I didn't find anyone. It's okay. I found myself.

5/13 Edited to

... Read moreการใช้เวลาทำความรู้จักกับตัวเองโดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาคนอื่นนั้นเป็นประสบการณ์ที่มีคุณค่าอย่างมาก ที่ผมได้เรียนรู้จากการเดินทางไปยังภาคเหนือของไทย และลองลิ้มชิมรสอาหารพื้นบ้านอย่างกาละแมโบราณเชียงคำ ข้าวเกรียบฟักทอง ถั่วเน่าไทลื้อ และแหนมเมืองเหนือ ซึ่งทั้งหมดนี้ไม่เพียงแต่มอบความอร่อย แต่ยังสะท้อนถึงวัฒนธรรมและวิถีชีวิตของชาวพื้นถิ่นอย่างลึกซึ้ง การได้ลองชิมขนมและอาหารเหล่านี้แต่ละอย่างทำให้ผมรู้สึกว่าการอยู่กับตัวเองเป็นสิ่งที่มีค่ามาก เพราะอาหารแต่ละจานเหมือนเป็นตัวแทนของเรื่องราวและภูมิปัญญาที่ส่งต่อกันมาเป็นรุ่น ๆ การไม่ต้องรีบร้อนหรือกังวลว่าจะต้องพบเจอใคร ทำให้ผมมีเวลาทำความเข้าใจตัวเองและใส่ใจกับสิ่งรอบ ๆ ตัวมากขึ้น ถ้าเราสามารถหันหลังให้กับความวุ่นวายและใช้เวลาอยู่กับตัวเองบ้าง อาจเป็นโอกาสที่ดีในการเติมเต็มทั้งร่างกายและจิตใจ บางครั้งการได้กินข้าวเกรียบฟักทองกรุบกรอบ หรือได้สัมผัสรสชาติแหนมนุ่ม ๆ ก็เหมือนกับการได้เติมพลังความสุขเล็ก ๆ ที่ช่วยให้ชีวิตมีความหมายและสมดุลมากขึ้น ขอแนะนำให้ทุกคนลองเปิดใจไปสัมผัสและค้นพบตัวเองในรูปแบบที่ไม่เหมือนใคร ผ่านอาหารและเสียงหัวใจของตัวเองดูครับ

getting myself out of seasonal depression ❤️‍🩹
i guess you can say, this funk was extra funkyyy and lasted much longer than the low seasons i've had in the past. fortunately, it wasn't so bad to where i stayed in bed all day, but it did get to the point where i had no motivation to do anything, and when i did take action, i felt numb.
