I took my 4 year-old for a haircut the other day.
His regular barber wasn’t around, so another guy in the shop offered to help, said he could handle it just fine. The moment my son saw him, his whole mood changed. He clung to me, shook his head, and made it very clear he wasn’t interested.
Then came the pacing, the hiding behind my legs, the quiet resistance that people often mistake for “acting out.” I could feel the eyes in the room almost immediately. That unspoken expectation to just make him behave.
The barber, trying to be helpful, suggested he could just pick him up and get it over with. I stopped him, gently but firmly. I told him to give me a few minutes instead. So I slowed things down.
I started distracting my son, pulled up a short cartoon on my phone, let him hold onto my hand, even promised we’d call his cousin while we were there. He wanted all of it at once, of course. And still, he wouldn’t sit.
But I knew this wasn’t stubbornness. He just wasn’t ready yet.
At one point, the barber reached for him again, probably thinking he was helping. I had to stop him a second time. I told him we’d either wait until my son felt okay or we’d leave and try another day.
Eventually, the barber…
@BlxckSwiss_ Contrary to what nota is saying
Tyla went international before national
Elaine went international without going national
So it is possible
What happens after that depends kn management and the artist also
Drake is living proof that people can lie on you and gang up on you, but if you're loved, you're loved. To think a finished Drake is still beating all these other rappers on the numbers is insane
Why do the people love Drake?
Because almost everyone can relate to Drake's music, he raps and sings for everyone. A white person can vibe to Drake just as much as a black person can. A man can vibe to Drake just as much as a woman can.
He has actually transcend hip hop itself, because even people who aren't into hip hop actually know and love him. Now that's real star power, maybe almost close to Michael Jackson level
Drake is him
@Shadaya_Knight Without street credibility in rap/ hip-hop music, you're nothing. Hence, rappers, especially Americans, brag about guns, drugs, and strip clubs.
Offset almost lost his life over a $10,000 debt he owed one thug by the name Lil Tjay
A few months ago, Lil Tjay called out Offset, claiming he owed him $10K and called Offset broke
Since then, Offset has reportedly refused to pay, allegedly tellin him to come get it back in blood
They reportedly clashed at the Hard Rock Casino in Miami; it's still unclear what exactly happened there, but Offset was shot and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital
Years ago, Takeoff fellow Migos member was k!lled in a shootout over some poker. It seems Offset didn't learn anything from this, he still behaves like a thug
Lesson: When you make it, drop the ghetto, the mentality and the friends/associates OR else they'll bring you down.
Before the sun rises in USA someone is going to show Trump that the 10-Point Plan is worse than Obama’s deal. Especially the demands such as US military withdrawals from the region; uranium enrichment, ending all sanctions & Iran operating the Strait of Hormuz.
He will release that in fact, this means US defeated.
His small ego will vibrate, Bibi will stroke it and they will turn against all points in the proposed agreement.
They have been undermining negotiations with Iran since he came into office; before 12 day war, after 12 day war. They thought killing supreme leader will result in defeat of Iran & regime change. But they not only united Iranians, they united the whole world behind them. Achieving the opposite of their aims.
The world isolated them, US military generals defied them, & their people took to the streets!
Exposing them as pure Political Sophomores!
These two myopic heads have worked themselves in the most devastating corner in history:- & will find it hard to accept defeat!
The USA must remove Trump from office with immediate effect, long before the two weeks deadline! That is the only solution to end the war!
@MrWills96 Will it still be a World Cup if it doesn't allow every deserving, qualified country to participate but exclude them due to their geographical location?
🚨🇮🇹 Gattuso: “Italy lost just two matches in the group, earned 18 points and still didn’t qualify for the World Cup.
But 10 African teams qualified? Who is going to watch them?
Are you going to sit in front of the TV for Cape Verde or Curaçao?
These qualifying rules are absurd and unfair.”
Patrick Motsepe is the reason why South Africa was awarded a fake penalty. Africa will never win the World Cup because Afcon is bogus. Nakamba did not touch the ball, which is why it did not change its direction.
99.9% of 40 year old men with 700 million dollars sit around with whores.
I could have done the same and talked shit on the Internet and took no risks and just lived easy.
In my heart I knew I’m too old.
I knew I’d been out too long.
That’s why I had to do it.
To face fear. I can’t live scared. I have to know I faced it.
I lost fair and square.
Chase is a true champion.
A warrior - I’m proud of him.
He deserves that belt.
