Pieces of an Unremarkable Life

Synopsis

We have always been taught that a good life means focusing only on what matters, cutting out the unimportant things, and making every single minute count. Thames THINKtang used to believe that, too. For over a decade, he cut comics, video games, football, and traveling out of his life. But the more he raced against time, the more rigid and lifeless his existence became, leaving him unable to love himself at all. It wasn't until one day, standing by a lakeside far away from home, that he realized something profound: Lego blocks taught him systematic thinking, Final Fantasy sparked his passion for learning English, Harry Potter ignited his love for reading, and trips he once dismissed as a waste of time gave him memories he would never trade for anything. It is precisely those seemingly unimportant things that slowly shaped who he is, turning him into a uniquely one-of-a-kind person.
