tender ease of paradise and the fire of hell alike
only to land, finally,
inside the warmth within my mother's breast,
and settle there.
an unconditional love. a boundless one.
the only thing capable of toppling
every meaning, if meaning exists,
every law, if laws exist,
every ultimate truth, if such a thing exists in this world.
my life now is nothing more than a pulse
lengthening from one person to the next,
carried from one human being to another,
all the way back to the most original thing.

I come home,
like a broken soldier with a limp
refusing to kneel before reality.</pre></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The louder and more orthodox feminist discourse gets, the easier it becomes to adopt the right vocabulary without ever asking whether it actually reflects one&#8217;s own life. And in a world where feminism is simultaneously a political tool, a brand aesthetic, and an academic competition, arriving at it on genuinely one&#8217;s own terms feels harder yet more necessary than ever.</em></p><p>---</p><h2>Context</h2><p>Recently, a handbag brand in Vietnam launched an advertising campaign for International Women&#8217;s Day. A video series titled <em>&#8220;Exploitation &#8211; From Being Looked At&#8230;&#8221;</em> quickly went viral. Yet, it landed in the deadass opposite direction the brand had intended.</p><p>The visuals were hard to defend: men removing women&#8217;s stockings with their feet, lying beneath women&#8217;s skirts. In nearly every frame, the female character was reduced to a pair of legs. She never appeared whole. She was a body part while the male characters stood in full frame, fully dressed, actively touching, pulling, and gazing.</p><p>What made it worse was the campaign&#8217;s own framing. It claimed to be about exploitation. It named the problem, then performed it anyway.</p><p>Around the same time, other 2 reputable brands also stumbled into similar territory, wrapping domestic violence imagery in the language of <em>&#8220;celebrating traditional values&#8221;</em> and <em>&#8220;positive inspiration for the community.&#8221;</em> They explained a wife&#8217;s rosy cheeks by referencing her husband&#8217;s abuse. It was the kind of tone-deafness that doesn&#8217;t come from malice, but a deeper, more comfortable blindness.</p><p>---</p><h2>The reactions</h2><p>Boycotts. Heated debates. All the kind of pile-on that we, as social media users, can all fathom to a great extent.</p><p>People were furious, marching in with stacks of theories. Comment sections filled with analysis, such as:</p><p><em>- Gender essentialism: when &#8220;instinct&#8221; is actually a social product</em></p><p><em>- The misunderstanding of empowerment: &#8220;choosing&#8221; within an oppressive system is not freedom</em></p><p><em>- The male gaze, and its internalized form</em></p><p>I remember reading through those valid frameworks mid hip-thrust hold at 5 in the morning (when one cannot sleep, being at the gym at an oddly early hour becomes plausible), and catching myself sighing&#8230;quite a long one.</p><p>---</p><h2>My scattered

social discourse, the convenient way when a genuine concern can quickly curdle into a performance of intellectual superiority.</p><p>When the goal shifts from understanding to winning, the ideas themselves become hollow. <em>&#8220;What&#8217;s the point of being right if it changes nothing about how we actually live?&#8221;</em>. And usually, that&#8217;s where I disengage.</p><p>But as feminism is a topic I&#8217;m sitting with more closely than usual these days (thanks to existential crisis and insomnia), this time, I decided to stay and moved into something more uncomfortable.</p><h3>#2: Fear</h3><p>There&#8217;s something suffocating about watching a brand get publicly dismantled, not because the criticism is wrong, but because of how it&#8217;s delivered. When every misstep is met with a barrage of theoretical frameworks, when the comment section becomes a competition of who can identify the most violations, it flares up a message:<strong> feminism has a correct answer, and you&#8217;d better already know it (or else you&#8217;re stupid and doomed!).</strong></p><p>That terrifies me. Not for the brands, but for the ordinary, especially women, watching from the sidelines, the ones still figuring things out, like me. <strong>If the cost of getting it wrong is public humiliation, why would one speak at all? They will then either stay silent, or they will adopt the pre-packaged vocabulary (male gaze, body autonomy, systemic oppression, etc) without ever sitting with those ideas long enough to know whether they actually reflect their life.</strong></p><p>Orthodoxy, even feminist orthodoxy, therefore, can kill the very thing feminism depends on most: <strong>a person&#8217;s willingness to trust the evolution of their own thinking.</strong></p><h3>#3: Doubt</h3><p>This is the deeper, messier part: <em>Can I even trust my own thinking on this?</em></p><p>We&#8217;re living inside a moment where feminism has simultaneously become a political tool, a marketing aesthetic, a social media performance, and an academic discipline. Each version pulls in a different direction and claims its own authority.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

