一人生活

在英國,經常要過着一個人的日子:一個人上課、行街、購物、看書。我是一個很喜歡自閉的人,話不多,好動的人跟我一起都會覺得悶。我這個從不怕悶的人,近日也真的覺得很悶,原因可能是剛獨自從蘇格蘭旅行回來吧。

拿着背包上路,是一件很孤獨的事。看到最美麗的風景、有趣的事物,卻沒有人可以分享。路過一家精緻的餐廳,很想走進去吃一頓美味佳餚,但一個人又有什麼意思?旅途中遇上小情侶和一家大細,心中羨慕不已,回望自己孤身走我路,一陣難陷。

10年前我在澳洲生活時,認識了很多好朋友,今天他們仍是我人生中的知己。10年後的今天,人大了不再活躍,認識三兩個談得來的已是bonus。唯有安慰自己:「懂得跟別人相處,不是先要學懂獨處的藝術嗎?」

人生餘下的日子,我可能也要一個人走,現在,就當是一個開始,讓自己慢慢習慣。

PS: 一個人靜下來,想通了很多事情。原來一人生活,比起要跟一個夾不來的人走在一起,更自在、更舒服。要令自己alone but not lonely,我想到一些方法,下回再談。

I'm truely impressed by the words "alone but not lonely" ...what a beautiful phrase and seemingly so stylish! from time to time, i would also value some alone time....reading novels, boiling dvds....yet i never feel lonely...but feeling serene and comfortable too as i believe everyone needs time to be on its own..doing reflection or at least let the mind rest (except from sleeping).....so i enjoy that too..yet how to be alone but not lonely if this is talking about a much longer time? i would value companionship....be it friends or partner.....it's always good to hear from others saying "you are not alone!" simple sentence yet have great power.....so my dear M, You are never alone!! luv you and support you forever!!! be optimistic!!! i admire you having very right values and determination to live a life you like, which i also wanna learn from you :):)....guess sometimes is not bad to learn from my optimism..though sometimes it may turn into naivity....yet after entering into the adulthood..i always believe remaining a kid's heart to a certain extent will be able to cheer yourself up from time to time....i.e. what some pple call "live the moment"...stay optimistic!!!
