No one knows what you experience. No one else knows your perspective. All we can do is try and empathize and attempt understand different points of view. As I like to say, we are all parallel realities of each other blinded by ego.
It was my birthday last week, and I was sitting in the breakroom at work when a younger coworker asked what my partner had gotten me. She already had her phone out, completely ready to see a picture of a designer bag, a massive $500 floral arrangement, or a viral-worthy dinner receipt.
I told her the truth: He spent his entire weekend covered in grease, replacing the alternator and brake pads on my car, and then he quietly paid off the remaining balance of my student loan that had been giving me rolling panic attacks for six months.
She gave me this deeply tragic, pitying look. “Oh. Well, that’s practical, I guess,” she said. “But you deserve to be spoiled. You know, the princess treatment. A man who really loves you wants to show you off, not just do chores. That's kind of the bare minimum.”
I just stared at her.
What she didn’t see was that for the last half of the year, I had been losing sleep, my hair was thinning from financial stress, and I was terrified to drive my car on the highway. My partner took his only two days off from his own grueling job, completely wrecked his hands under my hood, and drained his own savings, just to hand me back my peace of mind.
The internet has completely rotted our definition of romance. We have been brainwashed to believe that if a man isn't performing his love for an audience, buying things that look highly aesthetic on a TikTok reel, then he isn't doing enough.
We are out here casually calling a man's literal blood, sweat, and absolute financial sacrifice "the bare minimum" just because it doesn't come in a shiny box with a ribbon.
seeing smaller dj's complain about illenium always makes me laugh. homeboy has his own festival and is playing NINE sphere shows.. idk maybe we should be taking notes instead or something 🤷🏻♀️
My classmate was raped on her way back home from university and got pregnant, but couldn’t get an abortion due to the laws. She had to drop out of university where she was studying medicine. Because of pregnancy and childbirth expenses, she couldn’t continue her studies, left college, started working at a coffee shop, lost the fun of her early twenties, and lost the chance to attend international medical conferences she once dreamt of… all just to give birth to a child she never wanted.
People say, “What if the baby you abort grows up and cures cancer?”
Okay — but what if the 19-year-old you deny an abortion to grows up and cures cancer?
Now she can’t afford to get an education. Instead, she has to take care of a baby. What about her? An actual living human being???
“Abortion ends potential life”… So do property disputes, war, and genocide. You only seem to care about lives when women don’t give birth to them.

Happy to see someone from the early youtube days enjoy life instead of being chronically online.
“cats are so mean” skill issue. every cat i’ve ever met has either liked me or ignored me, and being ignored by a cat is actually a good thing because that means they aren’t perceiving you as a threat
Been seeing a lot of millennials estranging and going no contact with parents. Is it just my feed or do you guys see this? How many of yall actually go no contact?
this generation doesn’t know how to build healthy relationships.. we end up saying stuff like “i don’t owe anyone anything.” you do owe people something. you owe those you offended an apology. you owe those who gave you support, gratitude (1/2)
