I quit my job at 42 to rebuild the dreams I once gave up

by C.River

I'm a 44-year-old from Japan, rebuilding the dreams I once gave up — even if it meant quitting my job.
I spent over 2,500 hours creating a website and 100 hours producing this music video myself.

🎬 Watch the full video: Hey AI, Generate Me (https://youtu.be/9nnyOz6y7Fo)

It’s about the struggle between humans and AI — and the courage to start again, no matter your age.

I’d love to hear what you think.

    Rebuilding dreams at any age takes courage, but at 42 with real life commitments, it takes even more. The production value on that music video is impressive for a solo effort. The human-AI struggle theme feels especially relevant right now. Wishing you success on this new path.
