Epilogue
You never know how much you love someone until you see them love someone else.
It was also that day that I found out she had a son who was 9 years old and was in primary school. She had been married before but was not happy because her husband beat her and injured her chin. Until now, there is still a clear scar on her chin. After that day, she confided in me a lot about her past and what she had experienced in her past before meeting me. After a week since I went to her house to play, I confessed my love and she accepted. I remember when I confessed to her, she told me, "I've been through a lot in the past, I've had many relationships in the past, they all came to me and then gradually they abandoned me. Because I'm a single mother, are you really and seriously in this relationship, accept me and my child? Because I used to have a family and it broke up?" I thought for a while and then answered her, "I know you have a bad past like other girls, but I believe that you are a good girl, worthy of love and respect. No matter what your past is, I will forgive and accept it. If you agree, I promise to bring you a happy and beautiful future." So she agreed to my confession and accepted to be my girlfriend. A week after that day, she. came down to my room to visit me that day was the weekend Sunday and I told her that you and I work far apart so every time we miss each other we can only call, I want to be near you so I can take better care of you, I want to give you a sense of security and I can protect you better whenever you need it, I want to move closer to your house and work with you, do you agree to this? She agreed and on Wednesday of the following week I asked for leave from the company I was working for to go to the company near her house to work as planned that I told her. On Sunday, when I arrived, she took me to the company she was working for to apply for a job. After I finished the interview, the company made an appointment for me to go to work. Then she took me to find a room. It wasn't until late afternoon that I found a room 1 kilometer from her house. I thought to myself, that's great. Whenever I miss her or she needs me, I can go to her. It's true that when people are in love, they change a lot, and so do I. Every day when we go to work, we meet at the company and see each other and talk to each other, but when we go home, I miss her already. After a few days of working at the new company, I told her that I wanted to pick her up and drop her off at work and go home with her every time she got off work. She agreed, and from then on, we went to work and went home together. In the morning I drove to her house to go to work from early morning until evening when we got home her parents had already eaten dinner and she asked me to eat dinner with her. Her parents were also very nice when I first went to her house to play, my friend told her mother that I was her lover from the first time I came to her house so her parents also loved me very much and considered me as a real son-in-law even though we were not officially lovers at that time. Then time passed and we were still the same, always together, going everywhere and doing everything together. A year later we fell in love, she said she wanted to go to Japan to earn money, then when she came back, she would have money to build a house and we would move out together in January. "Before that, we planned to get married." At that time, I didn't think much, I just thought that we would just work in the country, we would try to save money together and build a house, so when she discussed that with me, I objected and didn't want her to go to Japan. Even though she explained to me, I still didn't listen. We argued, she got angry and didn't talk to me anymore. Even though I texted her, she didn't reply. She didn't even want to meet me at her house. A week later, she said that she had decided to go to Japan and had registered for the exam next month. She was also studying Japanese at a new language center that had just opened near her house. After hearing her say that, I didn't know what to say, I just followed her wishes. On the day she took the exam, I was working because at that time I was alone so I still had to earn money to take care of my life. When she finished the application and told me that she had passed the application to work at a mushroom factory in Nagano province, Japan, I could only congratulate her and encourage her to try harder. After a few days, she went to study Japanese and when she came back, she told me that she wanted me to go with her to Japan. At that time, I also thought about it and decided to go with her to Japan. So the next day, I also went to register for the application to take the exam. Because my application to Japan was urgent, I registered for the application to Japan and the next day someone interviewed me, so that day I had to study all night to prepare.The next day I went to the interview in Hanoi, she went with me and someone from the Japanese language center. When I got to the interview, I went straight into the interview room. She waited outside. After the interview, I went out to wait for the results. I saw her face was very tense. I asked her, she said she was worried about me, wondering if I had passed the application to go to Japan with her. After waiting for 30 minutes, the result was that I had passed the application to work in Niigata province, Japan. From my workplace to her workplace, it was more than 100 kilometers.

