50 so what?

By the age of 50, life wasn't a matter of

"What do you want" anymore?

🌿, but it became a matter of

"What can be let go?"

🍃 from before, like to buy things you want.

Now start looking at "unnecessary" stuff.

Then gradually clear the house

From before, I wanted to know a lot of people.

Now know that...Just a few people understand. That's enough.

This age doesn't need loud applause.

But wanting a night of sleep without thinking

We'll start to love more silence.

Started to like sipping coffee alone on holiday mornings.

Start listening to the same music that was listened to in adolescence.

Then accidentally smiled out unaware

Some might think...

"The 50s are the legs down."

But I think...It's the age we know.

"Walk down the hill beautifully" over.

Because we're not in a hurry.

Just keep walking like someone who already knows that.

"Life doesn't have to win everything."

Finally...

The age of 50 doesn't change us to get older, but it really changes us to "understand enough."

... Read moreถ้าพูดถึง “วัย 50 รัก สนุก นัดเจอ ใกล้ๆ” สำหรับเรา มันไม่ใช่การเริ่มใหม่แบบตื่นเต้นสุดๆ เหมือนวัย 20 แต่เป็นการเริ่มแบบใจนิ่งขึ้น เลือกมากขึ้น และรู้จักคำว่า “พอ” มากขึ้นจริงๆ 1) นัดเจอใกล้ๆ ให้สบายใจ: เลือกสถานที่ที่คุมบรรยากาศได้ เราเริ่มจากการนัดเจอที่ใกล้บ้านหรือใกล้ที่ทำงาน เช่น ร้านกาแฟเงียบๆ ตอนเช้าวันหยุด หรือคาเฟ่ในห้างที่เดินทางง่าย เหตุผลคือถ้าคุยแล้วไม่คลิก เรากลับบ้านได้ไว ไม่ต้องฝืน และยังรู้สึกปลอดภัยกว่า การเจอใกล้ๆ ทำให้เดตไม่ต้อง “อลังการ” แค่มีช่วงเวลาที่ได้พูดคุยจริงๆ ก็พอ 2) ทำให้เดตสนุกแบบวัย 50: ไม่ต้องหรู แต่ต้องมีความหมาย ความสนุกของวัยนี้คือกิจกรรมที่ไม่เหนื่อยและไม่ต้องแข่งขันกัน เราชอบนัดเดินตลาดเช้า ดูหนังรอบบ่าย หรือไปเดินเล่นดูวิวช่วงพระอาทิตย์ตก (บรรยากาศแบบท้องฟ้าสีส้มๆ มันช่วยให้ใจนุ่มขึ้น) บางทีแค่นั่งฟังเพลงเดิมๆ ที่เคยฟังสมัยวัยรุ่น แล้วแลกกันเล่าว่าเพลงนี้พาเรากลับไปช่วงไหนของชีวิต ก็กลายเป็นเดตที่อบอุ่นมาก 3) คุยยังไงให้ไม่อึดอัด: ใช้คำถามเบาๆ แต่ลึก สิ่งที่ช่วยคือถามเรื่อง “ชีวิตตอนนี้” มากกว่า “อดีตที่ต้องตัดสิน” เช่น - ช่วงนี้คุณชอบใช้วันหยุดทำอะไร? - ถ้ามีเวลาว่าง 2 ชั่วโมง คุณอยากทำอะไรที่สุด? - คุณให้ความสำคัญกับความสัมพันธ์แบบไหนในวัยนี้? คำถามแนวนี้ทำให้รู้จังหวะกันเร็ว และไม่กดดัน 4) ตั้งขอบเขตแบบไม่เสียมารยาท วัย 50 เรารู้แล้วว่า “ชีวิตไม่ต้องชนะทุกเรื่อง” รวมถึงไม่ต้องชนะใจใครด้วย ถ้าอีกฝ่ายเร่งความสัมพันธ์หรือชวนไปที่ส่วนตัวเร็วเกินไป เราจะพูดตรงๆ แต่สุภาพ เช่น “เราขอค่อยๆ ทำความรู้จักนะ ขอเริ่มจากเจอในที่สาธารณะก่อน” คนที่เหมาะกับเรา จะเคารพจังหวะนี้ 5) สัญญาณว่าควรไปต่อ (หรือพอแค่นี้) ไปต่อ: คุยแล้วสบายใจ นอนหลับได้ ไม่ต้องคิดมาก ไม่ต้องพยายามเป็นคนที่เราไม่ใช่ พอแค่นี้: ต้องเดาความรู้สึกตลอด รู้สึกผิดบ่อย หรือเหนื่อยกับการพิสูจน์ตัวเอง ท้ายที่สุด วัย 50 ยังรักได้ สนุกได้ และนัดเจอใกล้ๆ ได้แบบมีคุณภาพกว่าเดิม เพราะเราไม่ได้ต้องการเสียงปรบมือดังๆ แล้ว แต่อยากได้ความสัมพันธ์ที่ทำให้ใจสงบ—เข้าใจคำว่า “พอ” และเดินไปเรื่อยๆ อย่างสวยงาม
