Something I will always be pissed about:
Women were getting the cutest lower back tattoos in one of the sexiest parts of their bodies and men called them Tramp stamps.
Blah blah blah, if you are posting everything else and your boo wants you to post a birthday shout out, just freaking do it. Y'all go out of your way to not do the little things.
I once knew a woman who used to complain that her husband never posted her on social media.
Anniversaries came and went. Birthdays passed quietly. No long captions. No couple pictures. Nothing.
One day, she got upset and said,
“Other men are proud of their wives. You can’t even post me.”
He didn’t argue. He just nodded.
A week later, she fell sîck
unexpectedly. It wasn’t serious, but she had to be admitted for a few days. That man didn’t leave the hospital. He slept on the plastic chair beside her bed. He fed her.
He braided her hair when it got rough. He called her office to explain. He even learned how to warm her food the way she likes it.
One evening, she woke up and saw him gently rubbing her feet because she had complained about body pâin earlier.
She looked at him and said quietly,
“You didn’t go to work?”
He smiled and replied,
“My wife is my work right now.”
No Instagram post.
No Facebook caption.
But in that hospital room, she understood something.
Some people show love online.
Some people show love in real life.
The loudest love isn’t always the deepest. ❤️
Nobody actually likes you when you're depressed. We can talk all day about mental health and how important it is, but the moment you are depressed, people start to distance themselves. They just see you as negative, a burden, and someone too heavy to handle.
I have a friend who doesn’t tell anyone anything. You won’t know she’s about to move until she has already moved. You won’t know she’s getting a car until she already has one. Even the problems between her and her boyfriend are none of our business.
I used to think she wasn’t being a good friend because she didn’t share her personal life. But now I understand why she doesn’t. It’s nothing personal, she just keeps her business private. And as I get older, I definitely see why.
