If you can still cry... then your heart still feels 🤍

Many people try to be strong.

Try not to cry

Try not to show weakness.

Try to act like you don't feel anything.

Until sometimes thinking that

"Crying is weakness."

But actually...

Tears have never been a sign of weakness. 🌿

It is the language of the heart.

The language that says

We still feel

Still love

Still hope

And also a human being.

😢 if you can still regret it.

Show that you still have important things in life that mean something to you.

🥹 if you can still appreciate it.

So you still see the little splendor around you.

❤️ If you can still love someone,

Show that your heart is also open to warmth and good relationships.

🌷 if you can still sympathize with others.

Show that you still have the tenderness that the world needs.

✨ And if you can still cry,

So you're still a human being with a heart.

People who never regret it.

Probably not the strongest.

But people who accept their own feelings

It's really brave.

So if you have tears today,

Don't rush to blame yourself.

There's no need to force a smile all the time.

There's always no need to pretend it's okay.

You can cry.

Can rest

And slowly take care of your heart one day at a time. 🤍

Because as long as you still feel

That means your heart is really alive. 🌷

... Read moreหลายคนอาจเคยถูกสอนให้คิดว่าการร้องไห้เป็นสัญญาณของความอ่อนแอ หรือเป็นเรื่องที่ควรจะฝืนซ่อนความรู้สึกไว้เพื่อดูเข้มแข็ง แต่ถ้ามองในมุมกลับกัน ความรู้สึกและน้ำตาที่ไหลออกมากลับเป็นเครื่องพิสูจน์ว่าคนๆ นั้นยังคงมีหัวใจที่อบอุ่น ยังมีความรักและความหวังซ่อนอยู่ภายในใจ จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การที่เราอนุญาตให้ตัวเองร้องไห้ ไม่ได้แปลว่าเราอ่อนแอ แต่เป็นการเปิดทางให้หัวใจได้ปลดปล่อยสิ่งที่กลัดกลุ้มออกมา ซึ่งส่งผลดีต่อสุขภาพจิตและความรู้สึกของเรามากกว่าการเก็บกดความรู้สึกไว้เพียงลำพัง เมื่อก่อนตอนที่ผ่านช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบาก ผมเองก็พยายามฝืนตัวเองไม่ให้ร้องไห้ เพราะกลัวว่าคนอื่นจะมองว่าอ่อนไหวหรือไม่เข้มแข็ง แต่เมื่อเลิกฝืนและยอมรับว่าการร้องไห้คือการตอบสนองทางธรรมชาติของหัวใจ กลับพบว่าตัวเองรู้สึกดีขึ้นและสามารถก้าวผ่านความเจ็บปวดได้รวดเร็วขึ้นมาก นอกจากนี้ น้ำตายังเป็นเครื่องหมายที่แสดงให้เห็นว่าเรายังใส่ใจสิ่งรอบตัว ยังเห็นความงดงามแม้ในความทุกข์ และยังมีความเห็นอกเห็นใจผู้อื่นอีกด้วย การกล้าร้องไห้และแสดงความรู้สึกที่แท้จริงจึงเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของความกล้าหาญที่แท้จริง สิ่งสำคัญที่สุดคือ อย่าให้ตัวเองรู้สึกผิดหรืออายเวลาที่ร้องไห้ จงกอดตัวเองและให้โอกาสหัวใจได้พักผ่อนและรักษาตัวเองทีละนิด เพราะความอ่อนโยนและการยอมรับในตัวเองนี่แหละที่จะช่วยให้เรามีความสุขและเข้มแข็งในระยะยาวได้จริงๆ ดังนั้น ถ้าคุณยังร้องไห้ได้ นั่นหมายความว่าคุณยังเป็นมนุษย์ที่มีชีวิตและมีความรู้สึกอย่างแท้จริง และนั่นคือสิ่งที่สวยงามที่สุดที่คุณควรภาคภูมิใจ

Grieving the loss of someone who’s still alive
Losing someone important to you due to their own choices can be one of the most difficult experiences any human could endure. The sheer part of letting go is the hardest. Why would you let go of someone that’s still there? Doesn’t that show YOU’VE given up? Or maybe you agree to the choice as well?

This image describes how the Divine Feminine leads with emotion, feeling connections through intuition, heart knowing, energetic sensitivity, and emotional recognition, sensing bonds immediately.
The image explains that the Divine Masculine leads with logic, processing connections through reflection, analysis, and lived experience, understanding bonds only after careful consideration.
Why the DF Feels the Connection First & then DM
Feminine energy recognizes soul bonds instantly. Masculine energy grows into them consciously. Two different processes, one shared awakening. Which timeline do you resonate with? #TwinFlameJourney #DivineUnion #DivineFeminine #DivineMasculine #TheDivineAcademy
