Sometimes we don't need miracles.
We just need someone to say... that we've been great in the past.
There was a phase of life.
That we may not have cried.
Not fuming
Didn't call for comfort.
We still go to work
Still smiling at others
Still replied, "It's okay."
Deep down.
The heart is tired until there is almost no strength to explain that
What are we actually?
Some days we don't want advice.
Didn't want anyone to say that
"Fight, fight."
Because the word fight
Sometimes it's so heavy.
For those who have fought for so long that they almost forgot that
I myself used to have days without fighting.
But if you were there today...
I want you to look at this picture.
The phoenix on one side.
With the serpent on the other side.
One representative of the new rise.
Another representative of a calm and deep force.
They're not fighting.
But they're orbiting.
Like saying
"Life is not just a side we have to be strong in.
And there's not just a side where we're weak.
Both are in us at the same time. "
We could be people who look very strong in other people's eyes.
Is the man in charge.
Work hard
Take care of things yourself.
Rarely requests help.
Until those around you think
"This one already survives."
But no one knows
The one who looks the strongest.
Sometimes there are quiet seat nights.
And ask yourself,
"When will life be kind to us?"
And maybe the answer didn't come immediately.
Life doesn't always send someone to help.
Didn't have a miracle happen every time we requested it.
Sometimes the only thing life gives us
Is the ability to get up the next morning.
One day at a time.
Like the Phoenix in the picture.
It was not reborn because it was never burned.
But it's reborn.
Because it's been through fire
And this is probably something we've always misunderstood.
We used to think
Strong people are people who never break down.
But actually,
Strength could be
Broke and won't let himself break forever
You can cry.
Sorry
Can be disappointed
Miss some people
Too bad some things
And can still choose to walk
These two things don't contradict each other.
In the middle of the picture is Yin Yang.
White is not complete without darkness.
And black is not without light.
In the dark, there is a small point of light.
In the light there is a shadow of darkness.
Like our lives
Best day.
There may be hidden fears.
The worst day.
Well, maybe something's growing quiet.
Some of the things we used to think were defeats.
One day turned out to be a lesson.
Someone we used to think would stay with us forever.
Turns out to be the one who taught us our own values.
Some doors closed.
Probably not closed because we're not good enough.
But maybe closed.
Because that path is not where we should live forever.
And sometimes...
Retreat
Not surrender.
It is self-selection.
If today you are feeling
Myself is priceless.
Feel that life is slower than others.
Not enough money
The job is not as it hoped.
Relationships are still exhausting.
The dream is still far away.
Don't just judge yourself from
"The point where you stand today."
Because you don't start from scratch.
You've traveled a lot further than that.
The scars are
A mistake that ever happened.
The day that used to cry
The day I made the wrong decision
The day I used to love the wrong person
The day that once trusted the wrong person
The day I used to feel I wasn't good enough.
All of that doesn't impair you.
It is evidence that
You've actually lived your life.
The serpent in the picture does not have a hasty stance.
It slowly moves through the ring.
Gracefully.
Maybe our lives are like that.
There's no need to rush as much as everyone else.
There's no need for a house before him.
Have money before him
Succeeded before him.
Or have a good-looking life like anyone else in the online world.
Each tree does not flower at the same time.
Some trees bloom in the rainy season.
Some trees wait for winter
Some trees take years to have their first flowers.
But no tree is wrong just because
It's not yet its own season.
You, too.
If today your heart shrinks
If you're discouraged,
If you're feeling
"I've tried a lot, but why isn't it anywhere?"
I want you to rest first.
Don't rush.
No rush, strong.
Do not hurry to have an answer
Just breathe.
And gently tell yourself,
"I'm still here."
This is enough for today.
Because sometimes
Victory does not lie in reaching the destination.
But that's where we
Still won't leave yourself on the way.
And if one day you look back at yourself in the past,
You may never see that vulnerable person again.
You'll see one person.
That went through a lot of things.
But still working
Still responsible for life
Still trying to find a better future.
