生命的本質也許讓人感到困惑,但也別忘了生活依然掌握在你手中,要活得快樂與否、為了哪些人事物而活往往都是我們自己的選擇,網站Bright Side分享了一篇由Zali Zelveger寫下的詩作,溫暖的文字提醒我們活著的美好,送給所有需要一些力量去相信生活的你,希望你也能為了美好的小事而活得很幸福。
曾有人這麼對我說:你應該為美好的小事而活。
為清晨5點的日出、傍晚5點的日落而活;
為公路旅行而活;
為騎著單車時耳邊輕快的樂聲與輕撫髮絲的微風而活;
為傾盆大雨依舊在街上跳舞跳得忘我、為大笑到眼淚都流下來而活;
為你最喜愛的歌曲與書、為沒來由的微笑而活;
為觸動心靈的長談、為一杯配著餅乾享受的茶而活;
為長期疲憊過後的放鬆、為某人眼裡閃爍的光芒而活;
為夜晚的小冒險、為替我們指引回家方向的星星而活;
為那些記得你喝茶習慣、又有多討厭洋蔥的人而活;
為第一次的親吻和不願停下來的散步、為了擁抱、為了遇見新的人而活;
為意料之外的禮物、為經過漫長等待才聽見的一句「好」而活;
為那些讓你感到真切活著的美好小事而活。

Someone once said to me: you should live for the little things.
Live for the sunrise at 5 a. m. and the sunset at 5 p. m.,
live for the road trips,
for bike rides with music in your ears and wind in your hair,
live for dancing in the rain, live for laughing till you cry,
live for your favorite songs and good books, for smiling for no reason,
for long talks, for tea with cookies,
for resting after endless tiring days, for the glint in someone’s eye.
Live for the night adventures and for the stars that guide you home.
Live for the people who remember how you take your tea, and that you hate onions.
Live for your first kiss and long promenades, for hugs, and for meeting new people,
for unexpected gifts, and the long-awaited ’yes’.
Live for those little things that make you feel alive.
