Living in London was something I just
住在伦敦，对我来说……真是件难以用言语形容的事情。
knew I had to do in my 20ies, but it still took me many years to actually make the move.

Now I'm coming up to 4 years living in London and feel that it's actually a place I can call home.

because I have felt in awe of this city when I cycle across the temps and taken tower bridge,
因为当我骑自行车穿过这座城市、经过泰晤士河并穿过塔桥时，我总是对这座城市感到由衷的敬畏。
but also crushed by London when I'm overheated and crammed into the central line tightly gripping my phone.
但当我感到热得难受、被挤在伦敦地铁的中央通道里、同时还得紧紧握着手机时，那种糟糕的体验简直让人难以忍受……
It's been a constant push and pull and this city does not make it easy.
这里总是充满了各种矛盾与冲突，而这座城市本身也并没有为人们的生活带来多少便利（或：这座城市并没有让人们的生活变得轻松）。

这就是我，正在分享自己最原始、未经过滤的观点。
And of course, I'm just one of 9 million people living here so you can decide if moving to London is worth it.

least wants something more and not in a materialist way but in an abundance way like I want more for myself.
至少有些人希望拥有更多，不过这种渴望并非出于物质主义的目的，而是出于对美好生活的向往——就像我希望自己能拥有更多一样。
It makes you also believe that you can want more for yourself and go after what you want and that it might even happen.
这也让你相信：你可以为自己争取更多，去追求自己想要的东西，而且这些事情真的有可能实现。
Life feels big here, which is a feeling I really, really love.

They're all just doing their thing, plugging along, pushing forward with their own little dreams and desires.

It feels like they're really trying to make something of themselves and live a life that is authentic to who they are,
他们似乎真的在努力成就一番事业，过一种与自己真实身份相符的生活。
but also not letting small-mindedness or limited beliefs stop them.
同时，他们也不会让狭隘的思维或有限的观念阻碍自己前进的步伐。
And all of these people doing their thing act as inspiration and push me to go after what I want,
所有这些都在做自己事情的人，都成为了我的榜样和动力，激励我去追求自己想要的东西。
which is how it's helped cultivate this abundance mindset.
