Haha they listed Chris as a potential sugar daddy? And you think Chris saw this? Anybody maybe considered the fact he might be into it? Might be his kink ?
There's no way Chris didn't see it. That hater account (Mila) kept tagging everyone on posts about it, and his circle kept checking her stories. Chris muted this account when Lightyear trailer dropped, and then unmuted her; Lisa blocked her, and Alba kept checking her stories from December to April (she blocked her as soon as Chris muted her). Megan was also tagged on every single post from that account. So yeah, everyone in his circle DOES know about the sugar baby account

dreams reaction to their s/o going from a girl crush concept to a sexy concept? (you don’t need to do Jisung’s reaction if you’re not comfortable)
for jisung i decided to go from a girl crush concept, to a more serious one instead of sexy. kind of like the red concept and velvet concept? i hope you know what i mean haha
Huang Renjun
wouldn’t expect it, but definitely thinks it’s fitting after he sees you in the mv! it’s the first time you rap in a song, and/or a title track. things you did: that. things it did to him: raging hard on. wow. get home and take care of it for him.
definitely loves the concept on you; confidence is really attractive to renjun, and you were killing it! probably swoons about your stage hours later to the dreamies, and doesn’t care how much he annoys them lmaooo
will probably ask you to wear that outfit more often, if you’re able to keep it ;) he likes seeing you in skirts ;)) doesn’t matter actually because he keeps ripping them off you but your thighs look so delicious in them, yum
his lockscreen for the next few weeks is your concept photo, he just can’t resist lmao
Lee Jeno
dies and ascends to heaven. halleluja. his girlfriend walking around like she owns the place??? ohhh my god. he doesn’t know if he wants to put you in your place or continue watching because it’s that good.
would absolutely get shy the first time he watches the mv, and the next few times he has a hard time dealing with his boner lmaooo
would make you take care of it teehee. to me, this man screams dom, so he’ll force you on the bed all punishment mode. “take care of what you started. do you see what you do to me, love? it’s all your fault.”
he’s the king of duality, so when he sees how well you slip from one role into another? instant turn on. praises you so much for it. there’s no one prouder than lee jeno, openly compliments you on sns for your hard work and the finished project!
would definitely affect his bedroom behavior tho... the man is already rough, but after getting so worked up because of your sexy perfomance? rip your legs
Lee Donghyuck
teases the SHIT out of you. “y/n, what are you doing? didn’t anybody tell you you look too cute to seem dangerous? did someone have to lift you on that motorcycle?”
he’s secretly hiding how turned he is, trust me. watches the mv so many times and has to stop himself from letting his mind slip to more sinful places
uses it as an excuse to punish you in the bedroom; he’s unforgiving. “what, did you think you could play all coy without any consequences? get on the bed, ass up.”
after he turns your legs into jelly though, he’ll praise you so much for doing such a good job !! he’s amazed by your stage presence, is that really his y/n?? you’re so talented baby!! do the thing again where you bat your eyelashes at the camera!
Na Jaemin
turns into the BIGGEST cheerleader you’ve ever seen. i’m not kidding. your first performance? he’s screaming fanchants from backstage. you win an award for the comeback? he starts crying right alongside your band members. seriously. that man worships the ground you walk on
like renjun, he’d definitely be affected by your appearance and looks in the mv; probably goes all sugar daddy mode and buys you more clothes that fit the concept lmaoooo someone stop him
you were nervous about the comeback since it’s such an unusual concept for you, but he’ll take all the time in the world to calm you down! he adores you and knows for a fact that no matter what concept it is, you’ll smash it. he’s in love with every single thing you do. don’t be shy!
will definitely get turned on and takes it all out on you. rip your legs pt 2, it was good while it lasted,,,,
Zhong Chenle
IS THAT Y/N? IS THAT REALLY HIS Y/N???? HIS SWEET GIRLFRIEND???? WHAT???????
spends an entire hour screaming as he rewatches the music video istg that kid is so LOUD you can bet your sweet ass renjun put him into a chokehold to shut him up
but how could he!!!!! look at you go!!! jesus christ you look so hot in that all black outfit, IS THAT GARTERS HE SEES??? GARTERS ON HIS Y/N??????????
