Who is he to determine a woman's purpose?
And apparently he has two kids from two different women 😭 (the voice not my cat)
@wildrayy Well, his purpose is to focus on his two children and the relationships with the mothers of his children, and not women in general. And since we want to be antiquated with the whole roles thing, the mothers of his children should never have to work. They should be able to focus 100% on caring for their children fathered by him. 🤣🤣🤣 (Idiot) Someone, rescue that cat and those kids!
@@toityboh the cat is mine lol, he is fine 😂 but that man definitely needs to do some work
@@wildrayy Save the booboo! Save the booboo! I have 3!
My purpose is to do whatever I want because I can.
Good questions and being thoughtful in this manner is useful.
Now, to anyone who wants to write something negative - instead of that, please, focus on your life. Imagine being that triggered by someone else’s life and a cat!! 😅 and if you’re triggered, ask yourself why.
I don’t think anyone’s angry at you I think they’re angry at the original audios saying that women’s only purpose is to be baby factories
@@Niko-my7wt oh, I had to delete a few negative comments already saying I’ll die lonely or so 😅 I guess it got to the wrong side.
What we just baby factories?
Why we gotta accomplish things why cant we just be.
8:58 Fall Out Boy concert🖤
love that you put a video of how you felt with II Most Wanted
Thank you!
Fun Fact... This album was actually Act i, initially, and Renaissance was meant as Act ii. In lieu of the pandemic, Bey decided to hold off on putting this one out. Once the shutdowns ended and we were able to get "back outside" she and her team decided that RENAISSANCE should go out first - because it was what the world needed. Dance, free expression, fun and partying. So this county genre-blend album has just been sitting for a few years and was supposed to be the FIRST album release, which is WILD when you consider it.
Yes! I learned so much in the past few days about CC including this and it made so much sense. We truly needed Renaissance and she made such a great decision!
This album is meant to serve as a musical education of the African Americans historic place w/in Country music, which would sound like Irish Folk (great in It's own right, mind you) if it weren't for the Blues & Gospel of the enslaved Africans. This includes the BANJO, which was created by enslaved Africans in the Caribbean then, later brought to The States. Yes, the banjo wasn't created by the Appalachians but by Africans. I could also go into the Black artists that many of the earlier big name white country artists learned from then portrayed as their style.... as it was with Elvis and Black artists like Roy Hamilton, Big Mama Thornton, Chuck Berry and Sister Rosetta Tharpe - The Godmother of Rock & Roll), but it would take awhile. ;) Beyonce adds a bit of those artists work into this album as well. Her last few projects have been a meld of grand musical production, a mosaic of Black History and how the two interconnect. It appears that Beyonce is in a period of the Reclamation and Rejoicing of African American Culture, trying to correct the record due to the erasure and gate keeping whilst also trying to push The Culture forward in Unity, Knowledge and Beautiful Experiences and Conversations. 😎 It's what she's become known for. The Superficial and surface level won't fully appreciate this album over the more curious and expansive minded.
Journaling is so helpful! It's such a good way to get your thoughts out.
Yes, it was truly helpful on my journey, especially lately.
Journaling is amazing. You’re very good with reflecting on yourself and speaking about this.
Great job knowing it’s not for you and going for what you really want. You’re on the right track. Follow your highest path. That’s what you really want! 💎
Thank you for the kind words! ☺️
Good for you going no contact and working through your grief. You deserve to be healthy and happy! You’re doing great sis! Keep going! 🩵
Moments for yourself seem so much more special! You're doing it for you and not the validations of others.
Yes, exactly 👏
Great content! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber! I think you should search for PromoSM!! I’ve been using it to promote my main channel and it helped me get my videos higher in the search results.
