最近驚覺好久沒有和家人講話
早餐有iPad mini, 午餐有電腦,晚餐有電視,睡前有手機
幸好,身心具疲的加班也讓回到家人的懷抱
媽媽很貼心的開車來接我
一上車能夠吐吐苦水,跟著車上的音樂哼哼唱唱
好想念這種母女談心的感覺
幸好,一頓姊姊招待的晚餐讓我可以好好的和爸爸聊天
說一說我對人生的疑問
聽一聽爸爸的人生經驗
一場充滿對話的晚餐勝過一桌滿漢全席
謝謝你們在我身邊
至於人生的疑問
雖然沒有得到解答
但是我知是誰掌管明天就夠了
I sometimes feel like I'm looking down on myself,like there's this older, wiser me watching over this who's full of all this potential but has to live moreto catch up with that other self somehow.And...I know I'll get there.成長的路上
It's the only time you get to do this, you know?
You get to sit around and read books all day,
have really great conversations about ideas.
People out in the world, they're not really doing that.
Think about it.
You could go up to everyone here and say, "I'm a poet",
and no one will punch you in the face.
I mean, that's something.
Well, on behalf of all current and former 18- to 22-year-olds,
I'd like to apologize.
Forgive us.
Seriously. We know not what we do.
I think one of the things I loved the most about being here was the feeling that anything was possible.
It's just infinite choices ahead of you.
You'd get out of school,
and anything could happen.
And then you do get out, and...
life happens, you know?
Decisions get made.
And then all those many choices you had in front of you are no longer really there.
At a certain point, you just got to go,
"Oh, I guess this is how it's going down".
And there's just something a little depressing about that.
Well, don't you think you're romanticizing youth a bit much?
You know, 'cause it's just as hard and annoying
to be young as it is to be old, I'm assuming.
Not that you're old, 'cause,
you know, you're not.
Look, I get the whole "we're all equal" argument,
and it's kind of true, but it's also kind of not true.
Like, okay, I feel different now than I felt when I was here, and I hate to break this to you, but so will you.
Best book of all time?Well, one of them, sure.Have you ever noticed how everyone around herespeaks in wild hyperbole?Everything's the best.Like, "He's the best professor ever",or, "This is the best patty melt on the planet",as if they've sampled every possible varietyof professor and patty melt,which is, as we know, logistically impossible.
How can you hate something if you've never read it?I mean, isn't that like what repressive regimes do?我很欣賞Jesse 接受Zibby戰帖的橋段
he said the purpose of fictionwas to combat loneliness.
When spending most of yourtime with an 1,100-page booktends to put a dent in your social life.Yeah.Loneliness simultaneously increased and decreased.
Listen, don't be a genius who dies young.Be one who dies old.
Being old is cool.
Grow old and die old.
It's a better arc.
Listen to me, man.This right now, all this stuff you're feeling,
this is a footnote, okay?
You're gonna graduate,
and you're gonna get out in the world
and stumble into something like contentment.
I know it.
Is that how it's been for you?
Hell, no.
But some days are all right, you know?
Some days are like a gift,
and some days suck.
But all of that's okay.
How everything in life isbasically improvised?There's no script.We're just making this up as we go.
