To the young man who emailed me about what I meant by
Personal Investment.
Film Form

I will answer as best as I can.

Most humans rarely admit their complicity in their sob story. They are too busy either fishing for sympathy or painting the other side as a Disney villain or both

Except in rare cases or illegal or immoral behaviour. No matter how thin you slice it there are 2 sides to a story

"Because you are giver make sure you don't fall in love with a taker. Cos a taker doesn't have limits. Neither does a giver"

if you aren't careful, people will use flowery language to describe their selfish & self serving interests and make it sound like a noble thing that you exhaust & deprive yourself meeting them.

[Olu @oludascribe]

@TopeLawanson At all o!

[Olu @oludascribe]

for the most part those who are loud about

"my love language is gifts"

are grifters, gluttons & entitled.

Ask them how many gifts/much money they've given out recently no strings attached,they cant answer

Cos they really mean l only care about receiving/being gifted.

[Olu @oludascribe]

whether the gifter has savings or or not doesn't concern them

as long as the gravy train is uninterrupted..

beg, borrow,steal, overdraft

getting their gift is all they care about

expect anything from them?

crickets,ghosting or volcanic eruption

rarely ever reciprocity

[Olu @oludascribe]

they rarely/if ever consider how much their demands & expectations are putting on the post-bills income if the giver

as long as they get to keep theirs and spend what they are gifted or avoid using their own income to buy the things they con out of the gifter

that's NOT love

[fentanyl ferret @NightFawnArt]

stop having sex with men. period. stop having sex with men you don't know, with men you can't verify will stay wit you, with men who want to get people pregnant, with men who you think you can fix, all of them.

Stop having sex with men. they don't care about you.

[Olu @oludascribe]

@Tha_XYZ likely more attention seeking and seeking like minds in their neurosis and hysteria.

[Olu @oludascribe]

Even Freud may not know how to diagnose people who record themselves crying and having meltdowns.

[Olu @oludascribe]

Some conversations on marriage on this app wont be so frequent, if
- character & integrity was at the top of the list of spousal choice
-people weren't resentful they have to be of service & not just served
-people didn't marry with hidden self serving motives, spouse = utility

[Olu @oludascribe]

Some people speak in hyperbole

1-cos they are dramatic

2-Cos its their means of manipulation, emotional blackmail, guilt tripping ,distraction & escape accountability Its more disingenuous than hyperbole

Reduce frustration in your life easier by discerning which is which

[Olu @oludascribe]

If you've seen a few episodes of THE CROWN, you'd see the irony in the demand for "Princess treatment"

There are obligations & accountability to

her title,
the crown,
the family
the public

more about others less about self

more duty than pampering

reality v fairy tales

[Olu @oludascribe]

The world of men will fall, and all will come to darkness, my city to ruin.
