#4 开始我的新生活🤩
Start my new chapter of life
Hi everyone! This week I want to share with you about my new chapter of life.
The English translation is provided below the Chinese writing.
今天我离开了在多伦多市中心住了快两年的公寓。
搬家对于我一点都不陌生。
过去的十年里，每一到两年, 我就换一个城市生活。
可这次搬家，我还是感觉有点难过。
因为这次搬家不只是换一个地方生活，而是一种生活方式的改变。
它意味着我离开在多伦多市中心的生活，离开了二十多岁的随性自由。
是啊，我三十一岁了。
我搬到了多伦多的周边。我开始寻求稳定和安全感。
我开始更多的考虑家人的需求，而不只是自己的喜好。
Today I left the apartment I had lived in for almost two years in downtown Toronto.
Moving house is not new to me.
In the past ten years, every one to two years, I have changed to a different city to live.
But this time moving, I still feel a bit sad.
Because this move is not just a change of place to live, but a change of lifestyle.
It meant leaving my life in downtown Toronto and the freedom of my twenties.
Yes, I am thirty-one years old.
I moved to the surrounding areas of Toronto. I started looking for stability and security.
I started to think more about my family's needs rather than just my own preferences.
早上搬家公司的人把箱子，行李和家具搬走了。
我站在客厅里，看着空荡荡的房间，有点伤感。
我想到了在疫情期间一个人从美国搬到温哥华，
一年后又从温哥华搬到多伦多的日子。
想起了我曾经一个人住过的地方，一个人离开的城市，一个人奔赴新的地方。
现在的我很开心有伴侣的陪伴，一起搬家，一起开始新生活。
但也很怀念曾经一个人面对一切的时光。
我很感谢那时的自己，既胆怯又勇敢，但从来都没有放弃。
In the morning the moving company team moved the boxes, luggage, and furniture.
I stood in the living room, looking at the empty room, feeling a bit sad.
I thought about the time I moved to Vancouver from the US alone during the pandemic.
A year later, I moved from Vancouver to Toronto.
It reminds me of the places where I used to live alone, the cities I left by myself, and going to new places by myself.
Now I am very happy to be accompanied by my partner, moving together, and starting a new life together.
But I also miss the time when I faced everything alone.
I am very grateful to myself at that time, both timid and brave, yet never giving up.
到了新家，有好多事情要做。
我在每个房间的角落都摆上了苹果。
这是因为在中国文化里，苹果象征了平安，预示着以后的生活平平安安。
我要买好看的餐桌和椅子，室内植物，还有装饰画。
我希望把我的新家装饰成很明亮开心的风格。
我喜欢家里以白色为主，可以加一些黄色，蓝色和粉色来做强调色。
我期待着明年迎接爸妈来我的新家。
我要和妈妈一起种花，和爸爸一起踢毽。
我要好好享受新生活，活在当下。
等我把新家装饰好，我会和大家分享。下次见！
Arriving at my new home, there are many things to do.
I put apples in the corners of every room.
This is because, in Chinese culture, an apple symbolizes peace, indicating a safe life in the future.
I want to buy nice dining tables and chairs, houseplants, and decorative paintings.
I want to decorate my new home in a very bright and happy style.
I like the home to be mainly white, and I can add some yellow, blue, and pink as accent colors.
I look forward to welcoming mom and dad to my new home next year.
I want to plant flowers with my mom and play shuttlecock with my dad.
I want to enjoy my new life and live in the moment.
Once I finish decorating my new home, I will share it with you all. See you next time!