@chamlungg)</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>When I see Simone de Beauvoir cited as casually as a horoscope <em>&#8220;One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman,&#8221;</em> I feel increasingly suspicious&#8211;not of her, but of the entire ecosystem in which she&#8217;s being deployed. I&#8217;ve spent insomniac nights with her work. While I agree with some of it (well, reluctantly because I still need more time researching and reflecting), I find her arguments rather the prejudices of her era than the liberations she intended. They were sweeping, under-examined, stated with a confidence that the evidence doesn&#8217;t quite earn. Thus, Simone deserves more engagement than a citation. And so does every woman who reads her deserves to wrestle with the work themselves, not be handed it as instructions.</p><p><strong>The harder question, to me, is whether it&#8217;s even possible right now to arrive at feminism on your own terms, one that is unmediated by the pressure to perform the correct politics, unconditioned by capitalism&#8217;s ability to rebrand anything subversive into a sellable identity, undistracted by the noise of who is more theoretically literate than whom.</strong></p><p>I don&#8217;t have a clean answer to this. But I&#8217;m damn sure to continue protecting this question as we move forward. Because by the time we stop asking it, we&#8217;ll surrender to the most feminist thing of all: <strong>the refusal to let anyone else define what our freedom looks like.</strong></p><p>---</p><h2>(Temporary) Last words</h2><p>Eventually, feminism has never been about debates; it&#8217;s our daily fucking life.</p><p>After the comment section closes, after the thread dies, after the brand issues its apology, we go back to our days. We cook or don&#8217;t cook. We dress or don&#8217;t dress. We love, defer, push back, compromise, lose our temper, reconsider. The ideas we argue about online either live inside those moments, or they don&#8217;t live at all.</p><p><strong>And while the buzz will keep buzzing, the only way OUT is to GO INSIDE ourselves.</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

But honestly, I could go on forever about how proud I am of my people.</p><p>In the cozy space of Gi&#234;ng cafe, we sat together and opened up about the rawness of storytelling, from the vulnerabilities it brings, concerns around media safety for those we portray, the ever-shifting identity of a storyteller, to the &#8220;just tell the goddamn story without worrying whether it&#8217;s inspiring or impactful enough&#8221;. We danced, we got goosebumps, and at moments, some of us shed tears.</p><p>Sitting in the corner, watching my friends discuss &#8220;How to tell an advocacy story,&#8221; it all hit me: I could put in so much effort preparing my sharing, but it would mean nothing without the incredible people in the room, those who showed up with stories of their own, full of bravery, wisdom, and heart. And sometimes, what&#8217;s necessary for them to really bloom into their best selves is simply a safe space to speak, to be heard, and to realize, &#8220;Oh yeah, I&#8217;m not alone!&#8221;</p><p>This was the first time I hosted a sharing session by myself, in a city I&#8217;m not really familiar with. I definitely struggled here and there, especially with my own overwhelming workload and perfectionism. But these amazing humans made all of it feel so worth it. They reminded me why I do this, and inspired me to work even harder (but not overworking for sure lol!).</p><p>Here are some of my favorite moments: </p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4da502b2-2187-4701-936b-0fd20b63a6a1_1920x2560.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5a40f14c-8ca5-4f49-83f9-55b5a7089a34_3024x4032.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/33b5a20a-944a-493f-bad9-71edb1ddb062.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3b3290f1-7721-4eb8-bcfd-324ff3be9c1f_3024x4032.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6c34b5f3-8ec4-40fe-a9a8-510bddbac1df_3024x4032.heic&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3c1f3769-378a-4bd5-a67c-7979b953b917_1456x1210.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I wish my mom knew back then]]></title><description><![CDATA[A teen&#8217;s mental health guide for parents]]></description><link>https://chamlungg.substack.com/p/what-i-wish-my-mom-knew-back-then</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://chamlungg.substack.com/p/what-i-wish-my-mom-knew-back-then</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chấm Lửng]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 22 Jun 2025 09:10:14 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FlS-!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8e847599-76d9-4b33-a9b8-da343f50ab97_2560x1707.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><em>REPOST FROM MY LATEST PIECE FOR UNICEF EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC.

