San Francisco ferry from Sausalito, 1999.
来自Darren的Tumblr,他为这张照片配的标题是"Everybody's beautiful. When they are young."
有位很贴心的歌迷回赠了他一句,"Mr.Hayes, don't worry about looking good, worry more about being good."
因为这条评论引起了一点争执,虽然这句话我很赞同,但是还是需要把Darren的回复完整贴过来。好吧,只贴一部分。
Ironically I never felt attractive most of my life up to this point in my life.
相反的是,我的人生大半部分时间从未觉得自己有吸引力,直到现在。
I was picked on at school for being 'fat' - I was told I had eyes too big, lips too fat, awful teeth.
在学校的日子我曾因“胖”被人找碴,被说成是,眼睛太大,嘴唇太厚,还有糟糕的牙齿。
Even in Savage Garden I was often considered by some to be the more 'unusual looking' one - the chubby one - the unconvential looking one.
即使是在野人花园的日子,我也经常被认为是长得“独特”的那个,圆乎乎的那个,非传统长相的那个。【兄弟,你太有自知之明了,我第一眼也不认为你是好看的那个。
It took me to this point in my life to realise we are all beautiful. I feel more attractive now than I ever have - even though I have beautiful wrinkles, lovable love handles and joyful signs of aging.
直到人生走到现在,我才真正意义上意识到,所有人都是美丽的。我从未像现在这样感受到自己的魅力,即使我有了美丽的褶皱,可爱的肚腩,以及岁月带来的幸福的痕迹。
I'm loved.
我是被爱着的。
And on the inside that shines outward like a supernova.
而这种内在的感受让我觉得闪耀的像是一颗超级新星。【That's why I love you.
