35 years old. Near the shore, prepare to wave goodbye.

35 near the shore, prepare to wave goodbye.

----------------------------------

Gradually, age moves closer to 36.

Instead, I couldn't be more excited about growing up like a young person.

It doesn't feel like it's stepping into a new chapter of life.

There is no hope as beautiful as in the day when I still believe that the world will be kind to those who try hard enough.

There is only a certain silence that gradually builds up in the heart, the silence of those who have passed through the world long enough to realize that life is not always driven by hope.

Sometimes it's driven by "patience."

And many times it's driven just because we can't die.

35 years on the shore, preparing to wave goodbye sounds like a life sentence, but it is actually the faint sigh of a human who has been tired for too long to describe it in beautiful words.

I felt that my body was slowly deteriorating, that it was leaking out of my quiet life every day, that some morning just getting out of bed would take all the power left.

It resembles an old refrigerator that has worked its whole life without ever actually getting a break.

The machine sound was still loud, but the cold was not getting the same. The internal parts gradually wore away over time.

And surprisingly, old refrigerators are often the most dependent of the whole house, like the lives of some humans who spend their entire lives carrying others.

It's shelter, it's motivation, it's listening, it's carrying everyone's feelings quietly until one day when their hearts start to crack, they don't know where to put that pain.

Someone said

"Tomorrow morning, the east sunrise will be very beautiful. Wake up and see. Good morning energy."

But I don't think I have the strength to be patient enough to wake up early for a new beginning and enjoy the beauty of the sunrise for so long, not because I don't appreciate the beauty, but because my heart is too exhausted to touch it anymore.

A strong person might call it a new morning, but for some, it's just another day to try to survive.

And some kind of fatigue is not the fatigue that a night's sleep will heal. It is the fatigue of a person who has endured his whole life.

Tired of trying to be strong.

Tired of forced smiling

Tired of being an adult for everyone.

Both inside themselves were full of cracks.

I am not left to believe and have been hoping for tomorrow for quite a lifetime.

I used to think that desperate people were weak, but when I grew up,

I understand that the person who speaks this phrase is often the one who has hoped with all his heart.

Ever believed

Used to love

Ever faith

Used to be dedicated

Have been waiting

Until one day, disappointment gradually devoured the inner light.

Like a candle flame that doesn't go out in an instant, but slowly moths down in silence.

Life taught me that not all good is rewarded, not all love is fulfilled, not all wounds are healed, and not everyone is lucky enough to receive the tenderness of the world.

When disappointed enough, humans stop asking for miracles.

When enough is lost, humans learn to live with emptiness.

And when enough pain comes, we stop asking, "When will life improve?"

And start asking, "Can this day pass peacefully?"

36 years is not the age of perfection, but it is the age to see the truth of life clearly, and every human has a season of fall, flowers do not blossom all year long, the sea is not calm every day, the moon is still dark.

So why should humans be strong all the time?

Some wounds never heal. We just learn to live with it more calmly.

Some dreams never come back, but we can still drink water, look at the sky, listen to the rain, and live.

Some days aren't happy, but it doesn't mean meaningless.

Because ultimately, life may not require us to "win" everything.

But it may only require us to gradually learn to accept everything as a matter of fact, without hating ourselves, and without being too angry with the world.

The wind also blows through the sea. Even without anyone mentioning its beauty, the earth continues to spin silently and faithfully to its nature.

Like human life, finally.

We may not live to pursue perfection, not live to be the people the world remembers or the strongest.

But may live to learn that accepting the truth with a calm heart

Is a form of human courage.

And maybe when it comes to the age of seeing the end of life,

The most important thing may not be to ask, "How much time do we have left?

But to honestly ask ourselves, have we ever lived a gentle life with our hearts? "

... Read moreในวัย 35-36 ปี หลายคนเริ่มรู้สึกถึงความเปลี่ยนแปลงของร่างกายและจิตใจอย่างชัดเจน ซึ่งบางครั้งไม่ได้มาพร้อมกับความคาดหวังหรือความตื่นเต้นเหมือนในวัยรุ่น แต่กลับเป็นช่วงเวลาที่ต้องเผชิญกับความเหนื่อยล้าและความจริงของชีวิตที่ซ่อนอยู่ภายใต้ความเงียบสงัด จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมพบว่า หากเราสามารถเรียนรู้ที่จะยอมรับความเปลี่ยนแปลงและรู้จักดูแลหัวใจตัวเองอย่างอ่อนโยน ก็จะช่วยให้ผ่านช่วงเวลานี้ไปได้อย่างสงบสุขมากขึ้น ช่วงเวลาที่ดูเหมือนจะท้าทายและหนักหน่วง กลับกลายเป็นบทเรียนที่ทำให้เราแข็งแกร่งขึ้นในทางที่อ่อนโยน ไม่ใช่การเข้มแข็งแบบฝืนใจ การเปรียบเทียบชีวิตกับตู้เย็นเก่าที่ค่อยๆ เสื่อมสภาพตามกาลเวลานั้นสะท้อนถึงความจริงที่ว่า ทุกคนย่อมมีวันหมดแรงและต้องการการพักผ่อน ทั้งในด้านกายและใจ รวมถึงการที่เคยเป็นที่พึ่งพิงให้คนอื่นอาจทำให้เราลืมดูแลตัวเอง แต่ไม่เคยสายเกินไปที่จะเริ่มให้ความสำคัญกับตัวเองอีกครั้ง ในชีวิตประจำวัน ลองเปิดใจรับกับทุกความรู้สึก ทั้งความเจ็บปวด ความผิดหวัง และความเหนื่อยล้า เพราะนี่คือส่วนหนึ่งของการเติบโตที่ทำให้เราเป็นคนที่ลึกซึ้งและเข้าใจตัวเองมากขึ้น เราไม่จำเป็นต้องมีความหวังหรือฝันที่ยิ่งใหญ่เสมอไป บางครั้งการเดินผ่านวันหนึ่งไปอย่างสงบก็เพียงพอแล้ว สุดท้ายนี้ ผมอยากแนะนำให้ทุกคนที่กำลังรู้สึกเหนื่อยกับชีวิต ลองให้โอกาสตัวเองได้สัมผัสความงดงามที่เรียบง่าย เช่นการนั่งมองพระอาทิตย์ขึ้น ฟังเสียงธรรมชาติ หรือแม้แต่การหยุดพักเพื่อฟังเสียงหัวใจตัวเอง ความอ่อนโยนที่เรามอบให้ตัวเองเป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้เราเดินหน้าต่อไปอย่างมีความหมายและสงบมากขึ้นในทุกฤดูกาลของชีวิต
