@dr.dante_assad: Drake’s 40th birthday party gives us something to discuss. But men, we can’t critique him without examining ourselves. Before we throw around “arrested development,” ask: Do I know who I am, or do I keep changing myself to get approval? Psychological research on “precarious manhood” examines the pressure to continually prove our masculinity to other people. Research on authenticity also links living in alignment with our values to greater self-esteem and well-being. Neither finding tells us what Drake is thinking. A birthday clip cannot establish someone’s emotional development. But here’s the question for the rest of us: What values do we stand on when nobody is applauding? Self-acceptance means being honest about who we are while remaining willing to grow. Otherwise, we can spend decades performing for a crowd that keeps changing its expectations. Men: what have you stopped doing just to fit in? #Drake #Masculinity #champagnepapi #SelfAcceptance #fyp

“The intention of this video isn’t to critique how someone celebrates their birthday” proceeded to critique how someone celebrates their birthday and microanylzing his entire mental state because he said if someone isn’t here f em that he’s seeking validation lol not even mentioning that 99% of his speech was just thanking and appreciating everyone that showed up and how we should appreciate life. Also wtf does him wearing a badazzled suit have to do with anything lol are we in middle school ?
