今天我的 Facebook 臉書粉專突破了十萬個粉絲，從來沒有想過我竟然可以在短短的一年達到這個里程碑。也許，對於廣大的網路世界來說，這個數字可能不是特別稀奇，但對於我來說是非常有意義的。其實，大部分的人應該不知道，我千里迢迢從加州飛來台灣，是為了追尋一場戀愛，可能有點像在拍電影，不過我的初衷真的不是要來做音樂，而是我遇見了一個獨特的女孩，她讓我墜入了愛河。
就在我搬來台灣不久之後，這段感情並沒有像我想像中這麼順利，那時衝動的我又沒有做好什麼規劃，一時之間發現自己沒有工作也沒有目標，徬徨地想著是否要回去美國。
2016年年初，在一陣深思熟慮與掙扎之後，我決定給自己一個挑戰--每個禮拜做一個音樂的影片，試試看在台灣有沒有人對我的音樂有興趣。剛開始的時候真的很艱難，即使沒什麼人要看我的影片，我還是要督促自己照著計劃前進。最辛苦的時候，我的戶頭裡甚至只剩3000台幣。不過，很神奇的就是在我這麼低潮時，出現了一絲絲的轉機，開始有人觀賞我的影片、轉貼我的影片。才幾個月的時間，我從身上只有3000元的小夥子，搖身一變成為Samsung新款手機的代言人；也從3000人的粉絲團，躍昇到100000個粉絲。我在這邊要由衷地感謝每一位粉絲對我的信心，並且欣賞我對音樂的執著。
希望我的故事能夠激勵每一個擁有夢想的人，朝著目標一步一步去實踐、去實現。我憑著一股對愛情的傻勁來到台灣，失戀之後也是好幾度想要回家，但我堅持住了，即使沒有任何公司或經紀人的幫助，我還是靠著自己走到今天。我的重點絕對不是要炫耀！就像我前面提到的，我知道100000個粉絲終究也只是一個數字。今天po文唯一的目的，就是期盼能感動到螢幕另一端的你，對你內心的夢想說說話。
我相信2017年會有更大更美的事情等著我去經歷，但願神擴張我的境界，甚至超乎我自己的想像。也祝福大家在新的一年都有所突破，謝謝你們。
I hit 100,000 followers on Facebook today. I never imagined I would be able to accomplish this in just one year. In the grand scheme of things, 100,000 on Facebook isn't a whole lot. But my story... Man I came to Taiwan from California to chase after love. The majority of you don't even know... I didn't come to Taiwan because I was so passionate about pursuing music. I came to Taiwan because I met a girl and fell in love with her. But shortly after I moved here, the relationship didn't work out and I was left with no direction, no job, no goals or plans. I wanted to move back to America because my relationship failed. At the start of 2016 I decided to make weekly videos in my room to see if anybody would watch them. It was so tough in the beginning, I had to really force and push myself even when nobody watched them. When I hit rock bottom, I was down to 3,000NT in my bank account. Surprisingly, things began to pick up and people in Taiwan were starting to watch and share my videos. I went from 3,000NT in my bank to being the spokesperson for the newest Samsung Galaxy phone within several months. I went from 3k to 100k followers within a year. I want to thank every one of my followers because you believe in me and appreciate my joy in making music. I hope my story can inspire you to pursue your goals and motivate you to chase your dreams. I came to Taiwan to pursue love, didn't work out and wanted to move home many times, but I stuck through it. I had no help from any company or manager, I did it all by myself. I'm not saying this to brag about how good I am, because like I said, 100,000 is just a number. I'm only hoping that my story can reach out and speak to you. 2017 has bigger and greater things for me. God is going to take me to places where I would never imagine.
