石榴 |明明知道这是一条世人眼中不正确的路,可我还是走下去了


shiliu

我也不知道是不是我长得太像励志小天后,与人聊着聊着总绕到了谈人生谈理想,于是总不可避免地被问到同一个奇怪的问题:石榴,你理想的生活是什么样的呀?

一 关于生活

去年我奶奶刚在手机里装了微信,我妈说石榴奶奶,石榴这篇文章被好几万人读了,你看看写的怎么样?

我奶奶拿起手机,嘴一咧,眉头一皱,莫名其妙地突然开始哭。

我和我妈都吓傻了,问她怎么了。原来是我在某篇文章的导语里写“那我就来写写我生活中光明的,沉重的,血淋淋的——以此来迎接我的19岁”。我奶奶说,你看看你,要什么有什么,在美国读书,有这么爱你的家人,你还要什么?还血淋淋的,你淋什么啊,就跟我们委屈了你似的。

对我奶奶那个年代的人来说,以后有了大房子,吃得好了,就没有理由不快乐,没有理由不幸福。于是他们用一辈子攒钱、买房、让子女受最好的教育。我在如此众星捧月之下,竟敢还说自己不幸福,也是太忘恩负义。

可现实中的我们并未“幸福快乐地生活了下去”,反之,80、90后人群患抑郁症的比例如火箭般嗖嗖上升。我们被父母的期待要挟,被成功学要挟,被这个物欲横流的着急的时代要挟。我奶奶也从未因为当初梦想的实现而轻松,而是担心我爸工作完了担心我上学,等我上了大学了又忧心我将来失业。

我有时想,未来真的不可以预测吗?我们这代人,正是在父母爷爷奶奶他们年轻时曾构想出的那个“美好未来”中出生的,可真实的我们的精神状态却和父辈祖父辈期待中的我们差之千里。由此推之,如果我们继续以未来的成功作为奋斗目标,多年后,我们的精神生活并不会因理想的实现而改善。

作为一名资深吃货,我老觉得生活就像饺子,外边是皮儿,里面是馅儿。更高的薪水,更大的房子,不断跳槽求来的职位,就像是包饺子时手法不断变化,从馄钝式到荷叶边。生活的外物变得越发炫酷,可如果馅儿不变,饺子的味道就还是那样。生活中喜怒哀乐的配比才决定生活的质量。世界上最愚蠢的事,莫过于将幸福寄托于未来物质生活的改善,还傻了吧唧地觉得为了n年之后的成功而牺牲现在是一件可歌可泣的事。

二 关于理想

石榴,你理想的生活是什么样的呀?

提问者动机各异。有的人是生活过于平淡无聊,想让我给他二两鸡血一针强心剂;有的人是正面临抉择,想瞄一眼别人的答案作参考;有的是在特立独行的路上走寂寞了,来我这寻求安慰和共鸣。

可惜相同的是我的回答总是令他们失望。嘛,我没有理想的生活。

提问者惊,我看你每天这么折腾,那是在追求什么?

答曰:不追求什么,因为我想折腾啊。

每当这个时候,提问者的脸上就写着数不尽的无语。这个对话模式像极了一年前我刚开始穿旗袍时所有见我的人几乎都要问我的一个问题:

A:你为什么要穿一年旗袍啊?

我:因为好玩儿啊。想穿一下体验一下是什么感觉。

A:哦……

倒不是刻意做对话终结者,只是我越来越不能理解人对于意义和目标的偏执。我总是在想,为什么好奇心和enjoyment不能成为做一件事充足的理由呢?

理想,从来不等于理想的生活。理想是饺子皮,而理想的生活是馅儿。我所以为的聪明是,不要只追求改变饺子皮的形状,还要追求给当下的馅料调味。

我有很多理想,我想有一个巨大的私人图书馆,我希望自己的品牌基业长青,我希望在很多城市小住寻找灵感——我却只有一种理想的生活,就是我当下过的这一种。不论日后我有几重身份,身在何处,我都会重复这种生活,并从中获得快乐。

三 关于学业

我决定停学。因为最让我兴奋的人不在校园里,最令我激动地机会更不在校园里。

我发现自由是在无数你争取到的最好的机会中,用直觉做出最让你舒服的选择。自由不是随心所欲或无所事事,而是为自己创造出尽可能多的可能性。停学这个决定一度让我很忐忑,于是我准备了ABCD四套方案,为了其中一套方案,我期末在两个考试之间飞了一趟北卡,帮一家之后可能加入的公司修改了融资计划书。那天我在图书馆呆到早上6点,看着蒙蒙亮的天突然觉得,追随内心从来不是懒惰的理由,更不是怯懦的幌子。

我说我没有最理想的生活,因为我现在就在以我能想到的最理想的方式生活。不苟且,不盲从,理智清醒但却畅快洒脱。用好选择的权力,取悦自己,关照自己爱的人。我从不向往诗和远方的意淫,我只有此时、此地、此刻。

生命本身虽无意义,但有些事对生命有意义。

生命是多么短暂。我想让自由和美丽把它充满。

四 关于旗袍

shiliu4

如今我已经穿着旗袍,跨越了大半个地球从中国途径迪拜把旗袍穿到了大洋彼岸的美国。所有绚烂的事物都像玫瑰花,总是日子过着过着就风干了,每天早上一打开衣柜看到飘然满满一排旗袍,高低错落地挂着,忘记了惊喜,忘记了感叹,只是每个阳光甚暖的清晨应和着天气取下一件衣服默默穿上,对着镜子按部就班地整好立领,扣好盘扣,理好发丝。与旗袍的邂逅是一个让人从平淡之中一飞冲天的烟花筒,在空中璀璨绚丽燃烧后却又落回平凡,但这有玫瑰装点的平凡却又与起先的平淡不同,是有滋味的平凡。

我更愿意相信旗袍是一个讲给自己和那些能听懂的人的故事。大多数时候,你尽可以将穿旗袍的日子当做一种欢愉的自我修养,与男朋友无关,与同事上司无关,与擦肩而过的路人更无关。生活有且只是自己的,这并不是一件令人沮丧的事,而是如此真诚,不迷茫也不矫饰。而有时若有凭空而降的缘分,则会凭玫瑰相认,三五知己,谈笑风生。穿上旗袍踏风而去,生命中任何一个时刻的相遇都会变成最美丽优雅的邂逅。

人需要学会与旗袍相处。如果有机会,不如多穿穿旗袍。不是指一掷千金定做一件华服然后将其软禁在箱底,非等领奥斯卡的那天才肯穿到红毯上,而是置办几件低调却和你气质同一的旗袍,在某个再平凡不过的一天,踩着帆布鞋把它理直气壮地穿出去。往复几次你就会发现,旗袍的美不是一次性的火山爆发,而是在每次日子索然无味时,只要品上一口就会在唇齿间留下的清香。绵绵细语,余音绕梁。

那么,祝你也过有旗袍的生活。
