给自己买花

字幕原文

I bought myself flowers last week, and it felt surprisingly good. 上周我给自己买了束花，感觉意外地好。

For a long time I thought flowers 很长一段时间里我都觉得，花

were something you only got as a gift, 只能是别人送的礼物，

something you waited for someone else to give you. 得等别人送给你才行。

But I was at the market, 不过那天我正在逛市集，

I saw a bunch I liked, and I thought, why not. 看到一束挺喜欢的，心想：为什么不呢？

They cost about six dollars. 其实也就花了大概六块钱。

They sat on my kitchen table all week, 那一整周花都摆在我的厨房餐桌上，

and every time I walked past them, they made me smile. 每次走过看到它们，我都会忍不住微笑。

It made me realize how often I wait for other 这让我意识到，很多时候我总在等别

people to do the nice small things for me. 人来为我做这些贴心的小事。

But I don't have to wait. 但我其实根本不用等。

I can be the person who does that for myself. 我自己就能成为那个为自己做这些事的人。

It's not sad, and it's not lonely. 这并不心酸，也不孤单。

It's just kind. 这只是一种温柔。

A six-dollar bunch of flowers taught me 一束六块钱的花让我明白，

I'm allowed to be on my own list too. 我也完全可以把自己放在心上。