another dreamie who dies and ascends to heaven lmao look at him go. you killed the dude with one (1) look. if you ain’t the most beautiful thing he’s ever laid eyes on wow
prepare for a looooot of heavy making out and hickeys up and down your throat, it’s the only way for him to show you how much he appreciated that
Park Jisung
huh????????
jisung.exe has crashed, please try again later
scares you with how quiet he is when he watches the mv, and then watches it again,, and again,,, and again,,,,,,
you have to take away the phone out of his hands to make him stop and finally tell you what the hell he’s thinking ahshwjwh you’re so nervous, what if he didn’t like it? what if he prefers you with a girl crush concept?
“y/n, you killed it. that was- wow. can i watch it again?”
UwU
after you rip him out of his trance, he literally can’t stop babbling. SHOWERS you with compliments and keeps stopping the mv to show you how stunning you look, how smooth your movements are, did you practice your dancing??? he’s so proud of you!!!!!
kisses you several times and praises you for weeks, you definitely rocked it and he can’t stop listening to the song on repeat uwu
captain of the y/n cheerleading squad
(definitely blushes atleast once though, no matter how much he denies it)

Helping Hands - Part Three
Hello again lovely readers! So I finally got a bit of smut in the end, hopefully this all reads as somewhat believable haha!
Questions, feedback, requests and random messages are always welcome!
Pairing: Sugar!daddy Bucky x Reader Warnings: Language, Smutty smut, Daddy kink sorta, F (oral receiving), a cliffhanger you gon’ hate me for
——
It had been two months since the party and you and Bucky had spent a remarkable amount of time together. Despite both your busy schedules he had found a way to take you on some amazing dates, theatre trips, 5-star restaurants and a weekend away and even a red carpet event, hosted at one of his hotels.
You were both quickly smitten. You always felt so guilty when he didn’t let you pay for anything. You certainly didn’t have nearly as much cash as him, but you hated the thought that he might think you were using him. Any time you offered he waved you off with a bright smile and whisked you away on some new adventure. You’d never felt like this with anybody. He made you feel like you were the only important thing in his world. He always made time for you and he seemed to know not just what you wanted, but what you needed. You tried to reel in your desires and affections as to not appear to keen, but he always saw through it. And much to your delight, returned it.
——
Your first kiss had been somewhat more dramatic than planned. You had gone for a walk through the park, after another delicious meal and were stood by a small lake. His arm wrapped around your waist and you lent your head on his broad chest, sighing in content. As you tilted your head to look at him he went to kiss your forehead, resulting in a somewhat bumpy kiss. Giggling you had pulled at his coat jacket as his hands cupped your face and met for a much more satisfactory kiss that had butterflies erupting in your stomach.
Sadly a flash had gone off right at that moment and you realised you were now a paparazzi target, dating the city’s hottest bachelor. You found several trashy gossip magazines on your desk the next morning all with your face plastered over them. You cringed and threw them in the trash, praying your boss hadn’t seen them.
——
“I caught one of them lurking outside my apartment this morning. Who’d have thought seeing me leaving my home would be newsworthy?” You chuckled to Bucky as you helped him wash up the dishes in his penthouse kitchen. His arms circled your waist and he planted a soft kiss behind your ear. “I’m sorry sweetie.” Before you could say anything he drifted away from you and stood by the window, looking out over the city.
You dropped the dish towel and padded over to stand beside him, hugging his arm to you. He smiled at you but it was laced with a sadness you had never seen from him before. “I know you didn’t ask for this. I’m a difficult guy to date, so I’ve been told...” you blushed remembering the conversation you had overheard with his last girlfriend. “I understand if it’s too much, I wouldn’t blame you if you ran for the hills.”
You looked at him for a moment and then gave him a firm shove. “You’re gonna have to do better than that to get rid of me Barnes! I can handle a few dodgy paparazzi, I’m tougher than I look!” He mirrored your grin and pulled you in for a painfully soft kiss. When you pulled away, he was still smiling, but there was a slight crinkle in his eyebrows, still concerned about something.
“Spill it.”
