三天没更新了。一部分原因是仍有的拖延,一部分是这几天的确是忙坏。本来今天中午也没打算更新,但刚才听了一首歌,让我决定先说点什么。
关于“爱自己”。我想说的是,流行歌曲中有不少热烈深情的表白话语,很多时候我们也会听得自己煞是感动。感动完了,再去回想一下自己和这些年的岁月,一面有些庆幸自己开始懂得保护自己,不至于因用情太深而苦;另一面也不免唏嘘感叹,年轻时候的热烈深情是多么可贵,而那种毫无保留义无反顾的感觉,又是多么让人怀念。
这些还不是我最想说的。我最想说的是,如果说,爱他人,总是会让人陷入这种两难境地,那么爱自己呢?你有没有试过把这些歌词中的“你”都换成“我”,换成自己?如果所有这些温暖和力量,都真正地温暖了自己,又会是什么样的情况?
就像对着另一个自己,童年的自己,少年的自己,现在的自己,将来的自己,用心表白。自言自语,那些所有被爱的“你”,都变成你自己。
我自己刚才试了一下,这首让我感动不已的歌曲,是Sarah Connor的《Living to love you》:
All we had was just one summer,
two lovers strolling in the park,
but like they say, the world keeps turning,
as the leaves were falling,
we should fall apart.Now im waiting for the winter,
to build my castle out of ice,
and deep inside is massive building,
there’s a crystal lake,
of all the tears i’ve cried.Baby for all my life,
don’t you know that it’s true,
I’m living to love you,
so Baby don’t think twice,
if you feel what I feel,
trust your heart and do what I do,
’cause I’m living to love you,
I’m living to love you.When you’re gone it’s not forever,
’cause you’re remaining in my heart,
so tell me why i feel this aching,
every time I think of you,
when we’re apart.Baby for all my life,
don’t you know that it’s true,
I’m living to love you,
so Baby don’t think twice,
if you feel what I feel,
trust your heart and do what I do,
I’m living to love you, yes.I admit that from time to time,
I’m feeling insecure and think I’m gonna lose my mind,
don’t let it show, no, oh no no no noo no!
I don’t think I’ll ever understand,
that our love should never have a happy end,
so I’m really gonna try my best,
to let you know… (to let you know, whoooa…)Baby for all my life,
don’t you know that it’s true (I’ve been knowing it’s true),
I’m living to love you (I’ve been living to love you),
so Baby don’t think twice,
if you feel what I feel,
trust your heart, do what I do.When the final day comes,
I know the angels, they will see my smile,
and if they wanna know the reason,
I will tell them why…Baby for all my life, ooh yes,
I’m living to love you.
这样做,乍看或许显得有点自恋。但在我看来,很多拖延者,还就是缺少这么一种“自恋”。很多人对自己太不好。
