There are a lot of difficult truths that many of us find hard to accept – what we also refer to as ‘hard pills to swallow’. For some of us, these ‘hard pills to swallow' may take time to digest. So for this podcast, I shared a few of my very own hard to swallow pills.

Over the past few years since then, I have lost friends over ridiculous and unnecessary drama, dated a series of crappy boys, dealt with unfavorable people and the list goes on. Life gave me some hard pills to swallow and in order to become a better person, I had no choice but to take them and accept them. 

Just a gentle reminder that there’s no specific time to learn and accept these harsh truths. It doesn’t make you any less weak or different if you have trouble understanding that life isn’t always going to be golden. Acknowledging your problems is the first step to change for the better. And remember, it will take time end effort to change. It is natural for things to come with time. So don't give up if you're unsatisfied with your progress. Consistency is key. And don't be super harsh on yourself. You can change something, work to change it. No judgment. Just action.

What about you? What are your hard pills to swallow?

𝗚𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝘀 "𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱'𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁."

The opposite of love isn’t hate, it's indifference. Ghosting, for those of you who haven’t yet experienced it, is having someone that you believe cares about you, whether it be a friend or someone you are dating, disappear from contact without any explanation at all. No phone call or email, not even a text. It turns out ghosting really hurts worse than a straight-up rejection. You really don't get a firm sense of what happened. Plus you feel like you weren't even worth a courtesy communication. Ghosting just makes no logical sense other than showing that that person is a coward and can’t tell you they just aren’t interested.

Look, this is something to keep in mind. If you get ghosted, you are dealing with a down-right rude person, with what seems to be 0 manners and absolutely 0 respect towards you. Sure looks and personality are cool, though, In my opinion, manners and respect will come first. You don't want a person that comes and goes whenever they want to and gives you mixed signals making you guess over and over about the way that person feels about you. 

Ghosting hurts and it makes you question yourself. Don't get into the trap of analyzing what you did or didn't do. You were being yourself. You didn't do anything wrong. The right person will dig that. Once you allow yourself to feel your feelings, you accept what is and move on with life. I know it's not that easy but hey,

"ℕ𝕠" 𝕕𝕠𝕖𝕤 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕞𝕖𝕒𝕟, "ℂ𝕠𝕟𝕧𝕚𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕞𝕖."

I took my time with this particular podcast because I wanted to be a voice of experience and encourage others to speak up as well. Rape culture is not normal and is should not be seen as such. Within this culture where women are mostly likely to be the victims, are told to change their own behavior in order to avoid being assaulted or raped. Repeatedly they are told to dress less provocatively and not put themselves in risky situations.

Because of this culture, society has blamed the victim for such assaults that have occurred to them. The right question is not, “What was she doing/wearing/saying when she was raped?” The right question is, “What made him think this is acceptable?”

If you ever find yourself engaging in this sick culture, please listen and educate yourselves. Now is not the time to make excuses. Do not look the other way. And if you are a victim, speak your story, let people know that none of this is okay.

I see you.

I believe you.

I am listening.
