If not in the past, perhaps in the future, or even in the present." With a somewhat world-weary disposition, I approach the world with a myriad of questions, my daily routine involving questioning life a million times over. While I question myself, connections also offer opportunities to engage in dialogue with diverse individuals, leading to more doubts and more questions. Some doubts, some questions, some daily experiences may not yield answers; Life is full of possibilities in the grey areas, too many unspeakable and unclear feelings and experiences, But perhaps from some of our doubts, we can gain a tiny bit of understanding about ourselves and humanity. Of course, this is merely a possibility, but it's okay if we don't gain any further insight. Because I firmly believe that even if the absurdity of the world is a fact, and we may have to question life a million times a day, The most important thing is to take gentle care of ourselves, maintain our curiosity to explore, and treat others with kindness. The book is divided into four main themes: Self-Worth, Relationships, Career, and the Meaning of Existence, with a final chapter on Self-Care. Let us question life together, embrace curiosity, and experience adventure with kindness. 【Author Introduction】 Jik Liao Formerly a social worker in Hong Kong, now living in Canada, unsure of where in the world I will be in the future. Different thoughts constantly drift through my mind, always accompanied by anxiety and unease, leading me to question life a million times daily. From sharing my daily life on Instagram to briefly having a space for intimate conversations, I have always hoped to connect with different people. Leaving a city behind always requires some way to maintain a connection with its people and things. Traditional Chinese characters are moving and are my mother tongue; writing brings me back to a state of peace and allows for honest conversations with myself. I hope to continue experiencing life, reading, listening to music, and watching movies, documenting my thoughts and reflections through writing. If it resonates with you, the reader, or prompts us to think together, it imbues this connection with meaning. Thank you for giving me this experience.
