Growing up doesn't always mean getting better.

5/12 Edited to

... Read moreเมื่อเราโตขึ้น หลายคนคงเคยคิดว่าสิ่งต่าง ๆ จะง่ายขึ้น แต่จากประสบการณ์ตรงกลับพบว่า ความเป็นผู้ใหญ่ทำให้ต้องเจอกับความรับผิดชอบและความกดดันที่มากขึ้น ในบางครั้งมีเงินมากขึ้นก็จริง แต่จิตใจกลับรู้สึกเหนื่อยล้ากว่าที่เคยเป็นมา ในชีวิตประจำวัน เราอาจหัวเราะหรือแสดงออกว่าดี แต่ลึกๆ แล้วกลับมีความรู้สึกที่ไม่โอเคและความเหนื่อยสะสมที่ซ่อนอยู่ เหมือนกับที่หลายคนรู้สึกว่า "โตขึ้นไม่ได้แปลว่าจะไหวขึ้นเสมอไป" เรื่องนี้ทำให้ฉันต้องเรียนรู้วิธีการรับมือกับความรู้สึกด้านลบและคนรอบข้างที่อาจเป็นข้อจำกัดของตัวเอง เช่น คน toxic ที่สร้างพลังลบให้ สิ่งสำคัญที่ได้เรียนรู้คือ การให้ความสำคัญกับตัวเองและยอมรับว่าการประคองตัวเองให้ผ่านวันไปได้ก็ถือว่าเป็นความสำเร็จหนึ่ง การรู้จักพักผ่อน เติมพลังใจ และหาสิ่งที่ช่วยเยียวยาจิตใจเป็นเรื่องจำเป็น เพราะไม่มีใครบอกเราว่าการเติบโตจะง่ายและสวยงามเสมอไป สำหรับใครที่กำลังรู้สึกเหนื่อยหรือเครียดกับชีวิต แม้จะโตขึ้นแล้ว อยากแนะนำให้ลองพูดคุยกับเพื่อนหรือคนใกล้ชิด เปิดใจแชร์ความรู้สึกและขอคำแนะนำ เพราะการได้ระบายและได้รับการสนับสนุนสามารถช่วยคลายความเครียดได้มาก การเติบโตเป็นกระบวนการที่ต้องใช้เวลาและความเข้าใจตัวเอง ซึ่งมันไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราจะต้องไหวในทุกเรื่องเสมอไป การยอมรับข้อจำกัดและดูแลจิตใจจึงสำคัญมาก

missing them doesn’t mean you should go back 🤍
Healing isn’t always loud. Sometimes emotional healing looks like missing someone… but still choosing yourself. It’s learning to sit in your own space, finding inner peace, and realizing that letting go doesn’t mean you didn’t care— it means you’re growing. You can miss them and still m
