🍋🍋You can be selfish. You don't have to smile when you're tired.👇

☺️ stop being kind to others.

Until heartless to myself

We give too much.

Too patient.

Understand others too much.

Until forgetting to ask my heart that

"Are we still ok?" 🥰

Some selfish.

No need to smile when tired ☺️

Do not force even if hurt 🥹

Don't be a good person on a broken day. 💔

Choosing yourself

Not selfishness.

But it's a heart treatment.

Before it's not strong enough.

Will be kind to anyone again

Be kind to yourself today.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ของผมเอง ผมเห็นว่าการเห็นแก่ตัวในแบบที่บทความนี้พูดถึง คือการเอาใจใส่ตัวเองอย่างแท้จริงมากกว่าคำว่าเห็นแก่ตัวแบบลบ ที่หลายคนเข้าใจผิด เรามักทรมานใจและร่างกายเมื่อพยายามใจดีหรืออดทนกับผู้อื่นมากเกินไป โดยเฉพาะเรื่องเล็กน้อยที่สะสมจนเรารู้สึกหมดแรง ทำให้บางครั้งแม้จะอยากยิ้มแต่ก็ยิ้มไม่ไหว หรือรู้สึกเหมือนต้องฝืนทั้งที่อ่อนล้าอย่างมาก ผมจึงอยากแนะนำว่า การตั้งขอบเขตให้ตัวเอง เช่น บอกปฏิเสธเมื่อต้องการพักผ่อน การสงวนสิทธิ์ไม่รับภาระเกินตัว หรือแม้แต่การให้เวลากับตัวเองเพียงลำพัง ก็คือการรักษาใจตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง ไม่ใช่ความเห็นแก่ตัว แต่เป็นการเติมพลังที่จำเป็นเพื่อให้ได้กลับไปใจดีกับคนที่เรารักอย่างมีคุณภาพ การถามตัวเองบ่อยๆ ว่า "เรายังไหวไหม" เป็นคำถามที่สำคัญมาก เพราะถ้าเราไม่ถาม เราก็มักจะลืมใจตัวเอง แล้วปล่อยให้ความเหนื่อยล้าทั้งใจและกายสะสมจนกลายเป็นปัญหาสุขภาพในระยะยาว เมื่อเรามีแรงใจที่ดีจากการให้ความสำคัญกับตัวเองก่อน เราก็จะมีกำลังใจและเปี่ยมไปด้วยพลังบวกในการดูแลความสัมพันธ์กับคนอื่นอย่างแท้จริง และในวันที่จิตใจพัง ก็ยังมีความเข้มแข็งที่ได้จากการดูแลตัวเองก่อนนั้นคอยพยุงให้เราสามารถก้าวข้ามช่วงเวลายากๆ ไปได้ สุดท้าย ผมอยากชวนให้ทุกคนลองใจดีกับตัวเองบ้างอย่างน้อยสักวัน เพื่อให้หัวใจได้หายเหนื่อย ได้พัก และได้ปลอดภัยจากความอ่อนล้าจากการทนใจดีกับผู้อื่นมากเกินไป เพราะการรักตัวเองไม่ใช่เรื่องผิด แต่เป็นความจำเป็นที่ช่วยให้เราสามารถยิ้มได้อย่างมีความสุขจริงๆ

A handwritten note on lined paper defines 'Selfish' as prioritizing one's own needs without regard for impact, driven by ego. 'Selfless' is defined as prioritizing others' needs with compassion, often at personal cost. The image introduces 'Self-full' as the middle ground: honoring your needs while caring for others.

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

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

Self-care isn’t selfish as a woman because we are constantly pouring into everyone and everything around us. Our families, our jobs, our relationships, our homes. Somewhere along the way, we’re taught that rest has to be earned and that doing something just for ourselves is a luxury. It’s not. I
