Family Reunion Reflections, The 5th Child, Growing up Abroad, What's Next? - Rảnh #2: Shayla Allan

let's keep our oh we can still connect online which keeps us close I mean I communicate with Shelly my birth mother every day every day yeah.

what

is there to talk about every day nothing, just you know, sometimes I ask her how her day was, we laugh, we watch shows together, sometimes we eat together, she sometimes has the other day, she had a great um, she made a big vietnamese feast for um. selena and samantha uh and she FaceTimed me and said oh well I wish you were here but here you are and then you have dinner there you know we just keep the connection and that relates to how you do it.

On the way down, that's how other people do it because we can't see each other. We do our best to connect online. Yeah, that's why I call him all the time. That's really interesting. Yeah, like you're closer to your father's house and then. Selena and Samantha are closer to Shelly, so you have that kind of separation and then you meet somewhere in the middle, that's fascinating. Before the Kovit thing, I really wanted to make a documentary as a twist. -outside of samantha and selena, you know I wanted to call it waterloo because that's where they're from, uh, they kind of tell their story a little bit because their life grew, I mean, as much as yours is all over the world and things like that.

That's right, they stayed in one place, but their life was pretty interesting, you know that too, so I wanted to show that, but maybe someday in the future, somehow, somewhere, um now in terms of, um, your, your, your future. right, like uh, I, I, no, no, I don't want to sound like your parents or anything like that, but

what

is your goal, what do you want in life, in fact I've been asked this a lot recently. Okay, and you know what I'm still very young. Well, I don't have many goals yet. I wanted to be a substitute and that's like a medical esthetician is someone who deals with skin and lasers and all that. but I don't want to force myself to do something I really don't want to do, so I allow myself to have this time to discover what I'm really passionate about and soon I'll realize that.

It will take a long time, but I am patient. I think I grew up in a white

family

. You're usually supposed to know what you want to do when you graduate high school and because of how things are changing in the world. world, I would say that my parents have accepted that sometimes it takes a lot longer to think about these things, you know, well, I don't think it's just a white

family

problem, I think it's just being human in that sense, right, it's quite unfair. how we have to decide what we want to do at 18 for the rest of our lives and sometimes people get bored of various things and the decisions they made when they were teenagers, so I can completely understand what passion is, I mean, Even I am still struggling with it now and I better figure it out soon but it is a challenge you know in the modern world and in any family too.

I mean, if you were in a Vietnamese family, it might be even worse for you. You know, you might even have more pressure to do certain things depending on the family. It really depends on family law and how conservative they are and various aspects, but I'm glad your parents are giving you that kind of freedom. I think it's great because in a lot of countries in Europe, for example, they give people a gap year to decide how to travel and obviously we can't do that right now, but you know people need time to figure out what they really like. , etc.

I can completely understand that, that's why I feel like you're pretty relatable to a lot of people besides the family

reunion

, but I think a lot of people will appreciate your honesty, uh, when it comes down to it, uh, what's the best moment of your life my best time of my life I know it's hard I'm sorry I'm just saying random things that come to mind okay probably getting adopted and also reuniting with my family honestly I'm not trying to make it like you know which, honestly, that's really my best moment in my life. I think I've had great times in my life, if I'm not mistaken, but it's the best time for me personally as a person.

I think those two are probably the best moments, right when I was adopted it opened me up to a whole new type of life and meeting my family is like I didn't know it, it just triggered something in me and it just made me realize who I am as a person and it opened up a lot of emotions and love for other people that I meet and I feel like it's going to be a moment I'll never forget so I think those are probably the two best moments of my life that's fair enough yeah there's something you'd like tell people you know, someone out there or something to your fans, you know?

Well, also, you know, stop making false accounts about me. Is there anything else I can say? Just be true to yourself, be true to your family, be true to your fat friends, just don't forget who you are, the person I really left that behind. but yeah, just be true, be yourself, I don't know, it's hard to say, it's really hard to say, I'm just saying, sit down, be true, be true to yourself, be true to your loved ones, don't forget who you are. a person what do you want people to know you for what do you want to be liked by your fans or your followers what do you want them to know you well the only thing they really know me for is because I met up with my family and I would love to show you more of me being with my adoptive and birth family, and I think that's something that I really want you to invest in if you want to see something about me, I'm a very family person, family means a lot to me and if I feel like I am, it's probably as passionate as I can, probably what I'm most passionate about is the happiness that comes with being with my family, being with the people that I care about and I think seeing them see the happiness that I represent and that I emit when I'm around the people that I care about. matter is something that I think they would love to enjoy seeing me, so honestly, you want to see me, name me. family girl, i don't know well, you're still figuring that out, yeah, it's okay, I appreciate it
