所謂的成長,不是學會,就是懂得

許多年過去了,人們說昔日的夢想可以被遺忘,然而我終於明白這是錯的,夢想依然偶爾露頭,只是被妥協了。

Many years have passed, and people say that old dreams can be forgotten. However, I finally understand that this is wrong. Dreams still occasionally appear, but they are compromised.

成長的本質就是一場自我接受,我們明白自己的無能為力,也釋懷所有的陰差陽錯,當我們接納了不完美的自己,也就遇見了另一個完整的自己。

The essence of growth is self acceptance. We understand our powerlessness and let go of all our mistakes. When we accept our imperfect self, we meet another complete self.

我們總是喜歡付出到無能為力,操心到事無巨細,真心到毫無保留,總覺得自己做到極致,就會得到肯定,換來回報,會被疼愛珍惜。

We always like to pay until we can do nothing, worry until we can do nothing, and be sincere until we have no reservations. We always feel that if we do our best, we will be affirmed, rewarded and cherished.

可是我們將就了這個,忍讓了那個,唯獨忘了愛自己。

But we made do with this, tolerated that, and only forgot to love ourselves.
