写下来

字幕原文

When my head gets too full and tangled, 当我脑子太乱、装了太多东西的时候，

I've found one thing that reliably helps. 我发现有一个办法特别管用。

I write it all down. 就是把它们全都写下来。

Not neatly, not for anyone to read. 不用写得工工整整，也不是给别人看的。

I just grab a piece of paper and pour out every worry, 我只是随手抓张纸，把所有的烦心事都倒出来，

every half-formed thought, everything spinning around in there. 不管是没成型的念头，还是脑子里打转的一切。

And something strange happens. 接着奇妙的事情就发生了。

The moment a worry is out of my head 烦恼一旦离开我的大脑，

and sitting there in plain words, 变成清清楚楚的字句摆在眼前，

it almost always looks smaller. 它几乎总会显得小得多。

Less scary. 也没那么吓人了。

Sometimes I even see the answer, 有时候我甚至能直接看到答案，

which was hidden the whole time under all the noise. 它其实一直都藏在那些乱糟糟的杂音底下。

It turns out my mind is a terrible place to store problems. 事实证明，脑子真不是个存问题的好地方。

It just spins them in circles. 它只会让那些念头没完没了地打转。

Paper holds them still, so I can actually look at them. 而纸能让它们定住，好让我能真正看清它们。

A tangled thought and a written one are two very different sizes. 纠结在脑子里的念头，和写在纸上的，大小完全不是一回事。
