The philosophical novel "Lost."..EP3 Good, good bye

There was one day.

I just realized

My life now.

Not empty at all.

I have love.

Not the kind of love to wait for.

Not the kind of love that needs to be questioned.

But it's the love that's always been here.

Be quiet.

And stable.

I have friends.

There are people who are still

Without me trying to be anyone else.

I have a family.

There is a mother's voice calling to eat.

Voices that have been heard every day.

But just really understood the meaning of it today.

There is a elder who bought snacks.

Without any particular reason.

Unless he just walks by and thinks of me.

Have a friend to travel

There's the word "Happy Birthdays."

Ordinary words

That never had to ask.

And never wonder if it's true.

-

It was then.

That I began to accept sincerely.

That

Maybe.

I may never be liked.

Maybe even from the first day.

That fact.

Didn't break me up like before.

It's just

Put yourself down quietly.

Like the last piece of truth.

That's back in its place.

-

I didn't forget all of a sudden.

I just let go.

Little by little.

Watch some movies

Listen to some music

Sit with yourself

There's no grand ceremony.

"I'm fine today."

There's only one ordinary day.

I realized

I don't cry when I eat anymore.

Didn't cry at work

Didn't cry when the pack of

And didn't cry before bed.

-

Silence.

Not as cruel as it was anymore.

It became just

Silence.

-

I always thought,

If he wants to win me,

He would have gotten that.

Has been gone for a long time

But today,

I'm starting to understand something.

It doesn't matter then whether he wins or loses.

Because what I got back

It's not him.

But is

My life.

Life

That still has the voice of mother calling to eat

There's still candy on the table.

Still have friends

There's still laughter.

And still have my heart

That, despite ever falling apart,

But still choose

To love the world again.

... Read moreในชีวิตจริง การเผชิญหน้ากับความรู้สึกสูญเสียหรือความผิดหวังในความรักนั้นเป็นสิ่งที่หลายคนต้องพบเจอ แต่สิ่งที่สำคัญคือวิธีที่เรารับมือและยอมรับมันอย่างสงบและเข้าใจเหมือนเนื้อหาในนิยายปรัชญาเรื่องนี้เอง หลายครั้งที่เราคิดว่าชีวิตเราว่างเปล่าและขาดความรักแท้จริง แต่เมื่อถอยกลับมามองรอบตัว จะเห็นว่าความรักไม่ได้มีแค่ความรักในรูปแบบโรแมนติกเพียงอย่างเดียว แต่ความรักจากครอบครัว เพื่อน หรือแม้แต่ความรักที่เงียบสงบในตัวเอง ก็เป็นส่วนเติมเต็มชีวิตที่มีค่าอย่างยิ่ง จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การปล่อยวางความคาดหวังและไม่ยึดติดกับความสัมพันธ์ที่ไม่ใช่ของเรา ทำให้ชีวิตกลับมามีความสงบ ความเงียบไม่ใช่ความโหดร้ายแต่เป็นพื้นที่ให้เราชำระจิตใจและเติมพลังใหม่ แม้บางครั้งเราจะรู้สึกว่าต้องปล่อยวางอย่างค่อยเป็นค่อยไป แต่เมื่อถึงวันที่เราสามารถอยู่กับตัวเองได้อย่างสงบ วันนั้นก็เหมือนกับวันที่เรากลับมารักชีวิตของตัวเองอีกครั้ง คำว่า “Good bye” ในเรื่องนี้จึงไม่ได้หมายถึงการจากลาอย่างเจ็บปวด แต่เป็นการส่งต่อและโอบรับความจริง และเลือกเดินหน้าด้วยใจที่เข้มแข็ง พร้อมรับความรักที่แท้จริงและชีวิตที่ยังสวยงามรอเราอยู่เสมอ
