Sometimes we give the wrong person the best version.

A letter to a woman who has been through the world.

This is not a space for people who still need drama to assert their worth.

But a space for a woman who has learned that peace has a price to pay and is willing to pay for it.

If you've ever lost, been broken, been quiet, and got up quietly without applause,

These words are written to you.

Don't follow if you don't feel anything, but if your heart stops reading longer than usual, you're in the right place.# Letters to myself # lemon 8 diary # Single women # Love yourself in this version

3/2 Edited to

... Read moreในชีวิตจริง ฉันเองก็เคยอยู่ในจุดที่มอบความรักและความตั้งใจให้กับคนที่ไม่เห็นค่าของเรา เหมือนกับชื่อเรื่องที่ว่า 'บางครั้งเราก็มอบ เวอร์ชั่นที่ดีที่สุดให้ผิดคน' การเรียนรู้ที่จะรักตัวเองแบบไม่หวังผลตอบแทนเป็นบทเรียนที่สำคัญมาก เมื่อเราเจอความผิดหวังหรือความสัมพันธ์ที่ไม่สมดุล เราอาจรู้สึกแพ้หรือพัง แต่การที่เรายังเงียบและลุกขึ้นมาได้เองโดยไม่ต้องการเสียงปรบมือ นั่นคือความแข็งแกร่งและความสงบที่มีค่า พื้นที่นี้ เหมือนกับเป็นจดหมายที่ส่งถึงผู้หญิงที่ผ่านโลกมาแล้ว เข้าใจเรื่องของความเจ็บปวดและการเรียนรู้ที่จะปล่อยวางดราม่าเพื่อรักษาคุณค่าและความสงบภายในใจ เราไม่จำเป็นต้องยืนยันความมีค่าของตัวเองโดยการสร้างดราม่า เพราะความสงบและการรักตัวเองในเวอร์ชั่นที่เป็นจริงของเรานั่นแหละคือสิ่งที่ล้ำค่า ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวของฉันคือ การเผชิญหน้ากับความล้มเหลวหลายครั้ง แต่การได้หยุดพักและฟังเสียงหัวใจตัวเอง คือจุดเปลี่ยนที่ทำให้ฉันรักตัวเองแบบไม่มีเงื่อนไข ฉันเริ่มเรียนรู้ว่าการรักตัวเองไม่ได้หมายความว่าจะต้องสมบูรณ์แบบ แต่คือการยอมรับและให้อภัยตัวเองในทุกเวอร์ชั่นที่เราเป็น จากตรงนี้ ฉันได้พบกับความสงบที่มีค่ามากกว่าคำพูดใดๆ 'Morning Cale' ในบทความนี้เหมือนเป็นสัญลักษณ์ของการเริ่มต้นวันที่ดีในเวอร์ชั่นของตัวเอง ที่แม้จะผ่านอะไรมา ก็ยังมีความสงบและความรักให้ตัวเราเอง ทุกคนที่ได้อ่านจดหมายนี้คงจะเข้าใจว่าการรักตัวเองและรักษาความสงบในใจนั้น เป็นสิ่งที่ต้องแลกมาด้วยความกล้าที่จะปล่อยวางและก้าวไปข้างหน้าอย่างมั่นใจ

Sometimes God lets you date the wrong person - not to punish you, but to prepare you.
He lets you see what love is not, so you'll recognize what it is. He lets you feel the weight of compromise, so you'll value alignment. He lets you taste heartbreak, so you'll learn dependence on Him. The wrong person can still point you to the right lessons. #relatable #christiantiktok
