Learn when you grow up. The world doesn't let us be us.

# Grow up and know that

Sometimes being "myself" isn't as easy as it seems.

Society still judges people from their external image.

It doesn't reflect anyone's abilities.

Want to do hair color

As a child told me to wait to grow up

When I grow up, I tell you to wait for college.

When I was in college, I told you to wait to graduate.

After graduation, he said,

"Look botched, inappropriate, disrespectful."

So I can't help wondering

So when does it have to be?

That we will do what we really want to do.

Hair color does not diminish the ability.

A small tattoo just doesn't make anyone a bad person.

But why the previous generation or even the house?

You have to question, judge.

It doesn't look good, it doesn't look neat, or it's hard to find a job.

We never hate ourselves.

But sometimes having to explain yourself repeatedly

Let others understand.

It makes us start to get tired.

With having to be yourself too

/ / Grow up and know that

Maybe the hardest thing

Not being yourself.

But it is to be yourself in a society that is not ready to accept us.

... Read moreในชีวิตของหลายคน รวมถึงตัวผมเอง การได้แสดงความเป็นตัวเองอย่างเต็มที่นั้นไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย เพราะแม้เราจะรักและยอมรับตัวเองแล้ว แต่สังคมรอบข้างก็ดูเหมือนยังไม่พร้อมจะยอมรับในสิ่งที่เราเลือก บางครั้งต้องคอยปรับตัวหรือจำใจซ่อนตัวตนที่แท้จริงเพื่อไม่ให้ถูกตัดสินหรือถูกปฏิเสธ ผมเองชอบทำสีผม และมีรอยสักที่ออกแบบเอง ซึ่งทุกครั้งที่ทำ ผมรู้สึกมีพลังงานและมั่นใจขึ้นมาก สีผมเปรียบเสมือนการเติมเต็มความสดใสและความเป็นตัวเองของผม แต่ต้องเผชิญกับเสียงวิจารณ์จากคนรอบข้าง ซึ่งทำให้บางครั้งเริ่มคิดสงสัยว่า สิ่งที่เรารักนั้นผิดหรือไม่ หรือมันจะเป็นอุปสรรคในการหางาน ทำให้ผมเหนื่อยกับการต้องอธิบายและยืนยันตัวเองอยู่เสมอ ผมได้เรียนรู้ว่าการเป็นตัวเองนั้นไม่ใช่แค่การเลือกแต่งตัวหรือเปลี่ยนสีผมเท่านั้น แต่ยังรวมถึงการยืนหยัดในความเชื่อและความรู้สึกของตัวเอง แม้จะอยู่ในสังคมที่ยังไม่ยอมรับก็ตาม ผมเข้าใจว่ามันยาก แต่อยากให้ทุกคนที่อ่านบทความนี้รู้ว่า การรักและยอมรับตัวเองเป็นกุญแจสำคัญที่จะทำให้เราใช้ชีวิตอย่างมีความสุข แม้ว่าสังคมจะยังคงมีกรอบและข้อกำหนดที่ไม่เอื้ออำนวยก็ตาม สุดท้ายนี้ ผมอยากบอกว่าอย่าปล่อยให้ความคิดของคนอื่นมาขีดเส้นชีวิตของเรา สีผม รอยสัก หรือการแต่งตัว ไม่ได้บ่งบอกความสามารถหรือศักดิ์ศรีของเราเสมอไป ลองก้าวออกมาเป็นตัวเองอย่างมั่นใจและภาคภูมิใจ เพราะโลกจะเริ่มเปิดใจรับเรามากขึ้นเมื่อเราไม่หยุดแสดงความเป็นตัวของตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง
