抱抱 那個我 / Hugging the Inner Me
2022 / 水彩 watercolor
從什麼時候開始，我們學會了獨立？
拋下過去悲傷的自己，收起曾經流過的眼淚。
我以為重新開始能讓自己成為別人眼中最好的模樣，
但在心底深處，那個渴望被理解的自己，卻始終未曾離開。
原來，那些令人困惑的情緒，都是來自內心的呼喊。
無論是別人看見的，還是沒看見的我，
都值得被愛，被接納。坐上時光機，回到自己身邊，
抱抱自己，呵護他，安慰他，守護他。
學會與自己和解，並欣然接受當時的不完美。
When did we learn to be independent?
Leaving behind the sorrowful past and tucking away the tears we once shed.
I thought a fresh start could make me the best version of myself in others’ eyes.
But deep down, the part of me yearning to be understood never truly left.
It turns out, those confusing emotions are cries from within.
Whether known or unknown to others, I am always worthy of love and acceptance.Take a ride on a time machine and return to yourself. Hug that inner self, care for them, protect them, and comfort them.
Reconcile with who you are and embrace the imperfections of that moment.
