最近的廢話很多

事情在改變, 正在

兩年轉瞬眼間會過去

運球轉身切入的剎那並不是永恆

伴著喘氣的笑靨終將成為回憶, 任它去封存, 去陳香

數十年後夜深人靜時拾起品嚐這段共同記憶

因為不捨, 才會想把握好每一個相處的時刻

我想

我會很懷念這段在杜客的日子

雖然對於自己不夠盡力感到慚愧

但是遇見了許多朋友 值得珍惜的朋友 應該感到欣慰


25歲的自己還有許多需要成長進步的空間

發現原來成熟永遠都存在於未來

暗自嘲笑那些用鄙視眼光嘲笑的人們

你也一樣幼稚

何不跟著感覺走就對了

找到屬於自己的方向 用自己的道理走自己的道路

心情對了就停下腳步 看看四周 看看自己踏過的足跡

你會發現 未來終究會是燦爛

是你自己的人生

Unlimited Self

If you think, this is what I can do right now,

well, then you are setting a invisible limit to yourself, and you will always be limited by your own imagined limit.

Positive, active thinking is the only way.

Not to think of what I can't do, but to explore what I can do.

Never, ever give up.

Between Bostock and Perkins

Great soothing music

Great inspiring light and sunshine

Great cozy temperature and atmosphere

And the remaining vague smile and smell in the air

At this very moment,

" I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams" - Hamlet

Gemini

在天使笑靨的背面是惡魔

另一個擺脫不掉的我

痛苦的祈求以一切換取原來的自我

在得到救贖的瞬間

發現潔白的羽翼下也盡是腐爛的軀殼

近況

似乎才剛開始了在Nicholas School的第三個學期

轉眼間學期也又過了一半 準備進入Fall Break

認識了很多新的朋友Andy, Yi, Meng

接受了許多挑戰 應付課業作業 銜接NI的工作 被Advisor追殺的MasterProject

慢慢適應了 習慣了 漸漸喜歡上了這邊 校園生活

慢慢建立起了自信心

慢慢有了歸屬感 有了待下來努力的理由



一年前的我也猜不到現在的自己會變成怎樣 似乎總是隨波逐流缺少屬於自己的想法

但在這邊的環境 真的讓我認識到很多值得學習傚法的人

見賢思齊 真的有這種讓人打從心裡佩服的人

受到的激勵與鼓勵 好想變得更好 更積極 更成功

我感覺到自己的成長

在各方面

我很感激

還要再努力

現實總是殘酷

你知道嗎?

每次想到這都想一頭往夢裡哉

但是夢總有醒來的一刻 (只有一種情況例外)

起床了

開始呼吸

日子還是得過

還要朝著眼前的目標前進 還有許多問題要處理

微笑吧! 孩子~

就如同事情總沒有想像的那麼好

也不會有想像的那麼糟

人生就這樣走一回 何不瀟灑自在的邁進 哼著歌

就不過這960個月

深呼吸

至少你還自由

未來還是無限寬廣

The empty hole in my heart

Sometimes I feel like I am actively searching for something and being positive;

sometimes I just leave all the things aside, pretending nothing happened, and let the time passing like flying.

Always, I realize there is something I don't have, my deficiencies.

Always, the time I reach my goal, so does the passion fades away.

I got confused. Why I cannot even know myself? What's wrong with me? Why I cannot be consistent.

......................................

Long to be home for the past few months. By this time, I am not sure I really want to go back home, or this is just a way to pacify my unease heart.

Is there really a so called home? or all of my anticipation simply comes from and distorts by my naive imagination.

Is there really a life goal? or we are simply an biological individuals, waiting for the day to decease. Ha... I kinda like this idea.

The more I know about the world, the stupider I feel I am. Why everything can get so complicate and there's no simple way out? Well, it's a good time to confess that you're a idiot. Good Idea. Good night... Good morning

Suddenly, the world needs me

I can feel it

Francesca's

This is my second time in visiting coffee shop. Francesca's Desert is like the coffee shop I familiar with in Taiwan. Internet (power outlet of course), coffee, and cozy environment are the three essential components for this kind of shops, and Francesca's meet all these requirements. It locates on the 9th street, the most popular site except down town I would say. Here, you can rarely see a house higher than two floors. The atmosphere is relax and agreeable with good painting decorations.

Anyway, I kind of like this place. Hope this place will be "the place" for me to work, study, and enjoy the warmth of weekend sunshine.

Alas, this place (I mean Durham) is too small and few pictures can be found on internet. I'll take some pictures of this lovely place next time.

心情算是有好一點了, thanks to the power of music

被時間追趕的日子,連它怎麼溜走的不知道

赫然發現自己看事情的角度還是有限

心胸格局依舊狹隘

信心尚未都沒建立

不設限未來的我會在哪逐夢

只願朝著自己所謂的真理邁進

哪些美與感動,才有追求的意義

Close

Again, I am so close to what I want myself to achieve.

Again, I fail to do so.

Sit. Think.

I feel like losing the ability of thinking. Not enough of caffeine?

And I found that without drink a cup of coffee in the morning, that day is basically a waste.

This semester I have different schedule, so basically I am all along in most of the classes.

First time, I realize there is no friend and how I crave for one, just one.

Looking on the bright side, it is a great opportunity for me to really know some friends. Only if I can take off my pride and join the crowd, and talk.

How I want to join these people, discussing the issues we care. Hope I am not going to sit here all by myself, again, and again.

盡頭

好像慢慢浮現了,掐指一算,似乎也該到了這個時候

從來都沒搞清楚自己要什麼,順從自己腦中恣意的揮舞青春

心飛了,或不飛,抑或想飛了

動靜拿捏不定,曾經的自信滿溢如今也蕩然無存

舞劍飲酒,穿梭到另外一扇時空的門

帶不走的,還是要留下
