The sad truth is that those who bring up Tiana in these discussions don’t honestly care about her. They use her as a convenient talking point without having seen The Princess and the Frog, read her comic book or Twisted Tales novel, or even acknowledged the whitewashing of her character in Ralph Breaks The Internet. Their interest in Tiana seems only to surface when it’s time to criticize another woman of color, a disheartening reality.
When things started to get better for Toji, his wife died. When she died, he was lost again in life and began to make terrible decisions, along with being emotionally unstable. As someone who lost someone I loved with all my heart to death around the time I got intoJujustu Kaisen, this hit too close to home for me.
I told myself just to be quiet and leave it alone, but there was a statement that said, “Members were kicked out for causing disturbances,” and I would go ahead and let you know that was not the reason why we were not there anymore. When, yes, I was kicked out, but numerous other members had left. I just simply did not say anything, but my silence made it clear where I stood with the community and didn’t want to be a part of it any longer. This is why I did not feel comfortable being here anymore.
I wish Renee Rapp a good recovery, but this just reminded me of an ongoing occurrence: I rarely see celebrities wearing masks, but they are out everywhere all the time. Part of being a star requires you to make public appearances; I get that, but from my observations, they are all everywhere, taking little to no precautions.
Before my mother's death, I will say that half of my life was dedicated to taking care of her. She always had issues with her health, and being as young as nine years old was when I first started to care for her. When she died, it was the first time I could truly take care of myself. Going to therapy wasn’t doing much, and you want to know why? Because afterward, when my session was over, I had to take care of her. One of the main things causing me so much distress, and I had no choice.
Let me tell you something: plenty have started podcasts only really to talk about dating culture along with being extremely misogynistic, and guess what? I am not a fan of those podcasts, and many others have expressed that they don’t like them much. Here are some of my favorite podcasts; you may find one that captures your interest.
While the context of the situation is different than what I’m feeling, the line where Millhouse says, “How miserable do I have to be before you're happy?” sticks with me forever. I continue to ask myself, “Why do you continue to put your well-being at stake for the comfort of others? If you keep doing that, you’ll keep being taken advantage of and have no money in your pocket.”
What better way to close out one of the most challenging years of my life on a positive note than with some things I enjoyed? I liked many things in 2023, and if I sat and talked about all of them, you would be here all day, and I know you want to do other things, hehe.
Ah, it’s wrap-up season, isn’t it? This year, I tried to go after things I would enjoy, as I do not have the patience to sit to anything I won’t enjoy. Thankfully, I enjoyed most of the media I consumed this year, but there will always be some bad apples in the bunch. I have read quite a few books in 2023 and enjoyed most of them, but I found myself irritated after finishing some of the stories. Here are the books I disliked the most in 2023.
But you were much more than just a person I worked with; you were a good friend of mine just as well. I could talk to you about anything, even when it came down to shows you never watched or books you never read, you always listed. And you always offered me great advice. You were aware of my workaholism and encouraged me to rest. I really appreciated that.
2023 has been a very draining year for many. Let’s go ahead and get the cat out of the bag. Every week, more like every day, it’s something new. Even when I am doing things for fun, I am with the dread of how dark the world is and want to lie down.
Do I feel any different about her death now than I did back then? The answer is yes: I feel worse.
