🏝👩‍❤️‍👩40 + is still next to your mother. Looks bad?🌸🦋

Since father died... Tik and mother are always together.

Work, eat, travel together everywhere.

A question many people think...

Always with me. Don't you look free?

Grow up like this. Don't split houses?

Or are we just afraid of being alone?

The heaviest person ever said, "We come back to Mother's Island to eat."

Even though we were working for everyone in the house, 😂

In fact...

"Being with my mother" doesn't mean not growing up.

But it's a bond, because that's all we have left.

Now we switch roles.

Give us a chance to take care of your mother.

Because we don't have much time left to be together.

I'll do the best I can. 😊

# 40 plus is not convenient # 40 plus must meet # 40 is still cool

# I'm in my 40s # 40 Plus, do you like the view?

... Read moreถ้าคุณกำลังค้นคำว่า “อยู่กับแม่” เพราะลังเลว่ามันดูไม่โตไหม หรือกลัวคนมองแปลกๆ เราอยากบอกว่า “อยู่กับแม่” เป็นได้ทั้งเรื่องความรัก ความรับผิดชอบ และความเหมาะสมของชีวิต ไม่ได้แปลว่าคุณขาดอิสระเสมอไปค่ะ หลังจากพ่อเสีย เรากับแม่ยิ่งตัวติดกันมากขึ้น ไปไหนไปกัน กินข้าวด้วยกัน เที่ยวด้วยกัน มันคือช่วงเวลาที่เราอยากเก็บไว้จริงๆ สิ่งที่ช่วยให้เราอยู่กับแม่แบบสบายใจขึ้น คือแยก “ความผูกพัน” ออกจาก “การพึ่งพิงจนเสียตัวตน” เราลองเช็กตัวเองง่ายๆ 4 ข้อค่ะ 1) การเงิน: เรามีรายได้ของตัวเอง วางแผนค่าใช้จ่ายในบ้านชัดเจน ไม่เดือดร้อนใคร 2) การตัดสินใจชีวิต: เรื่องงาน สุขภาพ ความสัมพันธ์ เราตัดสินใจได้เอง แค่เลือกปรึกษาแม่ 3) พื้นที่ส่วนตัว: อยู่บ้านเดียวกันได้ แต่ต้องมีเวลาของตัวเอง เช่น ออกกำลังกาย อ่านหนังสือ ทำงานอดิเรก 4) หน้าที่ดูแล: ถ้าอยู่ด้วยกันเพราะช่วยกันดูแล มันคือการแบ่งบทบาท ไม่ใช่ “กลับไปเป็นเด็ก” อีกเรื่องคือคำพูดคนอื่น โดยเฉพาะประโยคแรงๆ อย่าง “เกาะแม่กิน” เราเคยเจอเหมือนกัน ทั้งที่จริงเราทำงานหาเลี้ยงบ้านด้วยซ้ำ วิธีที่เราใช้คือเตรียมประโยคตอบแบบสุภาพแต่ชัด เช่น - “เราดูแลกันค่ะ บ้านเราโอเคแบบนี้” - “ตอนนี้แม่มีเราดูแล เลยเลือกอยู่ด้วยกันค่ะ” - “ขอบคุณที่เป็นห่วงนะคะ แต่เราวางแผนชีวิตไว้แล้ว” พูดสั้นๆ ไม่ต้องอธิบายยาว เพราะยิ่งอธิบายยิ่งเหมือนต้องขออนุญาตคนอื่นใช้ชีวิต ถ้ากังวลเรื่องอนาคต ลองคุยกับแม่แบบเพื่อนร่วมทีมมากกว่าลูก-แม่ เช่น แผนสุขภาพ (ตรวจสุขภาพประจำปี ยาประจำตัว), แผนฉุกเฉิน (เบอร์หมอ รพ. เอกสารสำคัญ), และแผนการเงินในบ้าน (ค่าใช้จ่าย/เงินสำรอง) สิ่งพวกนี้ทำให้การ “อยู่กับแม่” ดูเป็นผู้ใหญ่และมีระบบมากขึ้น สุดท้าย เราว่าความสุขเล็กๆ อย่างได้นั่งกอดแม่ ได้ถ่ายรูปยิ้มด้วยกัน มันมีค่ามาก โดยเฉพาะวันที่เรารู้สึกว่าเวลาอยู่ด้วยกันอาจไม่ยาวเหมือนเดิม การอยู่กับแม่ไม่ได้แปลว่าไม่โตค่ะ บางทีมันคือการโตพอที่จะเลือก “ดูแลคนที่เรารัก” และใช้ชีวิตในแบบที่ไม่ทำร้ายใครเลย

Mother wounds are hard to talk about! 🌸🍋✨
The mother wound is simultaneously the most common thing I see in my work and the least commonly talked about. Because how do you grieve someone who is still alive? How do you name a pain that doesn’t always have an obvious story attached to it? How do you explain that your mom “wasn’t that bad

What a Soft Life Looks Like in My 40s
The older I get, the more I realize that a soft life isn’t about luxury. It’s about intention. It’s choosing to slow down. It’s taking the walk. It’s buying the flowers. It’s sitting outside a little longer. It’s taking yourself to brunch just because. It’s learning that not every moment has to

Avoiding Cakey Makeup After 40
Put a finger down if your makeup starts to look cakey by lunchtime. It’s probably not your skin. It’s usually too many layers. In summer, less really does look fresher. A few things that help: • lighter coverage • strategic powder • more hydration • cream products instead of heavy powder

Midlife changes the conversation between you and your body. The strategies that once helped you survive may suddenly stop working. Pushing harder. Ignoring exhaustion. Overriding stress. Living disconnected from your body. At some point, the nervous system says: “No more.” And that

A person paints an abstract artwork on an easel outdoors, overlooking a scenic landscape with hills and a cloudy sky. Text overlay reads "what 'Ocean Eyes' looks like to me >>".
A large abstract acrylic painting, 30x40 inches, hangs on a white brick wall. It features dynamic blue, green, and white strokes with hints of orange on a black canvas, evoking ocean movement.
A close-up of the abstract painting reveals intricate blue, white, and light green brushstrokes, with small orange and yellow accents, against a dark background, suggesting fluid motion.
What ‘Ocean Eyes’ by Billie Eilish looks like to me
‘ocean eyes’ @billieeilish 30 x 40 in. acrylic on canvas (available) ↓ This was a special one. To me, the sounds of music move in many ways like nature. This song in particular has moments that sway and ebb, much like the tide in the ocean. Not often do the lyrics in a song connect to the act
