出道不久曾經因為看見的新視物與想像中不同而氣餒,當時寫了一隻叫井底之蛙的歌.時間久了,發現井外的世界也不是起初看得的絕望.今年地方去多了,發現完來自己一直都只是由一個井跳到去另一個大一點的井.世界完來真是很大.只要一直走都有可能走到想去的地方.
有機會嘗一嘗外地朋友的生活,比看十本書有更深的體會.啟發到的不是彼此之間的不同,而是大家的相同之處.外表可以完全不同,但內心世界都大同小異.
有朋友剛起步走我十一年前的路,,希望他跳出井外的經歷比我更開心吧.
I got a bit diappointed shortly after coming out. It was not at all what I had envisioned. I wrote a song called 井底之蛙 (A frog in the well) to describe my feelings then. After some time, however, I realized that the world beyond the bottom of the well was not as bad as my first encounters. This year I got to visit more places and I found out that I’ve actually always been only hopping from one well to a bigger one. The world is actually a lot bigger. I believe if I keep going I’ll eventually get to the place I’d hoped to be.
Having a chance to stay with friends abroad is much more rewarding than reading ten books about a location and culture. What I’ve learned isn’t how different we are, but how similar instead. Appearances could be completely different, but what goes on inside is quite similar.
A friend has started a journey that I’d begun myself eleven years ago. I wish is journy out of the well is much happier than mine.
