I like it, but maybe still✨

Sometimes life is funny here...

Well, we push to meet someone who really matches the 😍

Everything is yes, face, personality, habit, talk and enjoy, heart pounding everywhere near

Until my friend said, "Well, this one is yours!"

But weird that...

Instead of jumping fully on it, we stood backwards and told ourselves,

"Maybe not yet," 🫠

Why?

Because the truth is... We are not afraid that he will be bad.

We're not afraid he's not.

But we're... more afraid of regret than 💔

Afraid that if you try to open up, everything is not what you think.

Afraid that he would love wholeheartedly and become the most hurt

Afraid that every specific relationship will become a lesson for us to pick up later.

So it's not about "he's not."

It's "We're not ready to hurt again."

The specification is good, but it's not enough.

What we really need is confidence that we don't have to cry.

Because in the end, the most exact people lose to the fear of our hearts. 🥲

... Read moreในชีวิตความรัก เรามักเจอช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึกว่าคนที่เราพบเจอนั้นเหมือนถูกออกแบบมาเพื่อเรา ทั้งรูปลักษณ์ บุคลิก และนิสัยที่เข้ากันได้ดีจนเพื่อนหรือคนรอบข้างชี้ชัดว่าคนนั้นคือคู่แท้ของเรา แต่แม้ทุกอย่างจะดูสมบูรณ์แบบ กลับเกิดความลังเลที่มาจากความกลัวอย่างลึกซึ้งภายในใจ นั่นคือความกลัวการเจ็บปวดและความเสียใจที่เคยประสบมาก่อน ความกลัวนี้ไม่ได้แปลว่าคนที่เห็นตรงสเปคไม่ดีหรือไม่เหมาะสมกับเรา แต่เป็นสัญญาณของความไม่พร้อมทางอารมณ์ที่จะเปิดใจให้เต็มที่ ความสัมพันธ์อาจจะสวยงามแค่ภายนอก แต่เราต้องการความมั่นใจว่าหากเปิดใจแล้วจะไม่ต้องเผชิญกับความผิดหวังซ้ำอีก ซึ่งเป็นเรื่องปกติของมนุษย์ที่ต้องการปกป้องหัวใจตัวเอง การรับมือกับความกลัวนี้ควรเริ่มจากการเรียนรู้ที่จะฟังตัวเองอย่างจริงจัง สังเกตว่าเรากลัวอะไรและเพราะเหตุใด บางครั้งการพูดคุยกับคนที่ไว้ใจ อาจช่วยให้เห็นภาพความรู้สึกได้ชัดเจนขึ้น นอกจากนี้การให้เวลาและโอกาสกับตัวเองในการเยียวยาหัวใจจะทำให้เราแข็งแกร่งกว่าที่คิด แทนที่จะเร่งรีบเปิดใจออกไป ให้ลองมีความสัมพันธ์แบบค่อยเป็นค่อยไป สร้างความสัมพันธ์บนพื้นฐานของความเข้าใจและความเคารพซึ่งกันและกัน พร้อมทั้งมีข้อตกลงเรื่องการสื่อสารที่ชัดเจน จะช่วยลดความกังวลและเสริมสร้างความมั่นใจในความรักได้อย่างเหมาะสม ในที่สุด "ความตรงสเปค" อาจเป็นเพียงจุดเริ่มต้นในการรู้จักและเข้าใจคนรัก แต่สิ่งสำคัญยิ่งกว่าคือความพร้อมของใจเราที่จะไปต่อด้วยความมั่นใจและความแข็งแรงทางอารมณ์ ดังนั้นการพัฒนาตัวเองทั้งในด้านความรู้สึกและจิตใจจึงเป็นกุญแจสำคัญที่จะเปิดประตูสู่ความรักที่สวยงามและยั่งยืนในอนาคต

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?

I didn’t want to admit it at first. I was in a relationship technically I wasn’t alone, right? But I felt lonelier than I ever did when I was single. The conversations became dry. The laughs became forced. The hugs started to feel like obligation, not comfort. I remember one night lying besid