The Evolution of Formalism
*The Evolution of Formalism: Understanding the Power of Art* In the realm of literary theory, few concepts have been as influential as formalism. From ancient Greece to modern times, thinkers have grappled with the nature of art and its relationship to reality. In this article, we will explore the development of formalism, from its roots in Aristotle's Poetics to its modern manifestations in the works of Immanuel Kant and Oscar Wilde. *Aristotle and the Origins of Formalism* Aristotle's Poetics is widely regarded as the foundational text of formalism. In it, Aristotle argues that poets do not imitate reality but rather create a new, idealized world. This idea is central to the concept of formalism, which posits that art has its own unique value and purpose, independent of its relationship to the external world. *Sir Philip Sidney and the Defense of Poetry* In his Apology for Poesie, Sir Philip Sidney builds upon Aristotle's ideas, arguing that poetry is a unique form of discourse that creates its own world, separate from the natural world. Sidney sees poetry as a transformative force, capable of creating a "golden world" from the "brazen" materials of reality. *Immanuel Kant and the Faculty of Judgment* Immanuel Kant's Critique of Judgment is a seminal work in the development of formalism. Kant argues that beauty is not a quality of objects themselves but rather a product of the faculty of judgment. He distinguishes between the "purposive" and the "purposeful," arguing that art is characterized by its internal coherence and self-sufficiency. *Oscar Wilde and the Uselessness of Art* Oscar Wilde's famous aphorism, "All art is quite useless," is often seen as a provocative statement. However, in the context of formalism, it takes on a deeper meaning. Wilde is highlighting the unique value of art, which lies in its ability to exist independently of external interests and desires. *Conclusion* The evolution of formalism is a rich and complex topic, spanning centuries and thinkers. From Aristotle to Wilde, we see a consistent emphasis on the autonomy and self-sufficiency of art. This concept has far-reaching implications, not only for our understanding of art but also for our recognition of our own value and capacity for disinterestedness. As we continue to grapple with the nature of art and reality, the insights of formalism remain a powerful and enduring influence.

To all my fellow creators
Why do you share your work and journey with your social network? Nobody cares about what you do in your life. ⏩This! How often do we come across this statement? The argument for instant gratification that we gain while sharing glimpses or content about our journeys being detrimental for us, in the long run, is completely valid. The validation that we crave from external realms often stems from a lower sense of self-esteem.

The Adventure of Life:
## Chapter 1: The Beginning In a quaint little town nestled between rolling hills and a serene river, lived a boy named Sam. From a young age, Sam was captivated by the world beyond his small town. His father, a fisherman, would often tell him tales of the open sea and the adventures it held. Sam's eyes would light up with wonder as he imagined himself sailing across vast oceans, discovering uncharted lands, and meeting people from different cultures. Sam's mother, a gentle woman with a heart full of love, nurtured his dreams. She encouraged him to explore, to question, and to seek out his own path in life. Her belief in him was unwavering, and it fueled his desire to embark on his own adventure. ## Chapter 2: Setting Sail On his eighteenth birthday, with a heavy heart but a determined spirit, Sam bid farewell to his family and set off on his journey. He had saved every penny he earned from odd jobs around town to buy a small, weathered boat. It wasn't much, but to Sam, it was the vessel that would carry him to his dreams. The first few days at sea were exhilarating. The wind in his hair, the salt on his skin, and the endless horizon before him filled Sam with a sense of freedom he had never known. But as days turned into weeks, the reality of his journey set in. The sea was unforgiving, and the loneliness was a constant companion. One stormy night, as waves crashed against his boat, Sam found himself questioning his decision. The relentless storm seemed to mirror the turmoil in his heart. He clung to the hope that there was a purpose to his journey, that the adventure of life was worth the struggles. ## Chapter 3: The Island After weeks of battling the elements, Sam's boat washed ashore on a mysterious island. Exhausted but relieved, he stumbled onto the sandy beach and collapsed. When he awoke, he found himself surrounded by lush vegetation and the sounds of exotic birds. The island was a paradise, a stark contrast to the treacherous sea. As he explored, Sam discovered a small village hidden in the heart of the island. The villagers welcomed him with open arms, and he quickly became part of their community. They taught him their ways, their traditions, and their language. In return, Sam shared stories of his homeland and the adventures he longed for. Among the villagers was a young woman named Aisha. She had an adventurous spirit much like Sam's, and the two quickly formed a bond. They spent their days exploring the island, climbing trees, and swimming in crystal-clear lagoons. For the first time in a long while, Sam felt a sense of belonging and peace. ## Chapter 4: Love and Loss Sam and Aisha's friendship blossomed into love. They were inseparable, finding joy in the simplest of moments. Their