Snippets from adult commentary about their state in life reveal two general perspectives: One, overwhelmed by the responsibilities of adulthood, wishes to go back to the good old times were life was much simpler. And the other is glad that past has gone and embraces adulthood and its quirks. Oftentimes, the portrayal of a day-to-day routine of going to a passionless job and going home with not much time or money to do anything other than eat and sleep makes me fear for my future. With that thought in mind, I seek answers that can fill the void that will potentially hollow as I grow older and wonder about what I have done with the life I have been given.

Constant strain and anxiety that will inevitably come can be simmered down if I have a friend or an open ear to listen. As a way to keep my mental health optimal, I will make efforts to spend fun times with people close to me and maintain good relations with them. As we spend time together, we bond and create joyful memories that make life brighter. Connecting back to the roles of the family, these connections give me a sense of safety and security. With them, I would not feel isolated and alone. I will schedule all I have to do in moderation as to not become overworked and fold in quiet time for myself whenever possible. As a part of my culture, I was taught to meditate,become mindful about whatever I do, in the Buddhist religion.

Vietnamese people place elders at a high regard and emphasize filial piety, so I will most likely live close to my parents or have them live with me. As for my future family prospects, I do not see myself married or having any children.

Adding more children of my own to the population would place them in a world where resources are becoming more and more unsustainable. Adhering to the Millenial trend of pushing back rights of adulthood like starting a family and marriage, I would like to enjoy my life without major commitments to others. As major events, I would like to travel around the world. Weekends will be filled with plenty of roadtrips or fun activites like rock climbing,
