光棍節(jié)將至，每年到了這一日，無數(shù)單身男女都在為“脫光”而發(fā)愁。小編想說，其實單身沒什么好怕的，反而應(yīng)當(dāng)趁著年輕，好好享受這段珍貴的時光，不信，看看我們熟識的那些明星作家們是怎么說的：

When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings. - Elizabeth Gilbert
這些天以來，我孤獨的時候會想：孤獨就孤獨吧，利茲。摸清孤獨周圍的路，做一張地圖，好好跟孤獨相處吧，這可是你從來沒試過的。歡迎前來體驗人生。不要再用別人的身體或感情來填補自己內(nèi)心的空虛了。——伊利莎白·吉爾伯特