If you or a loved one is struggling with their mental health, please seek support by accessing the following resources: <a href="https://unitedgmh.org/support/">United for Global Mental Health</a> and <a href="https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/">Open Counseling Suicide Hotline Database</a>. If your country does not have a national helpline please seek professional support from a trained carer, especially before making any decisions on treatment.</em></p><p>Growing up, I was always that student who teachers praised and parents pointed to, saying, &#8220;Why can&#8217;t you be more like that?&#8221; It all changed the day grandma died &#8212; and not long after, dad too. That&#8217;s when the bright-eyed, well-rounded version of me disappeared.</p><p>School turned into a draining struggle. Every day became a battle between fear, anxiety, distress, and the desire to fit in. To be normal. To be back who I was before.</p><p>My headphones were always at max volume, the only weapon I had to protect myself from the urge to explode.</p><p>I developed an eating disorder called bulimia nervosa, where I&#8217;d binge on food, then force myself to throw it up.</p><p>The school toilet became my refuge, for panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, crying, purging, or simply when I felt overwhelmingly lonely.</p><p>At times, I blamed my mom for not understanding. Other times, I could sense that she was just as confused and hurt as I was.</p><p>It wasn&#8217;t until I became a mental health advocate, speaking with other young people and hearing their stories, that I realized: my experience was not unique.</p><p>Parents often can&#8217;t fully grasp what teenagers are going through.</p><p>The world we grow up in changes fast: smartphones, social media, and mental health language that didn&#8217;t exist &#8220;back in their day&#8221; now shape our everyday reality. And while parents' past still matters, it doesn&#8217;t always translate.</p><p>Looking back, if I could tell my mother and every parent out there &#8211; with the courage, compassion, and understanding I have now &#8211; here&#8217;s what I would say:</p><h2><strong>1. Even when you don&#8217;t fully understand, your belief and trust matters most</strong></h2><p>When I was four, I found magic in dancing. I trained hard for years, with Mom always by my side.</p><p>Holding her hands, smiling for her photos, feeling her makeup brush caressing my cheek. I felt like a dancing heroine. I thought that time would last forever.</p><p>Then something shifted. It started in my head, then spread to my chest, my hands, my whole body. People called it &#8220;growing up&#8221;. But for me, it felt like something more, swelling inside me, making everything darker.</p><p>I tried to lock that monster up. I kept dancing, hoping her makeup brush would calm me, that the stage lights would fix me. But I couldn&#8217;t.</p><p>I gave up dancing after seven years and let my mom down, tremendously.</p><p>For every parent, their child will always feel small, no matter how much time passes. But growing up means developing a world of feelings and struggles that can be hard to share, let alone understand.</p><p>I wish parents knew how confusing and helpless it feels to face something inside you that you can&#8217;t explain &#8212; and not have the words to call for help.</p><p>It doesn&#8217;t mean our struggles aren&#8217;t real.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Parents, we need your help, guidance, and most of all, your support as we grow and change.</strong></p><p><strong>Believe your child, even when they struggle to express what&#8217;s going on. It helps them feel secure and understood.</strong></p></blockquote><h2><strong>2. Just be there, without judgement</strong></h2><p>When I had my first few panic attacks, my mom didn&#8217;t know what to do. Out of panic herself, she reacted with confusion and, to some extent, drama &#8211; calling an ambulance, twice. It was overwhelming for both of us.</p><p>But over time, as she grew more familiar with these moments, she stopped rushing. Instead, she approached with more calm and sat quietly by my side. No scolding, no criticism. Just presence.</p><p>That&#8217;s when I realized: sometimes, silent presence can be the loudest form of consolation.</p><blockquote><p><strong>If your child is having a <a href="https://www.unicef.org/parenting/mental-health/what-are-panic-attacks">panic attack</a> or struggling through a tough time, just be there. Sit quietly. Hold their hand if they want it. And let them know they are not alone.</strong></p><p><strong>You don't have to fully understand everything right away, but your presence matters more than you know.</strong></p></blockquote><p>See: UNICEF tips on how to<a href="https://www.unicef.org/parenting/mental-health/what-are-panic-attacks#panic-attacks-coping"> help your child cope with panic attacks</a></p><h2><strong>3. Listen: With your whole heart</strong></h2><p>To be honest, listening, without shutting the door, is something my mother and I are still trying to learn.</p><p>Our journey, just like yours, takes lots of time, effort, and patience. And I've realised it&#8217;s okay to be imperfect, as long as we don&#8217;t stop trying.