THE LENGH OF TIME WRITERS SPENT IN SILENCE FOCUSED IN THEIR WRITING MAKES THEIR VOICE SHAKE AND BREAK WHEN THEY SPEAK? 🤔🤔🤔

I love what he said on the last part. It reminds me of what Anne of Green Gables said “Broken things have such a sad beauty. After years of stories and triumph and tragedy infused into them, they can be much more romantical than new things that haven’t lived at all.”

We need Ocean Vuong at this time...when evil prevails from places of power and xenophobia is celebrated, he rises with his voice of wisdom and kindness...not to mention he's an immigrant/refugee.
