连续很多天都是天亮之后才睡觉。别人问我，你晚上不睡觉都在干嘛。我马上回答，写稿啊，书稿还没交呢。但其实，我一个字也没写。而之所以熬夜，也不过是因为心里有牵挂的人和未完成的事吧。

别人问你怎么还不睡，你说不困。其实熬夜很困，打个哈欠都会有眼泪流出来，只是心中一直有所期待，有所牵挂。就好像下一秒就会收到喜欢的人的消息，下一秒就能遇见一个惊喜。又或者，熬了太久却迟迟得不到自己想要的结果，渐渐的习惯了孤独。

为什么会熬夜呢，大概是因为白天的自己太理智，太冷漠，好像什么都不在乎。所以有些情绪和思念，心酸和不舍，是要留到深夜独自慢慢消化的。白天的自己和晚上的自己完全不是同一个人啊，白天口口声声说一定早睡，晚上却从来做不到。像失忆一样拿命熬夜，白天开开心心无忧无虑，晚上却忧郁的不行。白天觉得我最牛逼，晚上却变成世界第一大傻逼。

总觉得幸福的人是不用熬夜的，每天都有规律的生活，爱的人就躺在身边，现在过的是想要的生活，手里牵的是喜欢的人。

昨天有人问我，为什么你晚上不睡觉。

我想了很久，已经两三年没有在两点之前入睡过了。但我也说不清为什么，那个人突然给我发了一段话，我突然觉得，这是我熬夜的原因，也是很多人熬夜的原因。

你总是习惯熬夜，然后我也故意很晚都不睡。装作是和你一样睡不着，这样就可以和你聊很久，可是你都不知道其实我要困死了。后来你走了，熬夜的习惯却怎么都改不掉。

说片面点是熬夜，说实在点是失眠，说实话是想你。

你有没有过，为了陪一个人聊天，其实下一秒已经要睡着，但还是死抓着手机不肯睡。

你有没有过，因为一个人的一句话，明明很困却突然变得很清醒，开心和喜悦赶走了所有困意。

你有没有过，为了等一个人的晚安，不停的刷着朋友圈发着动态，其实只想让他看到你还没睡。

你有没有过，因为太思念一个人，每天都害怕深夜来临，害怕孤独，害怕寂寞，害怕牵挂的感觉。

我知道，你都有过。

可是，你每天这样熬夜，有人心疼你吗？

前天晚上一个作家姐姐突然发消息说，妹妹，钱是挣不完的，别累着自己，身体最重要。昨晚她发现我又在熬夜，给我发消息说，一定照顾好自己，莫名心疼你。

我很感动，又觉得很可笑。一个没见过面的人看你熬夜都会心疼，会劝你照顾好自己，但你每天熬夜想着的那个人，没给你发过一条消息。第一次见面的陌生人都会劝你少喝酒少抽烟，素不相识的微信好友都会让你早点休息，可你抽烟喝酒熬夜在等的那个人，从来都没在意过你，连一句晚安都没有。

我经常给别人讲道理，永远不要为了一个不爱你的人折磨自己。但这句话其实就像放屁，因为一旦爱上一个人，就没办法控制自己。我们在爱情里，从来都不是理性的。后来有人问我，怎么忘记一个人。

我说，把酒喝够，把烟抽完，把黑夜熬成天亮，等你真的感觉疼了，你就忘记了。不撞南墙不死心，大概就是这个道理。别人苦口婆心的劝说，其实你一点儿都听不进去。你害怕失去、害怕背叛、害怕从未拥有，你害怕的太多、心事太多，所以很难入睡。那你就熬吧，等熬过了这一阵，你又会觉得其实生活还是很美好。

你要记住，所有关于感情的问题，都不要在深夜做决定。无论分手还是牵手，无论坚持还是放弃。因为女人啊，从来都不是理性动物，再加上深夜里的一杯红酒，一根香烟，感性越发强烈。

五年前第一次听梁静茹的《问》，歌里唱，如果女人，总是等到夜深，无悔付出青春，他就会对你真。

那时候真的傻到相信，用心爱一个人，就能把他留在自己身边。现在才明白，在一起一辈子这种事，不是嘴上说了就可以。外面的诱惑这么多，人的欲望这么大，而你能给的爱，其实就这么多。

后来我经常说，如果爱一个人又不可得，那就找个爱自己的吧。别太累，别付出太多，别太委屈，你说你爱他所以无所畏惧，但你的感情和耐心其实就这么多，你无法永远输出。

总有一天它们会因迟迟得不到回应而枯竭。等到那一天你会发现，哪怕再遇到喜欢的人，也没有力气去喜欢了。