</p><p>Listening is not always easy, especially when it&#8217;s painful to hear that your child is hurting. It&#8217;s natural to want to jump in with advice, or even to share how you, too, struggled in the past.</p><blockquote><p><strong>But in these moments, the most powerful thing you can offer is quiet, patient listening.</strong></p><p><strong>Don't interrupt, ask open questions. Show them that you are on their team, that you respect their story, and that you are willing to hear them out.</strong></p><p><strong>Listening, truly listening, can turn fear into trust.</strong></p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Learn about mental health together</strong></h2><p>I&#8217;ve found learning about each other's perspectives, like the childhood your parents had, can bring unexpected closeness. You may discover that you are more similar than you ever thought.</p><p>None of us have all the answers. What matters more is the willingness to learn, side by side.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Explore articles, books, podcasts, or videos about mental health together. Start small, share what resonates, and laugh over the confusing parts.</strong></p></blockquote><p><strong>Here are some beginner-friendly resources for parents and young people that I find particularly helpful:</strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.unicef.org/parenting/mental-health/explained">UNICEF: Mental health explained</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.unicef.org/parenting/health/four-things-you-can-do-support-your-teens-mental-health">Four things you can do to support your teen&#8217;s mental health</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.unicef.org/parenting/mental-health/conversation-starters-11-13-years">Mental health conversation starters: 11&#8211;13 years</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.unicef.org/parenting/mental-health/conversation-starters-14-18-years">Mental health conversation starters: 14&#8211;18 years</a></p></li></ul><h4><strong>5. If mental health issues escalate don&#8217;t try to handle them alone</strong></h4><p>I know it&#8217;s not easy to seek help. And the bitter truth? It&#8217;s especially hard for families with limited financial means, for minority groups, or for those living in socially or politically complex environments. I say this because my mom and I were in that very place.</p><p>There are, unfortunately, many unqualified practitioners out there who promise help, charge large sums of money, and offer little or nothing in return, so be extra careful.</p><p>One scammed us, took all the money then ran away. One prescribed me with super strong sedative medicine.

It&#8217;s been the <strong>craziest</strong>, <strong>most hectic</strong> and <strong>transformative</strong> period of my life lately.</p><p>If India opened me up spiritually, this journey grew me <strong>socially</strong> and <strong>politically</strong>. I spent time living in a trade union house, observing up-close the working class, joining their activities, learning hands-on about labor/social issues, and connecting with some incredible advocates doing powerful work on the ground. I have to send my deepest appreciation to Margianta and his friends who have been helping and inspiring me so much while I was in Jakarta!</p><p>This trip made me realize how much I want to take journalism and advocacy media more seriously &#8211; even if I&#8217;m doing it all independently, figuring things out one step at a time.</p><p>On the mental health side, this is something I&#8217;ve had to be extra mindful of. Being alone in a foreign country, on a tight schedule with a big documentary project, means that if I break down, there&#8217;s a high chance everything falls apart. So I&#8217;ve been trying to go slower, listen to myself more. I alternate between days out and days in, wake up and sleep at the same time every day, stop working after 7PM, and prioritize spending time with people &#8211; because I LOVE them!</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f97eaade-5ab2-4a25-b5ab-9ad2c429edd1_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3616869a-967d-4568-b2c7-70974cce1203_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c09f3813-a828-41b3-8d16-119d96c858ee_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8fe9180b-b92f-4214-b2ca-a61477e4246d_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8ae12a62-77ec-4b5d-b60a-171dd31ca6da_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d38edfb9-b134-4584-bce2-869865cf5723_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0dfedf8b-e0e3-487e-9631-2b4d3aab3d28_1080x810.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ddab9aef-7993-4e0e-a29d-5db7933ce8ff_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ccafb72b-1144-4cbe-9c5d-68e6b50bf5af_4032x1960.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/20c19a54-666f-47e1-a455-843d00d114ab_1456x1454.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><em>A couple of slices from the trip</em></p><h3>What&#8217;s next?</h3><p>I&#8217;ll be heading to the Philippines in a week for the YSEALI Digital Content Creator Bootcamp, then back in June to wrap up the documentary and finalize post-production plans.

