For you, what is living? Why do you live? What for?
I actually thought of it. Why was we born?
But it happened. We were born and we are here now
There's really no objective to why we are born
What kind of life do you want to live is entirely subjective
For you, Pimjai, what is the reason why you live?
For me, I think
I want to improve myself. It sounds pretty optimistic, isn't it?
I want to do good things as much as I can to myself and to others
because I think that doing good things is so valuable
It's really hard for you to be born in the first place, so not everyone get to have this chance to do good things
Some (spirits) are born as birds or pigs, so it is hard for them to do good things
So I think being a human, it is very valuable that we are capable of doing good things for others
When you do good things, it also makes you happier
- An easier question: who is your hero?
I have a lot of heroes, but the main heroes for me
are my mom and dad because there are no one in this world
who can do everything for you. It's a little bit sentimental here, isn't it?
It's because my parents were struggling a lot before they were able to raise me to who I am today
Even me speaking now, I am able to speak because my parents taught me how to speak
If I don't have them, I probably wouldn't be able to speak
I am able to breathe because my parents give me food
If my parents didn't give me food when I was born, I probably would have died
I probably would not be able to speak or talk in English if my parents did not send me to school
So, the most influencial heroes in my life are my parents
- What is something you regret not doing?
I have a lot
Actually, not much. I'm confused. Not a lot of regrets actually
Because when I want to do something, I'll do it. No ifs or no buts to myself
There are something I have almost not done because of my limitations,
I was stubborn and did it anyway, like entering the beauty pageant
I was only 157 cm (5'2") which is quite below average height
But I don't consider that as my limits
Why can't I try it? So, I tried it.
Where I want to go, I'll go What food I want to try, I'll try it
It's like I am giving myself an opportunity to do something new
Without limiting myself on what I can do or I can't do
So that's why there are really a few things I regret not doing
- Is there something you'd like to try, but haven't tried yet?
A lot!
The thing that I haven't done but want to do. The top of the list would be
I want to learn how to scuba dive
I was impressed that one time
I traveled to Ko Kham at Sattahip, Chonburi, and I have seen coral there
I went with my boyfriend, but it was snorkeling. The kind where you wear the glasses and breathe through tube
- with the tube sticking above the water - Snorkel
And I saw the world under the water
It's like we are in the fish tank. It was so amazingly beautiful
It's like you are in a totally a different world when you are under the water
It was calm. It was quiet because you can't hear much commotion underwater
I see some beautiful lives under there with coral
That's why I want to dive freely
but I don't know how to do that yet, so I want to try learning it
- So this is your bucket list that you'll do in the near future?
- Someday - Not sure if it's near or not, but one day
- Cannabis vs. alcohol: which one is more dangerous in your opinion? - Personally, I think it's alcohol
- Why? - Because I used to get drunk, that's why I think it's dangerous
I used to get drunk but never get high. Maybe getting high is worse, I don't know
- Do I have to ask you this question again if you ever get high?
I don't think I'll ever get drunk
because I don't touch alcohol at all
- I meant the cannabis - Cannabis is also no
Because being drunk is so suffering. I used to drink and I just found out that I am allergic to alcohol
- How's the symptom? - I was sick, almost went to the hospital but I was too embarrassed
I don't want to be in the news - Would you rather die?
It felt managable at the time, so I tried to get myself to puke and drink a lot of water
I can still manage to help myself
- Ain't you just drunk, not allergic reaction? - It was allergy because my eyes
My eyes were swollen and red. My throat was itchy and my mouth was getting bigger as if I had lip filler injected
Super red and super swollen lips. And it was really allergy because I had trouble breathing
My heart was pounding like crazy
- That's why I promised myself not to drink again
- Would you drink if you are not allergic?
No, at this time I'd say better not.
- No thanks. - No thank you
But I can dance without getting drunk
that's my superpower
I totally believe you
