人生本來就不該只有一種活法。

去年我累積了約5萬的飛行里程，去了7個城市。
有一個地方還去了5次。而我現在準備再解鎖新地點。

身為土生土長新竹人，要來反撲一下，許多朋友認為成功就是進半導體、進科技業，讀碩士，存錢、買房、投資股票，身價破億blabla。

我同意一半啦，確實竹北竹市非常多這種人。

但我認為這條路不是唯一的答案，也相信要達到這些成績，
還有許多更多的選擇。

有這樣的意識是一種幸運，因為你可以得到一張沒有題目與答案的白紙。你可以選擇自己要畫什麼在上面。但也是因為如此，你如果不知道要畫什麼，也沒人告訴你，怎麼辦？

我選出透過一次次的機票與親自出動的經驗，獨自探索、累積機運、人脈，趁年輕讓自己找到更多可能性的路。

我不確定終點在哪，但我很確定幾件事：
我只有一次20+歲，而世界總是會有賺錢的機會。

我60歲時我孫子根本不會在乎我20歲存了多少股票，
但他會記得爺爺獨自一人跑遍各國的勇氣與故事。

人生本來就不該只有一種活法。

「我執行相反理論，所以我不再滑手機了。」

現在所有人都在瘋 Threads、IG、YT Shorts。
但為什麼我反而選擇遠離？

原因很簡單：
1.我開始正視自己真正的需要與人生挑戰。
2.我把時間用來探索「我到底要的是什麼」。
3.我不願意一醒來就陷入無意識的比較。
4.我希望把注意力放回真實的人與連結。
5.我選擇用行動來帶動我的人生，戰勝內耗與恐懼。

所以我開始做幾件事：

一天至少不上網兩小時，
去大自然、辦好市多卡、買東西、煮飯、
約朋友、喝咖啡、看書、運動。
不急著回賴、不回 IG 訊息。
建立科技邊界，把人生的掌控權拿回來。

同時，我正在：

找到我真正喜歡的工作、
建立真實的人脈、
學會煮一道菜、
在草地曬太陽吃一口三明治、
喝一杯果汁或咖啡，
重新練習怎麼過「真實而簡單」的生活。

要找我且重要的朋友們，你們都有我的 Line。

其餘的好朋友追蹤者們
我也想和你們建立一個共識

當我沒有發任何東西的時候，
那就是我人生過得最好的時候。

當然，你想經營社群媒體增加變現或粉絲
我非常支持

最後，你追蹤這個帳號還有什麼意義？
有的。

1. 你可以跟我互動
2. 當大家都在展示自己過得多好時，我會在適合的時候提醒你：如何獨立思考並重新建立邊界。
3. 你有機會看到我本人。

其實我2013年就開始在YouTube上傳影片
且得到超過12萬的流量
我非常了解這個遊戲如何運作
因此我才開始相反的過生活。

我會繼續用這個原則生活下去。
也因為這樣的理念，
未來我的孩子，我會讓他們去到一個
選擇更多、自由更多的地方。

Have fun.
Get some fresh air.
Make some friends.
Get married someday.

And don’t be a soul-less scrolling du***ss.

Disclaimer: below is the content I personally wrote. I suggest self care and gender understanding, and do not solicit any s*xist information.

people don’t really understand what men need.

It’s not just affection.
It’s not just s*x.
It’s not just compliments or validation.

What a man truly needs can be summed up in three words:
Love. Support. Peace.

As men grow older, the weight quietly increases.
We’re expected to be emotionally stable, financially capable, physically strong, mentally composed, and socially competent—all at once.
And when we struggle, we’re still expected to carry everyone else’s emotions.

Many men learn early that showing distress is dangerous.
Show too much stress, and you’re suddenly seen as unstable.
Show uncertainty, and you’re labeled incompetent.
Show vulnerability, and you’re silently compared to someone stronger, richer, calmer.

So we stay silent.
We swallow it.
We keep moving.

What hurts isn’t the work, the pressure, or the competition.
It’s the absence of a safe place to rest emotionally.

A man doesn’t need solutions all the time.
Sometimes he just needs someone to say:
“I trust you. 辛苦了. I’m here with you.”

Those words can carry a man through job loss, accidents, failures, and chaos.

Lately, I’ve felt deeply choked by how little emotional safety I’ve experienced.
It’s heavy.
It’s lonely.
And it’s honest.

Maybe great women and great people are everywhere.
Maybe I just haven’t found my environment yet.
So I’m choosing distance, growth, therapy, and a different land to heal.

⸻

To men reading this:

If you feel this weight too, don’t let it rot inside you.
Talk to someone who won’t judge you.
Go to therapy.
Write.
Train.
Build something that gives you stability.

You deserve peace.
You deserve support.
You deserve love that doesn’t disappear when you struggle.

And if no one gives it to you right now—
be the man who gives it to yourself first.

Peace.
