Sometimes... effort is more exhausting than love.

Sometimes... effort is more exhausting than love.

Ever?

Seeing someone... just him.

Someone came to love and paid attention.

He didn't have to try to call.

Don't try to make anyone see

Don't try to go anywhere to accidentally meet.

But I felt

My love, it's full of the word "try."

Try to talk

Trying to be the focus.

Try to make him choose us

And ask yourself,

Effort with people's hearts... is there an end?

Some people get our hearts easy.

Without him trying anything.

But the question is,

Will he heal our hearts?

Will he take care of it like we take care of him?

If he's not serious,

May I pass?

I don't want whiz love.

I need someone serious.

People who improve themselves.

Someone who's ready to be a "safe space."

On the day I was tired of the whole world,

There may not be anyone today.

Maybe just a passerby came in.

But I believe

The rhythm of life will bring people who are really ready for themselves.

The day he came in,

I hope

I'm still smiling.

Still beautiful in your own way

And haven't always forgotten to love yourself first. 🤍

... Read moreในช่วงเวลาที่เราเหนื่อยกับการพยายามที่จะรักษาความสัมพันธ์หรือดึงดูดความสนใจจากใครสักคน หลายคนอาจรู้สึกเหมือนตัวเองต้องวิ่งไล่ตามความรักที่ไม่แน่นอนและไม่มีคำตอบชัดเจน สิ่งที่ผมอยากจะสะท้อนจากประสบการณ์ของตัวเองคือ ความรักไม่ควรเป็นภาระหนักที่ทำให้เรารู้สึกเหนื่อยเกินไป ผมเคยอยู่ในจุดที่ต้องพยายามมากๆ เพื่อให้ใครสักคนเห็นค่าและสนใจเรา แต่ในที่สุดก็ต้องกลับมาถามตัวเองเหมือนกันว่า ความพยายามเหล่านี้คุ้มค่าหรือเปล่า และสิ่งที่สำคัญคือคนที่เราให้ใจไปนั้น ดูแลและเกื้อกูลใจเราหรือเปล่า สิ่งที่ช่วยให้ผมผ่านช่วงเวลานั้นมาได้ คือการเริ่มเปลี่ยนมุมมองจากการพยายามให้คนอื่นรักเรา มาเป็นการรักและดูแลตัวเองก่อน เพราะเมื่อเรารักตัวเองจริงๆ แล้ว เราจะกลายเป็นคนที่มั่นคงและน่าสนใจโดยธรรมชาติ ซึ่งช่วยดึงดูดคนที่พร้อมจะเข้ามาร่วมเดินทางในชีวิตเดียวกันอย่างจริงใจ นอกจากนี้ การมีพื้นที่ปลอดภัยในความสัมพันธ์ เป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญและลึกซึ้งกว่าความหวือหวา ความมั่นคงทางใจที่เกิดจากคนที่พร้อมจะเติบโตไปด้วยกัน ช่วยให้รู้สึกเหนื่อยน้อยลงและเปลี่ยนความพยายามเป็นความสุขได้มากขึ้น ผมยังเชื่อว่าทุกคนมีจังหวะชีวิตของตัวเองและในเวลาที่เหมาะสมเราจะเจอคนที่พร้อมจะจริงจังและดูแลเราอย่างแท้จริง ในระหว่างนั้น การมอบความรักและความสำคัญให้กับตัวเองคือสิ่งที่ไม่ควรมองข้าม เพราะมันคือพลังที่ทำให้เรายิ้มได้และพร้อมรับมือกับทุกอย่างที่เข้ามาอย่างเข้มแข็งและสวยงามในแบบฉบับของตัวเอง

Awareness is a start.Acceptance is the goal
As we bring Disability Awareness, Autism Awareness, and Occupational Therapy Month to a close, it’s worth remembering that awareness is only the starting point—not the destination. Awareness opens the door, but understanding, empathy, and acceptance are what actually keep it open in everyday life.

A sunset landscape with text overlay: 'Sometimes, I smile. I show up. I answer texts. I say "I'm fine" — even when I feel like I'm barely holding it together. Not because I'm trying to lie... but because I don't want to burden anyone with how not fine I actually am.'
