JIHYO says that TWICE will be taking a break after the final concert in Seoul:
"For the past 11 years, as TWICE and as a solo artist, we barely had any breaks, so I want to spend the rest of this year relaxing and taking a bit of a break. This break is really something we need in order to work better in the future, so I hope our fans understand."
My girl best friend told her boyfriend something that lowkey changed how I see relationships.
She said, “I don’t want obedience. I want consideration. I shouldn’t have to beg you to think about how your actions affect me.”
She told him, “You’re allowed to have friends. You’re allowed to go out. You’re allowed to live your life. But if you constantly put yourself in situations that you know would hurt me, that’s not freedom. That’s you choosing yourself over us.”
Then she said something that hit:
“If I have to keep explaining why something disrespects me, it’s not confusion. It’s comfort. You’re comfortable knowing I’ll stay.”
And whew.
She wasn’t yelling. She wasn’t threatening to leave. She was calm. Grounded. Clear.
She told him, “I won’t control you. But I will control what I tolerate. And if I start feeling small in a relationship that’s supposed to feel safe, I’ll remove myself. Not to punish you. To protect me.”
That’s what emotional maturity sounds like.
Not “do what I say.”
But “I see the red flag. I told you it’s red. If you keep walking past it, I’m not dragging you back.”
A woman I know was followed home at night.
She didn’t run.
She didn’t yell.
She laughed at his jokes.
Complimented his shoes.
Pretended she was flattered by the attention.
She gave him her number just to make it home alive.
Blocked it the second her door locked behind her.
Men call this “leading someone on.”
Women call it survival.
Men will never fully grasp the calculations women make in real time just to stay alive.