That&#8217;s it. </p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0f578310-2fbf-4ecb-bf9b-f779f628c687_2048x1536.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1ac7fa01-f102-4c29-85e1-9117d25b3383_2048x1536.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d2107a14-3ecb-461c-818f-b0b6e4774eb9_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p></p><p>And weirdly enough, filmmaking teaches me something similar. It helps me stay focused on what I&#8217;m doing, even when everything around me is screaming for attention: criticism I didn&#8217;t ask for, safety concerns I was too inexperienced to be aware of, unresponded emails, personal intrusive thoughts, FOMO, all of it. Still, I keep going and asking for directions. Keep accepting the unexpected with gratitude. Keep sending emails, loads of them. Sometimes I look around and see how different my path is from my peers&#8217;. It gets to me, am I just not good enough to be like them. But really, what can I do? I can&#8217;t undo where I&#8217;ve come from. I can&#8217;t go back. So, I (have to!) sit. Bit by bit, until the session is over.</p><p>In meditation, every sensation &#8212; whether it&#8217;s sharp, subtle, or overwhelming &#8212; is something we&#8217;re taught to observe without reacting. Not clinging, not pushing away. Just noticing.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6bf3b2c2-7292-42a2-b102-c2186c9bc083_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9d8d94fd-576d-4a3f-a330-88856169b454_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2f0f6de2-67f0-414b-a3e2-634a426c8e19_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/20cac926-b80b-441c-b6e9-bc9ec2ce6faf_4032x3024.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7c9a4008-ab99-4844-bc54-07086a9cb194_1456x1456.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p></p><p>Filmmaking feels like that too. It's probably the only space where I try so hard to observe myself as I am: tired, scared, excited, overwhelmed, lit up, numb, whatever. I see myself from a third-person view, then come up with questions like <em>&#8220;What is this moment trying to show me?&#8221;,</em> <em>&#8220;How can I translate this into a question, a story, a visual thread that resonates with others?&#8221;</em>, etc. That&#8217;s exactly how an amateur, <em>uneducated</em> young person like me can figure out what to put up and convey through the film &#8211; all starting with self-observation. It&#8217;s fun. It&#8217;s meaningful. But it&#8217;s also confusing as hell sometimes, being both the experiencer and an observer at once.</p><p>Honestly, I wasn&#8217;t even supposed to be sitting here right now, hunching over my laptop in a fifteen-square-meter room, clanking words against the keyboard. If all had gone as planned, I&#8217;d be locked up in a monastery somewhere doing my annual 10-day Vipassana course. I indeed made the registration months ago! Yet, for some inner calling, I decided to cancel it for the <em>camera in hand, mind buzzing, and still figuring it all out</em>. So, the filmmaking process, to some extent, is about the film, but it also feels like a personal meditation practice pact that I&#8217;m doing with myself.</p><p>I&#8217;ll talk about the film, but more than that, I&#8217;ll talk about what prepares me for this journey. <strong>Because I sincerely believe that if more people saw the honest, messy truth of how my journey unfolds, they&#8217;d realize they&#8217;re just as capable of doing it too, maybe even going further.</strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[To The World’s Chaos These Days]]></title><description><![CDATA[POV of a young person who cares]]></description><link>https://chamlungg.substack.com/p/to-the-worlds-chaos-these-days</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://chamlungg.substack.com/p/to-the-worlds-chaos-these-days</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chấm Lửng]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 13 Apr 2025 02:00:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!6PGJ!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1b272296-dcac-48a0-b339-c6bed075508b_3024x2092.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days, every time I open my phone, it feels like I&#8217;m scrolling through the apocalypse.</p><p>A deadly earthquake just hit Myanmar.

