又,想家,想着未来

今天,我又想家了。
想起在家里的日子,想着未来有多少日子会不在家,
想念没有半点犹豫的时光。

我在这里的日子没有不开心,
我遇见了生命中重要的他,
我遇见了我的未来,
但慢慢的,
我也觉得我好想念属于我的那个地方,
那个家。

我担心失去原来的我,
我抗拒放弃真正的自己。
他没有要求我为他改变,
但是事实摆在眼前,
这段感情,不,应该说,
每一段感情,
都需要付出。

这个远距离爱情,
这个属于我的未来,
怎么离家那么远啊?

PSY 571: Advice

At some point in life, you needed it.
The different perspective, the input, the suggestion, the advice.
To guide you, lead you, and possibly take you to where you need to go.
It was helpful, useful, and it was exactly what you needed.
It was the light at the end of the tunnel, the message from a higher power, the solution to all your problems.
It was given and you received it, you took it and made it work for you.
This is the good advice.

At some point in life, you rejected it.
It was foolish, biased, and it wasn’t what you needed, or more accurately, it wasn’t what you wanted.
It wasn’t helping the situation, and you didn’t need to hear it.
What’s more, you did not ask for it.
You heard it, but you left it as it was.
This is the ignored advice.

At some point in life, you took it.
The advice that seemed to brighten up your journey, the one that put on a façade of goodness.
You thought you found the way, the perfect answer to your situation.
 You trusted the one who gave you this little piece of “knowledge”, you thought nothing could go wrong.
You were weak, and lost, and it seemed like the perfect thing to do.
It’s too late now, you look back and you realize that really wasn’t what you intended to do.
You took it, but you regretted it.
This is the bad advice.

At some point in life, you realize the best advice comes from knowing what you really want.
The best advice comes in the form of genuine care and concern and an understanding of you, your needs, and your wants.
The best advice comes from the one that possesses no hidden agenda.
The best advice comes from you.
