As 2023 wraps up, I’ve been here in Taiwan for more than a year now. With meagre income—okay, almost none—money’s been tight, like really tight, mostly just scraping by on my savings. I came here with big dreams fuelled by strong ideals, but they ultimately sold me out in the end.
Looking ahead to 2024, I’ve got a new game plan:
Besides making garments, I’m also crafting and selling small items. It’s all about sharpening my skills and putting in the hustle at local markets. Sure, my heart’s set on building a clothing brand eventually, but right now, I’m making sure I don’t starve to death.
I’ve always been navigating through life based on intuition and gut feeling. It feels like my life is caught in a cycle of trial and error, consuming time and energy, only to possibly end up with nothing in the end. Yet, despite this, I still persist.
“Isn’t it strange?“
2023年即將結束了。
我在台灣已經超過一年。
微薄的收入—好吧，幾乎沒有—僅依靠老本勉強維持生活。
一股熱血為理想（理想終究把我賣了）
2024，新的計劃：
除了女裝，我將製作一些小物品。
努力琢磨手藝，努力地跑市集。
當然，我的心思始終在服裝品牌上。
但現在，我想先確保自己不被餓死。
一直以來，我都是憑直覺和內心感覺穿梭於生活中。
我的人生好像在從不斷錯誤的循環中耗時耗力，最終可能是一場空。
我不知道這些軌跡和選擇會把我帶到哪裡。
然而，盡管如此，我仍然堅持任性。
“真是奇怪！”
