I’m 27 now. I don’t want to go. I love my life. I am happy. I owe that to my loved ones. But the control is out of my hands.

我才27歲，還不想離開這個世界。我熱愛我的生活，並且生活得無比開心。是我最親近的人們給了我這一切。然而現在，我卻不得不離他們而去。

I have dropped lots of my thoughts below as I have had a lot of time to ponder life these last few months. Of course it’s the middle of the night when these random things pop in my head most!

因為最近有很多時間思考人生，所以我把很多所想寫了下來。 現在當然是午夜時分，夜深人靜文思泉湧！

Try just enjoying and being in moments rather than capturing them through the screen of your phone. Life isn’t meant to be lived through a screen nor is it about getting the perfect photo.. enjoy the bloody moment, people! Stop trying to capture it for everyone else.

美好的時光，去享受，去置身其中，而不是沉迷手機只顧擺拍。生命的意義不是通過手機螢幕或著拍一張完美的照片來實現。生命需要身臨其境地感受。享受當下的美好時光吧各位！別總把生活拍給別人看了！

Give, give, give. It is true that you gain more happiness doing things for others than doing them for yourself. I wish I did this more.

給予，給予，給予，給予的快樂永遠比自私多！我多希望我健康的時候可以多為別人做一些。

Listen to music.. really listen. Music is therapy. Old is best. 

去聽音樂吧。用心聽。音樂是良藥，越老味越醇。 

Cuddle your dog. Far out, I will miss that.

去擁抱你的狗狗吧。我會很懷念這種感覺。

Talk to your friends. Put down your phone. Are they doing okay?

去跟朋友們聊聊。放下手機，去看看他們。他們過得怎麼樣？

Travel if it’s your desire, don’t if it’s not.

去旅行吧。心之所向，路就在腳下。心累了，世界就在家中。

Work to live, don’t live to work.

為了生活而工作，不要為了工作而生活。

Seriously, do what makes your heart feel happy.

認真地，做讓自己開心的事。

Eat the cake. Zero guilt.

大口吃蛋糕吧。不要負罪感。

Say no to things you really don’t want to do.

心裡拒絕，嘴上就拒絕。

Don’t feel pressured to do what other people might think is a fulfilling life.. you might want a mediocre life and that is so okay.

不要違背自己的心去過別人眼中的美好生活。你也許只想平平淡淡過一生，那也沒有什麼不好。

Tell your loved ones you love them every time you get the chance and love them with everything you have.

只要有機會，就去告訴你愛的人你愛他們，並用盡全力去愛他們。

Anyway, that’s just this one young gals life advice. Take it or leave it, I don’t mind!

好了，這就是一個姑娘的人生建議。採納與否，都隨意吧！

’Til we meet again.

再會了。
