從外在到內在/From Outside to Inside

我很慶幸自己有機會做自己想做的事情，也有機會去體驗生活中許多不同的風景。

從台灣到米國兩年多，從台北大都會到米國鄉下大城市，再到現在所在的小鄉鎮；從台北與家人同住到自己一人的公寓。生活上，說起來倒有漸入佳境的感覺。

以前台北生活豐富多采，每天都得往外跑吸收新的養分才滿足。現在念書之餘（倒也是沒那麼多閒時間就是），沒地方可消磨，但卻多了機會培養自己的興趣。小時候我很喜歡動手做些東西，不是特別厲害，但自己感覺很滿足。隨著時間流逝，生活逐漸被課業工作佔滿，這微小的嗜好也慢慢地被埋沒在黑暗中。直到最近在逛我最愛的pinterest，受到許多啟發，這小小的嗜好才又發出微光。

從外在到內在，能有這樣的機會，我很滿足。

I am grateful for having the opportunity to do what I want, and the opportunity to experience different scenery in life.

Coming from Taiwan to the US, from a big city to a small college town, from living with my family to having my own apartment.  Life, to me, is just getting better.

Taipei is an energetic city, all sorts of activities and fun things are happening everyday.  There was no day that I just stayed at home; I had to go out to see the new things, so that I felt satisfied.  Now, in addition to studying, there aren't many places for me to fool around.  On the other hand, I have the chance to develop my habit.  I used to love crafting when I was little.  I wasn't good at all, but I really enjoyed the design process and the sense of fulfillment from it.  As time went by, life was gradually occupied by academic works and jobs and I finally lost this habit.  Until recently, browsing the craft projects on pinterest, I realized what I used to love and started picking it up.

From outside to inside, I really appreciate for the chance in my life.
