Write at the last day of 2024.

Interestingly, I planned to write 10 English articles in 2024.

But so far, I have only finished 3 out of 10.

Procrastination is really great.

Surely, this one is not the only one.

However, I still think I have achieved a lot throughout this year.

Because I defeated myself.

In the middle of this year, I took a break from my job.

Yes, I started my gap year.

How to say, actually this decision was not an easy one.

I had to face the employment difficulties caused by the economic slowdown, low education level, and age.

But, I just want to follow my heart.

I mean, I have thought about this for more than a year.

Actually, my previous job was really great; it offered a high salary and a flexible work environment.

So, stepping outside my comfort zone was a really courageous thing to do.

After gaining my freedom, I traveled almost every month.

The farthest place I visited was Inner Mongolia Province.

And I still plan to visit Heilongjiang Province next month.

Well, as a person who was born and raised in southern China, watching the snow is a really exciting imagination.

Particularly watching it with my own lover (my wife).

To achieve my goals, I rejected a job offer that I was really interested in.

As an adult who is already married, being out of work is a risky thing.

Thankfully, my wife always supports my decisions.

Actually, I have no external pressure.

More pressure comes from my thoughts.

It's really hard to describe my emotions.

Sometimes, the fear of the future and the frustration of not creating value seem to engulf me.

Sometimes, I just want to give up chasing my goals (studying English, traveling, and seeking a fulfilling job).

But I understand that I only live once, so I don't want to settle for life.

Additionally, I just want to fulfill my lover's wish to accompany each other as much as possible.

Really strange, but love is one of the factors that gives me courage.

Love is my primary driving force.

Lastly, it's New Year's tomorrow; happy New Year to you all!
