"We start with strangers. And sometimes...We ended up like that. "

Good afternoon. I hope everyone's range will go well. ✨

Today we want to invite everyone to think and settle down on a little dramatic.

But I believe that almost everyone must have met...

Why people who used to be "everything" can become "strangers" again. 💔

From the original book, 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think.

It is strange that we can eventually turn people who were once the whole world into strangers.

This article invites everyone to explore the painful fact that

When a relationship ends, how do we "force" ourselves to forget and leave them behind?

By the author has raised questions that reflect the hearts of us all:

- Can we ever really forget an ex-lover's birthday?

- Will the day that used to mean the two of us really turn out to be one ordinary day?

- Will the promises that were previously given really expire, or just stay in the memory that we choose to ignore?

This article tells us that the ending of a relationship and becoming a stranger again does not mean that the love it once had is worthless, but because when two people love each other, they are like chemicals that react to each other, and each person changes irreversibly. The wounds left sometimes are too painful to return to.

A person's life is like a small universe orbiting another person's universe. This collision can cause us to collapse, change, or fuse together, but in the end, whatever the outcome, we all grow up. We learn the meaning of love, pain, and emptiness.

We start as strangers, and often we do not choose to make one another a stranger. Separation is inevitable, but the story that happens along the way is important because it changes our identity forever.

For anyone who is going through this painful time, we ask everyone to learn something from this relationship and grow beautifully. 🌷

Have a good day. ✨

Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การที่เราต้องเผชิญกับคนที่เคยเป็นทุกอย่างของเรา กลับกลายเป็นคนแปลกหน้าอีกครั้งนั้นเป็นเรื่องที่ยากจะยอมรับอย่างมาก ช่วงเวลาที่ผ่านไป ความทรงจำเก่า ๆ ที่เคยมีความหมายกลับกลายเป็นเรื่องธรรมดา หรือบางครั้งเราก็ลืมวันสำคัญ ๆ ของกันและกัน แม้จะรู้สึกเจ็บปวด แต่ก็เป็นกระบวนการธรรมชาติที่ช่วยให้เราก้าวต่อไปได้ ฉันเองเคยลองเขียนบันทึกความรู้สึกในช่วงเวลานั้น เพื่อช่วยให้ใจสงบและเข้าใจตัวเองมากขึ้น การทบทวนคำสัญญาเก่า ๆ หรือการปล่อยวางความรู้สึกเจ็บปวด ก็ช่วยให้เราค้นพบความหมายใหม่ ๆ ของความรักและตัวตนที่เปลี่ยนแปลงไป อย่าไว้ใจคนแปลกหน้าเสมอไป แต่มองว่าคนที่เคยรักกันนั้นคือบทเรียนชีวิตที่ช่วยหล่อหลอมเราให้เป็นคนใหม่ที่แข็งแรงและรู้จักรักตัวเองมากขึ้น สุดท้ายแล้ว แม้เราจะจบลงเหมือนคนแปลกหน้า แต่ความทรงจำดี ๆ และบทเรียนจากความรักครั้งนั้น จะอยู่กับเราเสมอ และช่วยให้ในอนาคตเราพร้อมสำหรับความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีกว่าเดิม

People look at addicts and act like they’ve solved the mystery of who we are. They hear the word addict and suddenly they think they know everything—lazy, selfish, irresponsible, dangerous, untrustworthy. It’s amazing how quickly a single label can erase an entire human being in someone else’s mind

I never thought we would make it.
From the outside, it looked like we were still holding on… but behind closed doors, we were drifting. Two people living side by side, but slowly becoming strangers. Pride got louder. Love got quieter. And selfishness… it was sitting in the center of everything. We both wanted to be heard…
