Realize that you have options. There are places even here in the US where people don't have the option of being out of survival mode enough to ponder these issues. 要明白你还有选择如何生活的权利。在美国，有些地方的人们甚至还陷于如何生存下去的水深火热之中，根本没时间考虑其他问题。 If I were you, this is what I’d do: I’d pack a backpack and start traveling for up to a year. 如果我是你，我会打包行李，开始为期一年的旅行。 The beauty of traveling is that, with little effort, it will take you out of your head - new currencies, new foods, new accents and people so you HAVE to pay more attention to everyday things. 旅行的魅力在于，只需要耗费一点点精力，就会让你跳出现有的生活状态，去认识新的货币，接触新奇的食物，不同的口音和人们，于是你就会更多地去关注日常事物。 Whether abroad or in the US, I’d suggest you do some volunteer work. When you don’t know what to do for yourself, go do something for another person (or for animals, the environment, etc…). 无论你去国外还是在美国，我建议你做一些志愿者工作。当你不知道自己要做什么时，那就去为别人（或动物，环境等…）做一些事情。 Besides traveling and volunteering, something else that’s great for when you don’t give a hoot is to read. |
