My thoughts
跟男朋友一直是異地戀趣钱，即使到了現(xiàn)在要結(jié)婚的階段能改變這個事實的機率也不大挑辆。雖然大多數(shù)時候覺得現(xiàn)在交通感凤、通訊都這么發(fā)達乖阵，但偶爾還是忍不住要害怕分居兩地亮靴。今天讀到蘇東坡再次被貶，也是選擇和家人分居，只帶了朝云同去，突然又覺得得到了安慰侦副，好像異地也沒有想象中那么可怕侦锯。當然會不方便驼鞭，但對于此后幾十年的歲月來說，異地說不定是愛情更好的保鮮劑尺碰。其實也不能說到幾十年那么遠啦挣棕，只是最近幾年而已译隘。碰巧讀到這一點，感觸有點多洛心，忍不住寫下來了固耘。這大概就是閱讀的魅力吧。
當然蘇東坡盡管被貶词身，沒有實權(quán)厅目，卻仍然能用自己人格魅力感染周圍這些政策的制定者，從而真正地為百姓謀福利法严，這一點也讓我敬佩损敷。
