🌕 I Made My First Lantern for Mid-Autumn — And Met My Neighbors
“I used to spend every festival scrolling through my phone.
This year, I joined a lantern-making workshop through this platform. I met my neighbors, learned to make my first paper lantern, and walked with others under the moonlight.
At that moment, I realized — the true meaning of a festival is connection between people.”
🍂 A Thanksgiving That Changed How I See Gratitude
