I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms. 我發現所有關於愛情的描述都是真的. "莎士比亞曾說“戀人總在旅程的終點相會” 真浪漫的想法. 雖然我從來沒有過這種經驗, 但是我相信莎翁有過. 我對愛情一向比別人想得更多, 也深切地相信愛情能改變人生. 莎士比亞也說：“愛情是盲目的” . 這一點我肯定是真的. 不知道為什麼，對某些人來說, 愛情是漸漸消逝, 其他人則是完全失去愛情. 但是有些人能夠輕易找到愛情. 就算只是一夜情. 當然還有另一種愛情, 最殘酷的那一種, 足以讓人痛不欲生, 那就是單戀, 我就是這方面的專家. 愛情故事通常講的是兩個人相愛, 但是像我們這種人呢？ 我們的故事很少被提起, 孤獨地墜入愛河. 我們是單戀的苦主, 也是受詛咒的受害者, 更是沒人疼沒人愛的可憐蟲, 就像找不到停車位的殘障人士. 像我這樣的一個女子, 我死心塌地單戀那個男人, 過了三年的痛苦人生, 我這一生最慘痛的日子, 耶誕節很難熬、過生日沒人陪, 除夕只能放聲大哭、狂吞鎮靜劑. 身陷在黑暗的枷鎖中, 因為我無可救藥的愛上一個男人, 卻沒得到相同的回報, 我光是看到他, 心臟就狂跳、喉嚨干到無法吞咽, 全都是單相思的症狀
這是片中Iris說的，我跟她一樣，我的愛情也是cursed．很可憐，我積極努力地追求我的愛情，但是至今仍然顆粒無收．千百次地問我自己，是不是我的錯，但是我真的不知道． 今天又是星期天，在辦公室的樓下登記入門．一個門衛對另一個說：她每個周末或者公共假日都是第一個來辦公室的．聽了這個話我內心極其淒涼．我根本就不想周末來辦公室，我其實最願意在家裡守着老公與孩子，與他們溫馨地度過每一個團聚的日子．但是這個夢我什麼時候能實現呢？我很怕我的人生就這樣孤單而行. Why am l attracted to a person
l know isn't good?
為什麼我老是愛錯人？
l happen to know the answer to this.
Because you're hoping you're wrong,
我剛好知道答案
因為你祈求上蒼是自己弄錯了
and every time she does something
that tells you she's no good, you ignore it,
她對你壞，你故意忽視
and every time she comes through
and surprises you, she wins you over
她對你好，你就完全的死心塌地
and you lose that argument with yourself
that she's not for you.
完全沒想到其實是她不適合你 I understand feeling as small
and as insignificant as humanly possible,
我了解那種渺小又微不足道的感受
and how it can actually ache in places
that you didn't know you had inside you,
就算遍體鱗傷也要故作堅強
and it doesn't matter
how many new haircuts you get
不管換了幾個新髮型
or gyms you join or how many glasses of
chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends,
或是去健身或是和姊妹淘喝白酒
you still go to bed every night
going over every detail,
日日夜夜都仍在回想着每個細節
and wonder what you did wrong
or how you could have misunderstood.
納悶自己到底哪裡錯了，哪裡誤解了
And how in the hell, for that brief moment,
you could think that you were that happy?
最後自問怎麼會把短暫的歡愉
錯當成永久的快樂
And sometimes you can even
convince yourself that he'll see the light
有時候會說服自己
and show up at your door.
他會想清楚回來的
(SlGHS)
And after all that,
however long all that may be,
經歷過這一切後
you'll go somewhere new
人還是會重新開始
and you'll meet people
who make you feel worthwhile again,
再遇到值得付出的人
and little pieces of your soul
will finally come back.
然後一點一點地重拾自信
And all that fuzzy stuff,
而那些模糊的回憶
those years of your life that you wasted,
那麼多年浪費掉的人生
that will eventually begin to fade.
終究會開始消逝
