This. is. why. I. understand. Younger generations don’t believe a word people in authority say.
And rightfully so.
You all have corporate lied, cheated, and set up systems that only benefit yourselves at their expense for decades. “it will trickle down“ and “benefit everone” 🙄
Rise up and vote!🔥🔥🔥
a n y w a y. my series ends today and I’m relieved to know I could attempt a year 2 thanks to recommendations from this year and repeat developers who make visual novels—plural—with Black LIs ☺️🫶🏽 stay tuned for my fave otome game LOL
28.02.2026 16:59 — 👍 6 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0here: the end result is the praise, and if it’s on me to praise my own journey and pat myself on the back, the best you’ll get is a checklist. don’t expect me to assign positive value to something I’m learning how to or hoping to process
28.02.2026 16:57 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I think we tell people it’s okay to be afraid but we don’t mean it, and that hollow boost feels real detrimental. I do so many things terrified (and with great anxiety) and the accomplishments don’t hold water b/c no one understood how much I lost to push forward. does this make sense?
28.02.2026 16:54 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I’m actually tired of putting on a brave face lol. exhausted. I want to be scared and acknowledge my fear and not have it used against me. I want encouragement to sound less like blind “you can do it” and more like “I know you’re terrified but you’re in good company” 🥲
