I found it in a drawer, inside an old notebook. 我在抽屉里翻出来的，夹在一本旧笔记本里。

A list, in my handwriting, from when I was twenty-five. 一张清单，上面是我二十五岁时写下的字迹。

The title was underlined twice: "Things to Do Before I'm Forty." 标题下面划了两道横线：“四十岁前要做的事”。

I'm forty-one. 而我现在四十一岁了。

Some were crossed out. 有的已经被划掉了。

Learn to drive. 学会开车。

See the ocean. 去看大海。

Live in another country. 去另一个国家生活。

I'd forgotten that those were once dreams. 我都快忘了，那些曾经也是梦想。

Now they're just my life. 如今它们不过是我的日常生活罢了。

A few, I simply don't want anymore. 还有几件，我是纯粹不再想做了。

That felt strange, like reading a letter 那种感觉挺奇妙的，就像在读一封信，

addressed to someone who moved away. 收信人却是一个早就搬走的人。

But one line stopped me. 但有一行字让我停了下来。

Number seven. 第七条。

"Write a book." “写一本书。”

Not crossed out. 没有被划掉。

Sixteen years, three apartments, two countries, and it's still there. 十六年，搬过三次家，换过两个国家，它居然还在那里。

Still mine. 依然属于我。

A dream that survives that long isn't a wish. 能坚持这么久的梦想，已经不再是个愿望了。

It's an instruction. 它是一道指令。

I took a pen. 我拿起了一支笔。

I didn't cross it out. 我没有划掉它。

I drew a small star next to it. 而是在它旁边画了一颗小星星。
