homesickness / 想家

周末和家人朋友聊了天，不過想家的心情因此被掀了開來，我想到之前同學茹絲在臉書上寫的一句話，前幾天下了雨，她說落雨讓她看到家鄉格拉斯哥，今天我想家的情緒像雨般下起來。

I skyped with my family and friend this weekend, but my homesickness was thus uncovered. I recalled some remarks by my classmate Ruth on FB. It rained a few days ago, but it relieved her of her homesickness because it pished like that in her hometown Glasgow. Today my homesickness rained down on me. 

「把那樣的心情畫下來吧！」早上起床之後我開始想家系列的明信片，畢竟在我長長的一輩子裡，我難得有這樣的感觸，要好好利用才行。

"Why don't you draw it?" After I got up this morning, I started my homesickness series of postcards. After all, in my long life, I hardly feel this. I should make very positive use of my emotion. 

收到這張明信片的人，到時候很多星星會被旁邊的鉛筆痕跡抹黑，那時還亮著的就真的屬於你。

By the time this postcard is received by the person for whom it is meant for, many stars will be smudged by the pencil drawing around them. Those stars that still remain bright are yours then. 

我們來玩個遊戲，看你會不會收到你想要的那張明信片。如果我遺忘了你，請和我說。

Let's play a game to see if you will receive the postcard you like. If I accidentally forget you, please let me know. 

下午和同學開了下午茶派對，可是我很怕派對結束之後一個人的感覺，還好我為嘉蕊煮了晚餐。她回房間做功課，我就在下雨的夜晚繼續畫圖，想家也是種很幸福的事，代表在這世界上我屬於我愛的人和愛我的人‧‧‧

I had a nice afternoon party with my classmates in the afternoon, but I am very afraid of being left all alone after the party. Luckily, I had Jazel to cook dinner for. After she went back to her room to continue her assignment, I resumed drawing on a rainy evening. It's nice to feel homesick because it means in this vast world I belong to those whom I love and who love me...
