To "me" in childhood...Thank you for growing up well.

# Children's Day 2026It's passed, but I'd like to use the space here to write a letter of thanks to myself...Thanks to everything that's been tried and turned into a proud version today. 🫶🏻

Thank you for being a curious child. 🧐 Thank you for daring to question. Dare to doubt what others see as normal, even though many times it is considered "strange" or "different," but the skepticism of that day made us people who have a broad perspective and do not submit to what is unreasonable today.

Thank you for dreaming, even if no one agrees. ☁️ Thank you for choosing what you love and following your heart. Even on days when people around you don't understand or shake your face saying it's impossible. Goal tenacity on that day is really worth it.

Thank you for not fighting until the dream 🏆 tried very well...Thank you for being patient and fighting so far that today we have captured many childhood dreams in our hands. You are the best!

Thank you clearly and decisively. ✅ Thank you for the courage to decide. Cut to cut. End to end. This decisiveness always protects ourselves to walk the right way.

Thank you for having a very high self-love, 💖 thank you for loving yourself. In the past, there may be some falling days, but because there is a self-loving heart that makes us get up to dust and walk faster than anyone else.

Thank you for studying and working with "heart." 🌟 Thank you for not choosing to work just for money, but because Passion does for others and tries to create good things for society. The happiness of being a "giver" really fulfills our hearts.

Thank you for never stopping learning. 📚 How fast the world spins, we never stop improving ourselves. Thank you for always adding new knowledge to life.

This year's Children's Day didn't ask for much. I just wanted to tell myself, "Thank you for growing up so well." 🩷

With love, always xx.

... Read moreการเขียนจดหมายถึงตัวเองในวัยเด็กเป็นวิธีที่ดีในการสะท้อนความรู้สึกและเตือนใจถึงความมุ่งมั่นที่เคยมี เมื่อฉันได้ลองเขียนจดหมายถึงตัวเอง ฉันรู้สึกได้ถึงพลังบวกที่เพิ่มขึ้น เพราะไม่ใช่แค่ขอขอบคุณ แต่ยังช่วยเสริมสร้างความคิดเชิงบวกและกำลังใจในปัจจุบันด้วย สำหรับใครที่กำลังรู้สึกหลงทางหรือท้อแท้ ลองใช้เวลาหยิบปากกาขึ้นมาเขียนถึงตัวเองในอดีตว่าขอบคุณหรือจะได้กำลังใจอะไรก็ได้จากวันนั้นน่าจะช่วยให้ฟื้นฟูกำลังใจได้อย่างไม่น่าเชื่อ นอกจากนี้ การรวมภาพความทรงจำวัยเด็ก เช่น ภาพถ่ายหรือของเล่นที่เคยรัก ก็ช่วยให้บทจดหมายมีความหมายมากขึ้นและทำให้เราย้อนมองเห็นพัฒนาการของตัวเองอย่างชัดเจน ภาพของฉันที่เคยใช้กล้องดิจิทัลสีชมพูและเครื่องเล่น MP3 ที่เคยถือไว้ เตือนใจให้รู้ว่าการเติบโตไม่ได้เกิดขึ้นเพียงข้ามคืนแต่เต็มไปด้วยความทรงจำและความตั้งใจ การมี Self-love ที่สูงเหมือนในบทความเป็นสิ่งสำคัญมาก เพราะเมื่อรักและเข้าใจตัวเอง เราจะมีแรงเดินหน้าต่อไปอย่างมั่นใจไม่ว่าอุปสรรคใดๆ จะเข้ามา สุดท้าย ความกล้าเผชิญและตัดสินใจเด็ดขาด ทำให้เรามีความมั่นคงและรู้จักประเมินสิ่งที่เป็นประโยชน์ต่อชีวิตอย่างแท้จริง ความรักและความภูมิใจในตัวเองเหล่านี้เป็นของขวัญที่ดีที่สุดที่เราสามารถมอบให้ตัวเองได้ทุกวัน

How your childhood affects your nervous system
Growing up, we're often told that who we are is a direct result of our parents' genetics. But what we tend to overlook is that how we were raised—the environment, the experiences, and the emotional dynamics—plays a much bigger role in shaping our personality and how we interact with the
