  Coming from a family that has always worked hard to make ends meet, I&apos;ve learned to appreciate the little things and keep moving forward. 🌱<br><br>It&apos;s been over two months since I last went home. This video is a small diary of my trip back—sharing a family meal, introducing the people who mean the most to me, visiting my grandma, wandering through the local market, and picking lotus flowers while reflecting on the journey ahead.<br><br>If this video brings you a little warmth or reminds you of home, I&apos;d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. ❤️ Your support, whether it&apos;s watching, sharing, or simply leaving a kind message, truly means a lot to me.<br><br>And if you&apos;d like to support my journey and treat me to a coffee, you can do so here: <a href="http://ko-fi.com/thulifeinvietnam">Ko-fi.com/thulifeinvietnam</a> ☕<br><br>Thank you so much for your kindness, for walking this journey with me, and for being a part of my story.

  You may not have a lot of money or material possessions but the love of your family makes you one of the richest persons in this world that love is golden

  Your grandmother&apos;s home is lovely. You probably don&apos;t realize this, but all her furniture and woodwork would cost a FORTUNE in the US or any other western country. Those are all collector&apos;s items and here are put on display in museums. Her home is spotless and uncluttered. I admire the heard work she has put in to making it so nice. &nbsp;Never apologize for your heritage.

  I watched this with my two kids (7 and 9) who literally have everything. I&apos;m trying to teach them that the world looks different for everyone and that you can&apos;t choose where you&apos;re born or the hand you&apos;re dealt, but that you should appreciate what you have, enjoy life, and know you can become anything you want. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Love from Sweden.

  Your family seemed so sweet and so so supportive of you and your endeavors. Loved watching the market it reminded me living overseas and Indonesia and the Middle East.

  Your grandmother choked me up when you were leaving, when her face dropped my tears started. Lovely video thank you for sharing with us

  Hello Thu! I just loved this video.I am from Saskatchewan Canada and I grew up relatively poor in a family of 7 girls and two boys. One of my fondest memories is when I went home from school in the city and my mom loading me up with vegetables from her garden.They could not help us get our university degrees but they certainly helped with food they grew.❤️

  Your voice is so calming. You say that you&apos;re poor but you&apos;re rich in family.
