      Blood (in reality of the covenant) is thicker than water (actually of the womb).

      Adulting. Mostly because people use it to refer to some supposed bucket list that one must do to be considered a grown up (e.g. saving, applying for IDs) when even a child do those, lol.

        Kidding. Mostly because people use it to refer to some suppose bucket list that one must do to be considered a funny one (e.g. punchlines, sarcasm) when even a serious one do those, lol

      “You deserve what you tolerate.”

      Such a mean thing to say to someone who’s at a low point in their life. It’s not a ‘wake up call’ that some people think it is. If you say this to a stranger, I would automatically assume that you lack empathy. No one deserves to be abused or manipulated. Some people grew up without knowing their worth, or how they should be loved and treated properly with respect. Their resilency to abuse doesn’t mean that they deserve it.

      Ignorance is Bliss

      okay lang maging ignorante sa mga bagay bagay pero kung nakaka-apekto na sa mga kasakasama mo hindi na.

      If you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best

      Narrator: Yeah, sure, go justify your crappy, toxic behavior.

      We’re all people, but even at our worst, at least we should try to do our best to be good humans to other humans.

      I get where this quote is coming from, but it’s just been used too many times in the wrong way that the very sight of it leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth.
