My Unexpected TikTok Revelations: A 40-Something’s Take on Gen Z

From my Point of View Disclaimer: This post is just my personal reflection as a 40-something creator navigating TikTok for the first time! It’s written with lighthearted curiosity and humor, not judgment. Every generation has its own unique way of communicating, expressing identity, and navigating the world. And the following are just a few observations that made me stop and think. Resistance, Realities and the Algorithm I’ll admit it: I was a late adopter. I didn't join TikTok until my mid-40s. For the longest time, I resisted opening an account simply because of its origins and all the hypes around it. But eventually, the creator side of me took over. I wanted more exposure for my YouTube Channel content, so I figured, why not cross-post to TikTok and see how it goes? What started out as a purely practical distribution tactic turned into a fascinating social experiment. Day by day, I found myself scrolling through the endless stream of short-form videos and began uncovering some...

I am...

I am:

1) going 32 this year;

2) completing my RMIT degree program by end of year *fingers crossed*;

3) repaying full for my study loan with Maybank by end of 2013;

4) planning for pre-honeymoon to Korea (but with his friends along) in early Feb-Mar 2014;

5) planning and designing my new flat with a certain theme (undecided yet);

6) preparing myself to be a wife;

7) planning and preparing for our small-scale wedding to be held hopefully in 2014;

8) going for a post-honeymoon after our wedding

9) setting up my own business that I'm interested *fingers crossed*, and 

10) planning to retire by 45 or maybe extend to 55 years old the most.

So this is what I have planned for myself. It is very current and realistic.

I am also:

1) grateful for whoever I don't know out there who pop by my blog;

2) grateful for those who like my photos posted on Instagram (very greatly encouraged);

3) grateful for those who follow me on Instagram (except maybe fake account or sort);

4) grateful that Pinterest is around and let me see the world in a broader perspective, and

5) grateful for having Twitter to vent my frustration and Facebook no longer my choice.

Most importantly, 

I am grateful that I am in this world to irritate and get irritate by others.

Peace!