He huffed and pulled you away from the window and sat you down next to him on the sofa. He was cute when he was flustered you decided, as you watched him fluff his words and huff around whatever was on his mind. Normally he was so cool and collected, when he walked into any room it was like he was King. His every whim was catered to, he didn’t even have to ask for what he wanted, it was like everyone in the room had telekinetic powers and you were swept up in the mystery.
Even with you he clearly liked to be in charge. You hadn’t slept together yet, which was driving you crazy by the way, but when you had your heavy make out sessions he would know exactly how to drive you crazy. His hands would roam here and there, teasing you enough to make you whimper as his mouth dominated yours. He would drag you into his lap and squeezing your soft body, or press you against wall if the mood took him, and it was working for you. But whenever he teased you he would then pull away with a shit-eating grin and tell you he wanted to wait until you were ready, ignoring your whines and pulling you back to reality.
“I like to be in charge baby, and I need to be with someone who doesn’t mind that. I want to be with someone I can take care of, spoil even. And I’ll take care of every need baby, that’s a promise. I need you to put your trust in me and I’ll do the same for you.”
You were a little taken aback for sure. His eyes searched your features, afraid of your rejection. “Bucky- I- are you offering to be my Sugar daddy?” His face relaxed a little and a little grin tugged at his bearded face. “If you want to call it that- I guess?” You sat back a little, still holding on to his hands.
“I don’t know how to be a sugar baby” you giggled nervously, “I feel guilty when you buy me slice of cake!” He chuckled again and kissed your hand, obviously feeling relieved that you hadn’t stormed out in disgust. “I just want to make you happy sweetheart, is that ok?”
You nodded and wrapped your arms around him, feeling him grip you tightly. Pulling back slightly you looked each other in the eyes, feeling excited and nervous all at the same time. He cupped your face and ran his thumbs across your cheeks. “Are you sure you’re ok with this?” He whispered, eyes darting to your lips occasionally.
You answered him by planting your lips on his, and climbing into his lap. Your fingers pulled at his chestnut hair and dragging a groan from him which sent a white hot streak of desire straight to your core.
His hands gripped your thighs, squeezing your ass and ever so gently guiding you to grind against him. You gasped and bit down on your lower lip, drawing his attention to it until he had to bite on it himself, just because he could. “Bucky...please” you whispered against his lips, his beard scratching your soft skin as he began trailing down your neck, to suck a purple mark, claiming you as his.
“Tell me what you want kitten?” He glances up at you, finding your eyes filled with lust. “You- please, you” You whispered, not caring how needy you sounded. The prominent bulge pressing against your core was proof you were doing everything he liked, so far. “Such a polite little kitten” he teased, sucking another mark on to your collarbone as you ground even harder onto him.
Everything was so slow until he wrapped your legs around his waist and stood up in a swift motion and carried you to his bedroom still kissing you. He dropped you onto the mattress, quickly grabbing your ankles and pulling you toward him. “Show me where you need me kitten” he growled, stepping out of your arms reach. You felt a little shy, but his lust-filled gazed gave you enough confident to pull your top over your head, revealing your cute black lacy bra.
Your ears perked when you heard his belt buckle clink, feeling a rush of excitement as he tossed onto the bed next to you. You continued in your game, pushing your little black skirt down your legs leaving you in nothing but lacy underwear. Unable to resist you, Bucky pressed his thumb to your clothed core and rubbed a slow circle. He smiled as you blushed, both aware of how wet you had become, just from this little tease.
“So pretty baby. Keep going, wanna see you show off for me” your entire body was tinged a delicious pink as you unclasped your bra and shimmed it out tossing it toward him as he stood at the foot of the bed watching you. His pupils were blown, his chest was raising faster than normal and his cock was straining against his dark slacks as you slowly m pulled your panties off and down to your ankles, until Bucky pulled them away and tucked them into his trouser pocket.
“Tell me again, and maybe I’ll give you what you really need baby” he growled, wrapping his hand gently around your throat, sucking on your kiss swollen lips. Your fingers wrapped around his strong arm and you pulled him as you pouted at him. “Please Bucky, please! I’ll be such a good girl for you...”
