三候至，各種方位交織成網。
曾經錯身而過的，終於都被接住。
All orientations
weave into a web.
What once
passed each other by
is finally
met.
立夏三候｜成長
做自己，好像最簡單，但對我卻最艱難。
如果我已經將自己活成了一座迷宮，我該如何，才能找到自己？
如果我已經如此陌生著，紛紛疊疊，不停背對的我，我該如何，才能認出自己？
如果我喜歡的，只是想讓你們喜歡我，只是我不敢說我不喜歡。
如果我不喜歡的，其實只是最不敢喜歡的，其實是我最喜歡的。
一直迷路的我，或許從來都只是，不敢停下來。
勇敢長成自己喜歡的樣子，追求心中一直不敢追求的。
勇敢長成自己不喜歡的樣子，接受心內一直不敢接受的。
直到我終於回返，一切發生之前的自己。
然後終於到達了，走過一切之後的自己。

— Becoming
To be myself
seems the simplest—
and yet,
the hardest.
If I have already
lived myself
into a maze,
how do I
find
my way
back?
If I have turned
away from who I am,
layered upon layered,
again and again—
how do I
recognize
myself
when I never face
me?
What if
what I like
is only
to make you
like me—
because I dare not say
what I do not like.
What if
what I dislike
is only
what I dare not
like—
but is
what I truly love.
Lost
time after time,
perhaps
I have never
been lost,
only
unwilling
to stop.
To stop—
to grow
into what I love,
and to seek
what I have long
not dared to seek.
To stop—
to grow
into what I do not love—
and to receive
what I have long
not dared to receive.
Until I return
to who I was
before
anything
began.
And finally arrive
at who I am
after
everything
has passed.
