[90後] 一年以後 After One Year
這篇會混著中英文來寫,多少因為那一年的經驗,腦袋裡混合著好些模式,適時地會出來切換,找到平衡。
This post will be written in both Chinese and English, the experience of that year has made me keep shifting the mode when it's needed.
還記得剛回來的時候,寫下「一個旅途的結束是另一個旅途的開始,總結的產生,有時只是下個部分的序言。」
回來台灣也剛好滿一年。
"The end of the journey is the start of another one," still remember this sentence I wrote down at that time. And it has been exactly one year since I left India and these and those teammate, flatmate, friends.
當時身邊的人們,都開始自己下個人生階段,在這世上的某些角落,甚至是化作精神長存。
Realizing some of you've started the next stage of your life in new countries, on your own mother land, Ghana, Egypt, Brazil, Kenya, Belgium, Philippine, Kuwait, UK, still India, and even heaven.
Every time reflecting how this journey has changed me, it's always awesome, smile and tear.
Yap, I know there's no more Indian accent and grammar in my English, but, it has been part of the fire which always on my heart, no matter how far you guys are.
四個月前曾在某次睡前寫下長長的回顧,寫下心頭的火,至今它仍在。
I wrote down these sentence above 4 months ago, and the fire is still on my heart, still.
其實這一年的時間,順了順走過的遇到的事情們,不論好玩的討厭的無法忘懷的,都是不會再改變的。
Have spent around a year to reflect on those experience, no matter it's fun, awful, or unforgettable, it won't be changed anymore.
Actually, there're some ppl would ask me, why you choose to stay in India for one year? How do you feel about that? What've you done there? If it's dangerous? If it's worthy? All those questions sound like reminders which trigger self-reflection, despite the fact that concrete answer never exists in your journey, you're always on the way to it, and maybe not.
直到今天,我都還記得當時一個人出差,深夜在人擠人的大馬路上等巴士要前往另一個城市參加婚禮,也還記得跨年的瘋狂,滿滿人潮的海灘,滿是酒精與差不多被忘記的願望們,但仍是搭乘巴士獨自去回。
直到今天,我仍記得需要計算許多時差的辦公室生活,不同區域和國家的信件來往,透過信件或電話追蹤議題與任務,每天往來互動的夥伴可能只見過一兩次面(遠距工作的經驗對我來說真的很酷)。有時看到他們更新自己的近況與選擇,還是會為他們感到高興,雖然多數時間是旅行、度假、飲酒作樂這類的,哈哈哈。
Until today, I still remember that night I was waiting for the bus from Chennai to Coimbatoir during midnight alone, right after the branch visit and left the office before the timing which would be blocked for the female safety policy. Also, remember the trip during new year, come and left alone by bus, there're much more crowded than expected on almost every beaches in Goa. The alcohol is mixed with the wishes which probably be forgotten but still, it's gorgeous.
Until this day, I still remember the office time with so many time zone counting, the mail to different region and countries, you track almost everything via mails and phone call, you probably meet your teammate only once or twice during internship but work with they on a daily basis. (That's still really cool for me.) Sometimes you feel joyful to see their update about life, and choice (though most of time what you've received are: vacation, travel, alcohol, and yoooooo, I don't know.) They've been kinda energizer for part of your life. Yes, exactly.
Still, I wanna show my gratitude to every of you I've meet during that year, no matter how many chitchat, deep talk we've shared, not matter how many crazy and funny staff we've been through together, how many trouble and non-senses thing I've brought to you.
Again, sincerely hug from Taiwan and let's meet up somewhere soon.
發現要有些結構地分享到底經歷過什麼,改變了什麼,還是滿有難度的。
有些話語只有一起經歷過的人才能理解,於是,就把他交給時間吧。
日子久了,越是記憶鮮明的事物,就越是閃閃發亮。
