If you want to have fun in a rugby game, go all out. Cheer for your team, say hi to the players, throw banters here and there, drink 60 beers, say hi to Amandla and Fanaka studios, get some memorabilia, drink another 60 beers. Enjoy the after-party to the fullest. Don't be shy.
📅 On this day, seven years ago, Liverpool were crowned Champions of Europe for the 6th time after one of the most comfortable and boring 2-0 wins in the history of the competition. ✨🏆
Tottenham didn't turn up.
Sometimes the hardest goodbye is the one you make while you’re still in love.
There comes a moment when you have to say, “I love you, and I probably always will… but I’m no longer interested in the level of life you’re offering me.” And that truth hurts in a way few things do. Because love doesn’t just vanish. But it can get overshadowed by the reality that your values, your growth, your needs, and your future no longer align with theirs.
You’re not asking them to change. You’re not trying to mold them into someone else. You’re simply acknowledging that who they are...and how they choose to live...no longer fits the life you’re building. And for your own peace, your own evolution, and your own sanity, you have to step back.
“You can live how you want… but you can’t do it with me anymore.”
Loving someone from a distance is still love. It just means you’re choosing yourself too. The love in your heart may remain, but you know you deserve more than inconsistency, stagnation, or emotional chaos. You deserve a love that grows with you, not one that holds you back or keeps you small. You deserve environments where your peace is protected, where your soul feels safe, and where your growth is celebrated...not hindered.
This isn’t rejecting them. This is honoring you.
It’s choosing to stop accepting a version of love that doesn’t nurture your spirit anymore. And yes, it’s painful. But it’s also the most self-respecting, self-loving decision you can make.
People might judge. They might not understand. But protecting your peace is not something you ever owe an explanation for. Some choices are made quietly, privately, and bravely...for the sake of the person you’re becoming.
Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own
