Dear Anyone Having a Bad Week, 亲爱的度过糟糕一周的你: I'm sorry. I have no idea why your week is bad, or how bad it actually is. I don't know if you've told anyone, if there's anything that could fix it or if it's made you rather unpleasant to be around. But I do know that I'm sorry that you're hurting, or stressed, or exhausted, or grieving, or frustrated, or depressed, or lonely, or scared or lost. 我很抱歉,我无从知晓你的这一周为何很糟糕,也不知道实际情况到底有多糟。不知道你是否有找人倾诉,是否有什么方式可以让你好受一些或者说现实是否让你更加难过。但是我清楚地知道我为你一切不好的情绪感到深深的同情,无论是你受到伤害或者感到压力,亦或是感到疲惫、悲伤、筋疲力尽、沮丧、孤独、害怕还是迷失。 I thought about writing this letter in a couple of different ways. I thought about writing it about the things you could do to feel better: show yourself compassion, go outside and look at the trees, look at a baby photo of yourself. Or I thought about focusing the letter on how the "bad weeks" can actually be pretty beautiful, if you look at them the right way. I almost wrote those letters, and maybe at some point I will, but I think I ended up deciding that I wasn't writing to make anyone feel better -- I just want you to feel heard. |
