If every month has its own specific theme, mine would be "Official". A lot of things happened in a month, but all of them can be condensed to that one word: Official.
Work
June marks the end of my 2 months probation at Brands Vietnam. It is official: I am Content Leader at Brands Vietnam. It has not been the smoothest sailing journey so far and it won't be in the near future. My team got 2 new members, not a whole lot more but for a guy who has only been leading a team of two (including me), this is essentially double the members. More people mean more articles to fix, more ideas needed to be pitch, more training... and I'm barely a pro in this field as well. So yeah, not only I'm officially become the leader (on paper), I'm also technically officially become a TEAM leader.
Love
During the entire time dating, I have broken up with my girlfriend countless time. We fought a lot and we made up a lot more and it has been since the beginning of relationship. The thought of permanently break up did come to mind but I've never had the heart to do it. June marks the official end of our relationship. It's only been a month, but comparing to other time we broke up for like a day or two, i'm counting this as official.
Family
Long story short, the name on my birth certificate is not my real biological father's name. I discovered this when I was 16, it was a shock but I lived through that. After years of living with this unofficial status, my family finally finishing the paperwork for the official transition. By the time that you are reading this, I will be having a brand new identity papers. I didn't and still don't care about a piece of name on a piece of paper, but it still triggers some sort of unnamed feeling within me.
Fear
I finished Masan MT program. It was kind of a meh experience to be honest. My team was ok but the judges are just garbage tier (and they keep emphasis on the 'serve people' mentality which is just peak irony). Anyway, I finally get to participate in a competition. For someone who is super competitive, I haven't been to that many competitions. Since the fell of my middle school local chess tournament and a English singing competitions, my fragile ego and fear of losing prevent me from going try-hard mode on any events that would result in a winner and a loser. June mark the officially end of my fear, even though I don't really care about this lame competition and I lost...
Life path... Maybe?
I have always had one foot in the movie industry. Yep, just one. I never entered nor really exit it. I don't have plan either. I guest I'm just not ready to pursuit it because that means abandoning the safe office life. June actually gave me a chance, a director competition. If I won this, I get scholarship and opportunity to study abroad, which are all very fucking amazing start for my new life path if you ask me. Hopefully, this will turn into something good.
