It’s a question many of us carry quietly. Sometimes we hide it, sometimes we laugh it off with sarcasm, but we feel it deeply—that longing for a finish line, for a moment where life finally breathes with us instead of against us. We’ve heard comforting sayings like “sau cơn mưa trời lại nắng”  (after rain comes sunshine) or “sau cơn mưa mới thấy cầu vồng”  (after every storm, there is a rainbow).

Yes, one day, the line between what’s real and what’s artificial might become impossible for human eyes to distinguish (or is it already?) but unless we experience it ourselves, it’s easy to overlook how art doesn’t just heal the audience. It also heals the artist. No one heals by rushing the process or optimizing for the outcome. Healing isn’t a d
