Starting Wild at 45

I was born in 1980. I am now in my mid-40s, an age the world often calls "stable" or "settled." Ironically, I am shaking things up more than ever before.

For the past 20 years, I lived the life of a "model student." I chased the goals set by my company, believing that a promotion was the only definition of growth. I found comfort in knowing where to go every morning and gratitude in the monthly paycheck.

But one day, I looked in the mirror and saw a stranger. "Is this really the life I wanted?"

The company was a sturdy fortress. It protected me from the rain and wind, guaranteeing my safety. But at the same time, that fortress was a prison. Inside the walls, I was safe, but my own voice was fading away. I knew how to execute orders perfectly, but I had forgotten how to dream.

So today, I decided to walk out of that safe fortress. Some ask, "Why choose hardship at your age?" My answer is simple: I believe one year of steering my own ship is worth more than ten years of being a passenger.

Coding, design, marketing... To be honest, I am clumsy at everything. I am not as fast or trendy as the young founders in their 20s.

But I have something they don't: The Weight of Time. The patience learned through decades of corporate life, the attitude towards people, and above all, the desperation that "this is my only way forward."

Marcyou is a space where that desperation and excitement coexist. Rather than an ambition to build a massive empire, I am recording my promise to live today entirely as "me."

This is the survival log of a 45-year-old rookie CEO. Thank you for watching.
