A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
不断地
Constantly

作为一个人,作为一个成年人,意味着不断地处于对立情绪的控制之中,每天都要调和明显冲突的紧张关系。我想要这个,但又需要那个。我珍视这一点,但我也热爱它的反面。

I had a mother I could only seem to please with verbal accomplishments of some sort or another. She read constantly, so I read constantly. If I used words that might have seemed surprising at a young age, she would recognize that and it would please her.
