B10:39
I used to measure myself against everyone I saw.
我以前总是跟见到的每个人比较自己。
Their wins felt like my losses.
他们的成功就像我的失败。
This habit ate my joy one bite at a time.
这个习惯一口一口地吃掉了我的快乐。
Then one evening I sat on my balcony alone.
然后有天晚上我独自坐在阳台上。
I watched the sky turn pink and purple.
我看着天空变成粉色和紫色。
The sunset did not compare to any other sunset.
那片日落没有跟别的日落比较。
It was just itself, and that was enough.
它只是它自己,那就足够了。
A thought came to me: I can be like that too.
我想到:我也可以那样。
I do not need to be better than someone else.
我不需要比别人更好。
I only need to be true to my own path.
我只需要对自己的路真诚。
That night I let go of a heavy weight.
那一晚我放下了沉重的包袱。
I started to see my own small beauties clearly.
我开始清楚地看到自己微小的美好。
