断断续续花了两年时间(其间各种狗血,省略一万字),准备考试,申请。终于拿到还
不错的offer。然后为了签证,身份,又折腾了一个暑假(又是各种狗血,省略五千字
)。
终于,告别阳光明媚的加州,告别所爱的人,飞了10个小时(两次转机),来到这里。
一周之后的现在,我做出了一个让我自己都很鄙视的决定:我要回加州了。
我知道任何理由都无法减轻我对自己的鄙视。
只是觉得在终于做了这个决定后,慢慢有胃口能吃下东西了,晚上能睡着了,想跟父母
聊天了,看到微博上的段子能笑出声了。
在这一周的某个时候,觉得自己难受得快要死掉时,感谢我的advisor发现了我,并跟
我谈心。还送我去了counseling center。
感谢我的counselor,在我极端矛盾和犹豫中,说了很多让我豁然开朗的话。
事情经过就不再累述了,写出来也是拿给人做鄙视材料的。
摘录一些advisor和counselor跟我说的话,权当自我安慰吧。或者如果正好你看到也有
共鸣的话。
当然,请尽情鄙视我。
We make choices. We decide to do things, and we also decide not to do things.
You don't have to go through this all by yourself.
If you cannot find yourself happy and in peace, then don't do it.
Can you imagine a happier life here in the future? Can you imagine a happier
one when you go back?
When you turn 80 and look back, you won't see any difference whether you get
your degree in your 27 or 28.
Small decisions may be made by rational analysis. Big decisions in life,
however, are usually made by emotion. It's human nature. It's a great nature.
You cannot make a decision with 100% sure. You cannot go back to live
another life either. What you can is, make a decision, and go for it. Don't
look back.
We learn as we live. Nothing is a waste of time.
收拾行李,准备回家。
下一步,安静自己,开始准备明年的申请吧。心中给自己定下了一个小小的目标(在一
个月以前可以说是宏大的理想),希望明年回头看今天这个帖子,会觉得这样的选择是
值得的吧。
不管贫困线是多少,小黑屋有多贵,豪车马力有多足。我想,有勇气活出自己的样子的
人才能感到真正的幸福吧。
