: We don't have to be the version anyone wants.

Sometimes we try too hard.

Trying to be someone who's not us.

Just to please someone.

Until forgetting to ask myself

Like this... can we?

.

We may be tired because we don't live our way.

But live the way "it should be."

According to the ambient sound

.

Forget it.

With expectations that make our hearts heavy

Forget it.

With words that say that we are not enough

.

We don't have to be the version anyone wants.

We just have to be a comfortable version of ourselves.

.

The Crying Version

An incomplete version.

The version being learned

Gradually growing version

.

Maybe the guts in life

Not to make everyone accept

But is to accept yourself.

.

We don't have to be better.

No better than this.

To have the right to be happy.

.

Just be us.

In a way that doesn't require force.

That's enough. 🧡🌿

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ตรงที่ผมเคยพบเจอมา การพยายามเป็นคนที่ไม่ใช่ตัวเองเพียงเพื่อตอบสนองความคาดหวังของคนอื่น มักนำมาซึ่งความเหนื่อยล้าและความไม่สบายใจอย่างยิ่ง ผมเคยพยายามปรับเปลี่ยนตัวเองในแต่ละสถานการณ์ เพื่อให้คนรอบข้างยอมรับ เช่น พยายามแกล้งทำเป็นแข็งแรงทั้งที่ในใจรู้สึกอ่อนแอ หรือพยายามทำตามสิ่งที่สังคมคาดหวังโดยไม่ถามตัวเองก่อนว่าเราพอใจไหม ซึ่งท้ายที่สุดแล้ว นอกจากจะทำให้หมดเรี่ยวแรงแล้ว ยังรู้สึกสูญเสียตัวตนที่แท้จริงไปด้วย สิ่งที่ผมเรียนรู้จากประสบการณ์นี้คือ ความกล้าที่จะยอมรับตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง ตรงนี้นี่แหละคือความเข้มแข็งที่แท้จริง เมื่อเราให้สิทธิ์ตัวเองที่จะร้องไห้, ยอมรับความไม่สมบูรณ์, และเรียนรู้จากความผิดพลาด เราก็สามารถเติบโตขึ้นได้อย่างแท้จริงและมีความสุขมากขึ้นโดยไม่ต้องฝืนใจ ผมจึงอยากแนะนำว่า อย่าพยายามแข่งกับใครในแบบที่ไม่ใช่ตัวเรา แต่จงตั้งใจเป็นเวอร์ชันที่เราสบายใจที่สุด เพราะความสุขที่ยั่งยืนและความสำเร็จที่แท้จริงมาจากการที่เราเชื่อมโยงกับตัวเองก่อน นอกจากนี้ การสร้างพื้นที่ปลอดภัยให้กับตัวเอง เช่น การหาเวลาทำกิจกรรมที่รัก หรือการพูดคุยเปิดใจกับคนที่เราไว้ใจ ก็ช่วยให้เราไม่หลงลืมตัวตนและรักษาสมดุลชีวิตได้ดีขึ้นด้วย สุดท้ายนี้ การยอมรับว่าเราไม่จำเป็นต้องเพอร์เฟกต์ หรือถูกใจทุกคน เป็นสิ่งที่ช่วยปลดปล่อยความกดดันและนำมาซึ่งความสงบในใจที่แท้จริง มาร่วมเป็นเวอร์ชันที่ดีที่สุดของตัวเองด้วยใจที่เปิดกว้างและรักตัวเองให้มากขึ้นกันเถอะ