started to catch a glimpse about how decisions made on one side of the world would ripple through every facet of our existence on the other, how similar politics and religions could shape up different societies, why this diplomatic works for this country but not for others, etc. I also experienced the dire consequences of climate change when I had to survive a packed train with temperatures soaring to 50&#176;C outside in the spring! Realizing how little I know, I began my <em>diving</em> into the world, through reading and hands-on experience of social work, and <em>yes</em>, more travel.</p><p>The more I learn, the more questions keep piling up. It&#8217;s overwhelming and frustrating. But at the same time, I feel this strange, growing intrigue&#8212;as if the questions themselves are helping to push me beyond myself, considering my role in a much bigger picture.</p><h2><strong>Opportunities Born in Chaos</strong></h2><p>Truth to be told, I haven&#8217;t gone to college yet. I wasn&#8217;t born with many privileges, resources, or connections; neither do I follow the typical path laid out by society for the role model I want to become: <em>someone who spends their life in advocacy, in social work, in trying to make the world better for those who can&#8217;t fight for themselves.</em></p><p>And from where I stand now, I believe that this global instability holds transformative possibilities. <strong>It creates more opportunities than ever for young people who don&#8217;t follow traditional paths like me to get involved and make an impact.</strong></p><p>The recent 7.7 magnitude <a href="https://apnews.com/article/myanmar-ceasefire-military-resistance-earthquake-disaster-05329d5a2448d0afd9d7c09e55a1c759">earthquake in Myanmar</a> has had devastating effects, killing over 3,600 people, injuring more than 5,000, and affecting approximately 17.2 million people across six regions. While the consequences are dire, this disaster has also sparked an increase in humanitarian responses, particularly from organizations and UN agencies like UNICEF. </p><p>In fact, UNICEF is <a href="https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/millions-children-grave-risk-following-myanmars-deadliest-earthquake-decades">ramping up efforts</a> by hosting more courses and seminars on disaster risk reduction, and they are actively seeking youth collaborators to help co-create a disaster risk reduction course. This is an opportunity I&#8217;m thrilled to be a part of, contributing by disseminating information, creating infographics, making videos, and more. </p><div

a chance for youth to diversify their engagement in meaningful ways. While I fully recognize the severity of the situation, I want to emphasize the potential opportunities for involvement that may often go unnoticed, especially for young people who are eager to contribute, regardless of our backgrounds.</p><h2>The Power of Our &#8220;Tiny Screens&#8221; and the Beyond</h2><p>Thanks to social media, self-education has become incredibly accessible.</p><p>From where I come from, the media often paints Trump as a foolish leader. But if he were really <em>stupid</em>, how did he rise to where he is now? I&#8217;m more interested in the <em>why</em>, the psychology behind people's beliefs, the experiences that shape the narratives they hold, and the deeper motivations that drive their choices. And funny enough, while global debates rage over tariffs and protests break out, I find myself creating a second TikTok account to (kinda) <em>force</em> myself to interact with opposing viewpoints, in order to break the echo chamber.</p><p>At the same time, I try not to let the media consume me. It&#8217;s easy (and tempting) to get lost in the constant stream of disasters, scandals, and hot takes. I haven&#8217;t traveled and seen as much, but enough to understand that the headlines never tell the full story.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

laughter shared between strangers, the way beauty often exists alongside hardship. There&#8217;s always more nuance. More softness. More humanity than the breaking news banners put up.</p><h2><strong>What Matters, Eventually</strong></h2><p>I still sometimes think about the time my ex called me a <em>toxic optimist</em>. I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s true (<em>someone confirm, please!</em>), but one thing I do know for sure is this: in the midst of a world unraveling into chaos, hope and faith are my coping mechanisms, the ultimate weapons against confusion, despair, frustration...you name it.</p><p><strong>Hope isn&#8217;t naive&#8212;it&#8217;s necessary. It pushes us to reevaluate our values, to search for meaning even in the mess. On the other hand, faith grounds us. Even as we grow and change, it offers an anchor, so we don&#8217;t feel like we&#8217;re losing ourselves in the process.</strong></p><p>And collective pain, as brutal as it is, can crack things open. It can mark the beginning of something different. Maybe not today. Maybe not next year. But eventually, things shift.</p><p>And honestly? It&#8217;s okay to not pick a side or cling to one fixed opinion. I&#8217;m still learning. Still unlearning. Still piecing things together. But I believe there&#8217;s deep value in the effort of taking the time to hear the full picture, to understand, even when it shakes what I think I know.</p><p><em><strong>To the youth out there, what is your coping mechanism?</strong></em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh holy Vietnam!: Chợ Chiều Jazz]]></title><description><![CDATA[T&#244;i r&#7845;t th&#237;ch c&#225;i t&#7845;p n&#7853;p kinh h&#7891;n c&#7911;a ch&#7907; l&#250;c 5,6h chi&#7873;u.]]></description><link>https://chamlungg.substack.com/p/oh-holy-vietnam-cho-chieu-jazz</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://chamlungg.substack.com/p/oh-holy-vietnam-cho-chieu-jazz</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chấm Lửng]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 06 Apr 2025 02:18:20 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/160651731/77696181278cece89b528c3052630525.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>*Nh&#7899; coi video &#273;&#7875; c&#243; m&#7897;t tr&#7843;i nghi&#7879;m &#273;&#7885;c tr&#7885;n v&#7865;n nh&#7845;t nha*</em></p><p>T&#244;i r&#7845;t th&#237;ch c&#225;i t&#7845;p n&#7853;p kinh h&#7891;n c&#7911;a ch&#7907; l&#250;c 5,6h chi&#7873;u.
