Who is the writer?

---

The writer graduated from his Law and Finance double degrees in 2017 and moved from Adelaide to Sydney for work in 2018.

The writer thought it was a good beginning and he thought lawyer was the career he wanted for his life. Half a year later, he realised the legal industry was not the thing he wanted and therefore, he quitted this career after finishing the required two year's supervision.

The writer does not want to criticise the lawyer's career but he highly discourages other people to study law and invest in this career path after he has worked in this industry for 2 years.

The writer really likes drawing, designing and creating things that have his own styles. He has ever dreamt of becoming a graphic designer, a cook and a car racer and so on. However, his parents have been discouraging him from thinking of these careers by saying that these careers will lead him to become poor. The writer feels really regretted listening to his parents.

The writer believes many young people, especially those who grew up in an Asian family, are influenced by their parent's traditional Asian thinking since their childhood. Many of these parents disregard their children's dreams and made them think that only Lawyers, Doctor, Dentist and other similar professions are considered to be successful in this society. However, the writer totally disagrees with the way how these Asian parents are teaching their children.

To all their parents: Young people's dreams should not be disregarded. Rather than saying discouraging things to these young people, why not give them some supports and guidance so that these young people could at least have a try?

To all young people: Never give up on your dreams and goals. Yes, there will be obstacles on the way to the destination, but you never know until you give it a try. You might not really need a very high educational level to achieve your dream, but you surely need a very determined mind to take steps to make your dream comes true.

Mental Health and You?

---

To make it simple, the writer wants the reader to understand that one's mental health is more important than everything else. If the things you are doing now affects your mood and appetite, and you cannot even enjoy the free time on weekends, you should then really consider stop doing it. If you are worried about the fact that Monday is coming during your free time on weekends, then you should seriously consider quitting the job you are doing and find something else which makes you feel easier. Take a break and have some mind's space. Start to think if this type of work is suitable for you or not. Human needs taking breaks, you are not a working machine. You have the right to politely reject your boss and take a good rest from work. It will be too late to do so when the balloon is already at its limit. You must not disregard your mental health.

Purpose of making SIXMEs?

---

The writer of SIXMEs hopes to raise awareness of mental health wellbeing. Love and respect yourself - follow your heart and be your true self. You do not need to compromise when you know the outcome will make you unhappy or regretful. The writer has disrepected himself in the past by either saying yes or ok to something or some people even when he was not too happy about the things that were going to happen. As a result, he only felt unhappy and depressed. For instance, he could have rejected his boss's invitation to meet after work or said no people whom he did not wish to go out with. I know it is difficult for some people to reject others, but this is what we should do for the better of our mental health wellbeing.
