Since I moved back to my hometown, I have lost so many things. The chance to participate in various activities. The opportunity to meet new people. My “promising” future. The sense of security. My own space.

But as I mentioned in previous articles, the thing I lost most is confidence, or say courage. Leaving workplace made me question myself: can I really make a living via being a freelancer? By translating new articles, writing blogs or on other platform?

I don’t know. I am afraid of making mistakes. I don’t believe in myself. I don’t have the courage to do it. But as I translated Gary Vaynerchuk’s articles, I found a glimpse of hopes. Yeah, no one wants to hear you wining.

I found fun and sense of competence in translating for my long-time-admired Gary. That is what I love to do. Though getting a serious fight with my mother, I have communicated with her. And now I gradually believe I can realize my goal.

The “Wendy’s 642 Things to Write About “ project is a writing plan based on 642 Things to Write About by the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto. If you are interested in this series, please clap or leave a comment. All the articles in this project is free. But if you want to read my own perspective or stories in my country, Taiwan, here is the latest one: How A “Good Boy” Turned out Threatening A Shooting At School in the USA
