绘◎也圆

If I were young woman now I'm not sure I want to cope①.

With all the things you have; the opportunities, the technology. I'd like to think it could be a world of pleasure. But I fear instead it would only be a world of pressure.

If I had my time again, I wouldn't create a"to do" list, I 'd created "to don't do" list.

What I wouldn't give to extend those goodnight kisses instead of moaning②about having to get up early in the morning.

What I wouldn't give for 5 more minutes on the dance floor while my legs were still strong enough to carry me.

There's the most important word, being.

Being lost in the moment.

Being at peace with the world.

Believe me, if I were a young woman now,I'd spend more time being, not doing.

如果我现在是一个年轻的女孩子，我大概不知该如何应对。

看看你们现在拥有的那些东西，那些机遇和高科技。我会想，这大概是一个快乐的世界吧。但是我担心，相反地，这只是一个充满压力的世界。

如果我能回到过去，我不会列一个“要做的事情”清单，我会列一个“不要做的事情”清单。

我愿不惜一切换来更漫长的午夜吻别，而不是抱怨着明天要早起。

我会不惜一切在舞池中多待5分钟，那时我的双脚还能强有力地站立。

最重要的那个词就是：存在。

存在，并沉浸于那一刻。

存在，并与世界和平相处。

相信我，如果我现在是一个年轻的女孩子，我会用更多的时间去“存在”，而不是“做”。
