Sometimes, It Is Good To Be Alone
有時，孤獨是好事
"It is necessary for me, sometimes, to just be alone and quiet and doing nothing."
“有時候，我必須獨自一人，只是安靜地呆著，不做任何事。”
Charles Bukowski, one of my favorite poets, once wrote this.

就像你花時間在你愛的人身上，你也要花時間與自己相處。
You can't always do that when you are around others.

At times, your heartbeat can drown in the noise and you can't hear what your heart is saying to you.
你的心跳聲可能會淹沒在嘈雜的噪音里，你無法聽見你的心在與你對話。
