In the last days of 2010, as I reflect on the past decade, I often think about the butterfly effect of my high school graduation. My unfulfilling high school experience led to a summer of watching movies and TV shows, and a subsequent job as a game server host, which I eventually left to pursue further education. That decision, however, left me struggling to find purpose and meaning in my life.
I applied to university but ended up in a course I was not passionate about, where I simply went through the motions of attending classes and trying to cope with the monotony of it all.
However, things took a turn for the better when I started working in the industry. The fast-paced and ever-changing landscape of the internet world allowed me to learn and grow, and for the first time, I felt like I was doing something meaningful.
Looking back, I am grateful for the lessons I learned, the experiences I had, and the people I met. I realize that finding meaning in life is not a one-time event, but a continuous process, and it's okay to take your time and explore different paths.
As I enter into a new decade, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the opportunities that lie ahead. I hope that my story can inspire others to embrace their own journey and find their own meaning in life.
