Reviews of Healthy Books for People Who Think Life Isn't Like It ✨

We've been dealing pretty well with relationships lately. 🥲

There are people we've always thought "this is my friend," but in certain situations, certain words that come out of his mouth or certain actions that he does to us, it becomes something we don't think we'll ever see from this person.

I admit it's very noid.

Like thinking back alone that

"Where are we wrong?"

"Why say that to us?"

"Or really, we shouldn't have expected it at all."

And we are people who like to read books. When the heart is not okay, they like to find books to heal themselves. 📚

Until I found this book... and it felt like I was slowly pulling myself out of a bad idea.

The favorite thing is that books don't teach people to hate others.

But teach to be more "kind to yourself."

We don't have to carry everyone else's words to ourselves.

There's no need to blame yourself for everything.

And sometimes... keeping your mind is as important as keeping a relationship.

I'm still sorry now.

But feel yourself slowly looking at everything lighter.

And embrace yourself again. 🤍

Anyone who is frustrated with a relationship or tired of something, find time to read a quiet book.

Maybe the ordinary words in the book will help Healy more than you think. 🌷🪷

✨✨ anyone who has tried to read it, let's share it. ✨✨

... Read moreในชีวิตนี้เราเชื่อว่าทุกคนต้องมีช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึกผิดหวังหรือเจ็บปวดกับความสัมพันธ์ไม่ว่าจะเป็นกับเพื่อน คนรัก หรือคนรอบข้าง เราเองก็เคยมีประสบการณ์แบบเดียวกัน ที่ได้เจอคนที่เคยคิดว่าเป็นเพื่อนแท้แต่กลับมีคำพูดหรือการกระทำที่ทำให้รู้สึกแย่จนทำใจไม่ได้ การอ่านหนังสือฮีลใจเล่มหนึ่งช่วยให้เราเห็นมุมมองใหม่ ๆ ว่าความรักหรือความสัมพันธ์ไม่จำเป็นต้องทำร้ายใจเราเสมอไป แต่มันคือโอกาสให้เราหันมารักและใจดีกับตัวเองมากขึ้น สิ่งที่ชอบมากในหนังสือเล่มนี้คือการสอนให้เราไม่ต้องแบกทุกคำพูดของคนอื่นไว้กับตัวเอง และไม่ต้องโทษตัวเองในทุกเรื่อง เพราะจริง ๆ แล้วการรักษาใจตัวเองก็เป็นเรื่องสำคัญไม่แพ้การรักษาความสัมพันธ์กับผู้อื่นเลย เราได้เรียนรู้ว่าการปล่อยวางคือของขวัญที่ดีที่สุดที่เราจะมอบให้ตัวเอง เพื่อไม่ให้ความทุกข์ทำให้เรานอยด์หรือเจ็บปวดมากขึ้น หนังสือใช้ภาษาที่ละมุน อ่านง่ายแต่เปี่ยมไปด้วยความคิดลึกซึ้ง และคำพูดธรรมดา ๆ เหล่านี้กลับสามารถสร้างพลังใจให้เรากลับมาเข้มแข็งและรู้สึกว่าทำดีที่สุดแล้วในแบบของเรา การอ่านหนังสือเงียบ ๆ สักเล่มในวันที่เหนื่อยล้าทางใจ เป็นเหมือนการปลอบโยนตนเองและเตือนใจว่าไม่เป็นไรเลยถ้าวันนี้เรายังไม่สมบูรณ์แบบ แค่รู้จักโอบกอดและใจดีกับตัวเองทุกวัน ก็ถือว่าเป็นชัยชนะครั้งสำคัญแล้ว ผมอยากชวนทุกคนที่กำลังเผชิญกับความเจ็บปวดในความสัมพันธ์ หรือกำลังรู้สึกนอยด์กับตัวเอง ลองเปิดใจอ่านหนังสือที่เน้นส่งเสริมการเยียวยาใจดูนะครับ มันอาจจะไม่ใช่คำรักษาที่วิเศษที่สุด แต่สำหรับผม มันคือเพื่อนที่ดีมาก ๆ ที่ช่วยให้ใจของเราค่อย ๆ แข็งแรงขึ้น และเปิดโอกาสให้เราได้รักตัวเองอย่างแท้จริงในวันที่ทุกอย่างดูเหมือนจะพัง

Who doesn’t love a book you can read in one sitting or at least over 24 hours?? Most of these books are literary fiction (i say most, i mean all but one) so you won’t see many fantasy or sci-fi elements here. But that doesn’t make them less good! I finally found my flavor of book once i started