love story was like a fairytale, filled with laughter, shared dreams, and the promise of forever. However, life has a way of testing even the strongest of bonds. One fateful day, a sudden illness swept through the village. Aisha fell gravely ill, and despite the villagers' best efforts, her condition worsened. Sam was devastated. He watched helplessly as the love of his life slipped away, leaving him with a heart full of sorrow. In her final moments, Aisha held Sam's hand and whispered, "Don't lose hope, Sam. Life is an adventure, and every journey has its own meaning. Remember our dreams, and let them guide you." ## Chapter 5: The Healing Aisha's death left a void in Sam's heart. He wandered the island aimlessly, consumed by grief. The vibrant paradise that once brought him joy now felt empty and desolate. The villagers, who had become his second family, tried to console him, but the pain was too deep. One day, as Sam sat by the shore, a young girl from the village approached him. Her name was Lila, and she reminded him of Aisha with her bright eyes and adventurous spirit. Lila handed Sam a small, intricately carved wooden box. Inside, he found a letter from Aisha. "Dear Sam," the letter read. "I know you're hurting, and I wish I could be there to hold your hand through this. But remember, our love is eternal. It lives on in the memories we created and the dreams we shared. Find strength in those memories and let them guide you on your journey. Life is an adventure, Sam, and there's still so much for you to discover. With all my love, Aisha." The letter was a lifeline for Sam. He realized that while Aisha was gone, her love and the memories they shared would always be a part of him. He found solace in knowing that she wanted him to continue his journey, to live fully and embrace the adventure of life. ## Chapter 6: A New Beginning With renewed determination, Sam decided to leave the island and continue his voyage. The villagers bid him farewell with heavy hearts, but they understood his need to follow his dreams. Lila, the young girl who had given him Aisha's letter, gifted him a compass. "This will guide you, just like Aisha's love," she said with a smile. Sam set sail once more, this time with a heart full of hope and a sense of purpose. The sea, which had once seemed so daunting, now felt like a vast expanse of possibilities. He navigated through uncharted waters, discovering new lands and cultures. Each new encounter, each new friendship, was a testament to the adventure of life. Years passed, and Sam became a seasoned sailor. His journeys took him to places he had only dreamed of as a boy. He climbed mountains, sailed through stormy seas, and explored bustling cities. Along the way, he met people who shared their own stories of love, loss, and hope. Each story was a reminder of the beauty and complexity of life. ## Chapter 7: Coming Home As Sam grew older, he felt a longing to return to his hometown. The little village by the river, where his adventure had begun, called to him. He wanted to see his parents, to share his stories with them, and to find solace in the familiar. When Sam finally returned home, he was greeted with open arms. His parents, now older but still full of love, listened eagerly as he recounted his adventures. The townspeople, who had watched him grow up, were amazed by the tales he shared. Sam's journey had come full circle, and he felt a deep sense of fulfillment. One evening, as he sat by the river with his parents, Sam looked at the horizon and reflected on his life. The adventure had been filled with highs and lows, with love and loss, but through it all, he had never lost hope. Aisha's words had guided him, and he had lived a life rich with experiences. ## Chapter 8: Legacy Sam spent his remaining years sharing his stories with the next generation. He became a mentor to young dreamers, encouraging them to embark on their own adventures. He told them about the beauty of the world, the importance of resilience, and the power of love. One day, a young boy named Leo approached Sam with a familiar gleam in his eyes. "I want to be an adventurer like you," Leo said. Sam smiled and handed him the compass that Lila had given him years ago. "This will guide you," he said. "But remember, the true adventure is in your heart. Follow your dreams, and let love and hope be your compass." As Sam watched Leo set off on his own journey, he felt a profound sense of peace. The adventure of life was ongoing, a never-ending story passed from one generation to the next. Sam knew that while his time on this earth was limited, his spirit would live on in the dreams and adventures of those he had inspired. ## Epilogue: The Endless Horizon Sam passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. His life had been an extraordinary adventure, filled with moments of joy, heartache, and discovery. He had lived fully, embracing each experience with an open heart. The townspeople honored Sam's legacy by erecting a statue by the river, depicting him with a compass in hand, looking toward the horizon. It served as a reminder that life is an adventure, and that love and hope can guide us through even the darkest of times. Leo, now a young man, stood by the statue, holding the compass Sam had given him. He felt a deep connection to the man who had inspired him to dream. As he looked at the endless horizon, Leo knew that his own adventure was just beginning, and that Sam's spirit would always be with him. And so, the adventure of life continued, a tapestry of dreams and experiences, woven together by the enduring threads of love and hope.