Kissing you once more he pushed you back against the bed and you felt his hand drift down to your breasts, squeezing like he owned them, flicking your sensitive nipples with his thumbs, making you squirm and moan. He didn’t ease up, pinching gently then harshly several times until you dug your nails into his arm and wrapped your ankles around his waist, not sure if you would last another second.
“Such an eager little girl huh?” You whined and dug your ankles in harder “please, please I need it” You whimpered praying he would finally give you what you so desperately needed. You felt the arm you were gripping on slide down your body, he dug his fingers into your tummy, making you jerk a little involuntarily, hearing his gravelly chuckle. You were about to scream in frustration when your voice died in your throat.
His long fingers had come into contact with your clit, expertly flicking and drawing circles around it. Your body tensed as his lazily dragged his fingers along your folds, gently pressing at your entrance then pulling away to tease your clit again. It was heaven and hell combined as he dragged you closer to your climax, your mind unable to to focus on anything just trying not to black out.
“Told ya I’d take care of you didn’t I baby? Hmm you feeling good kitten?” You were aware of your voice making a wailing noise, as he finally sunk his fingers into your dripping pussy with ease. You squirmed around his fingers as he continued to rub his thumb around your tender clit, his other hand still pulling and rubbing at your nipples. Your chest was heaving as he pumped harder and faster, your hands grabbed at the bed spread desperately trying to stay grounded.
You had never been touched this way, you were covered in sweat and you had completely fallen apart, and Bucky hadn’t even gotten undressed. This man was going to be your undoing. You were almost gaining some headspace back when you suddenly felt his lips connect with your clit, his beard rubbing perfectly on the sensitive skin of your pussy.
You squealed, almost unable to take the pleasure and you bolted upright, pulling at his hair. He looked up, lips glistening and he used his free hand to pinch your chin and drag you towards him. “Come for me baby, let me see you come undone” He pumped faster and faster, as you moaned into his mouth, gripping his shoulders like your life depended on it. You felt your walls flutter, your cunt dripping as he crooked his fingers and stroked your g-spot. It only took a few until your eyes rolled in your head and you fell back onto the bed, moaning and sobbing with pleasure as you came.
Your thighs twitched as he peppered kisses all over them, he devoted a few more to your breasts until he reached your neck and lips. “Such a good girl for me huh?” He drawled as you whimpered, barely able to return his kisses.
Suddenly his presence vanished from your body and you felt a chill over your body. You whimpered and managed to roll yourself onto your side finding, your limbs heavy and your hair a sweaty mess. You watched as Bucky took a seat in the corner of them room, untucking his shirt and spreading his thick thighs you propped yourself up onto one arm, lip caught between your teeth, as he started to unzip his pants. “Feeling good now kitten?” He asked casually, watching your body lean towards him, despite the distance. You nodded, squeezing your thighs together and absentmindedly sucking on your finger as he crooked a finger towards you.
“Mustn’t forget our manners now kitten. Come and say thank you now baby...”

Cill Fisher: The Sprudge Twenty Interview
Priscilla Fisher (Photo courtesy Priscilla Fisher)
Our coverage of the Sprudge Twenty interviews presented by Pacific Barista Series continues this week on Sprudge. Read more about the Sprudge Twenty and see all of our interviews here.
Nominated by Grant Gamble
Cill Fisher is the co-founder of Floozy Coffee, an Australian coffee roasting and retail company based in Newcastle, New South Wales.
More information about Cill from Floozy Coffee’s website:
“Cill has a background in economics and women’s advocacy, and recently earned her Master’s in Economic Development based on a systematic review of women’s land rights in the coffee sector. Cill was invited to be a guest speaker at Beanstock Coffee Festival in Canada in 2018 to discuss inclusivity in the sector and has since been featured as a speaker at a number of other industry events promoting the role of women in the industry.”
“Floozy was founded in 2017 as a response to male bias in the coffee sector. Coffee roasting is male-dominated worldwide, as is the entire coffee supply chain. Cill and Kmac work to highlight and support female producers at origin, encourage other women coffee roasters, promote and train female baristas and coffee shop owners, and contribute to future gender disaggregated research within the sector. Floozy’s goal is to promote and advance the women in coffee, showcase the talents of the ladies in the industry, and train up future generations of badass coffee chicks.”
