写信总是好难啊(我肯定没有你那么会写)。我想过拿出去年的信来激发一些灵感,但是还是决定不那么做了。我怕那样会影响我写这封信。
所以,我可能得即兴发挥然后努努力了,因为我知道你很喜欢我给你的这些信。
停下来回顾今天还有过去一年你的成长,让我感觉挺有趣的。客观来讲16个月多一点的时间貌似不是很长。但我觉得我好像从你生命的洪荒始初就认识你了。
所以停下来回顾和反思都挺超现实的(没有不好的意思)。但我打算写得简短些,因为还有其他事情要说。
今天回家路上,我想到你的精神科医生要求你尝试简化自己对于情绪和感受的表达。你对这个作业感到特别苦恼。这其实挺有意思的。因为它总结了你最好的也最具争议性的一些品质。
从我遇到你那刻开始,我就发现你的身上流动着无数见解、想法和感受。逐步了解你的过程引人入胜、让人陶醉。即使是你看到的那些最细微的事,好像你都对它们抱有很多思考和观点。对于你关心的事,你仿佛就是那么会表达。你绝对不是那种把事都藏起来的人。这是你的常态。底下有一种长存的生动感和情感的脉搏。
你是那种开心了就忍不住要分享情绪给所有人的人,也是一个对他人足够关心所以愿意倾听的人。你感情的原始性让你很平易近人,也很真诚。
当然每件事都有另外一面,你的情绪总是特别快速和强烈。消极情绪也是一样,它会像飓风一样强烈影响你,把一切都卷进去,对你的心境起到破坏性的后果。
话虽然是这么说。但是在飓风中站在你身边很值得,因为可以目睹你是怎么看这个世界的,还有你的角度中体现出来的纯真的美。
当我和你一起学习,一起成长,这些消极情绪也没那么难对付了。它们不再有毁灭性,如果我们多花时间和精力,就能把它们解决。
我想给你一个迟到的生日快乐。
还想和你说,不管你如何表达自己的情绪,我期待着看到它的全貌,伴随它所有的复杂性。

Birthday letter
Its always quite difficult to write letters (I guess I am not quite as natural as you are). I thought about looking at last years letter for idea but decided against it, as not to influence this letter. So, I guess I will shoot from the hip and try to put in some effort since I know you really like these letters.
It seems quite interesting to stop and think about this day and reflect on you and your growth over the since last year. Although practically 16 or so months don’t seem like quite along time, its seems like I’ve known you for like forever. So it seems kinda surreal (in a good way) in a way to stop and reflect, but I guess I will be brief when it comes do that. Because there are other things I would like to discuss.
I Recently though of something returning from home, the advice you doctor gave to you about simplifying your emotions and feelings. and how you struggled with doing so, it was interesting because I think this titbit summarises some of your best (and even some your questionable ) qualities.
From the moment I meet you I could tell that you where brimming with ideas, thoughts and feelings. It was quite intriguing and intoxicating getting know you. Even the smallest detail you saw it seemed like you had a lot small thoughts and opinions about. You simply had this expressiveness you had about yourself when you saw things you cared about. You never really quite the one to hold your cards close to your chest.
And this has been a common things even to this day, a constant pulse of liveliness and emotions . someone who when is happy cant help but to share express these emotions to anyone, who cares to listen. Some whose rawness in emotions makes yourself very approachable and sincere.
But as mentioned before has with most things the is often to sides to thing, although your quite to share and your unique and emotions in a very instantons and strong manner. The same is true with your more negative emotions in which whenever you feel bad about something, it can affect you quite strongly where its almost like a Huracan that throw everything of course recking havoc on your mental state.
But that being said its worth standing by any such Huracan of negative emotions, to see the genuine beaty of how you view the world. And as I learn and grow with you these negative emotional events get a lot easier to deal with, to the point when these events are no longer as destructive and can be resolve with a little time and effort.
anyway I want to say happy birthday ( even though its abit late). And that regardless of how your expressions of emotions manifest, I look forward to seeing it all in its full complexity in all.
