It's not easy to live and work in a big city,
cause the competition is so fierce
and you can barely balance
your job and your life

yi因为竞争非常jili激烈
你几乎没有办法平衡工作与生活

cause eveyone around you
will think they have a say in how you
live and you're basically livint your life for others.
在小城市生活也不容易
因为你身边的每个人都觉得
他们再你的生活中有话语权
而你基本是在为别人而活
i live in
one of the busiest city in the world

with a former classmate

几天前我刚刚和以前的同班同学吃了饭
She gave up.
and she had decided
to go back home.

but i didn't stop her,
because it was her own choice

不过我没有阻止他
因为这是她自己的选择
I, on the other hand,
have a well paid job
so my life is quite good
in my point of view
而我，有一份薪水不错的工作
所以在我看来，我的生活还挺好的
But i ,too
had my tough days
in the firs few years
after i came here
不过，我曾经也一样
在刚来这座城市的那几年
也曾过着艰辛的日子
And even now
sometimes i got overwhelmed
by the workload
而即使现在
有时候我也觉得
被工作压的喘不过气来
But i conquered them
and they made me stronger

而且
它们让我变得更强了

the freedom to live my won life.

因为这里有我最珍视的东西
过自己生活的自由
