"I'm still there, even when no one can see."

Some nights.

I sat with silence.

So quiet that I heard my heart ask

"Are we still ok?"

No one knows what I've been through.

No one saw how I held back my tears.

To make a new morning seem normal.

I'm not always strong.

I just don't have a choice.

Unless you have to stay.

And have to propel yourself through tonight.

If no one hugs today,

I'll hug myself.

If no one understands today,

I won't blame myself anymore.

Just still breathing

Just this... is enough for today.

... Read moreในชีวิตจริง ฉันเคยมีหลายคืนที่นั่งอยู่กับความเงียบ แม้จะไม่มีใครเห็นหรือรู้ว่าฉันกำลังเผชิญอะไรอยู่ แต่เสียงหัวใจภายในได้ถามตัวเองเสมอว่า "เรายังไหวไหม" การดูแลตัวเองในช่วงเวลาที่ไม่มีใครกอดหรือไม่มีใครเข้าใจนั้นไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย แต่ฉันพบว่าการยอมรับความรู้สึกของตัวเองและไม่โทษตัวเอง เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้ผ่านพ้นความยากลำบากไปได้ การกอดตัวเองเป็นวิธีที่ฉันใช้เพื่อสร้างความอบอุ่นใจในวันที่เหงา หรือเมื่อไม่ได้รับการสนับสนุนจากใคร การหยุดพัก ให้เวลากับตัวเอง และสังเกตความรู้สึกเป็นสิ่งที่ช่วยให้รู้สึกไม่โดดเดี่ยว ถึงแม้จะเป็นแค่การยังหายใจ แต่เป็นเครื่องยืนยันว่าฉันยังมีชีวิต และนั่นก็เพียงพอสำหรับวันนี้ ข้อความจากบทความนี้ส่งแรงบันดาลใจว่า การไม่เข้มแข็งตลอดเวลานั้นเป็นเรื่องปกติ และไม่มีใครต้องเข้มแข็งตลอดเวลา ความเปราะบางและการยอมรับว่าตัวเองก็มีช่วงเวลาที่อ่อนแอ เป็นสิ่งที่ช่วยให้เราเติบโตและมีพลังขึ้นในวันถัดไป การแบ่งปันเรื่องราวความรู้สึกแบบนี้ช่วยให้เราเชื่อมโยงกับผู้อื่นที่ผ่านช่วงเวลาคล้ายกัน และแสดงให้เห็นว่าการเกิดความเหงาและความเงียบในใจเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของการมีชีวิตอยู่ การดูแลตัวเองเมื่อไร้คนอยู่ข้างกาย เป็นสิ่งที่ทุกคนสามารถทำได้ เพื่อสร้างความเข้มแข็งจากภายในและก้าวไปข้างหน้าด้วยใจที่สงบและมั่นคงขึ้น

Learn even if you are busy
Language learning is objectively a task that requires time and effort – and some just have less time than others throughout their busy schedule. However, if you are on the go almost every day of the week but you still want to commit to learning a new language, that is already impressive in itself!

A text message conversation where one person expresses anger about breastfeeding, stating it shows a lack of respect, while the other tries to understand and compromise.
The conversation continues with one person declaring they are "done" and implying divorce due to the breastfeeding, which they view as a betrayal of trust and disrespect.
The discussion about breastfeeding continues, with one person arguing against its necessity for a full-term baby and stating they can no longer look at the other the same way.
WHAT EVEN?!
I don’t even know what to say about this whole situation. Saw this on YouTube. And this is why I stand on the fact that if I can’t see myself starting a family with you I will not be sleeping with you. So happy she filed for divorce #mom #momlife #parenting #couples #divorce #fyp
