It’s been a rollercoaster ride and it ends here.
Looking back, it was not easy for everyone. Shelly had been groomed since teenager and manipulated by adults around her, until she stepped out from that world and met her first love. But her fear of coming out and hurting her mom led to series of unwise decisions that snowballed to current situation.
Pundao had gone through so many failed relationship. Again and again it was due to broken trust. She was genuinely happy this time, to the point she did things she never did before. But to be kept in dark by the one she though t she knew inside out would only tear the old wound open. And to bare it all in front of media was traumatizing.
When MME was fronted by fans asking for explanation about the pics, they called S for a meeting. But S was overwhelmed with guilt and remorse to explain further than apology. Even when P asked, S maintained her silence. They knew there was something wrong somewhere. But rumors started clamoring in X and fans start getting restless, so the premature statement was out based on little information they got.
People said it was a script to promote the CP, but who in the right mind put their own careers in jeopardy? Which actress will risk losing opportunities to be in this industry? What will she gain in her career after exposing herself so much? Which company would risk losing their first and only CP that bring them income. Who will risk paying for all the penalty when contract and agreements with third parties breached as SP cancelled the events. All the new artists who were supposed to get exposure through reality show now have to be shelved back. All the acting classes, the workshops and money paid to get copyright to produce BYS is down the drain. Everyone in this ride was basically screwed up.
Shelly made mistake and she was now punished for it. But credit must be given where credit is due. She stood up against her mother, the one who raised her alone and she loved the most. She broke free from her and chose to be herself. To be the one who dictate her own life and love. She knew she would get another backlash, but she still want to express it for the whole world to know that she loves Pundao and Pundao is her whole world. She had enough of hiding. She wanted to be herself.
It was easy to judge as outsiders, me included. It might look like a GL turns to life, but there are many people who can relate to this story. The grooming, the exploitation, the societal expectation, the fear, the feeling of being trapped, the pain of being blindsided.. everything is also happening in real world. The world is not black and white. The grey areas in between is the place where we often overlooked.
So many people wish this never happen. I believe everything happen for a reason. If 1st October didnt happen, I will never know Shelly’s inner struggle and emotional manipulation by her mother. Pundao will never know what was going on. MME will continue pushing their careers and getting them more contracts. Imagine the collapse if this happen when they are filming BYS, the sponsors withdrawing, the financial burden incurred after paying filming crews and location and most importantly, the loss of trust when the issue is dragged longer.
Now what is done is done. Let them move on. Let them sort their feelings and decide. It is not our right to push them now and dictate them what to do in their life. Yes, we do love shellypundao and we do love seeing them together. But behind the tag, there are real people who are hurt and in pain. We are nothing but ordinary people who see only a fraction of their life on screen.
Time will heal what explanation won’t.
Perhaps not today, perhaps not tomorrow, perhaps not two years later. But if two hearts still choose each other after all the storms, love may yet find its way home. Until then, we should just wish them the best in life.
จากคนที่รักทั้งสองคน เข้าใจทุกคนเห็นใจทุกฝ่ายนะคะ แต่ขอฝากไว้สักนิดนะคะ 🥺
อย่าเอาความคาดหวังของเราไปกดดันใครคนใดคนนึงนะคะ 🙏
ไม่ว่าเราจะคาดหวังให้เชลลี่กับพันดาวกลับมารักกันอีกครั้ง หรือคิดว่าการแยกทางอาจเป็นสิ่งที่ดีที่สุดในตอนนี้ อย่าลืมว่าความสัมพัน��์เป็นเรื่องของคนสองคน มีเพียงพวกเขาเท่านั้นที่รู้ว่าควรเดินต่อไปในทิศทางไหน
เราแสดงความคิดเห็นได้ แต่สิ่งสำคัญที่สุดคือการเคารพการตัดสินใจของทั้งคู่ ให้เวลาและพื้นที่พวกเขาได้ทบทวนความรู้สึก โดยไม่ใช้ความคาดหวังของเราไปกดดันให้ต้องเลือกในแบบที่เราต้องการ
เพราะการสนับสนุนที่แท้จริง ไม่ใช่การคาดหวังให้พวกเขาเลือกในแบบที่เราหวัง แต่คือการเคารพสิ���งที่พวกเขาเลือกด้วยหัวใจของตัวเอง 🤍 ใจเย็นๆกันนะทุกคนเหมือนที่พี่บอกตลอดให้เวลาเขาทั้งสองคนนะ 🥺

Don’t let your expectations become someone else’s pressure. 🙏
Whether you hope Shelly and Pundao will get back together or believe that parting ways may be best for now, remember that a relationship belongs to two people, and only they can decide what is right for them.
We are entitled to our opinions and hopes, but we must respect their decisions and give them the time and space they need without pressuring them to choose what we want.
True support isn’t about expecting them to make the choice we wish for, but respecting whatever they choose with their own hearts. 🤍 Please calm down and give their time and spaces🥺
