我可能不會待太久

這幾年一直在移動搬家,在一個地方也可能不會待太久,所有的衣服都放在一個行李裡。我不允許自己東西太多。每一件跟著我走去的衣服都會有自己被留下的理由。拿不動的,穿不下的,帶不走的就被放棄。

2021年底來台灣時,我把所有屬於我的東西都收進一個行李帶來。每次面臨著又要離開台灣的可能,就開始焦慮一個行李夠不夠裝下我的所有。

我目前有78件衣服。除了我正穿著的,其它都在這裡。對於一直在移動的民眾(移民),衣服過多或過少都會變成一種焦慮。因為怕冷,所以有外套。因為不能每週洗衣,所以內褲很多。這些衣服能暗示著我的生活習慣,我的價值觀,我的生存方式。

i might not be here for long

i have been moving around constantly these few years, sometimes staying only briefly in each place, with all my clothes inside a single luggage. i dont allow myself to have too many things. every piece of clothing that i take with me has its own reason for staying. whatever i cant carry, whatever i cant wear, whatever i cant bring with me, these are all forsaken.

late 2021, when i moved to taiwan, i took with me everything i owned in a single luggage. every time i face the possibility of leaving taiwan again, i start to get anxious about that single luggage, whether it is enough to fit all i have.

i currently have 78 pieces of clothing. apart from what i am wearing, the rest is all here. to the constantly moving (im)migrants, to have too many or too little clothes is a cause for anxiety. because i am afraid of the cold, so there are jackets. because i cannot do laundry weekly, so there are many pairs of underwear. these clothing choices hint at my lifestyle, my values, my way of life.
