30/NOV/20XX THU SUNNY
Dear diary,
This is the very day before I get back to Taiwan.
In other words, the last day I stayed in England.
I sold my car, refunded the flat, picked all stuff up,
and said good-bye to people here.
Friends told me to stay here to get my Master degree,
and I’ve thought about it a thousand times before.
However, I decide to end it up right here.
I’d rather go home, my real home,
and reach for my future with my own hands.
It’s been ten years…ever since I graduated
from elementary school in Taiwan.
What a long time, isn’t it?
I can’t even remember how many times I told myself to give up.
I missed my hometown very much,
and felt a little confused about the old memories at the same time,
sounds absurd, right?
Ten years…it’s been too long to see myself,
my younger-self clearly.
How about her?
Will she still be there for me?
I’ll be on my way to Taiwan, heading to my past and future…

20XX年11月30日 星期四 天氣:晴
親愛的日記:
這是我回台灣的前一天,
換句話說,也是我留在英國的最後一天。
我把車子賣了、退了公寓、打包好了行李,
並向這裡的人們告別。
朋友們都勸我留下來把碩士唸完,我也考慮了不下千次。
然而我還是決定結束掉這裡的一切。
我想先回家,看看我有多少能耐替自己的未來打拼。
已經十年了…自從小學畢業以來。
真是夠久的了,我已記不清曾有幾次說過想放棄。
我思念我的故鄉,但我同時也感到迷惑。
我懷念過往的一切,聽起來真傻,對吧?
十年了,久到我都快看不見我自己了。
那她呢?
她還在那裡等我嗎?
我就要回台灣了,回到我的過去和未來…
