This hun just showed up at my place with groceries . I feel bad for her because she is going all out for someone who doesn’t care about her. Being part of her karma and character development is a privilege that I dont take lightly. Its an honour 🙏🏽
As long as a woman likes you, you’ll know. Her actions, the way she initiates, the way she acts around you both in public and private, you’ll see it.
A woman in love is an unguarded woman. That’s how Rihanna treats Asap Rocky, defenseless.
Of course Andrew Kibe was mean, and those are his views because views are like fingerprints, everyone walks around with their own.
What disgusts me is the double standards on this platform, where people suddenly pretend to love clean talk only when the person being attacked is someone they like.
It is easy to bully someone like Gaitho, laugh, retweet, add insults, call him fat and call it banter, then suddenly act shocked when the same harshness lands on another person.
And before people start shouting whataboutism, that is not the point.
The point is simple..........
If we want cleaner public talk, cleaner society and better online behaviour, then we must kill double standards first.
Donge?
