3 Secrets of a Girl Who Unapologetically Loves Herself
无可置辩地爱自己的女孩的3个秘密
1. I did not always feel this way
1.我并不总是这样感觉
Worthlessness and depression pervaded my days. I did not like myself or my body, and I did merciless things to it – like almost starving myself to the brink of death. Not many people know my past, or what I went through, but I think that overcoming the sadness and pain molded me into who I am today.
我总是感觉自己没有价值和抑郁。我不喜欢自己或者我的身体，而且我还对自己做了残忍的事情——例如我曾经几乎将自己饿到死亡的边缘。并没有许多人知道我的过去，或者我曾经经历了什么，但是我认为克服悲伤和痛苦，将我磨练成了今天的自己。
And let’s get to the core of this right now: self-acceptance is one of the life’s ultimate challenges. Sometimes, even when you accept yourself, you will maintain a love/hate relationship with what is in the mirror. Always striving to change the outside. Always hoping to be a better version of yourself. You know what? It is totally okay.
现在让我们来说一下重点：自我接受是人生的终极挑战之一。有时候，即使当你接受自己，你也会对镜子中的自己维持一种爱或者恨的关系。总是努力改变外部。一直希望有一个更好的自己。你知道吗？这没什么大不了的。
2. Loving yourself takes time
2.爱你自己也费时间
Immeasurable time. An unpredictable amount of time. Some people learn the ins and outs of self-love and self-worth quickly. Others, like me, need to exhume the light that resides deep within. At the beginning of every effort to learn how to love, yourself comes the desire to be better in tune with your true self, the higher self.
无限的时间。无法预估的时间。有些人很快就懂得了自爱和自我价值的内在和外在真谛。然而，像我一样的其他人，需要挖掘深处的光芒。在开始努力学习如何爱的时候，你自己会有一种期望，这种期望与你真实的自我，更高层次的自己很一致。
You might stumble blindly onto this path, or the torches could already be lit for you. Either way, the journey never truly ends. You only learn more about yourself in time.
你或许会踌躇摸索着踏上这一道路，或者路上已经为你点燃了火把。无论是哪种道路，这一路程永远不会真正结束。你只能学会适时地更多地了解自己。
3. I laugh at myself often
3.我经常嘲笑自己
Nothing in this world is permanent enough to truly alter the fabric of your reality. So there is no use in being so uptight and serious. I used to be an overly perfectionist, to the point where even my movements were so measured, I was robotic. Stiff. Alive but not living.
世界上的任何事情都不足够稳定，因此不能真正改变你的现实结构。所以没有必要太紧张和严肃。我曾经过度追求完美，甚至到了一种我的每个动作都十分有分寸，我就像是一个机器人一样。很僵硬。活着，但是却没有生气。
Gradually, the metal was chipped away by the emotions inside of me. When I stopped trying to control everything around me so viciously, the real me flowed through.
渐渐地，这一金属被我内在的感情所破坏。当我停止严格控制我身边的一切的时候，真正的我就开始自然表现出来了。

After-hours drinking is encouraged in Japanese corporate culture as a way to break the ice in work environments that can be uptight and formal.
日本的企业文化鼓励员工下班后喝酒聚会，这样可以帮助员工在严肃紧张的工作环境中缓和气氛。
