Lost

Often, at a certain stage in life, people fall into a state of confusion, unsure of what they truly want. In the mundane routine of work, they gradually lose sight of the pursuit of meaning in their profession. Remembering when I first graduated, my heart was filled with fervent aspirations. Back then, I would have said without hesitation that I longed to write code—code that could amaze and be incredibly impressive. However, since starting work, I’ve been exposed more to business-related matters, much of which is thanks to the benefits brought about by industry development.

Regarding my outlook on life, I haven’t included marriage, having children, and establishing a family or career within my sphere of thought. My mind is almost empty, and I just want to enjoy the present moment. Every weekend, I like to play games quietly and often spend the whole day staying at home, immersed in my own little world.

Everyone needs something in their life that they love and wholeheartedly dedicate themselves to

Buy a house

A couple of years ago, I was still thinking about saving up to buy my own house and carefully calculating every expense towards that goal. However, seeing the prices of houses continue to rise, I went from initial anxiety and resentment to eventually becoming numb. I gradually felt that even if I bought a house, it would just be another heavy burden on me, so I gave up on the idea.

Save money

Initially, saving money was to achieve small goals, such as building a high-performance desktop computer, buying a long-desired camera, or taking an impromptu trip. But now, I approach saving money with a more relaxed attitude, no longer worrying too much about daily expenses, eating what I want when I see it, and daring to try new things.

Go home

In the end, I realized that what I longed for most in my heart was simply to go home. It didn’t require doing anything special, just returning to that familiar place and feeling the warmth and tranquility of home.