Thank you for talking about this and also being in limbo about employment, im in the same situation about taking office work and such but also being separated. Im actually starting office job tomorrow and im worried i will be tied down and cant travel when it opens up again. I was thinking I'd just go to europe this summer and stay a while and hope i can come back to the US, but now that is shattered with my new job. Its been almost 2 years since ive seen my love 😔. I really don't know what it looks like now being forced to stay with the new job and my fiance has a terrible passport.. so only i can travel 😔. We originally planned to marry in finland or Gibraltar as that seemed like the easiest and fastest way for us but that was also shattered from covid 😔
It's crazy. I just watched your video and I have been to almost the same situation. I've met my boyfriend in the US as well + I had to leave the US in March 2020 when my J1 Visa got canceled due to covid. This has been the last time I have seen my boyfriend. I am from Germany and I was sick of waiting for the travel ban to be lifted. That's why I traveled to Mexico and from Mexico to the US. And guess what, I arrived in the US on March 8th 2021. I shared a video on my channel to inform about that trip as well. Unfortunately only in german. I hope that all binational couples can soon be reunited. #loveisnottourism
The Department of State just came out with a new priority from 1-4. K-1 Visas are in #2 priority. My case is at NVC. I am in South Africa which is also Travel banned by US. I had gotten USCIS approved in Oct. 2020. Ì never recieved a new case # so I did inquiry and they sent me the info. Please dont wait everyone if you have not heard from NVC or USCIS, do an inquiry. If you let a year go by without contact, it could get thrown out and you have to start over. Keep on top of it. I wish everyone best of luck!
Your video touched me. I am an American and my Fiancé is Filipino. Our process has now been a year and my heart breaks every day, so I understand. I know that people are only trying to be helpful when they say, "don't worry" or "it won't be long" or "keep the faith"...but its not helping any more. My heart breaks every time I talk to him on video chat and I see his beautiful face that I can't touch. I wish I had words of advice but its so hard to stay positive in this time. A few weeks back we found out that Manila went back on lock down and we both got on the phone and cried. We have had wedding plans canceled and I am at the point where I will marry him as soon as he gets off the plane after his 24 hr trip to the U.S. I don't care about a ceremony or getting the "right" person to marry us, or even which family members want to be there! I am so ready to be married to him. Anyway, I am a bit emotional right now. I thank you for posting this video
Your idiot President Duterte has caused the US Embassy in Manila to shut down routine visas including K1's. With all the lockdowns, curfews, travel bans especially in Manila and NCR there is no way the US Embassy will go back to routine K1 visa interview anytime soon. Good job duterte
“Let’s unite in our struggle” haha ilysm sis. I’m being salty with you. My fiancé case is at nvc, waiting to be sent to Frankfurt. Hopefully we see a move now that k-1 aren’t part of the ban. Good luck to you sis ❤️
I really agree with you ..
Very hard process. We've been waiting for 13 months now. Case is at the Consulate but they don't tell you anything. Complete confusion. I pray that you two will be together soon with a visa approval!
Glad to hear you’re at the Consulate at least. It’s been almost 12 months and we are still at USCIS. But I do understand that frustration. Hopefully, you will be able to get the interview soon and reunite! Thank you too! ☺️
Appreciate the meaningful content - healthy self-love needs to be prioritized currently! I go deep into self-love in a video series a few months ago on my channel too . I hope videos like ours inspire people to manifest self-love. Just subscribed to your channel also - KZreadrs like yourself should be highlighted more
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it. And I agree self-love, especially now, is extremely important, we should start putting ourselves first.
@@wildrayy For sure!
I AM WITH U IN THIS JOURNEY,, EVEN MY FIANCEE IS IN SPAIN BARCELONA MY CASE HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BUT EMBBASY IN MADRIR IS MAKING THIS STUPID EXCUSES BY NOT ALLOWING HER TO TAKE AN APPOINTMENT. SUCKS TO BE IN THIS STAGE .. IDK WHY THEY DONT LIFT THIS BAN USING TESTING PCR MEASURES RIGHT??
I'm fell the same way sis that other time. Same stressful like yours. My petition since end November 2019 and approved 2 Feb 2021. Hope the best an pray for you n fiance 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow, 2 years? Crazy! I am happy you got approved tho 🥳hopefully everything else will move faster! And thank you so much 😊
I feel the some way
✨The blog post about self-love with 10 journal prompts wildray.net/how-to-love-yourself-5-ways-to-practice-self-love/
I love you❤️
U are right This is becoming a problem our case for k-1 visa, It took 8 months to get a proof now it’s at national Visa Center we haven’t gotten anything yet, well I hope u case gets Approved soon.
