Thoughts

想哭就哭，想笑就笑。当悲伤越是压抑的时候，越要懂得释放自己。难怪当年那首《男人哭吧哭吧不是罪》那么红，一定是唱出了很多男士的心声。

回想起来我最刻骨铭心的一段经历是一次背叛的失恋，当我确认我被一个自己付出所有心思的人欺骗的时候，整个世界都崩塌了。似乎每天除了沉浸在悲伤里，就只剩哭泣了。所以那时候的我最喜欢的就是睡觉，因为这样就可以逃避到另一个不被悲伤侵蚀的世界里。可是有时候我却还是会在梦里哭着醒来。

当时的我总是想我哪里做错了，你要这样对我？以为世界真的从此变得暗淡，以为再也不会有日出。这不是就那三个阻挡我们走出黑暗的3P么（Personalization, Pervasiveness,Permanence）

也不知道是什么时候开始眼泪渐渐被擦干，世界也开始变得明亮了起来。（现在回想应该不超过半个月吧）所以我有strong resilience。

还是那句话：时间是治愈伤口最好的良药。当然，你也要敞开胸怀让时间来治愈你。
