To...The one who didn't come home on holiday.

Sometimes... not coming home on a big day.

Doesn't mean "don't love family."

But it means, "We're trying to balance life in a way no one can see." * *

Many people think...

Big day to go home

The festival day must be with the family.

Public holidays must be fully reunited.

But in real life -

It's not always that simple.

Some people have jobs.

Some have duties.

Some people have problems at home don't know.

Some people have lovers who won't go along.

Someone has to be with someone because they don't want him alone.

And some people... are forced to choose anything

The truth is... important days do not measure "the value of children."

We didn't return on the big day.

Doesn't mean we don't love

Doesn't mean we don't miss

Doesn't mean we don't care about our parents.

Because sometimes...

Love is not reflected by "What day do we go?"

But from "the real intention, the time we get there."

Go on a normal Sunday

Go day, no one cares

To the day the house didn't organize anything.

To a day without ceremony. No relatives. No noise.

Back like that...

Perhaps better than going back to the tide of the world telling us to go back on "big days."

We're not bad people.

We're just one human being who's organizing life realistically.

Our lives are not the same.

The duties are not the same.

The burden is not the same.

The heart is not the same.

People outside may see that "not coming home on the big day = wrong."

But actually,

A family that really loves us will understand that there is more to life than a calendar day.

Sometimes... we don't choose between family and lover, but we just choose not to be alone.

We care about him

He doesn't want to go.

We are uncomfortable

We want to divide the body.

We want to be with our family.

But we also want to be with people who love

Because he was afraid that he was alone

This is not "selfishness."

But it is humanity that wants everyone to be comfortable together.

And sometimes...

It was totally impractical.

Well, have to choose.

Even if you don't want to choose at all

Extension

To...People who don't come home on holiday (You're not a bad child...You're just fighting life.)

Many people think...

Big Day = Must Be Ready Face

Holiday Festival = Gotta Go Home

If not, come...It means changing. It means not loving.

But in the reality of adult life,

"Love...It's not as easy to handle as a calendar. "

1. We do not escape...We're just "organising life."

Some people can't get jobs on leave.

Some people are addicted to debts that need to be cleared. (Festival travel costs are expensive)

Someone's stuck in the middle...Between a loving family and a lover who doesn't want to leave him alone.

We want to divide the body...But we're just one human being.

2. Appreciation...Not measured at "day."

Not returning to the boiling red days of the calendar.

Doesn't mean your childhood is diminishing.

Love does not measure "what day did you go?"

But measure it at "the second you get there...How much you care about them. "

3. Going home on a weekday...Could be more meaningful.

Went on the day the car didn't stick

Went on a day without having to compete for each other

Go on the day we are ready to talk to our parents for a long time without rushing back to work.

Like that...Probably even better charging each other.

To...A good person who is feeling guilty.

Don't blame yourself for doing everything to please everyone at the same time.

You're not selfish...You're just taking on multiple roles as best you can.

The family that really loves us...He'll understand.

"His child is not gone...Just growing and building a life in its own way. "

No matter what day...If each other

That's always the family's big day. 🤍

# Not home, not love # Heal heart # Salary man # Relationship # Grateful children# Family day

"Good baby. Didn't come home on the calendar...But back when ready will give you 100% full time and feeling. "

"Don't judge gratitude...Just because he doesn't check in at home on holidays, people's lives always have a 'backyard' that can't be told to anyone. "

"Sometimes...We didn't choose between family and boyfriend...We just choose not to leave anyone alone (but it can't be done at the same time) "

"Not going home doesn't mean 'forget'...But it means that life is too heavy to really lay hands on. "

"Love is not a matter of 'days'...It's a matter of 'attention'...Go find a weekday, but hug tighter than the festival day is the same meaning. "

"We're not bad children... we're just too responsible to do everything at once in one day."

"Love is not a matter of days... but of intentions, of times we reach."

"Sometimes not coming home on a big day doesn't mean not loving, it means life is too busy for others to understand."

"A good child doesn't come home by day... but when the heart says it's ready to give it a full time."

"We're not missing... we're just trying to complete every role in life."

You're not a bad person.

You're just the one carrying so many things at once.

Until having to choose the best way for all parties at the time and the love of the family....

It was never measured with "day."

But measured by "your sincerity."

No matter what day it goes,

"Not back to...Doesn't mean no love.

But because of real life...It's harder than just keeping a day on the calendar. "

... Read moreการที่เราอยู่ห่างจากบ้านในวันหยุดหรือวันสำคัญหลายคนอาจรู้สึกผิดหรือโดนดูถูกว่าไม่รักครอบครัว แต่ความจริงแล้ว การไม่กลับบ้านไม่ได้แปลว่าไม่รัก ไม่ได้แปลว่าไม่คิดถึง หรือไม่แคร์ใครเลย แต่อาจเป็นเพราะสถานการณ์ชีวิตที่ซับซ้อนและมีภาระที่ต้องรับผิดชอบ ในชีวิตจริง มีหลายครั้งที่คนเราต้องรับบทบาทหลายอย่างพร้อมกัน ทั้งงานที่ไม่สามารถลางานได้ ภาระทางการเงิน หรือแม้แต่ความสัมพันธ์ที่ต้องดูแลคนที่รักโดยไม่อยากให้เขาอยู่ลำพัง ความรักในครอบครัวจึงไม่ได้วัดด้วยวันปฏิทิน แต่เป็นความจริงใจและความตั้งใจที่แสดงออกเวลาที่เรากลับไปพบกันจริงๆ การกลับบ้านวันธรรมดา ไม่ได้มีเสียงดังหรือกิจกรรมสมมุติที่ยิ่งใหญ่ อาจจะดีที่สุดสำหรับบางครอบครัว เมื่อคนในครอบครัวมีเวลาคุณภาพที่ได้พูดคุยและใช้เวลาด้วยกันอย่างสงบ แบบที่วันสำคัญอาจจะทำไม่ได้ เพราะความเร่งรีบและความวุ่นวาย ถ้าคุณรู้สึกผิดที่ไม่ได้กลับบ้านในวันหยุด นั่นไม่ใช่ความผิดของคุณ หยุดโทษตัวเองได้เลย เพราะคุณคือคนที่แบกหลายความรับผิดชอบอย่างดีที่สุดที่เป็นไปได้ ครอบครัวที่รักและเข้าใจ จะรู้ว่าคุณไม่ได้หายไปไหน คุณแค่พยายามเติบโตและสร้างชีวิตของตัวเองในแบบของคุณ สุดท้ายแล้ว "ความรักไม่ใช่เรื่องของวัน แต่มันคือเรื่องของความใส่ใจ" ไม่ว่าจะวันไหน ขอให้ใจยังคงถึงกัน นั่นแหละคือวันสำคัญของครอบครัวเสมอ #ไม่ได้กลับบ้านไม่ใช่ไม่รัก #ฮีลใจ #มนุษย์เงินเดือน #ความสัมพันธ์ #ลูกกตัญญู #วันครอบครัว
