我是大A: 30+

原本,妳以為,三十歲是一場畢業典禮。

妳很早就開始談戀愛,於是認為三十歲的時候,已經從原生家庭,走到了另一個家庭。妳從小就被誇獎聰明,什麼都得來容易,理所當然以為三十歲的妳,會更精明更有自信。妳不是乖巧的人,一直想在很遠的地方長大,認為三十歲已經,會很特別有不同的閱歷。

妳沒有把這些想法,當做對自己的期望,不過是想望而已。因為,妳不是有企圖心的人,自忖有什麼本事過什麼日子。以為三十歲就像很久以後的日曆,是遲早的事情,還不需要著急。

妳把該唸的書唸完,不再用學生證看電影。妳開始工作,第一次有挫折感。妳愛了幾個人,把他當成太陽,幾個街角之外,就看到對方。

有些事情是不如預期,可是就像時差一樣,調整之後就懂得怎麼自在呼吸。妳開始沾沾自喜,自己賺錢自己花,出國旅行只需要一張地圖。妳吃得出所謂的高級料理,週五下班後跳上計程車,到不同的地方認識別人的人生。妳以前好看是好看,但是不像現在一樣懂得打扮。

只是,妳仍然以為自己是小孩,不過是嘻嘻哈哈學大人的口氣,不過最重大的任務就是顧好自己。

一直到,有一天,妳發現和巨人一樣的爸媽,也開始老了,也開始跑醫院,的時候。妳已經有了四字頭的朋友,七年級的同事。妳認識了結婚又離婚的人,妳以為像妳的手指一樣不會放開妳的手掌的人,摔開妳了,以後。

妳三十歲了。可是。

妳遇到喜歡的人還是會緊張,還是會哭的很慘。妳心情好不好一樣掛在臉上,裝不出客套。妳樂起來的時候會失眠,一不小心就熬夜。妳上班的時候會在MSN開聊天室,在公車上忍不住回想今天發生的笑話。

怎麼就三十歲了呢?但是。

成分已經不一樣。妳還是相信愛情,但是不再相信每一個人。妳想要結婚,只是不再堅信那是幸福的憑證。妳不能沒有旅行,家還是妳最後的目的地。妳聽到一個人說喜歡妳,微笑了以後開心不起來,等著他的下一句:我還沒準備好;我忘不了前女友;妳很好,可是....

原來是,每一個時候,可能每一個人,都像剛拿到駕照,還不知道方向,就要上路。可能很多人都覺得自己像前段班的最後一名,會有插不上的話題。最重要的其實,從來不是妳夠不夠合群,有沒有符合原本的預期。而是即便妳那麼的叛逆,非要愛上別人叫妳不要愛的人,非要冒著比較多風險、過沒有人看好的人生。妳還是可以交代自己,說沒有人可以討好每個人,至少不管好不好,都是選擇之後的結果。

煙花易冷

繁華聲遁入空門 折煞了世人
夢偏冷輾轉一生 情債又幾本
如妳默認 生死枯等
枯等一圈 又一圈的 年輪

浮屠塔斷了幾層 斷了誰的魂
痛直奔一盞殘燈 傾塌的山門
容我再等 歷史轉身
等酒香醇 等妳彈一曲古箏

雨紛紛 舊故裡草木深
我聽聞 妳始終一個人
斑駁的城門 盤踞著老樹根
石板上迴蕩的是 再等

雨紛紛 舊故裡草木深
我聽聞 妳仍守著孤城
城郊牧笛聲 落在那座野村
緣份落地生根是我們

聽青春迎來笑聲 羨煞許多人
那史冊溫柔不肯 下筆都太狠
煙花易冷 人事易分
而妳在問 我是否還 認真

千年後累世情深 還有誰在等
而青史豈能不真 魏書洛陽城
如妳在跟 前世過門
跟著紅塵 跟隨我 浪跡一生

雨紛紛 舊故裡草木深
我聽聞 妳始終一個人
斑駁的城門 盤踞著老樹根
石板上迴蕩的是 再等

雨紛紛 雨紛紛 舊故裡草木深
我聽聞 我聽聞 妳仍守著孤城
城郊牧笛聲 落在那座野村
緣份落地生根是我們

雨紛紛 舊故裡草木深
我聽聞 妳始終一個人
斑駁的城門 盤踞著老樹根
石板上迴蕩的是 再等

雨紛紛 雨紛紛 舊故裡草木深
我聽聞 我聽聞 妳仍守著孤城
城郊牧笛聲 落在那座野村
緣份落地生根是我們
緣份落地生根是我們
