INNOCENCE The writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once wrote in 'The Little Prince': 'All adults were once children, but few remember that.' This statement serves as a haunting reminder of a world we have forgotten somewhere on our journey to adulthood – the world of innocence. If the adult soul is a multi-layered painting, a blend of hope and disappointment, calculation and weariness, then the soul of a child is like a pristine white sheet of paper. In the center of the frame, the face of the smallest child looks up with curiosity and delight. Those eyes sparkle as if looking at something truly captivating, but more importantly, they contain unadulterated innocence. Around him are the two small figures of two other children, their backs to the camera, carefree as their childhood, their gazes differing in perspective. I created a highly evocative composition: childhood is presented from two perspectives – innocently observing the world and carefree turning away from the worries imposed by adults. These children are not bound by prejudices, not pushed around by what they "must" and "should." They are simply living in their most instinctive and purest way.

And perhaps, that's what evokes a fleeting sense of nostalgia in viewers, reminding them of their childhoods: a time when they were so innocent, so pure. We think about the feeling of returning to childhood. A childhood that doesn't need to be perfect, just one with carefree moments enough to grow up, to cherish, so that when we look back, we smile: "Ah, I was once just as simple." Because ultimately, innocence was once an integral part of each of us. It didn't disappear, it was just gradually obscured by layers of dust from responsibility, fear, and the calculations that adult life forces us to carry. We learn to doubt before trusting, to weigh the pros and cons before feeling joy or sorrow. And then, the more we mature, the further we drift from our true selves. We possess more, know more, but rarely feel fulfilled. But perhaps, growing up isn't about losing innocence, but about learning to protect it. It's about choosing to retain a glimmer of innocence amidst a world full of turmoil. It's about understanding life's dark sides, but not letting that darkness engulf your soul. It's about allowing yourself to believe in kindness, even after being hurt; allowing yourself to be moved by the most ordinary things. 🩵

Hue. Saigon. Hanoi.

That's the title of a song composed by musician Trinh Cong Son.

I previously posted an introduction to this talented musician.

The song expresses the fervent hope for a day of peace so that the three regions of North, Central, and South Vietnam, and the three largest cities of the 1970s—Hanoi, Hue, and Saigon—would no longer be separated !

Before 1975, Vietnam was divided along the 17th parallel.

The North followed communism. The South, with its capital Saigon, followed liberalism !

On April 30, 1975, the communist North entered Saigon and occupied the South, remaining there until now !

This song was once sung by students in community activities, dreaming of a day of peace.

However, peace also comes at a price, and the people of the South were the losers in a terrible, evil, and absurd war !

My dear friends, please listen to this song sung by a girl in both French and Vietnamese ! The AI ​​performs a song with music added to the clip.

Al Bano and Romina. Libertad .

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I spent more time on Tumblr.com than Facebook. These two people, of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean origin (I guess), had very similar posts, so I remembered them ! One would post, and the other would reblog it on their page. One night, I went to a female friend's house and saw this song sung by two members of the band Al Bano and Romina. The song is called Libertad, which means "Freedom" in Italian. The melody was so captivating and relentless. But that's the story of the song itself. Below, in the comments section, there was only one person: a Turkish guy with the words: "I remember you." You know what ? I was so moved that even though the song had stopped a long time ago, I was still sitting there... And then I remembered so many things that had happened and were happening. I remembered names and faces that were about to be forgotten ! One day, try sitting alone in the dark and reflecting on your life. You'll realize that sometimes life is too long for us to remember both the loves and the sorrows ! But other times, life is too short for us to forget the secret entanglements, the fleeting happiness, and even the boundless hatred !
