A Summer in Berlin

『一寸光陰,一寸金,寸金難買寸光陰』

這句話是我阿嬤家樓下的素食早餐店老闆娘教我的。以前每年暑假回台灣的時候,他都會跟我說這句,而且也都會叫我不管我做什麼事,都應該珍惜和把握每一刻,因為時間是不能轉回去的。它一去不復返。

長大了之後才真正地懂這句的意思。

我們有時候最期待地是未來,而同時我們就會忘記眼前的美好。

這些照片是我七月底剛搬來柏林的時後跟我好朋友閔元拍的。我覺得我當時都只顧著想未來的事,沒有真正地享受當下的悠閒和暢快。而現在進入了大學日常了。時間比較不充足了,需要負擔的責任也變了比較多。
負責任不是不好,反而該認真的時候就是要認真,但是在玩的時後也還是要好好地珍惜在玩的時光。

I remember when I was little the owner of the breakfast shop downstairs my grandma's flat would always tell me to treasure and value our precious time, as no money in the world can ever turn it back.

It was only until I became an adolescent that I actually understood what she was telling me. We often focus on our future plans or simply on things we do not have because we consider them as more joyful.  Therefore, we neglect the here and now - in many cases even the piece of happiness that is right in front of our eyes. The following remorse of "not living the moment" , which lingers just around the corner, is of corse too late then.

I feel like it's not always easy to focus on the now, but if we do success and treasure the moment, life is much more uncomplicated and satisfying, no matter if one is traveling (like me here in the photos) or studying (which I am trying to get into lately....). 




好久沒有跟大家分享我最近很喜歡的音樂了,於是我準備了一個播放清單。
我承認,它的名字其實不太適合現在的季節,但柏林的冬天十月初就降臨了,而且今天又是冬至所以日照時即將要變長了。再撐個三個月幾週春天也就來了!

Below, you can also find a new playlist I created, as there wasn't any for what felt like ages. 
I hope  you will be enjoying it as much as I do (and await spring as much as I do as well....)!
