1
There's beauty.
2
and chaos in solitude.
3
It's kind of weird how solitude can both be of a great benefit and also kind of be this very destructive thing.
4
And it's something that when you go through it, I guess depending on if it's willingly or not, You can...
5
It can do a lot of good for you, but it can also destroy you and not Not everyone necessarily survives it or can handle it.
6
and For me, I guess it was like sort of this...
7
coming of age thing.
8
I mean, I guess in some some weird way I'm still in it.
9
But it's just like this process that you just kind of go through.
10
And when you're in it, at least when I was in these very sort of deeper times in my life that like felt Super
11
or just felt lost.
12
and you know, like you're in this abyss Obviously you don't You don't know...
13
where you're going to end up.
14
And weirdly enough, it's in those moments that you are both Like, it forces you...
15
to live presently.
16
It's like you're not in the present moment, but in order to get through those times of solitude You have to literally take it day by day.
17
because trying to imagine a full life of those feelings or those experiences just living like that feels horrible.
18
And obviously, at least for me, it didn't turn out that way.
19
It's not like it's been like that forever, it's not like it's still like that.
20
I mean, who knows, it could become like that again.
21
And everything's just, you know, it's like waves.
22
Just things dissipate, things form.
23
and you don't really know where it comes from. But... With solitude, it's like...
24
You have to face yourself.
25
And crazily enough, that is the hardest thing to do.
26
facing who you are. And...
27
It's hard to face who you are when you don't even know who you are.
28
You know?
29
So you're put in this position when you're by yourself, and you're just in a room with yourself.
30
You know, it's like talking to a stranger.
31
who Apparently it's like it's like a family member.
32
Oh who you've known of your whole life, or like a neighbor or something, people you've seen forever, We just never talked to them.
33
So if you try to do it, It would be super awkward.
34
And like it'd be very unfamiliar. and uncomfortable.
35
And that's what it's like being in solitude.
36
you know, being alone.
37
It's like talking to someone who you've known forever, but just never really bothered to speak to.
38
And Maybe you've seen that person externally.
39
you know, doing things.
40
And that's like your external self, just who you present as who you feel like you are but maybe are not really.
41
and then you talk to that person,
42
you talk to yourself, you think And then you start to.. figure it out that That person externally isn't you.
43
or It's a part of you but it's a facade, it's a mask.
44
Or it's just...
45
Just a little bit.
46
It's just a little bit of it.
47
and it's hardly the rest of who you are.
48
and Obviously, figuring out who you are takes your entire life.
49
You know?
50
But it's like during those times of solitude, being alone, That is when you figure out the most about yourself. That is when...
51
in some sense you have to Either...
52
succumb to your fears be devoured by them, Or face them.
53
And it's not like...
54
This single choice It's like a battle, it's a fight.
55
where You subject to your fears.
56
or to your insecurities.
57
And they do...
58
just sort of They defeat you. But then...
59
If you keep going, Which...
60
You have to.
61
You have to keep going.
62
then you will get over those humps.
63
And it's obviously, it's not like a straight line up.
64
It's not a straight line down.
65
I mean, for me, it was kind of like this steady decline.
66
Well, it wasn't a steady decline.
67
I'd say it was like more of like a...
68
Kind of like a drop off. But...
69
Weirdly enough.
70
As steep as that drop -off seemed, just as steep or even steeper was to climb back up.
71
And not in the sense that it was...
72
difficult.
73
I mean it was difficult, but in the sense that that's how quickly I It felt like it happened.
74
And even if you look back, maybe you realize that it did take a long time. But it's like...
75
that mental change that mental switch which does take time, but it's...
76
that's where everything stems from all the external things from your life It...
77
will sort of It's slower.
78
It's slower to be realized.
79
But that internal change
80
is what happens the most quickly or can happen the most quickly you know just like that You know, it can just be a decision and it's not easy, you know, when you put it that way, "Oh, it's just a decision." But...
81
It can be.
82
And the decision can be made, but it's not fully realized or actualized.
83
Until much later. But...
84
Thank you.
85
The reason why there's there's chaos is is because you're wrestling with yourself.
86
and It's like that external part of you.
87
the external part of you that you thought was you.
88
you are now realizing that it isn't.
89
or that that part of you, the external part of you, such a tiny bit that you made the whole thing.
90
You know, it's just like, it's like a cover.
91
It's just like this big This big painting, or it's like you've seen like how there's like a painting and there's a painting behind the painting.
92
It's like there's this big painting that you cover your whole self with.
93
And then You just started to chip at it just a little bit.
94
It's just this thin layer.
95
of paint and then you see there's this whole painting behind it
96
and you have no idea where it came from and you don't understand it.
97
You know? So it's like that.
98
It's like finding that part of you that you didn't know existed.
99
and it can be grey.
100
It can be scary, it can be you know, Just nerve -wracking or...
101
You don't even know how to grasp it or understand it.
102
Thank you.
103
And it's It's forcing yourself to do that.
104
Like sometimes it's You can reject it you know, you can go back to that external part,
105
you can cover up that part of the painting that you accidentally looked into and saw the painting behind it.
106
You can cover that up and you can become that external self again.
107
You can fully try and be that.
108
And, you know, for some people, I guess...
109
that works But...
110
Also, I don't know if those people truly know themselves.
111
And It's a sad thing, but also it's like, hmm, maybe...
112
Maybe for them, they feel better off.
113
I don't know.
114
I don't know if I would...
115
prefer to have stayed the way I was. But...
116
Obviously I'm here now.
117
It's not like I really had a choice.
118
It just happened.
119
Thank you. And...
120
Once you're forced to face who you are, There's...
121
The fight.
