HOT TAKE: Boys aren't raised to be men. They're raised to not be girls. That's the root of so much misogyny. Society doesn't teach boys empathy, emotional honesty, or respect for women as equals, it teaches them to suppress vulnerability, dominate,and fear anything "feminine." They're rewarded for aggression and punished for kindness. And when adulthood hits,these habits don't just vanish, they manifest as entitlement, objectification, and sexism.
normalize leaving people to avoid empathy burnout. yes, i love you, but i am tired of having to ask you to consider me, and i am tired of you not seeing where you went wrong.
Stop ignoring when your talent has been validated in multiple spaces. It's not a gimmick, it's not luck, it's not a once in a lifetime occurrence. You are GOOD at this thing. The proof is there. Accept it and act accordingly.
not only do i love a man that i can call for everything, i love when a man wants to be called for everything. never annoyed, always ready to solve a problem
i am begging some of you to become ok with hearing not-so-great-things about yourself. especially if it is coming from a loved one that historically respects your agency. chances are you unknowingly crossed a boundary & someone is trying to tell you in a respectful way.
To be very clear, I don’t haťe working but I haťe the concept of working 7-8 hours a day and then going home to only about 5 hours to yourself, which includes catching the bus, cooking, and getting ready for the next day. This is not life.
i'm finally coming to peace with the fact that you can't keep tripping over what you can't control, all you can do is stay solid on your end. Everyone gonna do what they want regardless of your feelings. Don't lose your mind tryna figure out where you went wrong.
