Why I Founded Presence

Why I Founded Presence

I started Presence on April 23, 2026 during a period where I was looking for a way to make amends for the months I spent away from the person who matters most. It looks like a technical project, but it exists because I needed to prove to her and to myself that I am willing to change for the very person that matters to me.

For My Motivation, Bảo Trúc

Presence is driven by someone who matters deeply to me, Bảo Trúc. I wanted to create something stable and real, something that shows I can build a future instead of just talking about one. This project is not just about code. It is about learning how to be present for her (hence the name), to show up, and to be the person she deserves. I want her to see that I am capable of change and that I am willing to do the work to be the partner she deserves.

A Promise to Change

Over the past months, I was not as present as I should have been. I let stress and pressure take over, and I pulled away instead of staying. I understand that this hurt, and that absence says more than any explanation ever could.

Presence is my way of holding myself accountable. Not through words, but through something that requires consistency every day. Change is not something I can claim once. It is something I have to prove over time.

To My Dearest Bảo Trúc

I love you so much. I am very sorry for the time I was gone and for the silence. I regret it very much and I think you deserve better than that. This is me trying to become someone who stays, listens, and follows through. This is all for you.