122
And there is that like transformation of
123
Everything that you thought you weren't really you didn't care about now it all comes and
124
Now it is all at you at once.
125
And things that maybe weren't a problem before Now they are.
126
Either because you are...
127
sort of, I guess, I had an imbalance.
128
It's like your foundation has been shook.
129
Now that things that like maybe you were
130
at peace with now They're completely like all over the place and you can't you don't feel like you can handle it. And, like, I mean...
131
I had like...
132
There's insecurities that I never had, like my whole life.
133
And then once I got to like this period of solitude during my high school years, like especially during my sophomore year, all of these insecurities came in.
134
And I was like, what?
135
Because it doesn't even make sense.
136
I don't know why I had these insecurities.
137
And I still have them today, but it's like, it's weird.
138
Because all that time before I had none of those insecurities.
139
I didn't even think about them.
140
And now and now I do.
141
And it's just weird how that works.
142
And that's still something I have to...
143
You know, grow from and come to terms with. But...
144
It's...
145
It's like...
146
Finding yourself is also.. kind of It's like it doesn't obviously doesn't solve your problems, but it can bring more problems in a way.
147
and It's, at least for me, What I've gained...
148
at least It's...
149
Trying to have that that like meta perspective.
150
Trying to...
151
you know, wrestle with those feelings, That is, you know, who I am.
152
While also, like, knowing I have to...
153
Remain grounded.
154
Knowing I have to continue to build up a foundation.
155
of, I guess, who I am.
156
And then also...
157
realizing the things that I am unsatisfied with about myself and you know, certain insecurities or whatever it is,
158
They are either things that you know that you have to force yourself to improve on?
159
force yourself to I guess ignore or become at peace with Or it's like...
160
Thank you.
161
Just.. trying to outgrow it And...
162
I think...
163
If more people Oh if more people went through solitude,
164
and I'm not sure if this is like, Um...
165
Like a understatement.
166
Maybe people are always going through solitude, like tons of people, or maybe not.
167
But at least from-- my perspective, just like my environment you know where i've grown up and stuff.
168
It seems to me that a lot of people, they don't face themselves.
169
feed.
170
Kind of...
171
hang out with the same people or the same type of people their whole life.
172
You know, a lot of people, they kind of stay within their...
173
their boundaries of like the clicks or whatever.
174
And when I see that, I think...
175
This person...
176
At least to me, they seem the same as they were...
177
Seven years ago, eight years ago when I first knew of them. And...
178
Of course, they've changed.
179
I'm sure they've changed.
180
I'm sure they've grown in different ways.
181
face different things in their life.
182
But for the most part, There was no...
183
External.
184
Change.
185
And of course, that's me, you know, from the outside looking in.
186
So I can't actually know for sure.
187
You know, that's like, in some way it's like a little bit I don't know if I'd say judgmental, but it's like ignorant.
188
It's just a bit ignorant.
189
But also then again, it's like sometimes when I talk with these people It's like...
190
Still, There's not much change. And I think...
191
It's a mix of just like social structure where obviously you don't reveal everything to everyone.
192
You're not fully open to just everyone. But...
193
At least for me, it's like...
194
I am no way.. near the same as I was in sixth grade.
195
Like in sixth grade, I was like kind of this sporty kid who
196
wanted to be part of the popular group who was also like realizing that that wasn't really the move
197
and also growing still.
198
But also like...
199
kind of still in this in this bubble of being
200
like encapsulated in this sphere of wanting what everyone else around me wanted, without realizing that all that stuff didn't matter at all,
201
And I guess I'm still doing that.
202
I'm still like figuring out Stuff that I thought matter don't matter actually, but...
203
It's like Hmm, some people didn't go through that change yet.
204
or they might never.
205
So then they never really... do change.
206
They never really...
207
Transform in that way.
208
Yeah.
209
And that's not a bad thing, I guess.
210
But to me, it's just interesting to observe.
211
Because, you know, I've...
212
I feel like...
213
Everything's changed for me.
214
And some people I think Maybe nothing's changed.
215
And I mean change is not always a good thing obviously. But...
216
I wonder...
217
more people went through some type of solitude. Would that...
218
make them better.
219
You know?
220
And obviously like it's like an overgeneralization because like everyone, everyone's different.
221
Everyone will deal with things different.
222
You know, people could end up worse.
223
I mean, I certainly ended up worse at many cases at many times.
224
I mean right now I'm doing a lot better. But...
225
It's just a wonder. But...
226
If you are going through solitude, How do you feel?
227
What is it?
228
What is the...
229
sort of feeling as the outlook to the future or the past because for me I
230
I don't know if I thought about the future very much.
231
I thought...
232
I had no future.
233
And All I thought I had was the past. And now I think...
234
I still have the past. But...
235
Really?
236
All that matters is right now And the future is just something...
237
I can.. just be hopeful about.
238
And if I'm not hopeful about it, then...
239
Maybe I just shouldn't think about it.
240
Yeah.
241
So many things.
242
and so many different inputs and outputs that make you who you are.
243
And it's just weird, like, I could have never planned it. And if I knew...
244
how things were gonna go, chances are I probably wouldn't have taken that path.
245
And that would have been a bad thing.
246
At least in the long run. So...
247
Maybe...
248
Maybe you don't want to see too far.
249
Because.. or you don't want to try to predict too closely.
250
Or you don't want to...
251
think that right now is All there is. So...
252
Because then you kind of prevent yourself from The possibilities.
253
of something better. But...
254
I guess it just depends on the situation you're in.
255
Because if you're living great now, then...
256
Don't worry about the future.
257
Okay.
258
I don't know where I'm going with this, but...
259
Yeah, beauty and chaos and solitude.
260
There certainly is.

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
