"I want to be with the person who loves me, not the person I love": So selfish!!!!!

"Hurt," I've been. "Crying," I've been. Eat alone. Go anywhere alone. Alone. Solve the problem alone. I've been all over.

What else am I afraid of today? When I've been through it, my heart is dead.

... Read moreการเลือกที่จะอยู่คนเดียวไม่ใช่เพียงเพราะความเหงานะครับ แต่บางครั้งมันคือการปกป้องหัวใจที่ผ่านร้อนผ่านหนาวมาแล้วหลายครั้ง ผมก็เคยผ่านช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึกเจ็บปวดที่ต้องเผชิญกับความรู้สึกโดดเดี่ยวเหมือนกัน คนเราอาจต้องร้องไห้และยอมรับความจริงที่ว่าไม่ได้อยู่กับคนที่เรารัก แต่ต้องอยู่กับคนที่รักเรา และนั่นอาจเป็นเรื่องยากเพราะใจเรายังผูกพันกับคนที่เราอยากจะรัก ความเหงาที่เกิดขึ้นมันเหมือนเป็นบททดสอบที่ทำให้เราแข็งแกร่งขึ้นมากกว่าเดิม เมื่อผ่านเรื่องราวเหล่านี้มา ผมได้เรียนรู้ว่า “ใจที่ตายด้าน” ไม่ใช่เรื่องแย่เสมอไป มันช่วยป้องกันไม่ให้เราต้องเจ็บปวดซ้ำซาก และในขณะเดียวกันก็เปิดโอกาสให้เราได้มองเห็นว่ามีใครสักคนที่พร้อมจะรักเราจริงๆ และนั่นคือความหวังที่ช่วยให้ใจยังคงมีแสงสว่างแม้ในวันที่มืดมนที่สุด บางทีการอยู่คนเดียวก็เหมือนการชาร์จพลังใจและตั้งมั่นที่จะใช้ชีวิตอย่างแท้จริง โดยไม่ต้องพยายามปรับเปลี่ยนตัวเองเพื่อให้ใครสักคนรัก ทุกอย่างเริ่มต้นที่รักตัวเองให้มากพอที่จะเข้าใจและยอมรับความรู้สึกของตัวเอง และเมื่อถึงเวลาที่เหมาะสม เราจะพบใครสักคนที่เข้ามาเติมเต็มความหวังและความผูกพันอย่างแท้จริงโดยไม่ต้องบังคับหรือรู้สึกผิดเลย ถึงแม้ชีวิตจะมีช่วงเวลาที่ว่างเปล่าและต้องการใครสักคนมาช่วยเติมเต็มความรู้สึก ความเข้าใจในตัวเองและความรู้สึกว่าการรักตัวเองเป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่สุด จะช่วยให้เราผ่านพ้นและเติบโตได้ท่ามกลางความเปลี่ยนแปลงในชีวิตอย่างมั่นคง

Be Selfish With Your Writing Time 𝜗𝜚
“Be selfish with your writing time.” I heard that years ago, and it stayed with me—not because it sounded harsh, but because it was honest. Writing asks for something rare: your attention, your quiet, your presence. And those things are fragile. They get interrupted, postponed, given away in

Does that make you selfish??
You should never have to beg for what you deserve. You should never have to beg for the bare minimum. And you certainly should never have to feel selfish for wanting the same effort that you’re already giving! HOW could that make you selfish?? If you are needing to fight for effort from someone

Would you call this selfish of me or fair ?
I have 2 credit cards that I never fully paid off (plus a few medical bills). And my husband has been helping me pay them down. 😅 i feels like it’s mostly fair cause he’s my man, and he’s the one who’s supposed to make sure we’re good on all aspects. If I need help, he’s supposed to support me.
