I painted in secret for two years. 我偷偷画了整整两年。

Small watercolors, at night, at my desk. 就在书桌前，大半夜的，画些小水彩。

I kept them in a folder under the bed. 我都收在床底下的文件夹里。

Nobody knew. 谁都不知道。

It was safe that way. 这样挺有安全感的。

If nobody sees it, nobody can say it's bad. 没人看，就没人会说画得烂。

Last Tuesday, I finished one I actually liked. 上周二，我画完了一张自己真心喜欢的。

And I thought: I can't keep doing this alone. 然后我想：我不能老是一个人这么闷着画了。

I took a photo. 我拍了张照。

I chose one friend, the gentle one. 我挑了一个朋友，性格最温柔的那个。

I typed, "Made this. 我打字说：“我画的。

Be honest." 说实话哈。”

I deleted "be honest." 我又把“说实话”给删了。

I typed it again. 接着又打了一遍。

Send. 发送。

Then I put the phone in another room 然后我把手机扔到了另一个房间，

and washed dishes that were already clean. 跑去把本来就干净的碗又洗了一遍。

It buzzed. 手机震了一下。

"WAIT. “等等！

You MADE this? 这你画的？！

Why didn't I know you could do this?" 我怎么不知道你还会这个啊？！”

I read it standing in the kitchen with wet hands. 我就站在厨房里，手还是湿的，读着这条消息。

A thing isn't quite finished until someone has seen it. 一件作品只有被人看到了，才算真正完成。

Now I know what the folder was missing. 我现在终于知道那个文件夹里少的是什么了。