Floozy is at the forefront of fusing specialty coffee culture with feminism and social enterprise. Proceeds from both retail and wholesale coffee sales at Floozy have supported a range of women-centric charities and groups in its two years of operation, including the IWCA, SameCup, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and Carrie’s Place. Floozy’s coffee program highlights the work of emerging coffee producers worldwide, with a focus on women-owned coffee projects. Their coffee ships worldwide.
What issue in coffee do you care about most?
When my business partner Kmac and I decided to start Floozy, it was in response to the underrepresentation of women in coffee roasting. As we got deeper into our business, we discovered that gender inequality in the coffee sector was a major problem at all levels of the coffee supply chain, not just in roasting. At the core of my business and my academic work is the central theme of women’s empowerment. Floozy is focused around the empowerment of women in the coffee chain through purchasing and representation, and my research is concerned with understanding the tools and resources necessary for women in coffee to be able to empower themselves. Both of these aspects of my work contribute to a greater goal of achieving gender equality in the coffee sector.
What cause or element in coffee drives you?
My background is in women’s rights and economic development, so the persistent gender inequality at all levels of the coffee supply chain is definitely what gets me out of bed in the morning.
What issue in coffee do you think is critically overlooked?
Since writing my Master’s thesis on women’s land rights in the coffee sector, it has become really apparent to me just how little we know about the rights and roles of women in coffee producing countries. So much of what we “know” about women in coffee stems from some really outdated and statistically invalid reports. There is a dire need for some quality research into women’s contribution to the coffee sector to better inform the way we purchase and consume coffee.
What is the quality you like best about coffee?
For me, coffee has always been less about the actual drink and more about the people behind it. The people who make coffee are my favorite kind of people.
Did you experience a “god shot” or life-changing moment of coffee revelation early in your career?
Less “god-shot” more “god-barista” (if that makes sense which it probably totally doesn’t). First, my dear friend Clive in Armidale, who got me to cut down from a large skinny cap with two sugars to a large flat white. Then Kmac and Hal in Newcastle, who got me interested in the world of specialty coffee and trained me to order small flatties. And of course, Jacob and Peter at the Coffee Collective in Copenhagen, who introduced me to the magical world of filter coffee, tasting notes, brewing methods, and all that jazz.
What is your idea of coffee happiness?
Being able to spend time alone with a good book in a cafe that feels like home.
If you could have any job in the coffee industry, what would it be and why?
Obviously I love what I’m currently doing with Floozy, so that. I’d also love to get more involved with research, and will be kicking off a PhD next year.
Who are your coffee heroes?
When I first decided to be a coffee roaster, Talor Browne was the only female coffee roaster I knew of. I think she’s amazing and she has inspired me a lot on my journey, and I would totally say that she’s one of my heroes. Kmac is obviously one of my coffee heroes as well. She’s the one who sucked me into this industry in the first place! And of course my partner, Grant, whose passion for coffee is literally unparalleled (ask anybody).
If you could drink coffee with anyone, living or dead, who would it be and why?
Steffen Altmann, my behavioral economics professor from the University of Copenhagen. This man taught me the meaning of good research, and how to truly think critically. I’m sure I owe him a coffee or two.
If you didn’t get bit by the coffee bug, what do you think you’d be doing instead?
Before I accidentally became a coffee roaster, I was going down the path to be a behavioral labour economist. Sounds kinda boring in retrospect.
Do you have any coffee mentors?
I accidentally found myself a coffee mentor in Chris Tellez. We became besties when his cafe, Show & Tell (Kitchener, ON, Canada), bought our coffee. I flew over for a visit, we got matching tattoos, and now we chat almost every day about the struggles and triumphs of running a small business and everything in between. The first thing I see every morning when I wake up is a sign that reads “What Would Chris Tellez Do?”—powerful words to live by! Haha no but seriously the dude’s amazing and I look up to him a lot. That’s why I nominated him for the Sprudge 20!
What do you wish someone would’ve told you when you were first starting out in coffee?
I’m so stubborn that honestly it wouldn’t have mattered. I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way but had plenty of wins too. I think the most important thing is just not to take ourselves too seriously. And that excluding someone or looking down on them for not being Melbourne-enough is actually not that cool. We all belong in coffee, whether we know everything or nothing.
