This episode I'm covering a lot of important juicy topics. First I start with getting into Tinashe's song "Unconditional" from her album, 333. The album is one of my favorites so far this year and although it's bop after bop, I picked this song to get into because it perfectly sheds light on how toxic the idea of unconditional love is. It's really manipulative and women have been brainwashed into eating up the idea that being a "ride or die" is something to be proud of. In reality, with the wrong partner, it's degrading, humiliating, and will wear you down little by little till u have no self respect or self confidence left. I talk about when it's time to let it go, what circumstances are just beyond repair, and what a real healthy love is supposed to entail. Unconditional love is romanticized and it's time to let it die.
I also get into a few tweets about how the way you're raised completely shapes your reality and affects your expectations in relationships. Sometimes even if people are doing their best, it's not enough, but it doesn't mean they're a bad person in totality. You can try to teach someone to love you, and you absolutely should, but if it becomes too much and it feels like ur teaching the same lesson over and over and it falls on deaf ears, it's time to hang it up.
Then I get into a few topics that circulated social media from twitter to tik tok to instagram. There's a quote by Chris Rock that circulates Twitter from time to time about how men aren't loved without providing something, but women, children, and dogs are loved unconditionally... You know i have thoughts about this false statement. There was a whole Twitter discourse about getting your girl flowers if she asks for them, and then a video on tik tok that went viral on all social media platforms of this insecure little man that went on a rant about being "dominant", "a leader", and why women are single today, and that if he provides for you, you better do what he says. He also says no woman will ever be his queen because they’re not his mom. Yikes.
Naturally that led into the topics of mommas boys, emotional incest, and triangulation. Ended with a lil recap on the recent Summer Walker drama on Instagram live, where she went off on London on da Track, and his two other baby mamas. Lot's on fun info so tune in!
