The thing that hurts us the most in love is not that someone doesn't choose us, but that we...

What hurts us the most in love

It's not that someone doesn't choose us.

But it is that we leave ourselves...

For someone to choose us.

Many people spend their whole lives

Try to be a better person.

Better than this.

More beautiful than this

More understanding.

More forgiving.

Because deep down, believe that

"If I'm good enough,

He will love me. "

But the painful truth is,

No matter how much you change yourself,

You can't force anyone to love you.

And the more you run after love,

The more reflection that inside still believes

"I'm not enough."

"I'm not worthy yet."

"I have to do something.

To be loved. "

Both true love

Never had to be exchanged by proving yourself.

Many people are not looking for the "right person."

But looking for

Someone who will make you feel valuable.

And that's why we're often attracted to the same relationships.

Come in over and over again.

Because the universe doesn't send people in.

According to what we want.

But send it in.

According to what we haven't healed,

Some people come in.

To let us see the wounds, the abandonment.

Some people come in.

To let us see the fear of rejection.

Some people come in.

So that we can see

We are trying to exchange love.

By losing yourself?

And the day you stopped running,

Stop chasing.

Stop trying to control who stays or goes.

Stop taking your own values.

To leave in the eyes of others

Something will change.

You'll start to be happy.

Even no one

You'll start to feel full.

Even no relationship yet.

You'll start to love yourself.

Without waiting for anyone to love first

And strangely...

When that day comes,

Yes love

Often walk in by yourself

It's not because you're attracted.

But because you've stopped running away from yourself,

Because in the end,

The greatest love

It's not for someone to choose you.

But is your date

"Choose yourself."

Without feeling guilty anymore.

If you're tired of a relationship today,

Waiting for someone to change

Or trying to prove yourself to be loved.

Maybe...

This could be the time you stopped running after love.

And then turned around.

Hug my heart

Again.

✨ Because the first person who should always choose you

Is "yourself."

😍

With love from the heart

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ฉันเคยเผชิญกับความเจ็บปวดในความรักที่เกิดจากการพยายามเปลี่ยนแปลงตัวเองเพื่อให้ใครสักคนยอมรับและรักเรา ซึ่งในตอนนั้นฉันรู้สึกเหมือนกำลังวิ่งแข่งเพื่อพิสูจน์คุณค่าของตัวเอง ความคิดที่ว่า "ถ้าฉันดีพอแล้วเขาจะรัก" ได้ผูกมัดทำให้ฉันทุ่มเททุกอย่างเพื่อคนที่ไม่เห็นค่าของฉันอย่างแท้จริง แต่แล้วก็มีวันที่ฉันตัดสินใจหยุดวิ่งตามความรัก และหันกลับมาดูแลและรักตัวเองก่อน ผมเริ่มเรียนรู้ที่จะเห็นคุณค่าของตัวเองโดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาความรักจากคนอื่น การปล่อยวางและยอมรับว่าความรักที่แท้จริงไม่สามารถบังคับได้ ทำให้หัวใจฉันสงบลง สิ่งสำคัญคือการเยียวยาบาดแผลทางใจที่ยังคงเกาะกุมอยู่ในตัวเรา เพราะจักรวาลมักส่งคนเข้ามาเพื่อให้เราได้เผชิญและเรียนรู้เรื่องเหล่านี้ บางคนเข้ามาเพื่อเผชิญหน้ากับความกลัวการถูกปฏิเสธ บางคนเพื่อเห็นบาดแผลจากการถูกทอดทิ้ง และบางคนก็สะท้อนให้เราเห็นความพยายามแลกความรักด้วยการเสียตัวตน เมื่อเราหยุดวิ่งหนีตัวเอง และยอมรับในทุกแง่มุมของชีวิต ความรักที่เหมาะสมจะเข้ามาเองโดยไม่จำเป็นต้องวิ่งไล่ตามอีกต่อไป เพราะความรักที่ยั่งยืนเริ่มต้นที่การเลือกรักตัวเองก่อนเสมอ นี่คือกุญแจสำคัญที่ทำให้เรามีความสุขแม้ในวันที่ยังไม่มีใครข้างกาย ดังนั้นถ้าคุณกำลังเหนื่อยกับการพยายามพิสูจน์ตัวเองเพื่อถูกรัก ลองหยุดและฟังเสียงหัวใจของตัวเอง มอบความรักและความเมตตาให้ตัวเองก่อน แล้วคุณจะสัมผัสได้ว่าความรักที่แท้จริงไม่ได้ต้องแลกด้วยตัวตนของเรา แต่คือการที่เรา "เลือกตัวเอง" อย่างมั่นคงและไม่รู้สึกผิดอีกต่อไป #minimstudio #ครูลูกหวาย #spiritualbusinesscreator #สังคมแห่งความรักและการแบ่งปัน

I get to choose who has access to me.
There was a time when I thought saying “yes” made me a good person. Yes to things I didn’t want to do. Yes to conversations that drained me. Yes to situations that disturbed my peace. But healing taught me something different. Protecting your peace isn’t selfish. Resting isn’t laziness.
