yep.
most men dodge that self-audit like it’s poison cus the ego wants comfort over truth but once you swallow that initial sting and calibrate honestly (your results, your discipline, how people actually respond to you) you start to understand shite & stop getting humiliated by reality.

lions don’t need to lie to themselves about their strength, so why tf should you?

[Wɪsᴇᴍᴀɴ Dᴏᴇ @d4thHand]

women are merciless asf when it comes to this realm.

a lesson from the animal kingdom that illustrates this perfectly has stuck with me for years now.
when a young male lion, strong and healthy, approaches a pride and challenges the dominant male too soon (perhaps due to no coalition, poor timing, misread strength...) and is defeated, the pride leader doesn't just defeat him.
he takes it as a point to humiliate him, wound him, and make sure every lioness witnesses the exile.

and that primitively shows how ruthless nature is to those who miscalculate their place.

just like that, women operate with the same ancient, unforgiving instinct.

if you undervalue yourself, you will be punished with neglect and indifference and if you overvalue yourself, you are punished with mockery and ridicule.
both punishments are swift, precise, and completely avoidable.

hence, you must learn to see yourself clearly - not through the lens of your mother's praise, your ego's inflation, or your fear's deflation. you need to look at reality, i.e. your actions, your results, your discipline, your competence, and the respect you command in the world.

only then can you stop inflating or deflating what you bring to the table and face the truth as it actually is cus if you refuse to calibrate accurately, the world (and women esp.) will keep breaking you until you do.

as a man, you must know your value and own it without arrogance or apology, for that clarity is the difference between being respected… and being erased.

I’ll randomly just stare at our ships and literally just marvel at them. Like we really built these things to off people and break their shit. Insane what humanity has become

Showing the Marineford war from the perspective of an ordinary, nameless soldier was an absolute masterclass in storytelling.

if you meet someone later in life who you want to be with long term, you have to make a point to make teenager style memories with them

@trellodelagetto @realnamediamond This joke been done to death but this is legitimate CIA raps. Like, Aaron McGruder would’ve had Eve sing this as a parody song in the Boondocks while Huey looks at the screen disgusted

Unless a piano goes rolling down the stairs, I never know if I'm watching a clip from Scream or Scary Movie.

Since FIFA said they'd be in touch about making this official, I just gotta say that I really couldn't think of anyone better to represent the World Cup than the guy who's spent the last three years promoting and learning the world's cultures and breaking stereotypes around them
