You know what, I think you should go big

Mar 14 2026

You know what, I think you should go big. Choose a dream that feels larger than life. Just know that whatever you aim for, it will ask a lot from you. So you might as well choose something bold. Why not reach for the stars. Because even if you don't, you'll still end up with a pretty good view.

Speaking from someone who just turned 21 six months ago and recently began my 20s, I really believe this is an exciting age to be alive. I think you should lighten the flame of your soul, as bright and colorful as the fireworks in the sky, for as long as the time you have to be alive, to be truly you.

I'm naive and young, with no responsibilities and no exact plan. I have a dream to travel the world for six months and do everything I want to pursue.

I'm just as worried about my career and falling behind my peers as my desires to travel while I can. The negatives feels a lot more scarier than the butterflies flying in my mind.

But I think I have found a key to decide a path to my life. Your values obviously effects your decisions and mine have always been to live a life that would make me childishly excited for.

To be honest, I am writing this at 6:46AM. I didn't sleep at all because I kept watching videos about bikepacking and traveling. I think Instagram just knows exactly how to keep me up at night but I couldn't help but feel excited again to travel. I wanted to focus on career and jobs and I still will continue to do my best. But I want to prioritize my dreams too. I just feel that if I don't pursue this dream now, I will lose a part of who I am. And everything I have done so far has been a accumulation of living my ideals.

I'm a very curious person who wants to learn and explore. I'm very inspired by people who start their own businesses and walk their own path. What goes in the mind of those who just decides to bike across Europe? Or study abroad? Or open a coffee shop in their van?

I want to take a path I define myself. I don't want to let societal pressure take me on a road I am not yet ready to walk. And I'm very lucky to have parents that support me and raise me to become this way. I wish to inspire my future children to be the same.

I want to live a bit and here are the list of dreams I have.

bike across Europe from London to Budapest
bike across Japan from Hokkaido to bottom.
motorbike across Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City
Travel through china from Shanghai to Yunnan
Create reels & videos that inspire others to live
Keep a journal of notes for each stranger I meet across my during
Travel the world for six months
Embroider my own rock climbing beanie because I really want one
Van travel across America
Open up a shaved ice shop
