I grew up resenting my aunt for being well-off but not helping us financially.
When I started working, I promised myself Iโd be a better version of her. I helped siblings, nieces, nephews, family โ whoever needed it.
Then Black Tax had me in a chokehold, and eventually debt started catching up with me.
Thatโs when I learned to set boundaries.
I finally understood that I donโt owe anyone financial support simply because weโre family. And, most importantly, I stopped feeling guilty about it.
Funny how adulthood teaches you to understand the people you once judged.
I need rest of footy twitter to unite and call out @OfficialPSL@orlandopirates for this.
This is not just a Pirates issue, itโs our issue.
For years now we have been calling for safer measures at stadiums
We always report that tickets are not scanned and people bribe security
Psychology calls it authority bias: even if you disagree with Cyril Ramaphosa politically or criticise his leadership every day, your brain still recognises him as thee President of South Africaโthe countryโs highest constitutional office. His title alone carries a charming psychological weight most of us cannot resist๐ญ
It is also known as the aura of status: social hierarchies often dictate how our brains react when we meet a powerful or famous person in real life๐ฌ
Teargas, pepper sprays, tickets not scanned because scanners arenโt working, security allowing people without tickets to enter are some of the things that are going to see esigodini witness a stampede.
@orlandopirates, please look into this safety hazard before the bomb explodes
