“To try to not be more interesting but be more interested” literally changed my life perspective btw

To do things not for the sake of coming off a certain way or fitting a certain aesthetic or to grab ppl’s attention more …. But to simply do them bc you’re curious and invested and would do them regardless of whether anyone was perceiving you or not …. That is literally the point

I’m genuinely understating how important this lesson has been for me bc we literally live in a world that’s all about aesthetics and branding and how to package urself even if you’re not even an influencer… dating tips that advise you to “focus on yourself” “take on more hobbies to have something to talk about and be interesting” like what if you just did those things bc you want to …. for the whimsy ….. bc we have one life ….. and then the rest just naturally follows . What if being interesting does not presuppose the interest. What if that sabotages it actually . What if the only actual way to be interesting and to evoke something in ppl and to capture their interest is by doing things bc you truly love them and for no other purpose

#this! #it's the: #you're so obsessed with how you are perceived that you can't fully enjoy living #let's enjoy living!!

Ola reached out to me again to help her, I want to share some things that she told me & encourage you to share this post/d0nate, every share and every $ counts! 🙏 [LINK TO FUNDRAISER]

You may be thinking, why does she need so much, haven't we helped enough yet? While we complain about, let's say, the ever-rising price of eggs - 2€ here, $10 in the US - how much might these same eggs cost for Ola, in a country where all production is stopped & barely any food can be imported? Well, for Ola and her family, every single food item & necessity has prices comparable to what one would normally only spend on perhaps a trip or even rent - each egg, or fruit, or vegetable, is like a luxury item, and meat is out of the question entirely. On top of that, Ola is unable to work or earn any money, so she & her family are completely dependent on this campaign for basic survival. In this art piece, I wanted to portray Ola's dreams that were crushed by the current situation, where she can barely survive.

The campaign has been vetted by @90-ghost here, @northgazaupdates here, @el-shab-hussein, and @nabulsi 's spreadsheet of vetted campaigns #205.

"I write these words with a shattered heart, with tears that have not dried since I lost everything. I watched my father, mother, and siblings being killed before my eyes in a merciless war, and now I am left alone with my three children and my wife, whose body is being ravaged by cancer. I am wounded in my leg, unable to move, unable to provide even the most basic necessities of life. No home, no shelter, no safety—only pain and despair. Please, do not leave me alone in this hell. Help me by sharing my story and donation link, so I can build a refuge to protect my children and me from the cold of winter and the heat of summer. You are my last hope after the world has abandoned me."

In order for everyone to deeply appreciate the beauty of the show, let me explain how some actions of Khun Yai date back to Commander Yai and how the whole idea of how reincarnation and a pledge of love and two souls finding each other, no matter how hard they are pushed away, so perfectly (novel spoilers ahead) -

Commander Yai plays a very vital role for all his future reincarnated selves with his promise of unwavering love. In the novel, after Jom disappearing from Khun Yai's era, he is transported further back in time where he meets Commander Yai. Initially, Commander Yai is very harsh towards Jom and treats him like a prisoner.

My favourite part of the novel is how Jom, already head over heels in love with Yai, tries all kinds of tricks to get Yai to fall in love with him as well. In the series, we have seen Khun Yai courting Jom but here, we have a chance to see Jom actively pursue Yai. The funniest thing is that Jom does this in front of Yai's entire platoon and it's hilarious to see how Yai keeps brushing off Jom's attempts.

Finally, Commander Yai returns Jom's feelings and he takes a pledge that no matter what happens, he would always love Jom. And since, Jom had to suffer through a phase of unrequited love here, so he promises that, in his every life, Yai would be the one to fall in love first. So, we see Khun Yai being attracted to Jom first, falling in love first, getting the feeling that he had been waiting for Jom for a long time.

He gives his ring to Jom, which was given to him by the king, as a token of promise. The same ring that we see Commander Yai wearing underwater and in Jom's dream.

In addition to the excellent thoughts by OP above, I want to add on about the reason behind both Khun Yai (in 1927) and Kanthorn was born sick, and how that relates back to Commander Yai, which is why fans desperately NEED a season 2.

Khun Yai said he was born sick so his family had to make the blessing ceremony to try and bring his "spirit" or "blessing" back to him.

2023 Yai Kanthorn was also adopted because he was born prematurely and sick. His real mother is Ueam Dao (Khun Lek's youngest daughter) but his aunt Ueam Duean (Khun Lek's oldest daughter, Khun Yai's favorite niece) had adopted Yai Kanthorn so he got gradually better in health.

Point is both future reincarnations of Commander Yai were both both born sick, missing their "blessing". So why is this the case?

We can trace back to the words in the final chapter when Commander Yai was in a life and death battle and before he sacrified his life in that battle, Commander Yai made a promise to Jom.

To give some context, you can see the blessing ceremony being mentioned again in EP.12

You can see that because of this promise, Commander Yai had traded his "spirit"/"blessing" for when Jom had crashed his car into the river but did not drown, miraculously surviving -> resulting in his future reincarnations (Khun Yai and Yai Kanthorn) to be born sick with missing "spirit"/"blessing".

So when both 2023 Yai Kanthorn and 1927 Khun Yai meet Jom, they feel like they're finally "complete".

The dialogue in this scene in EP.10 is also evident of Yai's completeness after meeting Jom. The translation isn't able to do it justice but Yai uses "kwan" and "por jom kwan kong shan" which is both a play on word of the "spirit"/"blessing" and also "jom kwan" = my dearest jom.

get it done the weird way. do it in parts. do it “wrong”. do it “late”. do it scared. it’s just better to do it differently than everyone else rather than never do it.
