They wanted me to leave.

In less than two weeks, I packed everything.

I left a country where I had spent my teenage years and adult years.

Where I turned 18, held someone's hand for the first time, learned about love, got my first real job, and picture a future.

The place I once called home.

And that was it.

I found myself back in my hometown.

A place that felt familiar yet at the same time foreign.

I didn't know what to think.

Everything felt like a dream.

But every day I woke up and realized that this was reality.

And the weight of loneliness and uncertainty just grew with each passing day.

Yet in that weird moment of despair, I also started to feel free.

Perhaps this is my chance to start fresh again.

So I went to get this.

This is my favorite drink from the convenience store.

It's lemon jelly something drink.

It's really good.

Yeah, so where was I?

So after I moved back, I really wanted to push my limit and explore different things before I go back to working at a corporate.

And I only had a vague idea of what I want to try.

But I didn't have any clear plans.

So what happened was I started, we started up with some friends.

Which didn't really work out in the end.

But I learned a lot.

And I also tried auditioning for the first time.

Just thought it would be really fun.

And somehow I got signed by an agency.

And honestly, I'm not sure where this is all gonna take me.

And sometimes I do have moments where I kind of contemplate on the decisions that I've made.

One thing that I was certain about was, I knew if I didn't do this now, I would definitely regret a year from now.

And the later it is, the higher the stakes become.

So I like this quote a lot by John Maxwell.

He said, feel early, feel often, but always feel forward.

So even though there happen and there still are a lot of struggles, I'm also learning a lot.

Learning more about who I am, what I want, and what I'm good at, what I'm passionate about.

You just gotta try it out.

Experiment in yourself.

And iterate as you go.

And with all the unpredictability of life, I guess you never know what opportunities might come along the way and how your mindset could change.

So yeah, I'm also learning that the thing so-called destination is actually more like a moving target.

All you need is a general direction.

I don't know the full path.

It's just like sailing a boat on the Pacific Ocean.

You steer in the general direction, keep moving forward, adjusting your course as you go.

And it's okay if you make mistakes and derail a bit sometimes.

You never know what might happen.

Trust the process.

Believe in yourself and the work you put in.

Like Steve Jobs once said, you cannot connect the dots looking forward.

You can only connect them looking backwards.

Instead of focusing on the outcome, set goals based on your effort and actions.

Take one step a day, every day, no matter how big or small it is.

Be patient with the process.

Be kind to yourself.

Know that great things don't come easily.

Great things come from hard work and perseverance.

Remember to celebrate your small wins.

Acknowledge your efforts and give yourself grace when things don't go as planned.

You are on a journey of growth and self-discovery.

And that's what life is about.

And most importantly, always remember to have fun and enjoy the journey.

Don't pursue happiness.

Rather, understand that happiness is to pursue.

I went the wrong way.

And my camera is out of battery, so I'm using my phone to record.

I went the wrong way, didn't I?

I have to take the CMA back.

Because I feel it so strong.

I've been on hold now, baby.

Don't you feel the times are coming When it feels so right To dance in the moonlight, baby With you With you With you Don't you feel the times are coming Because I feel it so strong I've been on hold now, baby Don't you feel the times are coming Can you feel it Can you feel it Don't you feel the times are coming That's right Thanks for watching!
