This works in relationships too. Never beg for love. The only time an apology is warranted is when you are genuinely wrong, outside of that, never beg for affection. Never plead for someone to stay, to care, to choose you. It reeks of desperation, and desperation has never once made anyone more desirable. As Duma Boko said, “if they want to leave, help them get out.”
It's selfish to enter someone's life, see that they're a loving, cheerful, and good person, and decide to ruin their present because you haven't dealt with your own issues. Leave people alone if you have no intention of showing up with sincerity
Tandaan: ang mga nagtaas ng kamay sila ang lagi nasasangkot sa mga alegasyon ng korapsyon. Hindi ito tungkol sa tamang prinsipyo. Tungko ito sa patuloy na panggagago sa mga Pilipino!
with how she actively campaigned for those politicians last 2022, she has to be thankful that brands are still getting her to go live on tktok hahaha they can never make me like the gonzagas 😂
People have exactly a two-week limit on their sympathy. When you first break down, everyone is supportive. But if your depression lasts longer than a fortnight, they get incredibly annoyed.
You are not allowed to have long-term struggles. Society expects you to have a quick, cinematic breakdown, cry it out over the weekend, and bounce back to being productive by Monday.
The exact second they realize your depression isn't just a temporary mood swing but a constant struggle, the "take all the time you need" energy completely vanishes.
They stop checking in and start treating your mental state like a deliberate character flaw. You aren't struggling anymore; you are just "not trying hard enough" or "choosing to be miserable."
Beyoncé gave birth to twins after a high-risk pregnancy. She developed toxemia and preeclampsia, had an emergency C-section, and described the delivery as extremely difficult. At one point (in her docu) saying one of her twins’ hearts stopped in the womb.
Less than a year later, she had about 8 months to prepare for Coachella. Rehearsals didn’t even fully ramp up until ~115 days before the show, and she was putting in 8–12 hour days while still recovering from major surgery. She lost 100 pounds and then stepped on that stage and delivered THE GREATEST coachella performance of all time.
In Homecoming, she made it very clear how physically and mentally intense that process was and that she would never push herself like that again.
And yet… look at the contrast. Men can get on stage unprepared, forget lyrics, sit down mid-performance, and it’s framed as “relatable,” “funny,” “he’s healing,” whatever narrative people want to spin that day.
But if a woman… especially someone like Beyoncé…showed up anything less than perfect? It wouldn’t be a joke. It would be “she’s washed,” “she doesn’t have it anymore,” “her career is over.”
Women in entertainment are expected to be superhuman AT ALL TIMES, even after literally risking their lives to give birth. Meanwhile, men are allowed to be mediocre in public and still be protected by the narrative.
Men should be stoned. The double standard is exhausting and it’s time we start being honest.
