社會對三十歲的定義，讓我們必須開啟一場看不到終點的追逐當你的夢想不再受年齡所迫，你真正想要的是什麼？三十歲對你來說代表什麼？要存到一百萬？要有穩定對象準備結婚？要在職場上升到管理職？從古至今，社會都將三十歲視為人生的一道分水嶺，必須完成學業、搬出家裡、經濟獨立、結婚生子，但古時的三十而立，卻令現今的我們三十而「慄」──在低薪、高工時、階級流動困難，加上新冠肺炎肆虐後的「躺平風潮」，我們可能仍與父母同住、沒有結婚打算、存款寥寥無幾、還在尋覓穩定工作，但，這樣就代表我們是人生失敗組，是社會定義的魯蛇嗎？社會加諸的包袱，讓努力了三分之一世紀的我們，總覺得自己一事無成獨立和成熟，是否可能有另一種定義？三十歲不是人生分水嶺，只是一座必經的停靠站！2016年，只有24％的男女在34歲前達成這些條件，屬於三十世代的雄心壯志，已被不安與焦慮磨蝕得單薄粉碎。
