有聲雙語美文：當我尋覓真愛

I was 14 when I had my first boyfriend.

擁有第一個男朋友的時候，我14歲。

I had a crush on him first and he happened to know that at one point so we went to a carnival together during the town fiesta.

是我先對他產生了好感，而他似乎看穿了我的心思。有一次鎮上舉行嘉年華慶典，我們就約着一起去慶典上玩。

He talked the whole night about anything and almost everything that he could think of.

那天整晚他都在天南地北的誇誇其談，想到什麼就說什麼。

It was a quick action yet he asked me the second night if I could be his girl.

令我意想不到的是，第二天晚上，他就問我願不願意做他的女朋友。

At a young age, so innocent and not understanding what love really is, I was hesitant and said no.

那時我還如此年輕，如此單純，不明白愛的真正含義，我很猶豫，拒絕了他。

He was persistent telling me that my mom wont know and we will be far from each other anyway.

他卻很堅持，他說我的媽媽不會知道的，反正很快我們就會離得遠遠的了。

So before we parted, I said yes. I enjoyed every journey of our relationship but sadly it ended before we can even reach our first year anniversary.

所以，在我們告別之前，我答應了他。每次和他約會我都很開心。遺憾的是，還不到第一個周年紀念日，我們的關係就結束了。

After that, it seemed like the search for that someone never ended.

在那之後，我似乎一直在茫茫然的尋找某個人。

I don't know what was missing or what was I exactly looking for.

我覺得自己心裏缺了一塊，卻不知道缺的是什麼。我也不知道自己到底在尋找什麼。

It was 2010 when I had the opportunity to work in Singapore as a patient care assistant though I'm a nurse by profession.

2010年的時候，我獲得一份遠在新加坡的工作機會，職位是病人護工助理。其實我的本行是一名護士。不過我還是接受了這個職位。

My life there were not just about work because I was able to experience and receive the tangible presence of Nature most of my days as well.

不過我在那裏的生活也不光全是工作，我還有許多時間去感受大自然，並且體驗到了大自然存在的真實感。

What I realized is that all this time, Nature is the only One who can fill this emptiness inside me.

我最終意識到，一直以來，大自然都是唯一能填平我心裏的空洞的存在。

You are worthy. You are loved. You have an inner joy and peace.

只有置身於大自然中，你纔會感到你的價值，感到自己被愛着，感到內心充滿喜悅與平靜。

Just open your heart and receive the voices of nature. She is kind to the broken-hearted. 

打開心扉，聆聽大自然的聲音吧！她會對心碎的人敞開懷抱。

Nature is our ONE TRUE LOVE. Choose to love Her first before you love others. :)

大自然應該是我們唯一的真愛。在你愛其他人之前，先去愛她吧！