Name three coffee apparatuses you’d take into space with you.
If I can afford to go to space I can probably afford to commission a Kalita 155 in pink. And maybe my Loring. And a Nespresso machine for when things get desperate.
Best song to brew coffee to:
The Crazy Frog by Axel F or anything by the Dixie Chicks. Duh.
Look into the crystal ball—where do you see yourself in 20 years?
I haven’t even been in coffee for two years yet, so seriously, who knows!
What’d you eat for breakfast this morning?
I only eat breakfast on my days off, and they’re pretty rare, but it was super nice to actually have breakfast cooked for me by my boyfriend today! Otherwise it’s normally a flattie followed by too many cups of batch brew.
When did you last drink coffee?
Earlier today!
What was it?
First was a fun Colombian by our friends at Morgon Coffee Roasters in Sweden, and then a French press of Floozy Daddy Issues I found in the back of my cupboard that was roasted almost two months ago. (Side note: how many other coffee roasters out there forget to take coffee home with them?!)

She’s the one who sucked me into this industry in the first place! And of course my partner, Grant, whose passion for coffee is literally unparalleled (ask anybody).
If you could drink coffee with anyone, living or dead, who would it be and why?
Steffen Altmann, my behavioral economics professor from the University of Copenhagen. This man taught me the meaning of good research, and how to truly think critically. I’m sure I owe him a coffee or two.
If you didn’t get bit by the coffee bug, what do you think you’d be doing instead?
Before I accidentally became a coffee roaster, I was going down the path to be a behavioral labour economist. Sounds kinda boring in retrospect.
Do you have any coffee mentors?
I accidentally found myself a coffee mentor in Chris Tellez. We became besties when his cafe, Show & Tell (Kitchener, ON, Canada), bought our coffee. I flew over for a visit, we got matching tattoos, and now we chat almost every day about the struggles and triumphs of running a small business and everything in between. The first thing I see every morning when I wake up is a sign that reads “What Would Chris Tellez Do?”—powerful words to live by! Haha no but seriously the dude’s amazing and I look up to him a lot. That’s why I nominated him for the Sprudge 20!
What do you wish someone would’ve told you when you were first starting out in coffee?
I’m so stubborn that honestly it wouldn’t have mattered. I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way but had plenty of wins too. I think the most important thing is just not to take ourselves too seriously. And that excluding someone or looking down on them for not being Melbourne-enough is actually not that cool. We all belong in coffee, whether we know everything or nothing.
Name three coffee apparatuses you’d take into space with you.
If I can afford to go to space I can probably afford to commission a Kalita 155 in pink. And maybe my Loring. And a Nespresso machine for when things get desperate.
Best song to brew coffee to:
The Crazy Frog by Axel F or anything by the Dixie Chicks. Duh.
Look into the crystal ball—where do you see yourself in 20 years?
I haven’t even been in coffee for two years yet, so seriously, who knows!
What’d you eat for breakfast this morning?
I only eat breakfast on my days off, and they’re pretty rare, but it was super nice to actually have breakfast cooked for me by my boyfriend today! Otherwise it’s normally a flattie followed by too many cups of batch brew.
When did you last drink coffee?
Earlier today!
What was it?
First was a fun Colombian by our friends at Morgon Coffee Roasters in Sweden, and then a French press of Floozy Daddy Issues I found in the back of my cupboard that was roasted almost two months ago. (Side note: how many other coffee roasters out there forget to take coffee home with them?!)

