"Love is not to pretend to be someone so that someone loves us."

🌈 Defining love.# 01

"Love is not to pretend to be anyone.

For someone to love us. "

Maybe the best thing in a relationship

Probably not trying to be the perfect person.

But it could be meeting someone.

That makes us brave as ourselves

What about you...

"What is love?"

Happy Pride Month 💜

... Read moreในช่วงเวลาที่เราก้าวเข้าสู่เดือน Pride Month สิ่งหนึ่งที่ผมพบว่ามันมีความหมายมากคือการได้เห็นและยอมรับความรักในทุกแง่มุมอย่างแท้จริง ความรักไม่ได้หมายถึงการต้องเปลี่ยนแปลงตัวเองเพื่อให้คนอื่นพึงพอใจ แต่คือการได้เป็นตัวเองอย่างเต็มที่ในความสัมพันธ์นั้นๆ ผมเคยรู้สึกกังวลและพยายามที่จะเป็นคนที่แตกต่างจากตัวเอง เพื่อให้คนรักรู้สึกประทับใจ หรือเพื่อให้รักตอบกลับมา แต่เมื่อเวลาผ่านไป การที่ได้เจอคนที่ทำให้ผมกล้าแสดงตัวตนอย่างซื่อสัตย์ กลับเป็นความสุขที่แท้จริงมากกว่าการแสร้งทำอะไรทั้งสิ้น ความรักแบบนี้แหละที่ผมคิดว่าเป็นนิยามของคำว่า "ความรักคือการไม่ต้องแกล้งเป็นใครเพื่อให้ใครสักคนรักเรา" เพราะเมื่อได้พบคนที่ยอมรับในตัวตนเราทุกด้าน ความสัมพันธ์ก็จะมีความมั่นคงและลึกซึ้งยิ่งขึ้น นอกจากนี้ ในบริบทของ Pride Month ที่เราร่วมเฉลิมฉลองความหลากหลายทางเพศและความรักที่ไร้ขอบเขต การได้แลกเปลี่ยนประสบการณ์และเรื่องราวของความรักหลากรูปแบบ ทำให้ผมเข้าใจว่าความรักแท้จริงไม่มีข้อจำกัด และทุกคนควรได้รับโอกาสเป็นตัวเองอย่างเสรีในความรักของเขา สุดท้ายนี้ ผมอยากชวนทุกคนให้กล้าที่จะรักตัวเองและคนอื่นในแบบที่เป็น คือความรักที่แท้จริงที่ไม่ต้องแกล้งอะไร เพราะในความจริงใจและตัวตนที่แท้ จะช่วยให้เราได้พบความสุขและความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีอย่างแท้จริง

How long should you wait for someone to be “ready”
Sometimes love feels like the timing test no one talks about. I know he loves me, but I’m at a point where I need clarity not just comfort. It’s hard to admit when your version of “forever” doesn’t match someone else’s pace. I keep asking myself… how long do you wait before realizing love should

PART 1: 12 THINGS PEOPLE PRETEND DO NOT AFFECT THEM ⚠️(Read twice & Comment)
✨ Most people are stronger than they look. But very few people are unaffected. ✨ Some wounds do not leave visible scars. Yet they shape how people think, feel, trust, and connect with others. 💭 Being ignored. Being excluded. Being compared to others. Being taken for granted.