Thank you! Wish you a lot of patience as well. It takes so so long.
It is SO HARD to be in a long distance relationship. So much stress! I just submitted my K-1 Visa Packet and am hoping for the best.
Congrats and good luck! Hopefully it will go faster for you. Seems like USCIS is working faster now as well.
@@wildrayy Thank you very much!
Finally my k1 case forwarded to embassy today on March 16/2021. NVC sent me a letter to notify case number
Congratulations! That's amazing and such a big step.
@@wildrayy Thank you & hope you will get very soon.
🔥Just to add, of course, you have to be persistent and show up in order to achieve anything. Read my blog post to learn more: wildray.net/how-to-build-new-habits-6-practical-tips/
My case will turn 2yrs in July 🥺
I am so sorry to hear this! Stay strong!
I filed for my K-1 in December, 2019 and got approved after 13 months in January, 2021. Then took 5 weeks at NVC and now at Embassy. Still no interview date for my fiance'. not to mention that its taking toll on my life. 15 months so far but still waiting.
I am sorry to hear that. It is really devastating. 13 months is sooo long to wait for an approval. Hopefully there will be an interview soon. I wish you a lot of strength and patience!
It's frustrating when you live a life of uncertainty. My blood pressure has gone up because of this issue. We applied since December 2019 but still at NVC. Please did you fill any other documents or pay any fee to facilitate it to your present stage which is at the embassy. Because we are confused on the lack of progress of our own case. Thank you.
My heart goes out to you two. I really hope the ball starts rolling for you soon. It sucks being in limbo. You just want to start your life, your career, and your next adventure. You have everything to do it, but this obstacle is blocking you. I know it sucks when people ask if you are leaving or staying instead of asking if they can help or what is next in the process. You are really putting a lot on the line to be with Dustin.
Thank you, Ashley! I know we will make through it. But this process has been sooo long =(
There are lots of us stuck. we where approved in December 2020 last week i talked to the nvc they said our case is ready to goto the Philippines but they are not accepting k1 visas right now :( so its just a waiting period. it is very hard being away from the one you love.. but hang in there its not always going to be like this.. it will all be worth it one day..
I agree, it will be worth it. But these restrictions, at this point, are unnecessary. Celebrities and rich people can travel for award shows and non-essential work so should the family members and unmarried bi-national couples. It just doesn't make sense. But I hope very soon we will hear something and the visas will start getting processed again =)
Hi I have Same case with you. the petition is approved in March 2020 transfered to NVC in April 2020. Nothing heard from NVC Until today. Yesterday I sent email to NVC to notify my concern because it delayed morethan enough. Yes Love is not tourism rather it is life. Anyways although it is incredibly hard let us wait & see by the coming weeks. Dear sister, please cool down & stay with patience.
Such a cutieee, thanks for sharing ✨
You are so kind =)
Hi Julia! Amazing what you have done there.. If everyone does it would've been a utopia! 😂 (Or easier if they stop throwing #$%#% everywhere!!) Hope you are doing well, been a while since ur last video.. stay safe! Let he fans know you are doing well! ♥
Yes, I hope more and more people will realize how important nature is and that they can do small steps as well.
This was my nightmare as a watershed intern for 3 years (and my brothers, you should ask him about it). People just throw their stuff out their car windows and it gets swept down the gutters. We had to pick up that trash. You never knew if the yellow liquid in bottles was pee or really old cola. After a while, it just enrages you.
I can only imagine. It has to be taught in schools to not litter! Thanks for subscribing =)
Beautiful. Felt at home after long.
Thank you! =)
i absolutely adore this
loved this video it’s so unique new subbie let’s support each other!💞110

Hey! Thank you so much for the kind comment ☺️

U deserve more subscribers!
Emma Powell thanks a lot! One day 💕
I know this is an old video, but it made me think about some things. Thanks for sharing your story.
I miss watching your videos. I hope you return someday. Much joy to you :)
lightbeing1980 hey, thank you! And it's funny because I am literally planning my next videos right now 😂 I had to get a break for some personal reasons))
I guess that was a coincidence with the timing. Or perhaps it was an astrological thing (I'm joking) :)
Very beautiful! :)
