Finish

放棄

吳星瑩

.

我以為堅強就夠了,就足以照顧你。
到頭來我才知道,你想看見真實的我,即使脆弱也好。

~《內在森林》相思樹植物誌~

成長是這樣的,以為將得到很多,其實必須放下更多。
即使我不願意,最終被放下的仍舊是我。

最難的功課,也許是終於學會,何時應該勉強自己再繼續付出,何時不該再勉強世界繼續接受。

因為放棄,從來不是草率地結束。

而是慎重地完成。

如果放棄,能讓我在不適合的地方,不再懷疑自己,不再忘記我擁有選擇。

如果放棄,能讓我在不適合的時刻,不要浪擲努力,不要因此不敢再相信。

那麼我帶著悲傷,坦然放棄,縱然得不到我原本期待的,然而我的確得到了什麼。

那麼我帶著喜悅,坦然放棄,明白我已嘗試過所有嘗試,唯一還沒嘗試的是休息。

不再消磨彼此,任我和世界各自完整。

直到將以更適合的方式,更適合的姿態,重新開始。

The hardest chapter of this world is to learn when to force myself to get along, and when to force myself to give up.

Especially as I haven't completed it yet.

But it should finish.

It's time to finish, for me not to abandon abundant options toward the right place.

It's time to finish, for me not to mortgage more belief owing to the wrong time.

Thus I'm finished, with sorrow but not with grief. I gain more than I expected as I don't over-expect it anymore.

Thus I'm finished, in joy but stop joining in. I've tried my best at least so I can rest at last.

Having been worn down, we should cease to be torn apart.

Let's call it an epilogue, which may turn itself into a prologue one day.
