# I choose myself✨

"The day she stopped feeling guilty... was the day she was free."

In this world... there are many people using

"Guilt" is a control tool.

Unknowingly.

If she doesn't do what someone wants,

She'll be made to feel "she's wrong."

If she chooses her own path,

She'll be made to feel "she's selfish."

And when you feel guilty...

She'll start devaluing herself.

In exchange for acceptance from someone else.

_ _ _ _ _

But the truth is...

That's not love.

Love... never makes her feel herself

"Not good enough."

Love... never coerced her.

Who must it be to please who?

Loving yourself

Not wayward.

But to "dare to leave the game.

Of control. "

Dare to say,

"I chose my own life."

Without feeling guilty.

Because every time she allows anyone to control her through guilt,

She's telling the subconscious that

"I'm still not worthy of being myself."

_ _ _ _ _

But the day she started choosing herself...

Even it feels scared.

Even though it's like losing

Something goes.

Actually,

She's "getting herself back."

_ _ _ _ _

And when she gave up controlling the others,

Stop judging other people.

Stop expecting anyone to be what she wants.

She will find a new kind of freedom.

Freedom of the heart that doesn't have to prove anything.

With anyone else

_ _ _ _ _

True self-love

Is to stand in yourself.

Mildly.

And open up space for both you and everyone else.

Was the way he was.

And then that day,

True love

Will flow to her...

Without any force. 🌙

_ _ _ _ _

✨ If this post is reflecting something,

In your heart...

Try asking yourself today that...

"I'm living with love...

Or to avoid guilt? "

And if you're ready to come back and choose yourself,

Type the words "I choose myself."

Under this post to announce to the universe. 💫

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน หลายครั้งที่เรารู้สึกว่าถูกบีบคั้นให้ต้องทำตามความคาดหวังของคนอื่น จนบางครั้งก็ตัดสินใจด้วยความรู้สึกผิดที่ฝังลึก กลายเป็นกรงขังที่ रोकเราไม่ให้เป็นตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง ฉันเองเคยประสบกับสถานการณ์เช่นนี้มาก่อน และเข้าใจดีว่าความรู้สึกผิดสามารถทำลายความสุขและความมั่นใจในตัวเองได้อย่างไร แต่เมื่อเริ่มเรียนรู้ที่จะรับรู้และเข้าใจความรู้สึกนั้น พร้อมทั้งตัดสินใจเลือกตัวเองโดยไม่หวั่นไหวกับเสียงวิจารณ์ภายนอก ทุกอย่างก็เริ่มเปลี่ยนไป ความกลัวแรกเริ่มที่เหมือนเป็นอุปสรรค ไม่ได้เป็นสิ่งที่ต้องหลีกเลี่ยง แต่เป็นสัญญาณเตือนให้รู้ว่าเรากำลังออกจากพื้นที่ปลอดภัยเพื่อค้นพบความเป็นตัวเราอย่างแท้จริง สิ่งที่สำคัญคือการเปิดใจและให้อภัยตัวเองในวันที่รู้สึกผิดพลาด และอย่าปล่อยให้ความรู้สึกผิดกลายเป็นเครื่องมือในการควบคุมตัวเองหรือคนรอบข้าง เมื่อเลือกที่จะรักตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง เราจะเห็นว่าความรักที่ไม่ต้องพิสูจน์ ไม่ต้องแข่งขัน และไม่ต้องแลกเปลี่ยนด้วยความทุกข์ ทำให้จิตใจเราเบาและสงบขึ้นมาก ฉันจึงอยากแนะนำว่า สำหรับใครที่กำลังรู้สึกสับสนหรือกำลังต่อสู้กับความรู้สึกผิด ลองถามใจตัวเองด้วยคำถามง่ายๆ ว่า "ฉันใช้ชีวิตนี้ด้วยความรัก หรือเพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงความรู้สึกผิด?" การรู้จักรักและเลือกตัวเองไม่ใช่การเห็นแก่ตัว แต่คือการให้คุณค่าและเคารพในตัวตนของเราอย่างแท้จริง สุดท้าย การเลือกตัวเองคือการประกาศต่อจักรวาลว่าคุณพร้อมจะเป็นเจ้าของชีวิตของตัวเอง กล้าที่จะบอกลาความทุกข์ที่เกิดจากการถูกควบคุมด้วยความรู้สึกผิด และต้อนรับอิสรภาพที่แท้จริงที่จะทำให้ชีวิตมีความหมายและสวยงามในแบบของเราเอง
