一个人也挺好

字幕原文

I spent a whole Saturday completely alone last week, 上周六我一整天都是自己一个人过的，

and for the first time in ages, 而且好久以来头一次，

it didn't feel lonely at all. 我一点儿都没觉得孤独。

I made coffee, read for hours, 我泡了咖啡，看了几个小时的书，

went for a walk, cooked myself a proper dinner. 出去散了散步，还正儿八经给自己做了顿晚饭。

No plans, no one to answer to, just my own quiet company. 没有任何计划，不用应付任何人，就安安静静地自己陪着自己。

For a long time I confused being alone with being lonely, 很长一段时间里，我都把独自一人和孤独混为一谈，

as if empty time was something to fear or fill. 好像空下来的时间有多可怕、非得填满不可似的。

But they're not the same thing at all. 但它们根本就不是一码事。

Loneliness is missing people. 孤独是想念身边有人，

Solitude is enjoying your own company. 而独处是享受自己的陪伴。

And I've realized that learning 我也渐渐明白，学会

to be happy on your own isn't sad. 自己一个人过得开心并不是什么可悲的事，

It's a kind of freedom. 这反而是一种自由。

If I can't enjoy a quiet day with just myself, 如果我连自己安安静静待上一天都享受不了，

then I'll always need someone else around to feel okay. 那我以后就总得身边有人陪着才能感到踏实。
