Maybe the word "not okay" is normal.

Maybe the word "not okay" is normal.

NORMAL - BTS

Some stages of life

We don't know either.

What are you wanting?

Or what is fleeing

"Run away, out of sight, don't know what I want."

I don't know what I want.

We live.

Like having to be "okay" all the time.

"Kerosene, dopamine, what I gotta do?

Yeah, we call this sht normal. "

Try to find a good feeling all the time.

Forget that this is what we call "normal life."

The truth is,

Not everything will be clear.

"Two sides of a coin, and they both ain't true."

Like a double-sided coin, but none of the sides are all right.

Life is not white or black.

Maybe it's just "gray."

And not every pain.

Will disappear

"Now I understand the truth, some pain don't heal.

If everything's just happy, that ain't real. "

Some pain never really goes away.

Because if everything was happy, it wouldn't be true.

Something.

We're even trying to hold on.

It even dropped away.

"What I try to keep, never want to stay."

What's trying to keep is never with us.

Maybe.

Life doesn't have to be complete.

Just "true" is enough.

We don't have to be okay all the time.

And we don't need to understand everything in life.

Maybe.

Admitting that "it's incomplete."

Probably the lightest truth then.

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน หลายคนอาจรู้สึกว่าต้องแสดงออกว่า "โอเค" ตลอดเวลา ไม่ว่าจะเป็นเรื่องงาน ความสัมพันธ์ หรือความรู้สึกภายในใจเอง แต่ความจริงแล้ว การรู้สึก "ไม่โอเค" เป็นสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นได้และเป็นธรรมชาติของมนุษย์ จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว เมื่อเราเผชิญกับช่วงเวลาที่ซับซ้อนหรือเกิดความสับสน เราอาจรู้สึกเหมือนไม่เข้าใจตัวเอง หรือไม่รู้ว่ากำลังมุ่งหน้าไปทางไหน เหมือนกับที่เพลง NORMAL ของ BTS ถ่ายทอดไว้ว่า "Run away, out of sight, don't know what I want" การวิ่งหนีห่างออกไปแต่ไม่รู้ว่าตัวเองต้องการอะไรจริง ๆ สิ่งที่สำคัญคือการยอมรับว่าไม่จำเป็นต้องมีความสุขหรือความมั่นคงในทุกขณะ ชีวิตจริงมีทั้งด้านสว่างและด้านมืด เหมือนเหรียญสองด้านที่ไม่มีด้านใดถูกหรือผิดอย่างสมบูรณ์ ความเจ็บปวดที่บางครั้งไม่หายไปนั้น เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของการเติบโตและเรียนรู้ เมื่อเราเข้าใจและยอมรับความไม่สมบูรณ์ของชีวิตได้แล้ว มันจะช่วยลดภาระทางจิตใจ และทำให้เราพร้อมรับมือกับทุกสถานการณ์ได้ดียิ่งขึ้น บางทีการปล่อยวางและไม่ยึดติดกับสิ่งที่พยายามจะเก็บไว้ก็ช่วยให้รู้สึกเบาสบายใจมากขึ้น นอกจากนี้ การพูดคุยแชร์ประสบการณ์กับเพื่อนหรือคนใกล้ชิดก็เป็นทางเลือกที่ดีในการรับมือกับช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึก "ไม่โอเค" เพราะบางครั้งการรับฟังและการเข้าใจจากผู้อื่นก็ช่วยเยียวยาและเติมพลังให้กับเราได้ สรุปคือ เรื่องของการไม่โอเคไม่ใช่เรื่องที่ผิดหรือแปลก แต่เป็นสิ่งที่พบเจอได้ในทุกชีวิต การยอมรับและเคารพความรู้สึกของตัวเอง เป็นกุญแจสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้เราเดินทางผ่านช่วงเวลาที่ท้าทายไปได้ด้วยความเข้มแข็งและมีความสุขในรูปแบบของตัวเอง

Maybe you’re not too sensitive. Maybe you’ve just been hurt quietly for too long
There are days when one small thing can almost break you. A change in tone. A late reply. A look that feels cold. And then you blame yourself again. “Why am I like this?” “Why can’t I just be normal?” But maybe you’re not being dramatic. Maybe your heart has been carrying too many little hurts
