How long have you been dating yourself?

Welcome to WRITTEN BY CHANG – A Vietnamese Black Sheep’s journey to Freedom, Creativity and Self-Discovery. How intriguing it is to date oneself! By delving into my personal journey, I hope to inspire you to find your answer, to seek your own paths, to celebrate diversity in love and life, and to pursue your passions without restraint.


Mental Health