Still dare to love
Still dare to retreat from things that do not suit themselves
Still dare to dream
And also try to rebuild their own lives time and time again.
Then you might understand
Phoenix isn't gorgeous because it's never burned.
It's gorgeous.
Because after the fire,
It also chose to fly.
And the serpent is not elegant.
Because it never goes through darkness.
But it's elegant.
Because it knows
Darkness is not the end of the story.
It's just part of the journey.
So...
If you're not there today,
It's okay.
If you're still tired today,
It's okay.
If you were still crying today,
Well, that's fine.
But don't say to yourself,
"I have no way to go."
Because maybe...
You may not be helpless.
You're just too tired.
Until you can't see the way forward.
Take a break.
Then continue walking
You don't have to fly high today.
Just keep the little fire in mind.
Because as long as that fire doesn't go out,
Your story is not over.
And maybe...
The best chapters of life
Probably not even started. 🪽🐉✨
ในชีวิตจริง ผมเชื่อว่าหลายคนผ่านช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึกเหนื่อยล้าและอยากให้ใครสักคนยืนยันว่าเราสู้มาดีแล้วเหมือนกันครับ ไม่ใช่ทุกคนที่ต้องการคำแนะนำหรือเสียงเชียร์ เพราะบางครั้ง "สู้" ก็กลายเป็นภาระหนักที่ทำให้เรารู้สึกต้องพยายามต่อไปจนลืมดูแลใจตัวเอง ภาพนกฟีนิกซ์ที่เกิดใหม่จากเถ้าถ่าน และพญานาคที่เคลื่อนตัวอย่างสง่างาม เป็นภาพแทนแง่มุมของความแข็งแกร่งในแบบที่ไม่เหมือนกัน บ้างก็เป็นการฟื้นขึ้นหลังผ่านความเจ็บปวด บ้างก็เป็นพลังที่สงบนิ่งรอเวลาที่เหมาะสม ความจริงที่เราไม่ค่อยพูดคือ เราไม่จำเป็นต้องเข้มแข็งตลอดเวลาเสมอไป เราสามารถมีความเปราะบางได้โดยไม่เสียค่าอะไร ประสบการณ์ชีวิตสอนผมว่า การเลือกพัก เมื่อรู้สึกว่าเหนื่อย ไม่ใช่การยอมแพ้ แต่เป็นการรักษาตัวเองเพื่อพร้อมลุกขึ้นอีกครั้งเหมือนฟีนิกซ์ และพญานาคที่ไม่รีบเร่งเดินทาง การเดินหน้าช้า ๆ แต่มั่นคงมีคุณค่ามากกว่าการเร่งรีบตามคนอื่น โลกไม่จำเป็นต้องเห็นความสำเร็จอย่างเดียว เพราะบางครั้งความสำเร็จที่เหนือกว่า คือความสามารถที่จะยังรักษา "ไฟเล็ก ๆ" ในใจให้ยังคงลุกโชน ผมอยากชวนทุกคนมองย้อนกลับไปดูเรื่องราวของตัวเอง ถอดรอยแผลที่ผ่านมา เห็นน้ำตาและความผิดพลาดเป็นบทเรียนและหลักฐานของความจริงใจที่ได้ใช้ชีวิตเต็มที่ เพราะนั่นคือการเดินทางของเรา ที่ไม่ต้องเหมือนใคร และในวันหนึ่งเมื่อเรามองกลับไป จะพบว่าตัวเองกลายเป็นคนใหม่ที่แข็งแกร่งขึ้นในแบบที่แตกต่างออกไป มิตรภาพและการแบ่งปันความรู้สึกในช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบากช่วยได้มากครับ การได้ฟังและพูดออกมาโดยไม่มีคำตัดสินใจทำให้หัวใจเบาลง บทความนี้จึงเหมือนเสียงสะท้อนของหลาย ๆ คน ที่อยากบอกว่าคุณไม่ได้เดินคนเดียว
