What happens when you move from a city with a population of 2.7million to a little town in Hawaii (~4000 people) during covid?
YOU SLOW DOWN.
Besides working online, I spent most of my past weeks resting, reading, exercising, and - let’s be honest - chilling and sleeping! 😆
You’d think this is the dream, but believe me, as a workaholic this feels WEIRD. And guilty. (Uff why can’t I just enjoy🤦🏽♀️) I’m so used to the high-speed life, full schedule. And now I’m just floating around it seems, placing one foot at a time, figuring out where what how.
After 11 years in Taiwan, this was to be expected. I wanted a change. I just didn’t know how it was gonna be.
Moving to a new place is like starting from 0 (or 1 because at least I don’t need to learn a new language this time). I get to rebuild my life and my routines. It’s fun, but it’s also hard, because I don’t know what my new “building blocks” are until I find them. There’s no structure.
But I’m committing to this slow process now. I want to allow more things I love to enter my life and let superficial distractions pass through. There’s a lot of silence and emptiness too right now, but I am allowing that space to exist within me, maybe keeping it empty for a while. Why not? Silence has a voice too.
“Life’s not a competition, it’s an adventure”, I remind myself.
You can go fast, or you can go slow. Just keep moving to your own rhythm. 👣

當妳在新冠病毒期間從一個大城市（人口270萬）搬到夏威夷的一個小鎮時（人口約4000 ）會發生什麼？
你。會。慢。下。來。很。多。
除了在線工作之外，我過去幾週大部分時間都在休息、做家事、跟愛人去海邊，閱讀、運動，還有⋯睡覺！ 😆
聽起來很像夢想？相信我，作為一個工作狂，這感覺很奇怪，好像有罪⋯ （幹嘛不好好享受就好🤦🏽♀️）我在台灣已經習慣了高速忙碌的生活，但現在的我似乎感覺是漂浮在宇宙中，只能一步一步慢慢來，因為建立基礎總是最難。
在台灣待了 11 年後，這也不是意外吧。我過來就是想做出改變。 只是改變之前其實我不知道結果會怎麼樣。
搬到一個新的地方就像從0開始（或從1開始因為至少這次至少不需要再學一個新語言）。
我開始重建我的生活，找新結構。雖然這滿有趣，但也有他的難處，因為在尋找和認識新地方時，心裡會不穩定。
但我已開始擁抱這個緩慢的過程。 想讓更多我喜愛的東西進入生活，同時過濾不必要的事物。雖然常常也有沉默和空虛，但我想允許那個空間存我的內心，也許讓它空虛一段時間。 為何不？ 沉默也有聲音。
生活不是比賽，而是旅程
我們可以走得快，也可以走得慢
繼續按照自己的節奏前進就好👣
