@ErickaSimone I feel such a sense of relief after reading your post. No niceties. No hiding. No pretend politeness. No sparing the names. As an European having lived decades in the US I’m still experiencing culture shock triggered by the normalized cruelty combined with superficial politeness, properness, and pearl clutching. Whew.
@andreimoment so you’ve noticed one of the trademarks of my character. STRAIGHT TALK. No polite lying, no gaslighting, superficial politeness. We are getting straight to the point, with an occasional f word for effect. Living that type of lifestyle of constant fakeness is exhausting. I was very young when I made the conscious decision to not act like that. And I’m grateful and honored that you’d notice. 💜🙏🏽
