Grown-up

成長

吳星瑩

曾經,我們以為可以長成任何喜歡的樣子,卻慢慢被世界修剪成他們喜歡的樣子。
為了被喜歡,我們努力長成了,不像自己的樣子。

~《內在森林》種子方舟植物誌~

我是支持的根莖,我是孕育的花葉,而我終將是果實。
當我持續想像,也接受我的每一個瞬間,當我長成,我的樣子。

做自己,好像最簡單,但對我卻最艱難。

如果我已經將自己活成了一座迷宮,我該如何,才能找到自己?

如果我已經如此陌生著,紛紛疊疊,不停背對的我,我該如何,才能認出自己?

如果我喜歡的,只是想讓你們喜歡我,只是我不敢說我不喜歡。

如果我不喜歡的,其實只是最不敢喜歡的,其實是我最喜歡的。

一直迷路的我,或許從來都只是,不敢停下來。

勇敢長成自己喜歡的樣子,追求心中一直不敢追求的。

勇敢長成自己不喜歡的樣子,接受心內一直不敢接受的。

直到我終於回返,一切發生之前的自己。

然後終於到達了,走過一切之後的自己。

It is easiest to be myself, yet hardest by myself.

If I've already lost me in the maze of relationships, how can I untie myself tangled with others to be found by me?

If I've already looked like a stranger in my eyes, how can I recognize myself precisely even back to back?

If I just dared not dislike anything so as to make all of you like me?

If I just dared not make all of me like everything you probably dislike?

Busying myself in anything but me, I keep growing, daring not to stop.

Just stop to grow up as I like, even unlike any of you.

Just stop to grow up as I dare not like, even unlike me at all.

Thus I can find myself with everything stably unchanged.

Thus I can find myself smoothly changed with everything.
