已经在外漂了十年,偶尔想要停下来,却还是没有找到歇脚的地方…十年前的朋友芸曾说:Ella,你是一只没有脚的鸟,会需要一直飞一直飞不停留…十年前听这些,觉得多凄美呀,就算有点悲壮,就为了那个‘美’字,也值了。再也想不到,十年后,当我还在不停飞的时候,最渴望的就是有一个地方可以让我落落脚,靠一靠…昨晚去了一个新的夜间班,同事介绍的,叫‘schoolfor[

出国以前的自己,自以为是吃得苦中苦的,可是基本上周边人的评语就是:你这个糖罐里泡大的丫头。听这样的评价一只听到27岁出国,虽然觉得说话的人拼命用温暖的笑容掩盖话中的贬义,可是谁叫我田里的东西就只认识有腿的呢,其他土里冒出的、树上摘下来的,都一概只认识放在盘子里端上桌的样子。当年读大学,八人一个宿舍,因为我的这点无知,被狠狠地嘲笑过。痛[