Well hello there! Now it was not really difficult to find my first topic. I believe its trending nowadays…young men are threatened by him and a growing number of girls/young women are swooning over him or swooning only over what he has to offer? Hmm Now for those of you who don’t know, the blesser has no relation whatsoever to the God we know. Rather, the blesser of today is that rich man offering largely financial and material support to a younger female companion in exchange for sex, friendship etc. They call him a blesser, I’m calling him the modern day sugar daddy. In the past, the word sugar daddy had such negative connotations. If one had a sugar daddy they would usually try to keep it a secret or at least try to. But now with the new word, it seems the same man that was shunned upon is being praised. This is extremely disappointing and such a man need not be glorified, ever. He just doesn't qualify to be called a blesser because all he does is breathe negativity into your life that any ray of positivity within you is dimmed. He steals your shine, your ambition, your capacity to achieve. When you are truly blessed you do not worry, rather, you are uplifted, strong, determined and self-sustained. Others may say younger females go to these rich men due to poverty, but I don’t think so. The desperate need for a luxurious lifestyle drives young women into such situations. Young ladies, I understand that we live in a world were we are defined by what we have, how we look or how we dress. Actually scratch that, we define ourselves by what other young ladies have, or how they look and dress. Comparison, the thief of joy. Thus we resort to any means necessary to get what others have. I do not despise a go-getter attitude, I actually encourage it. However, while others choose to get an education which honestly molds you into a more resourceful, knowledgeable and independent young woman who will one day ‘support’ herself, others choose to take the easy road and depend on handoffs from a rich man. Scrolling through my instagram feed I came across a young ladies picture and her caption was "I sleep with rich men, now I have a Rolls Royce", (as to whether this was truly her account or someone had stolen her picture is a story for another day), I just think it's posts like this that shape the wrong mentalities and the sad thing is that the 'postees' do not realise how many young girls they affect. I don't know if you will agree with me but that post to a young,naive girl comes with a lot of pressure! So,I'm by the bus stop waiting for the bus obviously, and a fancy car pulls up and a man asks me for a lift. Buses are nowhere to be seen so I'm tempted to go in. But then I think to myself, this man is old enough to be my father or uncle, who probably has a daughter my age at home. How would I feel if my father was doing this? How many girls does he ask for lifts? Will he ask for my number when I get in? Will he ask for more? Funny how one situation can bring up so many thoughts. A no to this man saves me from lying (because I might give him the wrong number haha), on a serious note, it saves me from possibly breaking up a family and best of all it saves me from extremely dangerous scenarios like kidnapping and rape. One may say I'm being too dramatic, but no. At least 3 out of 5 girls will fall into these categories. Sometimes all you need is self control and patience. As I see the car drive away I tell myself I'll get there someday. I'll also drive someday and I continue about my business. Ladies, nobody can deny that we are beautiful creatures!yes, you and I are beautiful. Which is why these blessers will always have an eye on you. Trying to get a bite of the bread. All those compliments they give you, give them to yourself. You might find this weird but before I leave the house I tell myself "Rejoice you really look good today". It does wonders for your self-esteem trust me. Tell yourself that you are beautiful all the time, you don't need any validation from anybody else. Give yourself that confidence, that self-esteem, that love. The ultimate blesser created you as a unique individual. Why would you want to be just another girl when you can be the only girl? What I'm saying is, you might not be the only ‘blesee’ this man has, is being at the risk of attracting sexually transmitted diseases worth it? Not to mention, 6 out of every 10 people living with HIV are women, AIDS being the killer of women aged between 15 and 24. Let’s work to destroy the virus, not feed it. It is no secret that with money comes power. When you don’t answer the phone that he bought, he gets mad. If he hits you, you don’t have the courage to leave because who then will pay for your gas, rent and bills? So you tip toe around him hoping not to make him mad so that you maintain your lifestyle. You are made small and powerless. Two words no woman should be described as, especially in this day and age. If you are blessed, don't you think you deserve freedom and peace of mind? I am not saying all blessers are abusive but the power they have on a young woman may result in higher chances of gender-based violence. Material things should never define you because you are worth far more than rubies. Do not lose your lifetime worth of dignity for a vacation that only lasts a few days. Young males, do not let the blesser threaten you. Maintain your hustle mentality; never stop being ambitious, never stop achieving. Ladies, that poor boy will soon be rich. Stick by him, support him. A wise person once said sometimes the King is the Queen. Your man needs you to be his backbone, after all is said and done, you’re the reason he is working hard. Fact remains, we all need to stop glorifying these sort of men. Truth is, with patience and hard work we will all get there. Young men, do not feel threatened by the blesser, young women, work hard to someday be independent enough to support yourself. Become so engulfed in your own success that you forget blessers even exist. #SayNotoBlessers #StopGlorifyingthem Leave your comments below and let me know what you think about this weeks blog.
