双语：发现自己

Find Yourself

"Finding yourself that has lost" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket.

“找回迷失的自我”并非正确的思考方式。别把自己当成一张十美元的钞票，隐藏在去年冬天穿过的大衣口袋里。

You are also not lost.

你也并没有迷失自己。

Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid became your beliefs about who you are.

你真正的自我就在此处，它被深深的埋藏起来了，在它之上覆盖着文化规训，他人的界定，还有你孩童时期得到的模糊的教训，正是这些成为你对自己的认识。

"Finding yourself that has lost" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.

“找回迷失的自我”其实就是回归自我，未受教化的，未经发掘的，如同一段模糊的回忆一般的自我，在世界磨光你的棱角之前的自我。
