I tweet for me boo 😭 Twitter for the OGs was basically a diary. We wasn’t sitting around chasing engagement . You just had a thought, tweeted it, and kept scrolling. If somebody saw it, cool. If they didn’t, oh well 😂 Twitter originally wasn’t even about likes like that. It was just people broadcasting their random ass thoughts into the universe.
i think it's beautiful how life gives you infinite chances to experience better. just when you think you'll never find better, you walk right into better and your heart softens again.
One thing adulthood has taught me is that I am not above anything. Homelessness, death, no job, literally anything can happen. Hence, I must never be too quick to speak over situations I’ve never found myself in. No one is above anything, not even your good actions can save you from your fair share of trials.
Life is crazy. Tables turn. Always stay humble & be grateful. ✌
The most expensive luxuries are free:
1. "Your parents still alive"
2. "A healthy body"
3. "Peaceful sleep"
4. "Warm meals"
5. "Laughter"
6. "A safe place to go home to"
Millennials and Gen Zs are raising terrible children.
I know it sounds harsh. But let’s talk about it honestly.
Most millennials like myself were raised by the community.
Neighbors watched you. Family friends corrected you. Any adult on the street could discipline you.
If you misbehaved outside, you got disciplined on the spot. Then you were walked home. And your parents will be angry the adult did not do more.
There was accountability. There were repercussions. There was fear. Not fear of abuse, but fear of shame and consequences for our actions.
You knew someone was always watching. Our parents didn’t even need to be present.
Agree, some of us still turned out really terrible, and made a mess of our lives.
But that system really worked.
It taught respect. It taught boundaries. It taught us accountability. It taught us that the world did not revolve around us.
Now look at how many of us raise kids today.
Teachers are not allowed to discipline children. Neighbors must “mind their business.” Strangers dare not correct bad behavior in public.
Parents now defend bad behavior instead of correcting it. Some even go to schools to fight teachers.
Children bully classmates. Disrespect authority. Disrupt classrooms.
And parents call it “expression” or “trauma” or as Bovi puts it: “my son has anger issues”.
The communal parenting that raised functional adults is gone. In its place is hyper-protective, Gen Z–centric parenting.
What happens to a society where children are never corrected by anyone? I have often wondered.
Actuarial science is one of those courses you can only complete if you're academically gifted. There's no amount studying that can help you pass this course if you're not academically gifted
Ngl, adult friendships require grace. People are very busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self care just like you. Less communication isn’t less love. Check in not out.
