During a challenging period, I was overwhelmed by difficulties at work, as well as strained social relationships. I often felt terrible and lacked the confidence to start my old project. I frequently faced the internal conflict of whether to continue working or to give up and seek freedom. During this time, my teacher sent me a thoughtful gift from Canada, which arrived in Vietnam at just the right moment. When I received the gift, I was so touched that I burst into tears. Despite its simplicity and low cost, the gift showed my teacher's deep care and understanding. He wanted to encourage me to persevere through my growth and success, using this gift as a means to relieve stress and rejuvenate. Inspired by this gesture, I spent several days drawing, allowing my creativity to flow freely onto the paper. The act of drawing became a way for me to reconnect with myself and my purpose in life. I sketched aspects from my daily life and envisioned the future of my project. Although I didn't know if these ideas would come to fruition, the process itself was therapeutic. The colored pencils became a reminder of my carefree childhood and helped me regain my energy. I now look back on this gift with deep appreciation. It was a perfect symbol of love and support, arriving at the time when I needed it most. Even though I am now more independent, I will cherish these colored pencils as a symbol of true care and encouragement from someone I deeply respect.
