Questions:

If you get an opportunity to give advice to your 18 year old self, what would you like to say?

I guess I would give some vague (not clear) advice, because I never wanna know what will happen next, and I’d rather live in the moment. So I wouldn’t want to give away any secrets of the future to myself.

If I had a chance to give some advice to my 18 year old self, I will tell myself to stop being a baby.

My thirtieth birthday is important in my life. I made a very important decision on that day. Then my life changed very much. So the second question, if you got a chance to go back to your thirtieth birthday, what would you like to tell yourself?

I’d like to tell myself that my plan is still working out pretty well, but it’s taking a bit slower than I expected,  so just be patient and don’t give up.
