"It is time, unfortunately, for our last topic of this project. First, I would like to tell you that it was a pleasure collaborating with you on this project and hopefully we will see each other in Vietnam soon!
Faith is understood as a kind of knowledge attended by a belief that excludes doubt. Because of this, we can see a lot of people being kept away from reaching their full potential because of some ideologies that are implemented from a young age. For me, faith means the belief in God or a certain spiritual power that is above all of us, but at the same time I think this should not limit any kind of desires we have. Besides this, I think that we should have faith in all the decisions we make and the most important, we should have confidence in ourselves.
Personally, I do have faith in a certain spiritual existence, even though I'm not attending church or any religious gatherings. I always took this as a moment of positive thinking, of clearing your mind and thoughts in front of a divine power.
Living abroad for few years already, I realized that this mentality is changing step by step and this faith in certain spiritual beliefs is disappearing. Seeing a lot of churches and religious sites that are used nowadays for different purposes or abandoned made me ask myself how this changed in people's perspective and what made them have such a turnover in this matter.
For this image I would like to portray this discrepancy between the old habits and thinking on religious aspects that is still visible in this 'new' world that we live in, where the new generations will not have any of this in their education and faith could be never understood as such.
With all this being said, I wish you all the best, stay safe and take care of yourself, my friend! We will keep in touch and see each other soon!"

"Yeah, it went fast, isn’t it? Me too man, I’m really happy that I had the chance to meet you and involve in this project with other people, it was a pleasure for sure! Maybe this project is an omen that might lead us to something in the future, who knows right, haha?
I agree with you, all religions and gods energize us so that we can believe in ourselves more. After we pray, we will still have to be the ones to make the decisions and walk the path we have chosen.
Personally, I am at the age that there are loads of doubts in my mind and I started realizing that I know nothing. I can’t be certain about things, because certainty just keeps disappointing me and hurts the poeple around me. But what I believe now is that I would pay the price for each of my actions. I accept that I’m a human and a sinner like everyone else, and I will learn my lessons slowly over the years to respect and be more kind to people. I have faith in myself that I can do it.
Stay safe, stay positive and have faith in yourself, my friend. Until next time, Hasta la vista!"
