Vietnam Travel Postcards: “Don’t Be Afraid to Say Love” Explore 10 Parks/Open Spaces In Vietnam
Through the amazing journey: “Don’t Be Afraid To Say Love” filled with friction and grappling with real life, we urge you to connect more with the surrounding environment and to live. However fragile a physical object may be, it carries an emotion that must be experienced rather than explained. One author captures this clearly, through flower:
Arranging hydrangeas is much like loving. When the flowers fade, the tiny petals fall like waves of snow, whitening the floor. No matter how long you clean, the remnants of a moment of intoxication cannot be fully gathered. Some endings must decay with such quiet devastation. And yet, when a new season of flowers appears—pure and radiant—you cradle them again, forgetting the earlier pain.
Arranging daffodils at their end is like parting from a kindred spirit. When daffodils fade, they draw their petals inward, drying intact on the stem, orderly and silent. The skeletal shadow of the flower cast onto memory becomes a kind of masterpiece, one that people carry for years, recalling only the first season of bloom in their lives.
Seasons turn, flowers change, and the heart learns familiarity. Those who love flowers change as well; why fear their moments of splendor or their decline?
If you have never sent a postcard, you can begin here. Our postcard is available for free. Print it, fill it with intentions then send it, and start the journey.
You are getting your hands dirty and finding that tactile epiphany that a frictionless screen can never give you. It’s the difference between just surviving in a chair and actually living on the ground.
